Reading Books

One of my favorite hobbies is reading books and aside from playing ball games it’s one of the things that I love doing to relieve stress. It’s been my hobby since I was 12 but for now I’m fond of reading articles on the net as most of my time were spent doing online writing. It’s easier for me to read online especially before when I was working full-time in a telecoms company. I devote my lunch break doing some browsing and reading on the net.

I’ve sacrificed my break time into having lunch at minimal time and spending the rest of it reading books online. That way I learned many things and that inspired me to write more inspirational posts. It helped me a lot and I’ll never stop this habit as I feel so good doing it. During my free time away from my computer I still read some books to learn, relax and be informed.

:Food Friday - Chicken Lollipop

Chicken Lollipop is my kids' favorite, actually it's our family's favorite as this is the common cooked food on occasions and some other ordinary days. It's actually from the wings' part of the chicken but when it's done it looks like lollipop. I've observed how it is done in the market and did it myself at home. It's easy as you nly have to divide the chicken wings into two and then make some trimmings :-) then you have your own chicken lollipop. Then you just marinate and put some breading on it before you deep fry it! Result - yummy and cute chicken lollipops!

Happy Food Friday to all, see other yummy foods here!

Many people now are getting their cars through financing rather than cash payments. With financing you can budget your money as there will be an allotted monthly payment due unlike paying it on cash terms which you will spend a lot of money on purchasing cars. Of course there are interest rates but that will cover up for the convenience of paying the car on installment basis. Now you can get your financing over the net through Good Sam Finance Center which has a broad lenders’ network to help you find the best rates and terms for your needs.

Thursday Challenge : Hot (Fire)

'Lechon Manok On Fire'

I picked this one for my entry because I want this photo taken last December on Christmas day during our camp meeting. Since we're on a faraway villa and we want to feast on grilled chicken we improvised this rotisserie made of woods from the tree. One brother was rotating it manually on one side to even out the grilling. Isn't it creative? From what I remembered we roasted more than 10 chicken. We had it for lunch in addition to pork mechado.

Personalised Wedding Invitations

Many girls dream of an ideal wedding and of course the perfect groom to live with for the rest of their lives. Even in this modern generation of questionable morality most of women I know still believe in getting married and having one man to share their life with. But in getting married you’ll have to be prepared with enough finances for all the expenses that go with it.

I and hubby experienced that when we get married 13 years ago. Couples would have to prepare everything like guests list, wedding gowns and suits, sponsors, reception, food, music and wedding invitations. We made our own layout of our invitations because I wanted a personal touch and to prevent misspelled names and words. I want my invitation to be perfect and personalized that’s why I made it myself in my computer. I just have it printed in printing press to emboss the printouts. Until now when we read and browse back our wedding invitation we’re happy that it’s our own personalized invitation.

Now you can have your wedding invitations customized without so much fuss as you can order it online. That’s the gift of modern technology and for the couples it’ll be more convenient and affordable too! I’m sure it will make your big day more special.

:WS - My Despedida

Finally after more than one year of my resignation I was finally approved for early retirement. It was a very happy day for me as I see my plans will finally pursue. I wasn't informed that there will be some sort of despedida for me and it wasn't until few minutes before lunchtime that I was told by Berry, the youngest girl of my boss that they have prepared some food to feast on as my despedida. My despedida was both attended by my officemates from both companies and we feasted on chicken curry, lumpiang shanghai and pancit. Later I've bought ice cream for our desserts.

Those are few of my shots, first one with some of my officemates and the second one with Sir Bob's children, Ms. Berry and my junior boss Sir Bobby. I like their smiles here, makes me feel touched with their thoughtful words and valuable effort in making me feel special. He joked and told me not to cry lol! I'm not the least teary-eyed though I'm touched!

I served for the two companies of my boss for more than 16 years, ten years on consultancy doing technical proposals and bidding projects and 6 years on BT&T Telecoms/Network Corp. doing multi-task on being Billing & Collection Officer, Accounting Supervisor, Administrative and Human Resource Officer. Actually even if I have no educational background on all these jobs because I'm a Computer Eng'g. graduate I've learned the skills through experience. I thanked Sir Bob for letting me learned all of it. It was a privilege for me.

I had some talk with my younger boss and he arranged everything for this final day.

Diet Review

It’s hard to limit your food or follow your diet plan when you’re working because the moment you feel stressed and pressured you have a tendency to eat what’s available. Well that goes for me and I know my officemates suffer the same dilemma as mine. What really bothers me is the effect of bad eating habit to my body as we all know excess pounds on your body placed some risks on your health.

I know I should be serious on my diet plan that’s why I started reading some diet pills review to help me acquaint with available remedy for my problem. Of course I should consult my doctor before taking any of them but for now I’ll just discipline myself on my new eating program and that’s eating the right kind of food. I will not skip my meals just to be thin but instead I’ll eat more of fruits, vegetables and fish. Hope I’ll change next month. Wishes!

:Food Friday - Banana Milk Shake

I have this flair about fruit shakes that every time I eat in a restaurant I always want to taste their version of my favorite fruit shakes. I love natural fruit shakes because you can taste the real flavors of the fruits and it's also healthy compared to other powdered milk shake. Though I'm also a fan of those powdered shake with black sago I just buy them at least once or twice a month for some health reasons.

This banana milk shake I have for my entry today is part of the combo meal of Outback Steak House in Libis. The meal for four consists of baby back ribs, beef burger steak, green salad and fettucini. I didn't remembered the restaurant names for the mentioned foods I just described it by myself lol! From the pic above you'll have an idea how yummy it is!

Thursday Challenge : Power (Electronics)

CPU

My Little Technician at Work (Do not disturb!)

This is the Central Processing Unit of my sister's personal desktop computer, the POWER inside any computer. We opened it because it bogged down and we replaced its power supply. When my son Josh saw us tinkering with the computer's hardware he asked us to let him put the screw back into each places and there he had the case closed perfectly.

:Food Friday - Dinner Feast

This is our dinner foods which are a combined potluck from all who attended, it's actually a dinner with bestfriend JennyL and some of our friends way back in school days. I brought Andok's Liempo and JennyL brought drinks. Some of our friends brought pancit, cake and salad. It was a mixture of various foods without really organizing who will bring this and that. Anyway even if some foods are the same we enjoyed the evening with our friends.
