Nope, hindi yan part ng menu ng fave resto ko, hindi rin yan ang listahan ng mga paborito kong pagkain. Listahan yan ng mga so far eh alam ko nang lutuin :D

I just recently discovered that I enjoy cooking. Sabi nga ni Meyms, cooking is therapeutic. Ang stressful lang is thinking of what to cook and what to buy pag asa palengke na. I tend to forget kasi what I need and then realize when I reach home na may nalimutan pala ako. But I found a way to avoid this -- bili na lang ako nang bili ng alam kong kakailanganin ko soon para di na ko makalimot :p

This morning I was watching a show that featured the many different ways of cooking sinigang, and I think that will be my next project. Mukang madali lang naman but I've never tried cooking it yet kasi I don't know what to put para umasim siya. Monmon kasi doesn't like using sinigang mix, he wants it old school. Eh saan naman ako hahanap ng sampaloc? Wala pa ko nakikita so far sa NGI market. Bahala na :p

Alamat na din sa family namin ang molo soup. Every time may get-together since I was a toddler and maybe even before pa, hindi pwedeng walang molo. It's easy naman to cook pero a little ma-effort to prepare. Imagine making siomai. And then you put it in a soup. Madali lang naman no? Tamad lang ako :p

Another one of my favorites is my ate's emobotido with tartar sauce. Yun ang ma-effort talaga. Haha. I'd like to learn how to make embotido din, but maybe reserve it just for special occasions lang. Hehe.

Lastly, Monmon's mom and my ate #2 make good chicken cordon bleu. Yummy to, lalo na with the sauce, yuuuummmm! I think Mon already knows how to make it, kaya sige ipaubaya ko na sa kanya ang pag-career dito. Hahaha. Bahala na lang ako sa white sauce :p

Sorry puro food itech, obvious ba what my new hobby is? Cooking and eating :p 

A little kwento na lang, I'm now on my 6th month with bebe Yohann a.k.a Moymoy. I am now a whopping 135 lbs. and feeling chubby everywhere. I'm also manas especially sa hands and feet. My feet are normally swollen in the afternoon when I get tired from all the day's work, pero I just keep them up before sleeping and they feel better na. But my hands are a different case. Every morning I wake up with manhid hands, lalo na yung right one. They're puffy and parang dinikit sa ice for a long time, ganun ang feeling. It's hard for me now to grasp things, text long messages, hold the phone to my ear for a long time, cut things with a knife or scissors, and even take a bath. My right hand is often weak I can't use it as much as I used to. Ewan ko bakit, binigyan na ko ng OB ng vitamins for the nerves. I guess I'll just have to get used to it for a few more months.

I'm already counting the days 'til I resign from work. I have until end of Feb. na lang, and after that I'll be home everyday na. I can think of a lot of things to do, pero pag asa bahay na ko I can't do everything naman. Like the other day, I planned to clean the house, do the laundry and iron our clothes for the week. The only thing I did was clean downstairs and wash only half of the laundry. Oh well, I guess ok na rin yon so I won't run out of things to do pag nag-resign na ko. But, I still need to look for work that I can do at home. Help me pray that I find one soon :)

I'll be busy this year with a lot of kids -- my own and others included. Mader invited me to work again with the foundation and I'm excited to be back to where I used to be. I don't know yet exactly what I'll be doing but just being with the kids is enough to excite me. Naisip ko rin, this will be a good start for Yohann, habang bebe pa sha ma-expose na sha sa ministry with me. Hihi. Nakakatuwa lang.

Wala na kong ma-chika, next time ulit at manhid na my hands. Meryenda muna ako ha! :D
