My Cooking Goal

I have a new goal :)

To learn a new dish every week.

Yes.

I will go to the farmer's market every Sunday, buy what I need, and attempt to cook to the best of my ability. I'm getting old. My parent's work too hard, the least I can do is cook for them... Because I love them :)

(This is my new cookbook my boyfriend got me: Filipino Homestyle Dishes)

Dad always says "Your a lady, you learn to cook"... So far I've only learned a few: Adobo, Sinigang, Tinola, and Afritada... Your typical Filipino breakfast, corned beef, spam and egg breakfast, fresh tomatoes on the side. (My absolute favorite, which my boyfriend hates) :/ but he needs to stop taking me out to eat so I can learn to cook for myself.

As soon as I can get down the main dishes, I would like to learn Filipino desserts/bakery !!! Woo man! My mouth just waters thinking about it. MmMmmMmmm.

I'm excited!

Fasa's Day

Happy father's day. Ya know what? My dad may look mean with his bold piercing Berny Mac eyes o_O... He may be a little over protective with me, like perhaps pulling a gun out on boys -_-... He may be a bit off a dick on the phone when bullshitting people... But, he's great!

Great for supporting my dreams, from wanting to become a Real estate broker, to an Accountant, to a Dentist and now to a Pharmacist :)

Great for being the one to truly believe that I can do anything I put my heart into.

Great for being my guidance and protection, for making sure I keep my Filipino moral values of being a lady.

I love him!

Thanks Dad. Always Daddy's little girl.

So, today for Father's day, me and me brother Brian took my dad out to Happy Buffet. YAAAH! and then we went home and ate some more. :X

I got him his favorite cake from Goldilocks, Brazo de Mercedes. He would always buy me it as a kid when I'd be mad at him. Haha, memories of not talking to him for weeks, and him bringing this home. :)

Tough Week

I been pretty bummed out this week. I think I cried almost everyday so far :/

So, here was my shit list:
-Sunday: A good friend passed away.
-Monday: I received a 56% on a timed test (only got to finish about half of it).
-Tuesday: Mom opens my bank statements and yells at me.
-Wednesday: I'm just F'in emo today. Listening to old slow jams while studying. Why? I don't know. Just did I guess.

Despite all that, the only thing thats keeping me sane is being with the boyfriend. Unfortunately... He's always working, but it allows me to have the day to study and do things for myself, and after work we go out to eat.

I'm happy to end each day with a smile.

In Loving Memory of Paula Casem Felisilda

Sunday, I stopped by the hospital to see her one last time. I went to the evening mass at church, sent out a prayer to her family. I miss her joyful smile, her laugh, her singing at work. I'll never forget the advice she would always give me on love, work, and school... I only wish I had a chance to thank her and tell her how wonderful she was.






I trust and believe shes in a better place, God has a plan for all of us. Paula we love you! Thank you for all the wonderful memories.

Party in my Tummy

I'm gaining some more of that "happy fat" again.

The other night I had a $70 dinner -_-

Sushi, lobster, crab, chocolate fondue, a crepe and tiramisu... Holly molly!

Pretty soon I'll be like coookie monster. "Yum nam mam mum!"

My boyfriend is great :)
