Borrowed Time

Yes, we all live in a borrowed time. No one can really be sure where he will be heading to at the end of the road for the future is very uncertain. There are no guarantees, no securities. I believe that only God knows what's instore for us and for this realization, I decided to live every moment meaningfully. I am happy eventhough life is just a borrowed time, God has sent me someone who would walk with me, who would be my protector and would never let me be alone.

In my ocassonial bouts with sadness, I am envelope with so much fear on what's ahead of me, with my hun, with my family and friends. But this kind of thinking is never healthy. I am so determine with just living life with much appreciation. To rediscover the beauty of the things around me. To treasure every moments with my love ones. To LAUGH OFTEN, SHOUT MY HEART'S DESIRE and just BE HAPPY.

LOVE YOUR LIFE. MAKE IT WORTH LIVING. :)

Wonderful day

I just had a wonderful night should I say, instead of day (coz i work in a gy shift). I came to work and went home with my hubby. It's been a while. I just miss driving to work and back home with him. Still GY is not a very nice sked for us, but it buy us more time to be together.

Before heading home, we decided to eat breakfast at Margaritaville. We had SOS (it's his fave), a hashbrown for me and two hot mugs of Swiss Miss hot chocolate. It was an ultimate american breakfast which we both enjoyed. *SOS is best served at Margaritaville instead of Rumpa. So for SOS lovers, go and visit margaritaville.

Upon arriving home, we decided to chill for a while instead of hitting the bed directly to get our much deserve sleep. We both decided to go online, I often tease him on who gets to connect first since my laptop is faster than his. Nyehehehe. Of course, daddy being a workaholic (really he is and he keeps on denying it) immediately signed on his business account to do some work and attend to his numerous business e-mails while i directly loaded up Youtube to watch the previous night's episode of Lobo. He can't really see and hear what I was watching since I had my headphones. till... DARN! I was crying my heart out just watching the night's episode. It breaks my heart to see Lyka and Nessa's scene and much more to see Papa Piolo begging Lyka to look at him. It made me feel so sad till I almost had hiccups due to heavy crying. Then daddy saw my tears... he told me not to watch Lobo anymore if it makes me sad. You see, he doesn't want to see me crying because even if its just a scene, I take it so seriously that I even sleep afterwards with a heavy heart.

Hay Lobo! Can't wait for Monday night's episode. Hehehe

Now since I am still on the SOS hype, allow me to share an uncomplicated recipe of SOS.

* SOS (an army's favorite)

What you need:
1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cube beef bouillon
3 tsbp butter
salt to taste
pinch of ground black pepper
2 cups milk
1/3 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Toasted breads

Brown beef in butter on a large skillet over midium high heat. Stir in flour, bouillon, salt and pepper. Saute for about 5 minutes until the flour is absorbed. Gradually stir in milk until thick and bubbly. Add Worcestershire. Allow all to simmer. Spoon it over your toasted bread and top with a sunny side up egg (optional). Guaranteed a hit for meat lovers and heavy breakfast eaters.

Since we are talking about meat, let me share a photo of grilled burgers we had in Boracay

Pressures in life

I had such a bad day. A very demanding client was bugging me non stop. I can't even think, I can't focus on work because he keeps on bombarding me with messages regarding his varying requests. Do I really need this kind of pressure in my life? Yes, I know... money wise its good, I really felt bad having to forgo a possible good project but I know my limits. Daddy told me that I need to learn when to say NO and STOP. I still feel so gloomy....On top of this, I just declined an interview this afternoon. It was such a short notice that I didn't even have the time to prepare and travel. I was so passed out in our bed when I received that call, I can't barely remember what I just said to the girl who called me. Would I still have a second chance?

It made me reflect about my own personal bout with pressures in my life. Hubby fondly calls me pressure and worry. He said that my name should be change to these two words. I think pressure is inevitable. For all of us specially professional people trying to make a living, there's always bills to pay. There's also pressure at work. There's something about work that would even make you go against what your heart dictates you to do, makes you almost compromise your beliefs just so to satisfy the whims of your boss. But is this what you want? Is this what your heart dictates you to do? All these kinds of pressure are so agonizing.

