Jonathan Matti

Who are you? (Since you hassled me and were kinda rude and 'finicky' your name deserves to be on my blog..)

Have you heard of him? Well, I haven't and last week was the first time I heard his name. He needed a mega white carpet (his staff Aida even doubting the color named Bleached White, I sent him the picture thru email yet, there was doubt - we're not color blinds you know..) installed at his model unit at the Two Serendra - and yesterday, we did install it - despite a lot of setbacks like the room still being painted and with a lot of stuffs), and now that I am following up the payment - naku! Kinda lang ah, pahirapan... When I called, a guy named Paolo answered my call - and I could hear a guy shouting in the background - the suddenly the phone went dead! Nabagsakan pa ako ng telepono. Then when I called again, high and mighty Mr. Matti answered the phone, at first he was pleasant and then he barged me with 'I heard you were rude to my staff!' Me rude? I asked how and he said that I kept on following up the payment - well, of course Sir, the job has been done - in lightning speed!! Since you required everything to be done FAST - we also expect for you to pay on time! Was I rude? I think not - it was his staff who PROMISED to pay even before installing! So was I rude? I wish I were rude (just to justify the accusation) - and maybe I should have! I think rude was what happened to me - nabagsakan ako ng phone diba?

All I can say is - BAHALA NA SI LORD SAYO!! :) God Bless you! :)

I just needed to say that...

Tsk.. Tsk...

A person should not be cocky - even if he's famous (or so he would like to think) - tsk.. tsk..

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...
