Tomorrow is August 27 and one month after will be my 27th bithday on 27th of September.. 27 on 27 whew!

As I've wanted it to celebrate with my friends, most of them are in Manila and Cavite.. so will I be contented on blowing a cake and singing for myself?

I still have lot of things to do, dreams to fulfill and experience to make.. as my friend(age 30) says ...
"I still feel the same when I'm 20 the only thing that change is my age" and perhaps more matured maybe?

Baeu's bday is on 2nd of Sept.. Advance Birthday to him..hope he'll be here so we can celebrate it together..

"You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end."For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs". Matthew 24, 6-8

Mail arrived today from post office saying there's a parcel and I need to pay 40 pesos or 1 US dollar and since my parents will go on grocery I let them get it for me.. Oh! another sample from cellnique.. Before it arrived directly to our door but now I need to pay for "Custom Declaration" and get it from post office. So here's what they sent me..

Hello Hong kong!
With lack of sleep, no itinerary, cash flows at airport at last we're here at Hong Kong. We arrive around 9 am, then came at Mongkok 11 am, we'll stay here at Dragon Hostel maybe for a night we still have lots of places to go and spots to visit, not to mention shoopping. The weather is cold here, nice breezy air just like in Baguio, the only difference is there are more buildings, buses and chinese. hehe

to be continue..

1st day!
Ladies market, endless shopping and walk. Lost ways every time we plan to go back to the inn. There's a breadtalk counter part here post the name soon. It's weird that everytime my cousin bid price she always get what she wants. She already bought 3 outfits with boots and socks, pasalubong, etc. Looking forward on the 2nd day!

Back from Hong Kong..
It's been 3 nights and 4 days since we went to Hong Kong, we left the airport 10 then came at Clark by 11:45. Mama and my Titas came late because of petty problems about the car but anyways by noon we ate our lunch, show them our pictures then leave by 3:30 pm going to Cavite. It's been a busy day, earlier we are frigging cold in Mong Kok later we're sweating hot in Pampanga. How small the world could be!

Our unplanned itineraries:

1st day: Arrived at the Clark Int. Airport 4:30 - the gate is still close, we're too early, it's probably the 1st flight that day.
Eat some patties then wait for 3 more hours for the flight around 7 am.
onboard on time and arrived in Hong Kong around 9 am. Airport is so Big, we found ourselves getting all the maps and magazines even if it's in chinese.
Next we locate the A21 Bus going to Mong Kok , the driver is really nice he did wait us to buy the ticket, they don't give change for your bills, you need to pay the exact amount.
The scene is great! the long bridge connecting from Lantau to Kowloon.
We just been 1 hour in HK but found ourselves lost going to the Hostel..

Count it as Lost 1

Came at Dragon by 11, stanley was there, we wait 1 hour more for our room is not yet ready..but when they gave us our room it turned out to be a family room..hmm is it a complimentary or they just lack room and double room is not available?!

Btw we bought our favorite bread in Taipan-breadtalk counterpart, yummy!

After checkin in, rest for a while then explore Mong Kok where the ladies market is located, (we step out at Jade market) then spent the night walking around, looking for some goods and bargaining. My cousin has her charm so they gave her lots of discounts.

Going back to Dragon we are lost again Lost no. 2!

the misadventure continues....

Sunday off for Nueva Ecija to visit my school and get some requirements, it's been 6 years since I've been there.. some of the instructors are my batchmates, if we're still residing there I may be an instructor as well. We visit our former neighbors and adopted us for 1 day.. they're like our extended family, who helped us when we're still there.. so generous people, pure and loving.

Another attempt on making Korean dishes so after I discovered a site, immediately try one of the recipes..

Ingredients:
Kimchi, onion, salt, sugar, flour, vegetable oil.

Directions:

1. In a bowl, place 1 cup of chopped kimchi, 3 tbs of kimchi juice, 2 tbs chopped onion, ½ ts salt, ½ ts sugar, ½ cup flour (all purpose flour), and ¼ cup of water and mix it well with a spoon.

2. Heat up a 12 inch non-stick pan over medium high heat and drizzle about 2 tbs grape seed oil.

3. Place the mixture of kimchi pancake batter on the pan and spread it thinly and evenly with a spoon.

4 Cook it for 1-1 ½ minutes until the bottom gets golden brown and crispy.

5. Turn it over with a spatula or flip it.

Lower the heat to medium and cook for another 1½ minutes.

1. Turn it over one more time and cook for 30 seconds before transfering it to a serving plate.
*tip: Serve it right out of the pan or cool it down and cut it into bite size to serve.

credits to www.maangchi.com for the recipes

this Kimchi cost 10 pesos less than the other one we bought before

the mixture turns like this, pale color

very simple.. the taste?? well if you're not into spicy food, it's better as side dishes or you'll be too overwhelmed of the spiciness..


Lastly because of brownout I stare out our window and saw this..


There's always be a rainbow after the rain...

If you're into Korean Dishes here's a very helpful website..

For this week I've been busy helping my cousin editing her pictures for her sideline, using photoshop. I'm not a professional editor nor study this subject but I'm into artistic works so I'm learning this, hopefully I can incorporate my drawing skills and digital art to put up a new sideline or maybe a career!

After 10 years I finally did my cousin's sketch, she's been wanting this for years and I don't why I'm not doing it so before I give a favor to my other cousin might as well do her first..

I found this interesting site robo.to where you can record short videos of yourself, what are you doing, expressions or mood.. just like tumblr, blogspot or twitter you can record and compile everyday post, only thing it's recorded video using webcam.. isn't it cool??

I'm using almost all the networking site available, name it! from plurk, twitter, tumblr, blogspot, xanga(almost expired), multiply, facebook, friendster (not active) and now I'm working on creating a web hosting page not for me but for my cousin's business..

The thing is if I enjoy doing something no matter how many hours or how tired I am in doing a project as long as I love doing it I'll never get tired nor give up.. I always find a way on making it better or discover something new from it..

Add me up!!

I often use eyeliner, you can always see me involuntarily rubbing my eyes so anything in it will smudge or fade away unless I'm fully conscious about my make up. I saw some videos in smokey eye tutorial and one thing she used was eyeliner. I sometimes do my mom's makeup so I wanna buy her an inexpensive but quality eyeliner. I found this at Watson.

When we watched eclipse last July 2 they gave us a bookmark and my brother even won a t shirt.. i promise to draw them one day.. so yesterday I'm in the mood to do it!

There's ice cream and chocolates often called comfort food, why? it makes us happy! For one reason it makes us forget worries, anger or sadness. I don't have sweet tooth so I often eat chocolates unless someone gave me a lot. For chocolates I'm into wafer coated like Kitkat and Samba which are inexpensive!Also those with fruits and nuts for the expensive ones like Cadbury fruits and Nuts, almonds or macadamia chocolates.. not a fan of dark chocolates. So this weekend I bought my own version of comfort food minus the ice cream.