Establish balance in your life. Meditate. Talk to your inner self. Ask God for assistance. Pray hard. Forgo destructive thinking which won't do you any good, live free. Value life more.

When its time to let go, just let go. Free yourself from pressures. Seek something that would make you happy and not entirely worthless and empty inside. Be happy, okay?

Ghostly encounter

Hmmm how do I start... just 30 mins ago, I was with gara in the gym. She was playing PSP while I was using the threadmill. Lights in the gym were dim since not all were turned on. While using the threadmill, I can actually see my shadow infront of me due to the poor lighting. Then suddenly, I saw a second shadow at my back. I thought it was Gara, I look back and saw her seated and still playing. I caught a glimpse of the shadow in white and her black hair. That's it.

Mami Wheng, beware when you sleep at the gym. According to Leny, there is a mother and child inhabiting the place. boooohhhhhhh. You know im watching...

Oh and let me add this, ate lhen felt someone was scratching her leg (am I righ, ate lhen)

Let's go organic

In this new age, advanced beauty regimen is the IN thing. Every beauty institute comes out with anti aging products, whitening products or anything that can smoothen the skin and would make you look close to perfect. For me, it's what you call vainness with a cause.

I am guilty of being vain at times but not the irritating vainness. I can sometimes tolerate it and sometimes not. I would never think twice of trying out new products which I think would work on me. Too bad, I have such sensitive skin that I can't really commit to the regimen much as I want too. Even Shiseido's facial wash irritates my skin. So for now, I just want to go organic. Atleast it is cheaper and everyone can try it at the comfort of their own home.

Since I started to work on the nightshift, it gave me more freedom to spend longer time in the bathroom, in our room and just put on different creams on my face and hair. I was unable to do this before, hubby gets piss off with the scent of different creams.

Now, allow me to share my uncomplicated yet time consuming beauty au naturel regimen.

Before sleeping, I make sure that I have already showered, brushed my teeth and changed into my sleepwear. Prior to hitting the bed, I make sure that my face was cleansed with my very own *green tea toner and my hair glazed perfectly with VCO. I also use green tea for my **last wash before heading off to work.

So you see, primping yourself is not all that costly. Just be wise and embrace tbe beauty of organic treatments.

* What you need for the Green Tea toner

1 mug of hot water

2 green tea bags

1 crushed Vitamin C tablet- I prefer using the Vitamin C tablet with Rosehip 500 mg

To do:

1. Steep your 2 green tea bags for about an hour

2. add a crushed (powdered) Vit C tablet to your hot green tea (optional)

3. Stir

4. Chill in the refrigerator

5. Apply on your face and neck using a cotton or spray it directly to your face and neck. Whichever you prefer

You will notice change in your skin texture after awhile. Your skin becomes supple.

** Green Tea last wash after bathing

normally, I would reuse the tea bag I have previously steeped. I cut open the teabags and pour boiling water on a mug. Strain it using a sieve and tranfer on our "tabo". Let it cool and add some more water. Then wash your face and body with it. You will notice that your skin will lighten after continuous usage.

*** For softer hair

I normally wax my hair with Virgin Coconut Oil and leave it there while I sleep. Afterwards, wash normally with shampoo and conditioner

-for a weekly use, I mix 1/4 c honey and 1/4 c extra virgin olive oil. Cover with shower cap and leave it for about an hour. Then rinse.

****for a rosy skin... use fresh tomatoes

What to do:

Cut a tomato into half and gently rub on your face. Let it stay for 15 mins then rinse with your preferred facial cleanser. Tomatoes work wonder. They can make our skin whiter, smoother and rosier. It is best for treating pimple marks and blackheads.

Other organic beauty regimen will be posted soon. Hope it helps. :)

Let's talk about pasta, pansit, rice noodles and so on...

