Midnight Snack

when the clock strikes twelve midnight 

and you find yourself awake, bored and with nothing to do,

just get your ass up, make a simple food preparation

and make it look like it's pricey.

then treat yourself more with some pringles

and a glass of fresh milk before calling it a day!

i am not a good cook.

i just know how to do some simple dishes.

like this...

SCRAMBLED EGGS

with lots of cheese, onions and tomatoes 

then sprinkle it with whatever herbs i can find

POTATOES and CHICKEN NUGGETS

i think i can safely say, that i do good at my plating...lol

and top everything up with some Pringles and Milk

while doing what you love to do until you fall asleep. 

everyday is CHEAT DAY for me... lol!

care to eat with me??? :-P

GOODNIGHT EVERYONE!

Three Cheese Mushroom Linguine

Thank God it's Friday!

today is our first ever friendly IG food post competition. i am not really a good cook and i seldom do cooking but i love to play around with my food. and i'd like to claim i have a little skill with plating. Chris a.k.a @cholma, a friend from Canada and i agreed to have some fun with our Instagram posts. we agreed to do our own pasta anytime this week and post it today. so last night, i skipped gym cos it was raining and decided to finally make my linguine.i even sent my gym buddies @sansantres and @hazelsanbuyog some for a taste test.

i am an IG addict, i must admit. i check it more than i check other sites. and much more, i like the thought that i get to be more acquainted with lots of people from different parts of the world and see the beauty of the world through their eyes. technology is not bad after all.

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE. LIVE and EXPLORE.

every place is worth a visit. 

every little thing is worth a try!

One Wednesday Night

November 21, 2012

Abreeza Mall

i met up with Mi Amegas (my friends in my nursing class) on a wednesday night. as usual i was the last person to arrive given my super duper far place. i had to go back home after work to get D3 (my ever reliable camera) and at the same time change. 

L-R: angel, angie, dada, melai, darcy, aldy and me

it has been months since i saw these pretty ladies again. though we constantly send each other messages, it's still different from bonding physically. plus angie is literally miles away too. we are all busy doing our own stuff, but we still see to it that we bond and see each other every now and then. 

angie and kaykay (her daughter) had to leave us early due to a prior commitment. but before they left she handed me over two things from the land down under; one from her and one from jay (her hubby).

thank you JAY for this cute australian glass map paper weight

thank you ANGIE for this Perth ref magnet. it's actually on our ref now. lol

spending some quality time with the people who you consider as friends is really priceless. it doesn't matter if the meeting's just for a few minutes, a few hours or the whole day. but it's the act of retying the knot of friendship which matters the most.

gelo is getting big now. and we are getting older too. haha. i just couldn't help but laugh when darcy said gelo doesn't want to go to school when it's raining and says " ayokong magskul. sabi man ni tita ceara wala daw klase kase basa ang blackboard" (i don't want to go to school. tita ceara said we don't have  classes cos the blackboard is wet)  . they still have to convince him much just to dress up and go to his classes. hahahahaha... oh gosh silly me! after hearing that, i talked to gelo and said "magpasok ka na sa skul kahit nagaulan ha. nagtalk na kami ni teacher. bumili na siya sa akin ng magic chalk para makawrite pa din sya sa blackboard kahit basa." (you go to school even though it's raining. i already talked to your teacher and she bought a magic chalk from me which writes even when the blackboard is wet.). hahaha.. you just have to lie sometimes. lol. i just realized, i really have some special powers when it comes to kids. i can convince them easily.  guess we are on the same wavelength. hahaha

Gelo Gelo Gelo Dear

after our reminiscing the past dinner, dada and angel had to leave us. so that leaves aldy, darcy, melai, gelo and me for a little bonding extension.

comfort rooms are called as such for a reason. lol

after our chitchat and picture taking underneath the mall's christmas tree, we decided to try the XRider Roller Coaster Ride. we were laughing all the time. i was actually laughing at aldygirl's reactions who as at the middle.. laughtrip, i should say. it was not because of the ride, but it was because of aldy hahaha.

 

such an unforgettable experience. super laughtrip. 

i really had fun from dinner til the end.see you all in december Mi Amegas! mwaaaaaaah!

Gino's Burger: A Must Try

i finally had my first taste of Gino's Boom Burgers...

my charcoal-grilled dinner on a saturday night.

it's a good thing that Mamma Maria's Pizzeria near Sychar Hotel now serves Gino's Burgers.

it's much accessible and comfortable as compared to the main branch which also closes really early.

  

here's my first ever charcoal-grilled Gino's Burger...

100% Pure Beef Burger Patty stuffed with  Bacon, Mushroom and Cheese

indeed, it is what they say it is.. Deliciously Juicy!

if you are into burgers and has that male appetite but wants something budget-friendly,

Gino's Burger is a MUST TRY.

indeed, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

BOODLE FIGHT

Boodle fight is a military style of eating where long tables are prepared and food are on top of the banana leaves. Viands and rice ready to eat using your bare hands, jugs of water are prepared on the side to wash hands before the "eating combat". With the signal to start the boodle fight, everyone aims for his/her position. -urban dictionary

Nothing beats a good time with good old friends and family. Our fair share of boodle fight on a Saturday Night. 

Double Post Birthday Celebration of Patty and Bong.

Eating Combat it is! 

 

Who would have thought the plan would push through that day?
I swear i really had fun. Laughtrip! Lol.
 See you soon. New year right???
