The Weekend Review..

Again - this will be in bullets! hahaha..

  • Friday was actually a slow day - the highlight was my mom cooking crabs! Yummy!
  • I couldn't believe that I dozed off at 9pm! I wasn't even able to catch my favorite Teleseryes!
  • Since I slept at around 9pm - I woke up at 1:45 in the morning! I actually thought that it was morning already! Since I couldn't sleep - I watched TV for a couple of hours - then, when my eyelids felt heavy - I decided to sleep (agai
  • Woke up to sounds of heavy rains! I was planning to to go the Rockwell Urban Bazaar to support my friend - a new and upcoming designer - Tammy Tan. But since it was raining cats and dogs - and for fear that I'd get stranded in Makati - I decided to skip it for the next day
  • My Panget picked me up for his cousin's daughter's birthday party at Acropolis - the theme - a Disney Princess' birthday! :) The food was okay - the place was really cold!! But it was fun!
  • After the party - we headed to Cyma in Greenbelt 2 for Eleanor's Baby shower!!
  • Saw K and MM - my Chinese Chickens!!
  • My Panget wanted to try out Cold Stone - and we did - shelled out Php384.00 for 2 ice creams!! Dang it!
  • Celebrated my mom's birthday (early) during lunch - she prepared Shabu-Shabu for us! I miss having Shabu-Shabu at home!
  • Went to Rockwell's Urban Bazaar - bought a dress from Tammy - I should have gone the previous day!! Argh... The rains kasi eh!
  • Bought my frist ever dress/top from Doroty Perkins! Enjoyed a 5% discount because of my ICAAA card! Yehaaaaa!!
  • It was actually a shopping day for me! For the first time - I was the one who went home with all the stuffs! My Panget - did not shop for anything.. Teehee!! Yey for me!!
  • I was the 3rd placer in our Poker game that night.
  • A lazy Monday it was - went to my Panget's to watch 'Inside Man' - I fell asleep!! Hahaha.. It was that boring..

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...
