This Year...
But maybe someday will never happen if I will always say "someday".
So, today. I'm saying. I shall write my successful life story by the end of the year.
I shall write my goals, my dreams, my passion, my love, my life...
'Cause I've came to realise that all the successful people I know have goals, and they make and pave a way to reach and attain those goals, those dreams.
And their goal wasn't just to be married, or to be happy, or to be a millionaire.
They had a goal that was something more than that. Had a dream bigger than that. Had a passion more than money, more than work, more than food.
It has been long time since I've asked myself what I am passionate about.
It's been long since I've asked what I really want.
'Cause it's been long that I've been telling myself, "it shouldn't be me first, it should be them first".
Then because of that, I've totally forgotten to ask myself what I wanted --- and eventually found myself threading everyday --- groping.
Like I'm blind.
Like I know I'm happy but deep inside I know I could be happier --- and more free.
If I could think like a child again. 'Cause children don't have lids, they don't have limitations with their imaginations.
If I could try dreaming again. No. Not "if". But I will.
I'll imagine, dream, think with my heart. See where my passion is.
And I wish... For now, while I close my eyes and summon enough audacity to dream and dare make it a reality...
I wish I'll be able to meet my mentor... Soon. Or maybe sooner than I think.
xoxo

My Other Home
I've been blogging at "Blogger" for a few months now. At the same time, I've always been wondering what I'm gonna do with my multiply account as it's been stuck and rotting for a couple of months and I've never added a single picture or anything at my multiply site. Techinically, because I have no idea how to.
Then a lightbulb just lit and I found myself browsing and changing and adding and removing stuff on my multiply page.
As if I've always known how to do it! Amazing!
Anyhow, here's my new multiply site (http://the5thwindow.multiply.com/). And I even was able to cross-post my multiply blog to my blogger blog. Hah. The technology nowadays is so amazing, I'm getting so excited finding out new things through my unfathomable knowledge (pun intended).
Later on, I shall give an account on how my day with Yosh was at 9 waves yesterday...

Tell you more about it when I get back ;p

Claustrophobia

Why Oh Why?! Yes, Oh Yes!!! :)
3?!?! Just 3?!
I have just noticed that I wasn't able to write a lot about what's happening with me since the start of MAY.
Anyhow, I've been soooo busy chasing deadlines and filling out and filing out paperworks because there have been a couple of things that have been given to my hands that I now should take care of.
Anyhow, I have a little time right now. Only thing that I could say is that there was this someone (a Korean) who is offering me a tutorial job for his niece and nephew and I'll try meeting him later and see if there is any way that the offer is good - maybe I'll grab it. :)
Have a great weekend to all my readers. Cheers!

FOOD BLOGS (and more) at Mount Sea Resort (Tanza, Cavite)
Gosh the interiors of the resort (which is the one at the back that looks like a house), looks like interiors in a very nice hotel.
Apparently, it's not just the interiors (and exteriors as you can see) are the ones that are awesome... It's also the FOOD.
More than awesome.
This was my breakfast. Didn't eat that much because --- well --- trying to keep my tummy "intact". Hahaha, ya know what I mean... Of course, I had to wear my "pinakatago-tagong" (my most kept) swimsuit, that one which I last wore when I was in Galera sunbathing.
My breakfast at the resort was a feast of fried bangus (milkfish), tapa (fried beef) - although this tapa was VERY juicy and soft - I love this one! Then there's this creamy scrambled egg, and a small portion of almost oil-free fried rice. On the side was a small plate of papaya, which is one of my favorite fruits.
... This was my brekky ^_^
Then for my lunch... OWWW!!! A plate full of stir-fried vegetables (love this one, kulang lang sa alat - just lacks the salty taste), herbed-chicken (this one is goood!), fillet-o-fish (with a sauce I really don't like - makes the fish go sloppy, not crunchy - they could have separated the sauce), then the uber-yummy pork liempo (you know guys I don't eat pork too much but on this case - I ate the whole serving!)
A great day for me would compose of a good sun, warm water, and a gustatory food that one won't easily forget.
I had a great day under the sun- bathing myself till I melted.
I had a good swim and got to experience their adrenalin-rushing slide.
Had good food. (Yes, this is always a must)
AND had the hotel room all for myself. har de har har
*****
So there you have it. The summary of my well-lived eat-all-I-could day at Mount Sea.
P.S. There's this AM snack that was served to us but I wasn't able to take a pic. All the same, it was good. :D
Omuraisu - Quiche's Home-made Version
I've always loved Japanese food, and yesterday I thought of the word Omu-rice and told myself, maybe I could try cooking it myself.
I know for a fact that Japanese food is kind of hard to make because of one's need for detail and it's necessity for fresh, and unique, ingredients.
However, when I saw the ingredients of omuraisu, they're easy to get and the recipe itself was easy to prepare, they are not so veggie-packed tho...
But my family loooooved it.
See the pics?! Yummy!!!
And this is the Omuraisu aftermath - *big grin* ;p
How did I make my Omuraisu?
Ingredients:
2 tbsp butter
1/2 kilo de-boned chicken, cut into small pieces
1 small can Libby's sausages
3-4 tbsp tomato ketchup
salt to taste
For the egg:
1 1/2 tbsp butter (i like the egg buttery)
3 pcs eggs
salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions:
1. Melt butter in the pan.
2. Saute/fry (prituhin) the cubed chicken, stir fry continuously)
3. When the chicken is cooked (looks brown on some sides due to stir fying), add the sausages.
4. When the sausages are already cooked, put the rice as well (i really don't know the "cooking wording" but I'm pretty much sure you know what I'm talking about ^_^)
5. Stir fry the rice with the chicken and sausages.
6. When the rice is fried, add the ketchup, and maybe depending upon your taste, shed some salt. Stir fry it again - we don't want sloppy rice, we want the ketchup flavoring the rice, not sloppying it. :)
7. Once the ketchup has fully covered the rice. Transfer it to a bowl.
Cooking the egg (this will be put on top of the rice):
1. Beat the 3 eggs, add salt and pepper. (I like this particular egg in my omuraisu sort of peppery, so i put a little more than usual amount of pepper)
2. Melt the butter.
3. Pour the egg mixture on the pan and make an omelette that is slightly runny in the middle.
4. As soon as it's done, top the omelette onto the rice. You may somehow nicely and carefully cut the omelette in the middle.
5. Put some ketchup on a spoon, then make a zigzag sort of "design" on top of the eggs. ^_^
Eat Well!

A Little Sorry Helps
*************************************************************************************
Okay, now I absolutely don't remember what we fought about and I guess the title just gave me a hint that all I expected from him (and for anybody else in particular) is for a little apology.
Opposite to what one song said, it's not too late to apologise.

Time Management Really Works
And yes, time management works for me - really.