I suddenly felt the urge to blog about different pastas upon receiving an email from gara detailing the process in making your own pesto sauce. I love pesto, actually, I think I love all the possible sauces that can be mix with pasta.

I can't remember when my love for pasta started. All I know is I can eat a pasta with a plain sauce, without its trimmings.

My favorites include:

1. Sbarro's spinach lasagna and Baked Ziti - Sbarro's signature tomato sauce is to die for, though their white sauce is also good but you can never go wrong with their plain tomato Sauce. You can actually savor the goodness of their secret herbs and spices topped with Romano cheese. Yummy!

2. C Italian's Fettucine with Alfredo Sauce- it was the best alfredo sauce I have tasted.

3. Pizza Hut's pasta- If you are looking for a cheap treat which won't sacrifice good taste, you can head to Pizza hut. They make good fettucine with alfredo sauce and spaghetti bolognese. You can actually order a big serving of Spaghetti Bolognese for just a hundred bucks.

4. Siam House's Pad Thai: I can rave about their Pad Thai all night long. Whenever I am sad and don't have the appetite to eat, hubby would suggest that we go to Siam House to get my fix of Pad Thai. And just like magic, everything turns out fine. Their pad thai is so rich and spicy. Maybe dry for others but just enough for me. I love it with lots of peanuts, shrimp plus extra spicy sauce.

5. Pasta Aligue of Northern Brew- loaded with cholesterol but guaranteed to be a good choice when dining.

Meatballs Spaghetti of Sbarro


Lets talk about different Pancit this time. Pancit or pansit (and my friends and I call it chinese, hehehe) is define in Wikipedia as a stir fried noodle dish common in the Philippines (I strongly agree!), though it has a chinese origin. The word pancit was derived from the Hokkien word pian i sit.

The most famous pancit would have to be the Pancit Guisado. This pansit is a staple meal in our dining table whenever there is a celebration. My mom cooks mean pansit. They would even hire her to cook pansit whenever there's a celebration within our clan (mostly every birthdays)

Other varities of pansit are:

1. Pancit Palabok/Luglog (in Pampanga) - I love Susie's palabok

2. Pancit Malabon- its the marinara version of pansit palabok hehehe

3. Pancit Habhab- from Lucban Quezon, this i want to try.

4. Pancit Molo- there's actually no pansit here. Just clear chicken broth with wontons. Hubby's aunt in Manila cooks the best Pancit Molo. This is a good substitute for chicken soup.

5. Batchoy- I don't like this. Innards doesn't appeal to me.

6. Pancit Canton-probably the most famous pansit which with its instant pancit canton counterpart.

7. Pancit Lomi- I dont have the guts to eat this particular pansit. I am just so scared. It looks like... nevermind. Create your own imagination.

8. Pancit Sotanghon-made of cellophane noodles.


Pancit Palabok


Other Varieties of Pancit


I have also included a recipe of the Pancit molo. This is courtesy of Puto Pinoy blog.

Ingredients:

2 pcs crushed garlic
1/4 kg ground pork
1 pc chicken breast
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 medium-sized onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic head, crushed and fried
1 tbsp ginger, cut into strips
spring onions, cut into rings
3 pcs chicken cubes
1 liter water
black pepper for seasoning
cooking oil
fish sauce to taste


Utensils:

cauldron
wooden spoon or ladle
aluminum bowl
stove


Procedure:

Put all the ingredients (ground pork, onions and 1 tbsp of fish sauce) together in an aluminum bowl.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly with the help of a wooden spoon. The mixed ingredients will serve as fillings of the molo wrapper.

Put a spoonful of the filling into each piece of molo wrapper. Make as many as 20 pieces of wrapped molo. Set them aside while you prepare the broth for the pansit molo.

Heat a little amount of cooking oil in a pan and saute garlic, ginger and onions. Stir the ingredients well.

Next, add the remaining filling. Stir ingredients again.

