ang labot baw…
tano igdi sa dagang hababaw
mayong ibang nahihiling kundi ang labaw
binabangut-bangutan, iniibahan pa nin sabaw.
laki
bayi
magpakalalaki
magpakababae
mayo kang padumanan
gabos nalalabutan.
sara-saraon
bara-basbasan
tama-tamaon
pagparapandayan
dae ka na magpagal
ta pareho man lang ang kaluluwasan
laki
bayi
magpakalalaki
magpakababae
dae ko aram, penoy man balot
pero maorag talaga kitang maghanap nin labot.

I know I had this mention in the post Happiness Is... but I wanted to add pictures for I am very much visual... :)


So here's my list of fave food once again...



  • Italian Food

my #1, northern-style would be my choice. I actually have a recipe of it though I use penne to increase the quantity when serving for family get-together since it is cheaper but they still love it even if it turns out like a baked-macaroni.  

any pasta will do

and pizza





  • Filipino Food



Filipino's best and I do have an original recipe for it. (another post) 

Full of cholesterol but still a fiesta won't be a fiesta without it :)

 A drinking session food buddy, something we call "pulutan".

I love the crunchy ingredients but I don't like the shrimp better have more tinapa bits or smoked fish.


Comfort food for the sick, it never fails. Biggs Diner actually has the best goto in our little  town but that's not what's in the pic :) 


Just see for yourself :)


This is something different, a mixture of different ingredients to play with your taste buds.



A Bicol delicacy, I always love since kid.


  • Chinese Food


Something that I love from Chowking :)

 tofu 
Something healthy and cheap and delicious. Pan-fry it or a little oil and serve with soy sauce, calamansi with garlic, onions and a little chili.


I can actually cook this too. Well, most of the my fave food I took some time to learn how to cook them since I can't seem to get the particular food just anywhere I go. But Geewan has the best siopao in Naga City for me.



  • Mexican Food


Both are messy to eat but still they are healthy, delicious and something easy to prepare.


  •  Japanese Food


I love noodle soup and this is my fave. Ramen House would be best 
but since we don't have it here Korean ramen in a disposable cup 
or simply Lucky Me will do and I use chopsticks for fun:)


Nanay Pining (my late grandma) and me on our first shabu-shabu meal
in Manila along with the whole family c/o Uncle Efren.
Veggie, veggie, veggie I don't love them but if it's like this I'll surely eat a lot.

  •  Filipino Street Food 



Something very easy to cook.








This is pretty easy to cook and I even know how to make the used oil can filled with water and set to boil which used as a cooker for it. 

  • Mc Donald's pancake and french fries





  • burgers especially Stackers


  • any salad will do especially Caesar salad and fruit salad



  • Shawarma
This is my fave kind Sizzling Shawarma coming from a local eats named Haidnhor.

  •  mushroom soup or any soup with garlic bread
Now, I'm missing Kart City and Nay's House in Tarlac. They have the best yet affordable soups I've ever tasted. For quick grab Campbell's will do.

  • cakes especially Blue-berry Cheesecake
I crave for Starbucks... yum!

  • ice creams (double dutch, Häagen-Dazs, Dairy Queen Blizzard)

  • chocolates (Ferrero Rocher, Hershey's Symphony or Kisses with almonds and Macadamia Nuts)


  • some junk foods (Marty's Cracklin Vegetarian Chicharon, Doritos, Pringles, Bread Pan)


  • Besides Alkaline Water... Starbucks Java Chip Frappuccino, Mango Shake, Pineapple Juice and Zagu (drinks but decided to include it here anyways)
Zagu: Chocolate or Creme Brulee with extra choco bits :) 

  • big fluffy white marshmallows toasted in a bonfire :)



That's it... just seeing all of it in photos make me happy already :)

101 Truths About Me: #2 I laugh easily.

My personality may come strong and complicated but my source of happiness is plain and simple. Little things can make me laugh and smile. A good sometimes corny joke will do.

