The Weekend that was....

I will be posting in bullets. It was actually a lazy weekend, which I liked!
  • I actually watched an FPJ movie on Channel 2! I was laughing at myself! Hahaha..
  • Went to Megamall to check out my Panget's display booth
  • Ate at Banana Leaf - disappointing Thai food! The Tom Yum Kung was just all broth!
  • Went to get take out at Banapple. Man was I disappointed with the Apple Pie! It tasted really blaaaaaaaaaaah!! But the Banofee Pie was really really good!! :) (I will be posting pictures soon!!)
  • I started my Sunday with a Mass - and I loved it! It truly made my day..
  • Mom bought 1/2 kilos of oysters for a meager Php50.00! She made a delish Oyster Cake!
  • Had an uber lazy afternoon, went to Metrowalk to get some DVDs - bought Superbad, Knocked-Up and I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry.
  • Watched Superbad - it was super bad for me but my Panget loved it! (a guy movie)
  • Ate at Little Asia in Promenade - the food was so so - nothing great. It was filling!
  • Watched Knocked-Up and fell asleep! I guess I was tired! hahaha.. Will continue to watch it tonight!! :)
I am going back to my diet this starting today. I need to lose some weight!! Gained so much on my Bangkok Trip! Hahaha... Wish me luck guys!! :)

  6. Agree with you on Superbad. When I watched the movie, there were 8 couples inside. My first thought was "Hey, is this a date movie?" But only the guys were laughing.

  10. yah i have to agree... banana leaf's quality has gone down since it first opened [when it used to be banana leaf & tea house...??] -- no offense to our canadian batchmates... -- is it still theirs...? hehehe

    its hard to find really good roti here... hehehe -- then again i guess i haven't exactly eaten in EVERY single one that serves them...
    i'm used to the turo-turo lang nga eh... and maybe a couple of sitdown places near my old college... and syempre those were "authentic" -- as in run by indian/paki/thai's... [but not as authentic as ACTUALLY coming from those countries coz i've yet to visit...]

    how do you classify banana leaf...? asian fusion...?

    SOMS is wonderful! so cheap pa!! but i can't remember if they have roti...hahahaha only been there a couple of times...
    the thai kitchen isn't so bad either...also reasonably priced...
    but for family sitdown places i have yet to find a really nice place... as in gushing 'this is a great' place! like SOMS hehehe -- crustasia's pretty ok... weird that they put one up on the ledge [in shangri-la] considering there's penang hill na... ok fine penang hill is s'porean but the menu's similar...

  11. Hey N!k/cole - Actually - Som's was just alright - I mean the Pad Thai was REALLY REALLY BAD! It tasted like ketchup! The curries were okay naman. The best thing with Som's is the price - that's it. Crustasia for me is OVERpriced, Penang Hill is alright.

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 ...

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...
