Taste Bonding

It was the birthday of a close friend last January 26 and since this is the closest weekend, we celebrate it today.

My friend has a habit of visiting places that offers a bunch of delicious meals and desserts as well. And the next time we have to meet, we would try it together.

This weekend, we had yogurt at Pinkberry where they offer an easy wonderfully tangy, not-too-sweet, creamy cloud of perfect frozen yogurt deliciousness. I had a combination of green tea and pomegranate that goes with 4 toppings - - cookies and cream chocolate, mango, kiwi and waffle cookie. Though, I wont recommend waffle cookie. My friend chose green tea and watermelon without toppings. We both opted for medium size. Each flavor tasted as delicious as it looks.

After the mass, we decided to have dinner at Mom & Tinas, where she already tried some desserts before. It was located at Legaspi Village just at the back of Greenbelt. We had a short walk from Greenbelt. There were only few customers inside. When I looked around, I noticed a country-style and homey environment. we both ordered pasta, chicken and spinach lasagna for me (I super like the creaminess and cheesiness) and pesto for my friend, which served with 2 muffin like bread. We shared the mango kani salad with Japanese mayo, its an eggspread-like dressings. I am a small frequent eater, after we shared the salad and consume the 2 breads, I felt full. After 1/3 of my pasta, I said I cant finish it, I was not able to eat anything more and I would just take home the rest of the pasta, which I did. I will make the judgement of it by tomorrow morning.

I enjoyed it, the yogurt and the dinner. Adequate serving and good value for money.

Well, we’re like that, give us something sinfully sweet and delicious and we’ll call it heavenly. We almost have the same taste buds.

We are not just there for each other for good and bad times, but we were also together with several places and different dishes. And we are looking forward for more adventures and perishables to try.

Happy Birthday Gurl. Wish you all the best. And thanks for the fab dinner and dessert, super yummy.

It doesnt matter what we are having and where we are. We could be having coffee at 24 hours convenience store but we could always feel that we are at Starbucks. Its always like we are eating at a first class restaurant, as long as we are at the company of someone we like to be with, that’s all to it.

To Be or Not To Be

I’ve been watching a local talk show awhile ago and their guest ask one of the female host if there is more she cant do considering her versatility. The host answered “to be a mother”.

Well, if that question was thrown at me. My answer will be the same. The host has her reason and I have mine too. I cant be a mother. To be a mother, you should be a wife first. And I dont think I am a wife material…lol. Dont get me wrong here, I’m not intimating that marriage is a bad idea for everyone out there. What I am saying is, it is not for me, perhaps I am just a girlfriend material? Or probably, there are some women who are really acceptable as a girlfriend, but not really quite the ticket when it comes to getting hitched? Or maybe God wants me to be content where he puts me.

Given an opportunity to leave again, I will choose the same life. Happy to be leaving the life I have now with interesting people around me and having share of dynamic experiences on the side.I know what I need to do.

Am I wrong for thinking that? Walang basagan ng trip

Kung Hei Fat Choi everyone!

Wat U C, Wat U Hear, Liv it Hir!

Is your memory big enough to keep those things you did in your past years? Did you share to someone all your experiences? Or some things you rather kept a secret and just cherish it alone.

As human beings, We all have secrets, ones that we keep and ones that are kept from us.

There are things about us that no one else knows. Sometimes those things are pieces of our lives that we haven’t shared yet.

There are times that We have laughed and joked, talked about everything that mattered in our lives but still there are things that we don’t know yet with the other person.

We haven’t shared because we don’t know if the other person will understand us or it will be risky or embarrassing.  We are afraid that if they know the “truth” about us, they’ll think less of us.   

We all have secret lives, and we see in each other pretty much only what we’re interested enough to see.

Ironically, when we share, it brings us closer together.  It creates a bond of intimacy that connects us at a deeper level.  By knowing more of us, we experience more of our humanity.   We seem more “real”. We become more authentic.

The most touching or shall we say “revealing” conversations we have will completely changed the nature of the relationship we have with the other person.  It will happen because we choose to share and understand.

Memory loading!!!!

How naughty are you?

Boys will be boys! Every boy goes through the stage where they experience a period of time for sexual awareness and self discoveries. Along with sexual maturation and development, a wide range of emotional changes also take place.  Some boys go through this period very easily and for others it can be very exciting and amazing experience.  It generally occur between the ages of nine and 16 years of age, but this can vary considerably  from person to person.

