Mama G's Absence

PaVirg and I went to Oxford Circus to roam around since we didn't went out for ages, though we see each other in class twice a week. We planned to meet up with three of our classmates in River Island but unfortunately there are multiple branch in the place (Oxford Circus is a well known shopping area in London). PaVirg and I waited for ages without the hint that we're in both R.I. in a different branch. Anyways, we found them but Katrina left already so I ended up with the three boys. Virg is starving to death so we bought from sub and ate at the side street, I said to them that I don't mind eating outside because I'm cowboy, Virg said that he's a cowgirl. hahah =D
We entered from one shop to another, took pictures and had fun!

Easy, fast and yummy!

Most of the time, people prefer to eat instant foods especially in the morning as we rush for work. Some are used to it but others were tired of eating the same food every morning.
Here are easy steps to cook pasta in red sauce without consuming too much time and effort.

INGREDIENTS

EASY SIMPLE STEPS:

• Heat the wok pan with chilli oil
• Put diced onion, after few minutes add the garlic.
• Add the drained tuna and sliced hotdogs then stir to golden brown.

• On the other hand, heat water in an electric kettle for a shorter boiling period.
• Pour the boiling water in a Caldero and add the noodles after 3 minutes.
• Leave the noodles for 5 minutes and turn off the stove. 
• Drain the noodles.

•  Add the tomato sauce in the pan with a half  cup of water.
• Honey as sweetener, cheese to melt and pepper for spice.
• Stir and leave until it boils.

• Mix the noodles and sauce.

best served with garlic bread

Ladies, we should know how to cook too and not just how to put make up on and dress up.

Make a wish upon a STAR ☆

LSS (last song syndrome) as they call it, i found it sweet. The song's simplicity moved me and made me think of a romantic scene, oh! it feels good to fall in love! ♥

Kung ako ang may-ari ng mundo,
Ibibigay ang lahat ng gusto mo,
Araw-araw pasisikatin ang araw,
Buwan-buwan pabibilugin ko ang buwan
Para sa'yo, para sa'yo

Susungkitin mga bituin, para lang makahiling,
Na sana'y maging akin,
Puso mo at damdamin,
Kung pwede lang, kung kaya lang,
Kung akin ang mundo,
Ang lahat ng ito'y iaalay ko sa'yo...

Kung ako ang hari ng puso
Lagi kitang pababantay kay kupido,
Hindi na luluha ang 'yong mga mata,
Mananatiling may ngiti sa 'yong labi,
Para sa'yo, para sa'yo,

PRICILLA Queen of the Desert

Pricilla is the first musical play I have watched in the UK (after a year), I know it takes a while but please understand that I've been busy for other stuff in my life. ^^
Anyways, it is based on the Oscar-Winning movie which tells the drama-comedy life of Bernadette, Tick and Adam (women trapped in men's body, as they say), a glamorous trio who agree to take their show to the middle of Australian outback. they set off in a battered old bus (Pricilla) in search of adventure and love but end up finding more than that.

As my friend and I came in the Palace Theatre an hour before, as required, we managed to walk around the place and look for some goodies.

found this ART BOX shop few streets away and bought a lunch box with spoon and fork ツ

A thumbs up experienced from a first-timer, the audience clapped and laugh all together.

I reserved a ticket for balcony space but blessedly we are converted to the stalls, few seats away from the stage.

We ate in Nando's for a starving day and roam around Picadilly an Oxford Circus, I am tempted with this paawa pair from Zara.

Before and after the play! ^^

Polka Dots New Year

Since my younger years, my parents used to tell us that we should wear polka dots during the new year's day to attract money/coins, jump at midnight to grow taller for the whole year and make noise as we welcome the upcoming year to get rid of the bad spirits.
The good news is that cousin tEssol and a friend shed is coming to welcome 2011 with the whole family, and the banging news is that I am going to work at 8:00pm so I was expecting that it will be better if we start early so I can join them in the happenings. Unfortunately, tAanne went home at 5:00 from town so we only have three hours together minus the time that they need to prepare themselves.
While waiting for them, I made fruit tarts and cupcakes!

eggs holder turned to tarts holder

timer shots with tEssol and Shed whist waiting for the others

wacky, supposedly!

round foods as traditions are living in our hearts

Polka Dots Ladies

make noise by singing in kareoke to get rid of so-called bad spirits

As the time passes by, I have to leave for work!

and the party continues . . .

titaGlo came with boy friend and the two sons Bismark and John, Uncle Jun was able to join because he finished cooking (he's the kitchen in charged most of the time)  

teShai was able to come five minutes before 12 midnight

as they were having a toast for the prosperous 2011,

I am so sleepy at work.

Have a fab 2011 everyone!! God bless!

Happy Christmas 2010

This is my second christmas in the UK, away from my parents but with my Aunt and her family. People normally celebrate their Noche Buena on the night of December 24 to welcome the 25th. This year, we celebrated on the night of 25th since our schedule doesn't jive because most of us are working. Others usually spend this special day dressed up but we done it in our pajamas (comfy and so home-y), ours is simple yet intimate.

Pyjamas Party

I love intimate family dinner!

After the dinner, it is the time to open presents . . .

  

Thank you for all the gifts!! =)

TaAnne's 44th Birthday

Aunty Joan is my mum's youngest sister, wife and mother of two. Her family moved in the UK almost a decade ago and I am living with them at the moment, they are my second family since my own are away. She's been out of the Philippines to work since she was 22 years old, my mum always say that I should follow Aunt's foot prints to succeed.
On aunt's 44th, we made some preparations as an appreciation for all that she did to me and to my cousins. We decided to do Pirate Night to celebrate an unusual party. The house is decorated with banderitas and full of sweets all around the house.

blowing her candles!

Children were playing upstairs while the parents were downstairs.