Pour one liter of water slowly into the sauteed ingredients. Stir ingredients well and then cover the pan. Let boil fpr 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, put the wrapped molo one by one into the broth. Do this carefully so that the wrapped molo will not stick together. Season broth with black pepper.

Add spring onions and fried garlic to the broth. Stir lightly. Reduce heat once the pieces of wrapped molo are fully immersed into the broth.

Makes 8-10 servings.

Pancit Molo


Before closing my posting for tonight, I would like to add my don'ts when blogging. Dont/never blog about work, your leaders, or your colleagues, specially if your contacts are mostly from your company, that is if you dont want to get in trouble. Guys, get real. It is the age where everything is ruled by the Internet. Anyone can have access to your blog, so be safe than sorry.

Behind the scenes of lobo

You know u like this.....







Photos below were grabbed from sixthfiddler. Thanks sis :)

Gara hates her hahaha


Bigtime Angel


Slifi u???

For today

I've got such a tiring day today. Hubby and I went to Car World and met up with my brother's GF. They have a nice office and a show room. I think Levy Laus is doing a wonderful job in running his businesses, BMW and Mitsubishi Pampanga, to name a few. Btw, he is also the current president of the Clark Development Corporation. I remember meeting him 8 yrs ago when I was shortly employed in his company till i resigned after a day, make it half day. :P Afterwards, my brother came to pick her up for a lunch out. We on the other hand went directly to SM Pampanga and had pizza for lunch. Of course, whenever we have the chance to drop by at SM Pampanga, we make sure to visit Starbucks. I am such a huge fan of Iced Green Tea.

By 2pm, we dropped by at Kuya Bobot's house to hand over our simple gift for Tian Tian. I was so happy to see the kid, he chatted with us right away when he saw us. After our visit at kuya's place, we went to see a doctor in AMC for my check up. Oh but before that since she arrived only after about 2 hours, hubby asked me to accompany him at GIBS. It is actually a motorcycle store where they sell motorcycle gears, motorcycle parts and has a show room. You'll get to see these big nice bikes. GIBS is a famous shop for big bike fanatics.

I have added our bike collection below:

Hubby's new yellow big bike




Bea, our dirt bike which was just sold today. :( Hubby was really sad when he found out yesterday that Bea has an immediate buyer. He wasn't prepared to let go of Bea yet. Poor him. I am sad as well because I love that dirt bike for I get to ride on it every weekends.(on the background is FIL's sports car)



We cant locate FIL's bike picture on our online albums. I just posted a similar photo of his bike which i got from the net





......and a white pinkish moped named Ricky, not in the picture though. Haha I am still deciding on posting the video of ricky with me driving it. It was so hilarious.

Ciao for now

Let's talk about Jason, AGAIN!

I can't help myself from posting tonight. I need to blog. I am just so excited to see Jason Castro's picture on our forum. I can't get enough of him and I know most of American Idol's followers feel the same. Not to mention my chummies who adore him too.

Hmmm Jason Jason Jason, what can I say about him? He is the dread-headed finalist of the American Idol Season 7. I wasn't paying much attention during the early weeks of AI, but my friend Karla mentioned that Jason is her bet. Till I focus on this guy week after week. I was extremely amazed with his charisma and connection to the audience. This is the first time that I had a real bet for an AI finalist. I previously prefer David Archuleta but now, it's just Jason. Jason's PI fans club, anyone?

He was never impolite, never answers back even when given cheezy comments. He can get away with it with his lovely smile. For anyone who gets to catch a glimpse of this guy in person, I just don't know if they will be tongue tied like Paula Abdul. She seems to forget to deliver her comments when Jason stares back at her. Those lovely warm blue eyes. Eyes that covets attention.... Same eyes with John Travolta (not to mention the olsen twins) and of course our local heartthrob, Papa Piolo Pascual.

Accourding to different internet postings, he is often seen with Ramielle Malubay. She maybe a pinoy pride but I don't like them together. hehehe. Sorry.