Men tend to be far more visually oriented than women,  that’s given. Sexually, reading isn’t going to be what  younger boys wants. They may do it out of curiousity, but it is probably not going to satisfy their desires to ogle pornography, because most likely porno is what gets them off.

Young boys tends to  drool with girls even to the extent of really doing the works. If a girl bends down regardless if they are wearing pants or skirts, boys have the attack of Wandering Eye Syndrome.  If girls panties show, you can expect that boys to be staring with their tounges hanging out. They love the show.

They are anatomically curious young men that  are interested to watch the naked bodies of the girls from the tiny peep-holes they made. Once their hormones kick in, the plumbing gets certified, and they are driven by customer satisfaction. At this point, the fascination is still a separate entity from the sexual drive, but as the young boys start to venture off on their own and start having opportunities to address that innate curiosity , they start learning how to deal with the hormonal influences.The fascination and curiosity they are experimenting within the family circle.

Normally, they have this called male bonding that can keep a secret for achieving this monumental  felonious mischief of their lives. They have the willingness to share their discoveries with their peers. They can even swore an oath of absolute secrecy that if word were to get out, it would be the end of their greatest opportunity had experienced. No one must know what they have to do. There must be no verbal communication. Absolute quiet is necessary for success. All discussion to be done by hand signals. They can feel an almost uncontrollable joy if they see girls walking around in varying degrees of undressing.  Since they are hidden, they could look at the girls as long as they wanted. For married men, it said that just because you bought your meal, doesn’t mean you can’t look at the menu!

Absolutely normal for boys unless they’re dead or gay! Ethical, no! It’s only human curiosity to want to see the opposite sex naked. If nudity were normal, we wouldn’t have a lot of the social stigma we have today.

The better informed they are, the better they will be able to cope with their sexuality without  feeling guilty about it, and the more open and sensitive they will be with their future partners.  There’s no shame in wanting more out of life. 

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. Girls, it doesn’t hurt to know that a guy likes our body, does it? But that’s different story for next time.

New Sunshine

I read somewhere these 3 New Year’s questions and I’d like to start my New Year’s blog by answering these questions. You may also want to post your answer, your responses will follow you through the year. Here it goes:

1. How you celebrate New Year’s Eve?
2. Who is your dream kiss at midnight (given an opportunity)?
3. What (if any) are your resolutions?

As for me, I started  out New Year’s Eve the same way I did every year. But on second thought, I realized that every year, I celebrate New Year differently. There was a time that I was out of town with a cousin, another one I was on duty and one time I was on a boat travelling from the province. This year had to be different, somehow.

I attended the New Year’s Eve mass at 8:30pm and got home around 10:00pm. My cousin gave us pasta,  caldereta and pesto bread. We don’t have any extravagance food on our table…just fruits, chips and champagne. My folks were already at the province so it was just me and my 3 siblings who were passing around the microphone for our videoke time while waiting for the clock to strikes midnight.  At 12 midnight, we  lighted our altar and stood at our terrace and watched the fireworks. It was fun though and simple. Surprisingly, we all slept at 1:00am despite the noise outside which ended around 4:00am.

Who would I kiss? Why, a certain vampire, of course, though I’m happy to pucker up for crazy jerk as well. but I’ll tilt my head back for my hot and horny babe any day. But really… all I’ve ever wanted to was to gaze into the eyes of the man I love. To smile. Then to kiss him passionately.

One of the traditional every year is New Year’s resolution. But then, according to Eric Zorn,  making resolutions is a cleansing ritual of self assessment and repentance that demands personal  honesty and, ultimately, reinforces humility. Breaking them is part of the cycle.

As far as resolutions go, I’m pretty bad at  keeping them. This year my goal is to get serious about my weight. I do have some GOALS for the year however. I want this year to be more different. I want it to be more exciting, life changing, and above all…  want to look to a brighter future.

With the advent of new year, a new era begins and with it comes new hopes and new possibilities. Every year teaches us some of life’s most important lessons, and with that learning we put our step  forward into the new year.

kumakain ng worm eh…

Tulog ulit ako…

Gigising na lang ako
pag chicken na ang ulam!
