Scam/Spam

Spam mails seem to get more aggressive these days.  If I were to believe even half of the mails I get, let’s see, (so far) I would have been the recipient of:  gift certificates worth $500 each from Target, Old Navy, and Victoria’s Secret; a TomTom gps device; and a MacBook Air.  Kaso, I’m a firm [...]

Bak 2 d Pilipins

Bak 2 d Pilipins na naman ang drama ko.  Maiiwan ko na naman si B dito.  ‘Nyemas.  D bale, at least magbabakasyon din siya in a few months so makakasama ko rin siya dun. 
Makakakain uli kami ng sariwang isda (pano puro frozen delight dito!).  Sari-saring gulay…ewan, iba talaga lasa ng gulay sa’tin eh…mas malinamnam.  Saka [...]

Diskarteng Tamad: Tinolang Manok

So nagluto ako ng tinola kamakailan lang, at naalala ko baka gusto rin nung nag-iisa kong parokyana sa Europe ng tamad version nito.  So eto: 
chicken (in this instance, puro legs ang ginamit ko)
chicken bouillon (dahil sobrang laki ng mga manok dito, pero wala naman ganong lasa)
ginger
patis (unless asin person ka, so bahala ka [...]

NY Giants vs NE Patriots at the SuperBowl XLII

And we’re off to Arizona for the 42nd SuperBowl!!!  Hindi kami ni B, si Eli lang and his Giants.  Yehey!!!  Wawa naman si bebi ko, nanlumo nung nawala ang bola sa Packers niya…  I must admit it would’ve been interesting to watch Brett Favre and Tom Brady slug it out – both have figured in [...]

NFL Sunday

Guess I better be up and about by 1400 hrs on Sunday…. yeah, that will happen….
First, the Chargers vs the Patriots, which most say is a foregone conclusion…ewan LT, kinakabahan ka pa ba?   Then it’s my other bf, Eli Manning and the Giants vs B’s favourite Brett Favre and his Packers.  [...]

Mattress Stress

Every single, freakin’ day, B and I complain about our backs.  There is a pretty good reason why our mattress is muy barato.  It may not be lumpy but it sure does not give us a good night’s rest!  Do you know how important a good night’s sleep is to your body???  Although for people [...]

Pissed Off Bigtime

Oh I’m sorry….was that Peyton Manning out in the field?  Really?  Looked like some poser to me.  That couldn’t have been last year’s Super Bowl MVP in the field today, couldn’t it?  
NAKAKAINIS!!!  Ilang beses na-fumble ang throws?  Ilang beses na malakas masyado?  At bakit nakakalapit ng husto ang Chargers sa kanya???  HA????!!!!
Obvious ba na [...]

The Balde List – Bakit “bucket” eh Pinoy ako?!

Things this Pinay wants to do before she leaves the US of A for good: (I know, I know, it’s still too early to be making this list.  I mean, we plan to stay here for a while.  Pero mabuti nang nakalista na isa-isa di ba?  Sorta like a guide.)

Go on a road trip with [...]

Cashmere Mafia

I’m sure it has been said a thousand times that the format of the show mirrors that of SATC. 
I think it’s bolder though, more edgy.
Then again, I could be suffering from a TV addict syndrome caused by the lack of (updated) TV shows on local channels – yep, still on rabbit ears (landlord won’t let us [...]

Eggs For Sale

It didn’t elicit much of a reaction from me, at first.  Why should it?  Men sold their sperm all the time.  But as the news droned on, it slowly dawned on me.  This is alarming news.  Women selling their eggs?!  Hundreds at a time, no less!  What about their health?  (They have to take these [...]

Pagod Luto

Ang sakit ng likod ko.  Halatang di nage-exercise.  
Magtrabaho ka ba naman sa kusina ng 7 oras eh?  Ewan kung di rin sumakit likod mo. 
(Nagsimula ata ako around 1400hrs tapos bandang alas nuwebe na nako natapos.)  At least maayos na nakapagparada ng 4 na ulam.  (Latino-style Nilagang Baka, Mixed Veggies, Beef Tapa, and Embutido).
Oki, tulog [...]

I Remember Yesterday

Just before I fell asleep last night, some long-forgotten, non-essential things started running through my mind.  (At kaya hirap ako makatulog, ine-entertain ko pa kasi!)  Anyway, I just thought I’d put pen to paper (in a manner of speaking) and jot them down. 

Haba-Haba Ballpen – first it was the frosted line, then they came up with the really [...]

Too Painful To Watch

It was a huge score difference.  The referees were clearly favouring the Rose Bowl veterans, and it was obvious the Trojans were supremely confident they could bring the house down – and they did.  Still, it was clear that both defensive teams are on equal footing – malakas talaga pareho.  Unfortunately, it was the Illini’s [...]