Did you know that it's Jason's 21st bday on March 25? (got it from his day dreaming site)

Bags Galore

I think every girl's must have is a bag that would accentuate her style more. I for one gets to enjoy a fashion mag specially when they feature luxury bags and shoes. But let's talk about bags today. You would often see celebrities carrying their arm candies proudly-a Vuitton. Who would not want to have one. If I can only afford an authentic one, I'd be a proud owner by now. I specially prefer their Classic Monogram Canvas than the Monogram Multicolore and Damier Canvas.

Other than celebrities, if you see someone toting an authentic Vuitton, they would either be a socialiate who can really afford it or someone who has relatives in Europe- UK, Italy and Paris mostly. This line is a usual property of Europeans, that I've noticed. I haven't seen someone I know coming from UK who doesn't own several pieces of Louis Vuitton.
My dream bags:

Speedy 40 that cost about 30k php


Pegase Briefcase that would probably look good on me with my laptop inside, about 50K php




Travel in style with your Keep All 50 with strap for 50k php, an Alzer 80 for a whopping 250K php and a Beauty Case with Mirror at 135K php













I on the other hand is a proud owner of 4 classic and authentic Coach bags. I dont really use them because they are not the ones that I can bring around at work since they are small and girlish. But I like them.

My posessions include the classic/legacy styles. I have a classic Legacy Zip, a station bag and the other two, Im not really sure about their style name. They cost around 10K-15K in php or even more for their travel bags.

Coach bags may not be as expensive as Vuitton but already expensive for me (a regular Philippine worker, hahaha-do i sound bitter?) and are all kept in mint condition. They were all presents that I got on special ocassions. :) I have a cousin who owns loads of this stuff and a big coach fan.

Chasing my dreams

Though I have already decided for blog name, my hubby still keeps on suggesting a catchy name for my blog. Just this afternoon, he was suggesting that I name it Chasing my dreams. I already told him that I have decided on SupahMeeh because I can't really promise that I will be writing often about my dreams. But for today, let's talk about my dreams. Daddy, this particular post is dedicated to you.

I have a lot of dreams, some are impossible, some are just so easy and some were already realized. A good example of a fulfilled dream is finding someone who would love me unconditionally. I am now a proud wife of the most caring, loving, handsome and thoughtful guy on earth. I can clearly recall how he courted me, hehehehe too personal to share it here but my close friends know about it.

Let's talk about my lifelong dreams:

1. I wanted to be known as an International Karate Athlete. I first dreamed of becoming one when I saw Bea Lucero winning a bronze medal in 1992 Olympics. I was never close to realizing it, though I've played Karate and I loved it till i got so busy in college and didn't have much time to squeeze it in my sked.

2. I wanted to be a good driver and be able to drive a big truck. But hubby would not allow me yet to drive on my own. :( Only casual driving is permitted. Its not yet late to realize it, right?

3. I want to own a business. I still don't know what kind of business though.

4. I want us (me and hubby) to have our very own dream house. We are now a proud owner of a decent lot in Punta Verde, so I think having our dream house can be attain soon (hope so!).

5. I want to travel and travel. Whenever time permits (and if budget is not tight), hubby and I love to visit different places. Hubby said, we will visit US someday..... so you see, I think someday is not really a bad word. It just gives me more hope.

6. I want us to have a baby. We don't talk about it before since we just want to enjoy each other's company first and focus on just us but being married won't be complete without a child, right? We are not yet a hopeless case since we started to talk about it just this year. We still think that God will give it to us in His own sweet time.

7. And the list goes on and on...

Have I done anything to realize all my dreams? Well yeah... kinda.. but I think I haven't work hard enough to reach them. I've read once that for dreams to come true, you must stop chasing them. And why not???? For me, its more like a butterfly or LOVE, when you chase it, it eludes you. But when you stop chasing, it voluntarily comes to you. They said we should work hard enough to attain something but the bad side of it is that we forget to live, we struggle to achieve it, we dont enjoy anymore. We don't enjoy the scenery on a detour. Would you be happy fulfilling all these dreams knowing you lost track of everything because you became desperate in chasing your goal? You focus on it so much. Am I making any sense here? I hope I do. hahaha.

