Are you on a healthy diet? Honestly, I've always been wanting to have a strict healthy diet - meaning no junkfood. But I can't seem to get away from pizza and chocolates.. (who couldn't right?) I do eat veggies and stuff but my daily intake is usually the "unhealthy" food. Can you blame me? Those are the ones that are just delish!
I got tagged by the Purpled Sky (I always wanted to see a sky colored purple.. its one of my fav colors... hehehe)..

I haven't been the busy blogger/plurker/worker this weekend.. cause I have been too "busy" running around the city trying out new food (heheh).. I still have a lot of blog rounds to do and plurks too (my karma has been on a steady decline this past few days). Surprisingly I'm now finding plurk a bit dull.. hehehe if you're a plurk addict don't bite my head off ok?! I think the "fun" is just starting to wear off..
Anywho... what I did from Friday night until now (its Sunday night, in case your wondering) was hopping from one restaurant to the other (trying out anything from the menus that catches our eyes.. hehe) I might do another blog post about this (if I'm not too tired or too busy..) I've been running around the city this weekend (with E.M.A. of course.. ehheh) and haven't been online since Friday I think. I just went online tonight to check on a few things...
Let me just post this new conversation at dNeero... and I'll bid you all a good night.. :)
I am not really into sports or anything of that sort (I didn't even watch the Olympic games), but dang!, Michael Phelps is just an incredible athlete. He's a 14-time Olympic gold medalist and he holds around 7 world records in swimming. Now that's a great athlete! To think he was diagnosed with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) when he was still young, and only started swimming just to provide an outlet for his energy.
Yey! Got another award! Received this one from Zerisse. I really like receiving awards and posting it here for all the world to see.. hehe
The rules of the award are:
1. The winner can put the logo on her blog.
2. Link the person you received your award from.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Put links of those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs of the people you’ve nominated.
hmmm.. who will I pass this on to?? Z already nominated two of the blogs I usually visit and I cant send this back to her too (hehe).. So these are the blogs that "I ♥ so much". Check out their blogs and see why they are one of my daily drops... :)

These past few days have been so bad for me. I think it started last Friday afternoon. I was in a hurry to finish up work so I can go out and buy some stuff and pay some bills.. to my dismay my salary hasn't been transferred to my bank account yet.. :( so much for shopping... anyway, when I got home I tried to call E.M.A. but there was something wrong with Sun Cellular's network. I was able to call him though around late in the evening. Maybe it was just a bad day for me...
Saturday went by without any hassles, I even bought a few things and clothes.. teehee... and paid some bills. Now because of my shopping spree last Saturday (it was raining then), I had a pretty high fever came Sunday. I just ordered some pizza from Greenwhich 'cause I was too tired to cook (my bro has a Greencard so free pizza for us.. yipppee!!!).
Then came Monday.. You see Mondays in our company is so so busy. I have to make A LOT of reports, set up some tasks for the week, blah blah blah... AND I don't have an internet connection.. WTF?! I called up my customer service and guess what? NOBODY ANSWERED?!! WTF? A 24-hour Customer Service hotline and nobody answers?!! What the heck is wrong with my ISP?? I was able to work for only 2 hours. Gawd! Globelines really suck! Big time! I was fuming mad the whole day. How am I supposed to work now?! After a day of frustration and helplessness, I just broke down and cried. E.M.A. had to console me. hehe
Then came Tuesday, still no internet connection... tsk tsk tsk.. Now I'm really mad at Globelines! If I'll just sit around and mope nothing 
good will happen. I decided to go the nearest net cafe so I would be able to work. They charged Php20/hour, now that takes a big chunk on my budget since I'm working for 8 hours. Globelines should better give me rebate for this.. tsk tsk tsk..
Now working in a net cafe is pretty difficult. It was crammed with people, students mostly trying to make their school papers, projects, etc. After working for about 4 hours, I was having a terrible headache already. Four more hours staying in that cafe would probably kill me. But I decided to stay, naturally, all for the glory of work. shesh!!! After 8 hours of trying to work there, with head throbbing, I felt feverish. Now this is just what I need! A freakin fever?! So I went home, decided not work in a net cafe again. And prayed to God my connection will be back sooooooon.
Well... my prayers had been answered! I was all set to buy this prepaid Smartbro (another ISP) just incase I won't have a connection today. Well it's running again. Thank God! :) Now I have to make up for my lost hours last Monday. But what the heck, at least now I'm working at home.
I'm still buying that prepaid Smartbro though, Globe is just sooooo UNRELIABLE!
whew! This was a pretty loooong rant.. heheh now I have to get back to work.. :)
Have you ever purchased anything online? I contemplated in buying this cute pair of sandals at eBay before. I have small feet (around size 5 or 6) and buying a good pair without trying it on might be a little risky for me. But what the heck after thinking on it over and over I decided to just do it. I bid on the item, hoping I would get it while hoping against it at the same time. Sounds weird right? Unfortunately for me, or was it fortunately, somebody outbid me. So I figured that wasn't for me. Or maybe that wouldn't fit.. who knows...??
It's kinda hard for me to trust someone I barely know. What if the seller is just fooling around and won't ship me the item, right? I keep thinking of all those what ifs and finally decided buying online is definitely a no-no for me. I'm the type of person that really has to examine the product thoroughly before purchasing it. Call me OCD or whatever but that's just me..
So how about you? Have you tried purchasing online?
This is just too funny.. I have to share it..
My dog, Odie, does the same thing. I haven't caught her on video yet. Someday I will.. heehhe
Ok so I made my very first bicol express yesterday. It wasn't really that spicy because I only put in a few chili peppers just in case, but anyway it was still delish. hehehe
When I cook, I'm not really particular in measurement. I'm too lazy to do that. ehheh So I do measuring by just looking (or plainly taking a wild estimate). If your interested to know how to cook this, I'm sharing this recipe (actually I found this online and made a few changes)...
Ingredients:
Pork (cut in 1/2 inch slices)
Cooking oil/Vegetable oil
Chopped onion
Chopped garlic
Freshly chopped ginger
Chopped chili peppers (depends on you how spicy you want in to be)
Fresh green peppers (sliced diagonally)
Red peppers (sliced diagonally)
Coconut cream
Salt (to taste)
Cooking Instructions:
1. Heat cooking oil in a skillet. Then add the pork slices and cover until lightly brown.
2. In another pan, saute garlic and onions in oil.
3. Add in ginger and cooked pork.
4. Just stir for about 5 min.
5. Add in the chopped chili peppers and stir until the pork is covered with the mixture.
6. Pour in the coconut cream. Then add the sliced red and green peppers.
7. Continue cooking for about 20 mins or until the sauce thickens.
8. Add some salt if necessary.
Note: Add chilis and peppers according to desired spiciness.
Another note: as you can see I didn't add any bagoong 'cause I'm allergic to that. You can add bagoong if you want too. :)
I found this cool site (courtesy of dNeero) about Visual Talking. Visual talking is all about making a statement through photos. Try looking at this...
As you can see each photo represents a word or a few words. Honestly, some of the photos doesn't makes sense.. hehehe why don't you try it out, and see what you can come up... :)
On the first day of training for parachute jumping, a blonde listened intently to the instructor. He told them to start preparing for landing when they are at 300 feet.
The blonde asked, "How am I supposed to know when I'm at 300 feet?"
"That's a good question. When you get to 300 feet, you can recognize the faces of people on the ground."
After pondering his answer, she asked, "What happens if there's no one there I know?"

