I've cut and paste some of my blogs from my friendster account.

I know…. I’ve been contemplating on ditching my friendster account for some time now. I just can’t bring my self to click that “cancel account” button. Now that i’m back, i’ll be posting blogs again. I want to start with food. My favorite topic! My world revolves around food. In fact, i send virtual chocolates to my friends in facebook. All the time! Heres a list of my new and old favorites.

KFC (yup, at this age, im still a sucker for anything KFC), I just love the original recipe! I tried their new product, the pasta, and it was PERFECT!!! If your’e craving for chicken, look no futher, just visit the nearest KFC.

Shawarma, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like shawarma,

Cheeserolls from Mary Grace. ( I won 1000 pesos worth of GC!! yahooo)

Spaghetti, an all time favorite if you ask me.

Rinbee, the cheese sticks. Just had one a few days ago and it brought back wonderful childhood memories. (I let the cheese stick on my thumb and my indexfinger until I finish the entire pack, then i suck the cheese off my finger. Heavenly!)

Coke and Sarsi. I know… which one right? its just that I love them both. Anything wrong with loving 2 sodas at the same time?

Ensaymada from Muhlackmelt. Regular please.

The nissin seafood pancit canton.

Pancit Canton, I had this pancit in a panciteria in Montalban (k4 Panciteria) super sarap! may lechon! I had to eat at that particular panciteria when I was planning an event there. On event day, I actually visited the resto 3 times. I knew it would take time before I get to taste it again!

Tootsie Pop, the lollipop that has a tootsie roll in it. The strawberry flavor is just awesome.

Sinigang (beef, pork, shrimp, fish…name it, i’ll eat it) this old time favorite is a regular at most of the households i know. Its easy to cook and delicous too. Served with hot rice… it heaven on earth.

NYFD. New York Fries and Dips. I like it because the fries are cut really big. With the skin on. And they have a wild selection of dips that you can choose from. I like the sour cream and the Chili Pepper and Wasabi. Its the best to take in the movies because they serve it on paper cups, unlike the popcorn whick not only makes you cough, its messy! Look at the floor of the theaters, theres always popcorn on it!

Brownies….. ah…. quite difficult to point my finger at who makes great brownies. I like the ones from beckys, if you are craving for the regular one, moist and dark, becky’s is the place to be. But if your’re looking for something different, the Brownies store (SM supermalls) have brownies in different variations, cream cheese, pecan, triple chocolate…. and lot more.

Gulaman at sago.

Santol with bagoong.

Eggplant salad.

Cucumber with vinegar, salt, pepper and sugar.

Beef Steak

Liver Steak

Puto from goldilocks (buttered please)

FIC (fruits in ice cream) strawberry flavor.

California maki, Sugi serves big ones.

Gonuts Donuts (pastillas flavor and choco hazelnut)

Crispy Creme (Glaze and lemon custard)

Dinuguan.

the list would go on and on! no wonder I look like this!

Sick

I hardly get sick, and when I do, it's usually tolerab1e and would only last a few days. Last week, I realized, I must be getting old. I caught a flu, and the worst one i've ever had. My whole body was aching. My head was like being hit with a hammer! No amount of Alaxan or Paracetamol worked. I was told to get some sleep, how could I sleep?! I had the biggest headaches of the century! As a result, I had to take three days off.

The five days (including Saturday and Sunday) I spent at home proved to be worth it. My boys were the best nurses in the world! My wish was their command. Joey, my two year old, kept tucking me in blankets. And Mojo would kiss me on the mouth everytime my eyes were closed (as much as I discouraged him from doing that, he would just say because you're so cute mommy). Nino kept caressing my legs.

I have also discovered how firm Joey can be when he says NO. He also learned, during those five days, to say "LABU", short for "i love you". Ikey, however. being a teenager wasn't seen at home that much. I guess at his age he liked the company of his friends a lot.

Being sick has its benefits. You get to spend time with the ones you really love. And you get to appreciate the tiniest gesture that comes from a toddler. Sometimes, I wonder, where have I been all this time, and who taught them to be so SWEET???

Now, im getting ready to go back to work tomorrow. I wonder when will I be able to spend five straight days with them again. Soon. I hope.

The person seated accross.....

Ive always planned to write about the person seated across my seat in the LRT. I just couldn't find the time to do it. And in the two years that I have been taking the train, I have encountered hundreds of people from different walks of life. I find myself thinking whats on their mind. My mind is full of silly things. At times I get serious... I actually asked God what was he thinking when he gave me four boys. Well that was when I was really stressed over my finances and my personal life. I promised myself never to ask Him that again.. Im afraid to know the answer. I might not like it.
Yesterday, there were two ladies sitting across my seat. I assumed that they were sisters. They shared the same style. Both were wearing black shirts (did somebody die?) and jeans. The shoes the other was wearing was more presentable than the other. They were both carrying big bags.. the other one (with presentable shoes) was carrying a lavender bag, quite stylish if you ask me. The other was carrying a black bag that was,hmmm.... well, not as fabulous as the other. Their features were similar, only the other one, possibly the younger who has better taste, is the prettier...but they have the same nose, the same chin and mouth. Its so hard to explain, the other one, the older one is the ugly version of the young one. This is so frustrating! The were wearing exact headbands.
I wondered what they were thinking...the younger girl was busy "memorizing" something that was on paper. I can see it from where I was sitting. It was an illustration of a hand and the veins were showing. I guess she was memorizing the names of the veins. How odd. Maybe she's a nursing student. But I never really believed in "memorizing". I think only 3rd graders should memorize, not college students! The "sister" was busy with her cel phone. I wonder. Are they happy? or are they frustrated just like me. Or are they looking for happiness? Sometimes, I ask myself, was I ever really happy? or does it have anything to do with contentment? What makes us happy? Really?