Nuff of this gibberish. Lets talk about these two cuties who are celebrating their birthday today.

The younger one first, he is my beloved godchild. Very playful and yet so timid. He calls me Tita Ninang and calls hubby Tito Daddy. He is just so sweet and I think he is a photographer in the making. I haven't seen him recently but I know I will see him soon. His dad (my kuya) keeps on pressuring me to give Tian tian a playmate, and he will have it. Hahaha thanks to his mom and dad coz he will be having a baby brother/sister really soon.

My friend this time, she is Gara. Been my best bud for almost 9 years now. She is a batchmate at work and more than that. She is a sister I never had. She was even my maid of honor. We shared hellavalota secrets. I think she knows me a lot. She knows what runs in my mind. I hope to see her walk down the aisle soon. I bet she'll be the loveliest bride of the year. No offense to our other friends, not unless they will all be married on the same year. Of course they will have their own highlights. I just hope its gara this year. I want us to bond just how we bonded when I was planning on my wedding. Late nights of giveaway makings, planning and planning and more planning. It's just so exciting. You know that you'll have my full attention and support when that time comes.

So for both of you, a very Happy Birthday. I feel so blessed for being a part of your lives. Love yah both.

Word for the day

Obnoxious


1. Very annoying or objectionable; offensive or odious: "I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution" Ulysses S. Grant.

2. Archaic Exposed to harm, injury, or evil: "The town ... now lies obnoxious to its foes" John Bunyan.

I first encountered this word when I was in high school. It was highly used by my friend who happens to be a new comer then. She came from California. She loves to use this word, till I was able to adapt it as well. We both love writing poems at the age of 13 (Sophomore year) and would often write about our angst, "obnoxious and conceited" guys in school, girls we hated and those we think that are so uncool but never about profanity. I can clearly recall now when my love of writing started.


Now in the modern world (whoaaa, its as if I came from a pre historic era), this word is oftenly uttered by Simon Cowell, one of American Idol's judge whenever he is pissed off. Sissy he may sound but I find his reasoning logical. I first heard him say it to Chikizie, which was meant in bad light and recently, he told Jason Castro that he likes him not only because he is charming and that he is not obnoxious. Yipee, way to go Jason!

Since I can no longer watch American Idol live, I just take a peek of the show in You tube. Jason may sound funny on his rendition of Michelle of beatles but I really really love it. This dude is a star in the making. I love him. Though I think he looks like the Olsen twins.

Nyahahaha! See for yourself-same doe eyes and the way they twist their lips into a thin smile :)




I thought Michelle was an English song, turns out to be French. See lyrics below:


Michelle by Beatles

Michelle, ma belle, these are words that go together well, my Michelle Michelle, ma belle, sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say until I find a way I will say the only words I know that you understand.


Michelle, ma belle, sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble


I need to, I need to, I need to, I need to make you see oh what you mean to me until I do I'm hoping you will know what I mean


I love you!


I want you, I want you, I want you, I think you know by now I'll get to you somehow until I do I'm telling you so you'll understand


Michelle, ma belle sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble I will say the only words I know that you'll understand, my Michelle


So much of my blubbermouthing for tonight. I will see you all soon.

Ishkeyri.....

Let me share something kinda eerie that has been happening to me for about a week. I've been having this strange feeling of being strangled. It happens every 1 am onwards. I feel that I am always running out of air, I would then just walk around and take a deep breath in between. Just last night, I told my friend that I keep on having this feeling that someone/something is trying to choke me. She said that I need to offer a prayer which I did. I've come to the decision that I will also try to trade place with my seatmate. Just to see if everything would be okay.

I've been keeping tab of time, 1 am is nearing and I was observing, till I totally lost track of it. I've noticed that its already 1:22 am, no choking sensation or whatsover. What can u say about that??? Isn't spooky?

