LIES THAT MEN TELL...

"It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what. The weird thing about telling someone they're dying is it tends to focus their priorities. You find out what matters to them. What they're willing to die for. What they're willing to lie for." -- Dr. Gregory House

People tell LIES to save themselves from trouble, some for FAME, some for EGO, while some - well, just to SAVE face. I've heard of HORROR stories that have happened to my friends. I for one was a VICTIM of a lie.

I hate these kinds of people. They make me wish they NEVER existed at all. I HATE LIARS - they make me sick. One of the great things my mom has taught me is NEVER to lie. It's true that 'the TRUTH will set you free' - it will, and it STILL does. If one tells the truth - ONE need not worry, if one TELLS a lie, that person will worry to DEATH because the truth may come about, eventually. Being honest and transparent with everthing brings about a certain peace and tranquility in a person. You become at peace with yourself and with the world. You BECOME worry free. But WHEN you tell a lie, everything becomes the exact opposite. Although there's a certain amount of peace that you experience, it's only TEMPORARY - because the TRUTH has its own special way of creeping up into your life whenever everything SEEMS to be normal.

I'm NOT claiming that I've never lied, because as God is my witness I have done so - countless of times. I'm merely saying that for me.. the lies I've told - I've regreted.

the TRUTH as I would always say(as about everything else) - is RELATIVE. It may mean one thing to someone and a whole other thing to someone else. Like what I learned in Philosophy class back in DLSU - everything is relative. And so I try and understand people's actions and reactions.

All I want to say is that - with the TRUTH on your side - everything will be OKAY, everything will be RIGHT, and every thing and everyone will be at PEACE.

So to the PEOPLE WHO TELL LIES for reasons that are beyond me, I wish you GOOD LUCK - As I said - the TRUTH has its special way of creeping up into your life when everything A-Okay.

**Note - These are just my sentiments. NOTHING MORE, nothing less..
***To THAT friend of mine - You know who you are, I WISH YOU WELL WITH EVERYTHING.. :) Be STRONG.. Kaya mo yan!! I will ALWAYS be HERE for you, Promise!

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...

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen. I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us. I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat. I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was. I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe. She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil. So I stuck to baking for a while. It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook. When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up. There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking. It was there that I learned to whip s...
