Weddings

It's officially the season of Weddings. Last Saturday, at S's bridal shower - S handed me my official invite to her wedding. I don't know why - but when I got home - I stared at it for about 10 minutes - I looked at it over and over again. I couldn't believe she's already getting married! It seems like only yesterday that she was telling us how her then boyfriend A - proposed to her. I was so happy to hear the news. Actually, I wasn't surpirsed - you see, I dreamt that she told me she was already getting married. She assumed that my Panget (who's her cousin) told me about her fiance's plans - but honestly - I found out in my dream - I only confirmed it was true when she told me. (There's a saying that if you dream of something and you want it to come true - you shant tell anyone - I'm a bit superstitious you see...) In less than a month she will become Mrs. A.K.L. We were just sending one another text messages after my Yoga class a few hours ago. She just got hold of my bridal shower gift - she found it really naughty. Hahaha!! I know they'll both find use for it eventually. Enjoy my gift S & A!!

Just a few minutes ago, I got a text message from an unfamiliar number telling me that my invite will be left at Angel's Kitchen. I was thinking - to what event? and who was sending me that message?! Of course, as courtesy - I had to say thanks first - and then asked who the message came from. A few seconds later - I learned who it came from. It was from SP. I knew he was getting married later this month - but was unsure of the date, I quite honestly, I had the feeling too that I might not be invited - well, mainly because we lost touch already. You see - SP and I met in Bejing - he was taking a short vacation - while I - I was still studying. And in that short time - we became good good friends. It was really nice that when I got back - we were still in touch. The last time I saw him was in the Yoga studio last year - he was there accompanying his now fiance - Lars to class. He looked really happy. Finally SP! A perfect match for you!

With 2 weddings in a span of less than a month - my quest to lose weight will have to be taken quite seriously now, as SP will be getting married on the 29th! That's 12 freaking days from now. Damn! If I just knew earlier! Good thing I attended my Bikram Yoga class today - for sure, I will be in the studio for the next 3 weeks! For SP's wedding - I have to fit into the dress I wore last year to my cousin's wedding - the one that Debbie Co made for us. Which reminds me - I need to have it sent to the cleaners.

This Saturday - I will be meeting with Tammy Tan to fit the dress I had made for S's wedding. I hope it fits well and is bagay for me. Crossing my fingers and I'm really excited to see the outcome of our ideas combined!!

Next project - MM's wedding and C's wedding next year! Yehaa!!

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 full functioning

#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 think I can w

#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 something up with just ing