I have a history of ghostly encounter in the night shift years ago. There would be times that someone would pass by and hold my hair, it will sometimes pull it and when I look back, all I see is a fading shadow of a girl in white. There was even this incident when my brush was missing, a big roller brush take note. Then hours would pass by, I would just feel a pricking sensation on my butt, to see that I've been sitting on my brush.... miraculously. Other encounters happened, I can't barely keep tab. Till I finally transferred to the morning shift and stayed there for 4 yrs. Everything was perfect. No eerie events. And now that I am back in GY, has that mysterious being resurfaced? I've heard few days ago that there's an entity that has been touching hairs, and they happen to be located near my pod. geezzzzz poltergeist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a lighter note. I was surfing on different products of ilog maria that I am planning to purchase online. I read this on our forum and it was highly recommended. They have great products that can boost your immune system.

Currently, I am devotee of honey. I mix one spoonful of it in my water. I am loving the ritual and hope that it would really help me fight any possible sickness brought about by my lack of sleep. For honey users, I say Sue Bee is the best.




Below are the benefits of honey:

* When eaten daily, pure honey will reduce your body's susceptibility to infections.

* Many doctors recommend equal parts of honey, lemon and whiskey as an extremely effective cough syrup.

* Because of honey's fructose content, many claim it is a cure for a hangover.

* Sore throats-- Swallowing a teaspoon of honey may soothe a sore throat or cough.* Boost your daily supply of antioxidants by eating honey.

* If you're feeling tired and need a boost of energy, stir a spoonful of honey into a glass of water or add honey and fresh fruit to yogurt for a power-packed snack!

* Honey is a great source of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and pantothenic acid.

Feeling Good!

Hi! I am currently on my work station trying to make a living. hehehe. The truth is, I've been seating in my pod for almost an hour and keeps on contemplating on what to do next. Gosh, seems like i m suffering from mid life crisis. Could it be considered as such at my age? Hmmmm, anywhoo, I had only about 3 hours of sleep, but I still feel great. I just dont know later tonight if it will still be the same. I brought with me my PSP to keep me company all throughout the evening. I kinda feel nostalgic, everything that has happened to me in my current company keeps on flashing back. Is this a sign??? am I about to quit for good? I feel some fluttering in my stomach. Not the kind of flutters that you feel when you are in love. Its more of a flutter that slowly crawls up urchest and gives u shivers and makes u want to cry. ohhhh darn! im feeling sad now. erase erase, as early as now, I need to punch this fluttering in my stomach. Kill it the moment it manifests its presence.

This afternoon while trying to catch or pretend to sleep, I downloaded 2 epi of gossip girl. Afterwards, I turned off my DSL so mom would not suspect that I am still awake. I took my laptop in my brother's bed (trying to catch an afternoon siesta since its colder in his room) and watched the show. I am really so hook with this show now. I love B and S. How I wish that I have the same biatch that I can do fun stuffs with and someone whom I can fight with as well. hahaha, these two are both impossible and yet adorable. Love yah B and S. Other than being hook with gossip girl, I am so hook with Brian gorell's blog as well. I know a lot of these personalities (not in person) he had mentioned since I always see them in the socialite section of every newspapers and magazines. You really need to read the blog.

I'm back!

I am currently watching Lobo while surfing and chatting with my bestest bud updating her with the show. I just feel so giddy for iv been anticipating this particular scene from the show. Lyka is finally morphing into a wolf! for fanatics, you may want to watch the movie Blood and Chocolate. Click here for the synopsis and some good spoilers. Blood and Chocolate (2007) - Synopsis.

You know that yummy latino guy in Unfaithful, he happens to be the leader of the stylish wolves in the movie BC. Here's a cover photo:




See, (non existent reader), I've mentioned about the shake that I planned to make this morning. i did it! it was heaven for me but yucky for my brother who tasted it. I think it was a success, my very own shake, Ace's shake (inspired by Lyka's shake). It has one whole cucumber in it, a whole carrot and half apple. No sugar. No guilty feeling here. I also had a weird lunch today, my shake and my steamed kamote ala gretch. :)
My shake:







A great but busy morning!