Here I list the things that can brighten my day:


* lasagna, any pasta and pizza (Italian Food)
* Adobo, lechon, sisig, palabok, goto, dinuguan (Filipino Food)
* butchi and fresh or fried lumpia, tofu, siopao (Chinese Food)
* Tacos and burritos (Mexican Food)
* Ramen and shabu-shabu (Japanese Food)
* Filipino Street Food (fishballs, barbecue, kwek kwek, isaw, betamax, taho, puto)
* Mc Donald's pancake and french fries
* burgers especially Stackers
* any salad will do especially Caesar salad and fruit salad
* Shawarma
* mushroom soup or any soup with garlic bread
* cakes especially Blue-berry Cheesecake
* ice creams (double dutch, Häagen-Dazs, Dairy Queen Blizzard)
* chocolates (Ferrero Rocher, Hershey's Symphony or Kisses with almonds and Macadamia Nuts)
* some junk foods (Marty's Cracklin Vegetarian Chicharon, Doritos, Pringles, Bread Pan)
* Starbucks Java Chip Frappuccino, Mango Shake, Pineapple Juice and Zagu
* big fluffy white marshmallows toasted in a bonfire :)





  • Family

Even though we clash and argue still seeing them makes me happy and thankful for having them as my family.

* seeing my mom arrived home safe and sound from her daily commute to work. 
Now I get too understand why parents always require their kids to go home and impose a curfew because they worry about them a lot and I am experiencing that now especially if my mom didn't arrive on time... such a state of paranoia.
* seeing everyone in one room all noisy and chaotic
* exploring and trying new things with them
* seeing my mom lighten up her face while asking if her nail polish color is pretty or a new blouse, shoes or bags fit her well
* seeing her happy watching teleserye, some show irritates me but I enjoy sitting with her in the living room and teasing her that she should stop watching anything on TV because it is making her upset be it a news or a stupid character in a certain soap opera.
* eating her home-cooked meal until I am full and she would proudly say her dish is too delicious that I was able to eat it all and I'll just say "It was fine but I'm just too hungry that I can eat anything disgusting at that moment." Of course she knew that no one can make me eat anything that I don't like even if I'm that hungry I would rather sleep than eat and vomit it all in the end.

There are tons of things that I can list here but my blog cannot accommodate all so I think this had given you a sort of a preview to the whole picture.



  • Writing

Yes, obviously this is my solace, my bliss something that I hold on to besides my faith when everything seems out of control.




  • Reading

It spells adventures and fun and nothing like that couldn't make me smile.

  • Pictures

Another medium that takes me away.





  • Music and Movies

Need I say more?




  • Nature

God's gift to mankind, one of the masterpieces. A proof that we are love. Seeing the moon in its horizon is happiness already. Silence and tranquility with the wind breezing in an ocean and the waves splashing into the shore, it's noise and flapping feathers of birds... it's priceless.




  • Friends

They are angels sent from heaven. A hello would do wonders.




  • Babies

I always love kids and seeing one brightens my day in an instant.

Well, it's really impossible to have it all in this entry. Happiness for me is everywhere and I can say that it isn't about money for I don't have that but I am in my happiest state these days. It isn't about material things, having this or that and honestly the only luxury I can consider right now in my life would be having a laptop and a 24/7 net connection (in our present time this is already a necessity and it is true for me since my job is online) and a few trips in a restaurant once in a while.

Finally at 4:00 am today my sister and her fiancée arrived from their trip to Cebu and Manila and their first stop in Bicol is our house since they have to or else, I don't know ask my mom instead.
















I'm thankful that they're finally back safe and healthy and yes extra happy for the pasalubong. There are tons mostly food. Take a look at these:

The most appreciated of all would be my Krispy Kreme. Why am I making it such a big deal having a box of doughnuts? Well it's because until now Naga City still doesn't have a franchise of it as well as Dairy Queen and the nearest store would be about 8-hour bus ride or 45 minutes by plane and I can have it all by myself for my mom is diabetic (but still she'll have some too, I know that for a fact) and I am not guilty of buying it for myself.  But don't worry I won't eat it all in one day, I wanted to but I can't... calories, sugar and all that stuff.



Mango Kreme Cake: The Official Doughnut of Summer...  yep, it's back :)




Some Cebu Delicacies 
(took only a few pics of some since I 'm a bit lazy it's too early in the morning and I haven't slept yet)




And yes everyone is up so early...

And we have new stocks for the boutique: dresses, shirts, blouses, bags and finally shoes...

Not so pleasing in the eyes yet... too lazy to take pictures of each item now... some other day :)
(Please bear with me for the not so hi-quality pics, my phone camera is the quickest and easiest I can grab for unexpected happenings like this coz people are actually getting a little impatient of my capturing regular stuff of the day and my camera phone make it a little subtle since they thought I'm just texting or what, not that they don't know I don't like texting... hehe)

So good morning everyone and may you have a happy and blessed day, I'll be off to bed in awhile very grateful for all the blessings that He showered me everyday of my life :)