A blonde and a redhead met for dinner after work and were watching the 6 o'clock news. A man was shown threatening to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge. The blonde bet the redhead $50 that he wouldn't jump, and the redhead replied, "I'll take that bet!"
Anyway, sure enough, he jumped, so the blonde gave the redhead the $50 she owned. The redhead said, "I can't take this, you're my friend." The blonde said, "No. A bet's a bet."
So the redhead said, "Listen, I have to admit, I saw this one on the 5 o'clock news, so I can't take your money."
The blonde replied, "Well, so did I, but I never thought he'd jump again!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a brunette and a blonde hanging over the edge of a cliff off a piece of rope. They realize that the rope will break if one of them doesn't let go and they will both fall to their deaths. The brunette starts this big heartwarming speech about how she is going to sacrifice herself. At the end of the speech the blonde starts clapping.
Have you been to the SU Portal West Building? If not, then you should check that out. It's part of Silliman University's Twin Portal Building Project. The SUACONA (Silliman University Alumni Council of North America) has spearheaded a project called Tree of Life. It's a fund raiser of the council to build one of the two buildings located in the SU Gates of Knowledge. If you go inside the Portal West building you will see this.
A photo of the South Tree in the Portal West. Some of the leaves already haveWell August here is pretty busy, with the upcoming Founder's Day celeb, people are kinda running around with the preparations. I'm kinda one those people though. Just because I'm mostly at home doesn't mean I' m not busy right? :) I'm stuck at home doing my usual work, plus doing some errands for my parents - they are so busy with their projects and the opening of SUAM (that's Silliman University Anthropology Museum, just so you'll know), exhibits and stuff, and a "good" daughter that I am still manages to offer a helping hand - despite all these work my boss just seem too eager to unload into my hands. hmph.. but I'm happy.. a bit crazy now, but still happee happee... somehow I can still insert a few minutes of blogging and plurking.. heheheh (that takes my mind off the truckloads of work that still needs to be done)..
So what's up with you this August??
Here's something I learned from dNeero - celiac disease. According to my trusty friend Wiki, "is an autoimmune disorder of small intestine the that occurs in genetically predisposed people of all ages from middle infancy." Somehow it can interfere the absorption of nutrients from the food we eat. People who have this disease cannot tolerate gluten. When people with this disease take in food containing gluten their immune system responds by damaging the small intestine.
Just thinking of diseases makes me sad and weak. Hmph... enough of this...
Here's another overdue meme from Zr. hehe I was planning to do some extra work today, but I'm now in a very sour mood, so I decided to do some blog hoppin' and some plurkin' today.. :) to lighten up my mood..

2. Add your blog to the list. Feel free to add all your other blogs.

2. I was a bit feverish. I've been feeling that way for a couple of days now. There must be a bug flying around and I caught it PLUS my sinusitis just made it worse.. Aaarrgghhh kill me now!!!
3. I was contemplating on what to do this weekend. I still have no plans yet. Somebody's not coming home, so I'm free to do whatever I want this weekend.
Today:
4. We'll my day isn't over yet... but I woke up happy and this morning.. I'm usually grumpy at mornings, but today, I was happy.
5. Now, I'm in a sour mood. In just a couple of hours I turned from light and bubbly into dark and gloomy.. all because of this stupid argument with ehem.. you-know-who... and now I'm actually drying my tears...
6. I'm planning to go buy some new clothes this afternoon, maybe this will perk me up.. hopefully...