I am logging in today thinking of what to doodle on my reviews for another site. Hmmm seems like I am having a writer's block. I am running out of words and ideas to share. I still dont know about stuffs about blogging other than writing. Later if I finish my deadline, I will be researching more about blogging and having networks.

Other than writing today, since it is my day off, I am planning on making my own shake. I just bought cucumber, carrots and apples to use for my shake. I so love carrot shake but could never take a carrot juice which tasted like bland tomato paste. So I'll customize one for myself instead. After that, I will probably work out and then prepare dinner for my lovey dovey.

Last night, we attended mass, it was Palm Sunday. Mass was about to end when I suddenly felt a stabbing pain in my stomach. It was so horrible. I wanted to puke, I felt cold and greatly nauseated. We went home then and it lasted for another 2 hours. I've been having this strange "illness" since i was transferred to the graveyard shift. You see, I have a very weak immune system and graveyard is not really for me. I am still finding ways on how I can get a nicer shift. Oh please God, help me find a way. I just dont want to resign. Yucky it may sound but, I kinda love my job.... my little conscience is making a side comment, " You don't love ur job. You are just used to complancency". Hell yeah, my conscience was right. I think I am really complacent. I had this job for over 8 yrs now and I've gain a lot of friends whom I cannot turn my back on right away. Not to mention that it pays well. hmmmm what to do what to do?????? Hope by the end of the week I'll learn how to beautify this blog.

I'll try to post a picture for sample. I still dont know how to post a picture for the about me section. see yah, be back if i have something to blab about.

Eeeeek

Geez! I just viewed my very first posting and I dont even know how to post a link properly. No need to fret yet, right???

A new beginning

It feels strange having to blog again. I've been thinking since last night whether I'll be creating one or not. You see, I use to have a journal where I doodle my short stories, long stories and poems but since I've been been slacking for so long------- it just disappeared in cyber space. So sad since I dont have any back ups. I need to move on though, I've created a new journal but that's for my work. I've learn to back up using it, my flashdisk and my laptop.

Okay, moving on... I ran out of any ideas for a catchy name. I even thought of using a small phrase but still, i find it too boring and long. So i just opted for SupahMeeh. I dont know much about blogging though I've been reading several blogs for so long. I dont know the policies, the linking of different blogs to your blogs, so reader, bear with me while I just bubble here. I dont even know when would I have my own viewers. sigh...

Too much of that, I want to start with a good vibe. I've been reading marie claire this morning when I woke up(just 3 hours of sleep) it was a back issue which caught my attention. The cover story reads " Kill yourself of your family will kill you", Coincidently with Ruffa Gutierrez on the cover. You see, the story is about the so called " honor killings" and "honor suicides". This has been going on for so long in Turkey. If a girl in the family, whether it be a daughter or a wife, and they bring disgrace to the family name (sometimes as silly as exchanging phone calls with the opposite sex of whom you are attracted to) they would pressure you to kill yourself and if you don't they would have to kill you instead. That's too evil! Click on the link for a related story http://articles.news.aol.com/news/_a/how-to-avoid-honor-killing-in-turkey/20060716085509990006. my heart goes to these women who had to die having the wrong thought of bringing shame to their family. Let's move on, its just so depressing. I just said I wanted to start with a good vibe and yet I just shared a horrible story!

About me this time. I am a wife, no children yet and loves to read a lot and write. I used to draw really good(being a sining member in college) but i dont draw anymore I can do so if i want to, been an athlete who loves to workout but now, I just sit and read. hahahaha I would like to know more about blogging, just hope that I would have enough time to squeeze in learning it. I've been too tired this past week, and I don't know when I can recover totally.

So you see, you'll hear more from me... i'll keep you all posted
