Skin

A friend of mine has been asking me of what I used before bedtime in my face! I was asked a few times already before and I told them already. Now, they asked me again because they thought I have another stuff I put on. I think I am just blessed to have a good skin. Some others aren’t. Thanks to my maternal side they have very nice skin! My Mom actually has a nice skin and although she used a few stuff but not the same as anyone else I know! Reminds me to check on this salicylic acid acne for a friend!

Holidays!

Holidays is around the corner. I have been hearing Christmas songs a lot now. And I really love it! Yesterday, when I turned on the engine of the car and listen to my fave radio station, the first thing that I heard was the song of Jose Marie Chan’s Christmas song! I still have a lot of things to do before that big month and I am starting to plan ahead because my little boy will turn 2 years old by December 3 and then a lot of parties and gatherings for sure! Not to mention, I will be a year older..sigh..;-)

Now, I’m off to check on this another life insurance rate that I came across!

Dentist Check Up

I have been planning for the longest time to go to my dentist for this months check up! And yet again, nothing happened! I can think of a lot of reasons why I still have to go there. But all those stuff are just some health problems relating to my boys and to me. Did I told you, I have this cough for over 2 months now? It’s sick! All I wanna do is just take it off because it’s really a hassle! Anyway, I will check this implant dentist Plano and see their packages for braces and stuff!

Restuarants

I’m craving for something spicy and hot! I might as well call my bro later and have a lunch at this Thai resto. I know, I have been talking about losing weight and here I am again thinking of where to dine out! haha Seriously, just one of the many reasons why I like it here is the food and the very cheaper stuff compared when we were in JP! Anyway, I’m just babbling! I’m actually looking for life insurance rates for the whole family before going back to JP this summer because we have to renew our visas! :)

Weight Loss

There are a lot of people who really want to loss weight as soon as possible. Like me, who have been talking and swearing myself not to indulge such guilty pleasures food. I gave birth to my second son almost 2 years ago and mind you, the flabs are still here! It has something to do with my food in take for sure and the way I manage myself. Although, I took off a few pounds a few months back but every time I get to eat extra, I will gain weight instantly. I’m not really liking it! Gone are the days where I could eat anything without having to trouble myself on weight loss! But I came across this hcg diet that you don’t need to starve yourself to death, no outrageous exercising that would cause a lot of pain in your body and then this is medically supervised weight loss program.  And according to MSNBC this is a miracle weight loss program, inexpensive and achieve miraculous! Please be reminded also that health risks involved with gastric bypass surgery are very often downplayed.Anyway, I might as well check this out and read more information first. I still have a few months before my birthday, who knows I can take off all this flabs before that big day! Help me God! :)

New Dog

We just got a new Labrador and since it will be our first time to have this kind of dog, I’m looking for affordable dog supplies online that I can just order without hassle! I will be off later in the mall too so, I will check there as well. But with tons of sales going on around, I might be able to snag a few discounted items! Any recommendations for our new pup? :) We are still thinking of what to name him but will come to that soon..

Recipe:Coconut Milk Chicken

I got this recipe at Apartment Therapy site. I love looking and reading some of their recipes. And when I saw this one. Which I was thinking of making a coconut milk chicken for tonight. Not sure if it will taste just the same because I don’t have some of the recipes here. But we’ll see;)

Chicken in Coconut Milk
serves 4

One 3-3.5 pound whole chicken
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 pound fingerling potatoes
2 cans (13 - 15oz) regular or light coconut milk
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
10 whole garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
Zest of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons chopped lemon grass stems
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 cinnamon stick

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper at a rate of about 1 tablespoon salt per pound and 1 tablespoon pepper per three pounds. Heat the butter and sesame oil in a pot that will fit the chicken snugly, like a Dutch oven, and set the chicken in the hot oil. Cook, turning the chicken to get an even golden color on all sides, about 5 minutes total.

Remove from the heat, put the chicken on a plate, and dispose of the fat left in the pot. Return the chicken to the pot with the rest of the ingredients, and cook in the preheated oven, basting with the cooking juices every 20 minutes, for 1 - 1.5 hours. It is done when the meat pulls away from the bone without much effort and the potatoes are tender when pricked with the end of a paring knife.

To serve, pull the meat off the bones and divide with potatoes between plates or serve on a platter. Spoon over a hefty helping of the milky sauce. Mind the cinnamon stick.

Diet

I meet my old friend yesterday in Cebu! I was in Cebu to check a few things. And since I still had a few hours left before the meeting starts. I met my old friend who I never saw for 7 years! Things have changed a lot. Of course, she told me I gained a few pounds! You should have seen me 8 years ago! haha Never needed any kind of apidexin diet pills to loose weight. I was only 49kg for a 5′5″! Now though, I am still not convince for any diet pills because normal stuff has always been the best. But would take you a lot longer for gym..Anyhow, it was nice seeing my friend,P! Still beautiful and sexy..I wish to loose more weight soon…

Vacation thoughts..

I wish that some good heart will read this and give me a vacation! hehe Seriously, I really want a good vacation. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city! Probably to a beach because I’m a beach bum! But I wouldn’t mind if something like this Myrtle beach golf that I saw earlier online. That would really be a grand vacay for sure! But for now, I will just stay here and wait..Patience, my dear;)

Modern

I was looking for modern sofas and this photo I came across is just what I wanted! We have a spare room in the second floor and I still don’t know what to do with it. Not sure if the husband will really make it his office but with his busy schedules abroad he told me to just leave out the room first. I was thinking of making it a fitness area where I could put up the fitness stuff there but I only have the treadmill yet and it means I have to buy another things which by the way is not the good time for money spending..hehe
