First Haircut in more than 12months

I've decided to grow my hair last October 2004. It's been a year since that decision, and I'm happy to say that I stuck with it. Even if it was really hard and awkward at first, I stuck with my decision. And now more than 12 months later, I'm deciding to have my hair styled and colored. Why? Well, for the reason that 1) it's nearing Chirstmas and I always believed that one should look their best EVERY Christmas and New Year! 2) I'm bored with always tying my hair back 3) It's been a while, since I felt pampered.

I've been booking appointments with my hair dresser left and right, and at the last minute (a day before the scheduled appointment) I'd back out - in fear, with hesitation, with ultimate reluctance. One would ask why? Well, because I fear that I'd look stupid!! The last time I had long hair was when I was in 4th year high school! That's roughly 7 years ago!! Since 1999 I've had my hair short, and I liked it that way. Low maintenance and easy to wear!! No fuss, no mess! But now that my hair is long, I'm faced with gruelling hours drying my hair, combing/brushing my hair, buying endless rubberband supplies, shampoo bottles emptying before I know it, lathering up my long hair(this takes time ah!! argh), and conditioning my hair for protection.

Tomorrow, will be judgement day for me. I hope that my 'new' hair looks good on me!! I pray that Jing will not mess up my look - well, he never has! He's been so good, that I've been a loyal client since 1999!! He's the only person I trust with my hair, and no one else. He just flips my hair, cuts it, and voila!! A new look!!

To 'capture' my new look, I've decided to have my passport picture taken! Of course, after the haircut - my hair will definitely be styled thus having the 'inayos' or 'kaka-parlor lang' look that I want to acheive. I just hope everything goes well as planned.

Good luck to me!!

Have a nice weekend everyone!!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't t...

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
