OAWSP: Smile with no teeth

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on OAWSP: Smile with no teeth
Apparently, my husband thinks I\’m more beautiful when I smile without showing my teeth.  I don\’t know why he said it but I find it sweet in a way. He can see the beautiful in what I think is not. One of the many  reasons that I love him. 

What\’s Cooking?

I always say food brings people together, no matter where it takes place and what kind of food is being served. It is something universal that everyone enjoys and it can be a bonding experience for all. – Moonberry blog

I have to agree with Ms. Moonberry, FOOD = togetherness. I enjoy reading blogs, looking at photos, spending time with family and friends that involves eating and bonding.

Its just that, the past few days that I\’ve been working and cooking for my baon. Most of the time, I\’m alone. I don\’t mind eating alone it\’s just that, eating could be more fun if I eat together with my husband, my sibs, mom and dad. I miss them really. Especially now that I\’m experimenting on cooking and trying out healthier options with it. 

That is in preparation of being a hostess for our visitors, friends on my future address. As my husband told me that I should know more a lot about recipes which beforehand I\’m already trying to. Food mags, TLC southeast asia, pinterest, food blogs, get-togethers, old recipes and travels has been my source of inspiration for cooking. 

Clockwise from top left: Stir-fried lean pork, Lean pork with corn, Lean pork with broccoli, Adobong, manok (My fave!)
Pasta with tomatoes and oiled sardines, menudo with roasted peanuts, Menudo with roasted peanuts, and the Lean pork with broccoli again.

It\’s fun to experiment and its cheaper with home cooked meals mind you especially if you\’re with a good crowd. Priceless…
A Happy Sunday to Everyone

We Are The LEGO Kids

Categories Uncategorized5 Comments on We Are The LEGO Kids

One of our toys when we were young is the Lego Fabuland, the theme park set. I remember dad bought it somewhere from one of his trips abroad. Its one of our most memorable pasalubong because we\’re allowed to play with it at hindi pang display lang. 
Cast of Characters from Fabuland
I remember we are making up stories from the characters, doing other kind of lego structures and basically play with it. As time passed, since some of the pieces are small we lost them one by one. Though our younger brother was still able to use some of it its already incomplete. Those were the times when there\’s no internet, PC, iPod, Facebook or instagram. We have to rely on our imagination. We had fun, seriously. I just wish we had another set of Lego during that time. 
A few days ago, as I was browsing deals, one of the deals was a coach and entrance tickets to Legoland in Malaysia. I was like, I know I\’ve heard there are plans but I didn\’t know that the place is finishing and will be opening up on 15th September 2012. I wouldn\’t want to miss this. This time it\’s a larger than life reliving of memories because I\’ll be exploring the whole of Legoland soon. YEHEY!!!

According to my husband, Legoland caters mostly for kids though there are rides for adults to enjoy. But mostly it\’s a kiddy theme park. No problem with me though. I\’m excited… 🙂

Music Monday: Call Me Maybe

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on Music Monday: Call Me Maybe

I knew about this song when the Philippines\’ It Girls made their own lip-synced, free-style dance music video  of the song Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae. And it has spawned a lot video parody and whatever.From then on, I\’ve been hearing it everywhere!!!

But, I stumbled upon this…

It was as if only yesterday, that I had my pic taken with this A&F guy.

                                 

Snow White & The Huntsman

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on Snow White & The Huntsman

One of our post-gym activity is to go to the cinema and watch a movie (for reasons that the gym is steps away from the movie house, I\’m a member of this said movie house and price of tickets are cheaper before 4PM).
Looks like the Hollywood trend nowadays are retelling our good old fairy tales. May it be on TV (Once Upon A Time, Grimm) and previous movies (Alice in Wonderland, Mirror, Mirror, Beastly). For me, its a good thing because,it  veer us away from the usual. In a way, it still tickles our imagination. Though this fairy tale rehash is nothing new, as far as I can remember I had watched this kind of movies when I was kid. Well, who knows it may be longer than that.

Back to the movie…

  • The special effects, costumes and colors used to depict all the different scenarios in the movie are excellent. As expected.
  • Charlize Theron is ravishing as the Evil Queen. It seems like the story revolved around her. From how she was \’rescued\’ till death, everything is queen centered. The movie poster teaser speaks a lot about her role.
  • Kristen Stewart\’s acting is very much like when she\’s in Twilight. Except there\’s no exaggerated blinking of eyes and annoying stutters. I still can\’t tell whether she\’s scared, happy, angry, constipated or what.The only moment that she had was when she woke up after the KISS and declared was to reclaim the throne that is rightfully hers. I should say GIRL POWER!!! As for the rest of her acting assignment for this movie, FAIL.
  • Chris Hemsworth\’s manliness made him perfect for his role as Huntsman. Nah! I have a crush on him (BIASED!) Hihihi…He reminds me of my husband.
  • I just wish they showed some flashbacks of Huntsman\’s wife when he\’s looking at Snow. So as to indicate how he was attracted or how he fell in love. Good thing they showed flashbacks of Ravenna\’s past life, I understood all the anger, hatred and how she got her powers. But how come her powers didn\’t save their family from poverty even before their mom was taken away? 
  • William is the perfect distraction and middle man of the Huntsman and Snow\’s love story
  • The eight dwarfs delivered a light humor to the movie. My heart broke when this dwarf who likes Snow very much died for her. That left seven of them
  • Ravenna\’s brother Finn has a very distracting apple cut hair.
  • The mirror on the wall has evolved. From the usual glass mirror, it\’s made of gold and when summoned forms into a creepy-hooded-person-even-if-face-was-not-shown.
  • The TWIST or the unexpected moment was when William and Snow White are flirting on the snow when it turns out it was Ravenna. And then this thought came to my mind \”Kaya mo naman palang hanapin sa sarili mo ang dami mo pang inutusan, GAGA!\”
  • Good thing the love story stopped from the Snow and Huntsman kiss. If not it will be another typical fairytale ending.
  • Since this movie is from the producers of Alice in Wonderland, Snow White is another fairytale Messiah. She died and came back to life. Awakened to save her people from evil. To bring back prosperity from the fallen kingdom. Especially when the huge deer appeared from this huge tree, I felt it was quite biblical in a way that I can\’t explain. 
All in all the movie is not super awesome but not really lame. If the loopholes was not there, it would be a perfect adaptation.
RATING: 3/5

I\’m excited!!! Can\’t wait for payday.

The perks for being a member of NTUC.

In search of his destiny, a Young Man follows a wondrous red orb into a strange new world where several extraordinary characters will guide him on his Journey of Life.

Voyage de la Vie™ is a multi-million dollar theatrical spectacular featuring death defying and breathtaking acts. With an international cast from 19 countries and other guest artists, this is Singapore’s longest running show with over 400 performances to date.

P.S. I saw the fairy lady once at Coffee Bean at Resorts World (of course sans the costume). She\’s so tall (as in taller than me), slender and a red-head. So pretty.
