Giving A Recipe Book As Wedding Present

Nhil — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 15:03:07 +0000

Are you looking for a unique way of giving someone a gift for his wedding? Well, instead of giving the usual presents, giving a recipe book is something that they will definitely treasure.

Of course it is important to ask the types of food that he eats most of the time. This is a good way to get the right recipe book for him. But if you already know what he wants then choosing for the best recipe book is going to be easier.

This will help him to prepare great food that his wife will definitely love, and that is something that can definitely make their married life sweeter everyday.

What’s For Dinner?

Nhil — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 10:04:42 +0000

If you ask me, I can do without dinner, but if I work for extended hours, I cannot help but to prepare some more food during midnight.

Do you have the same tendency if you skip dinner? If you do then you should prepare fruits in season or slices of bread to fight hunger pangs. On my end, I prepare soup for two so I can share the same hot treat to my husband, as he is also working until the wee hours of the morning.

I just watched The Pursuit of Happyness and I was so touched on how Will Smith’s character went on roller coaster. He did his best to get what he want and he wanted it so hard that nothing can stop him from doing so.

Then I have found out that there’s this video compilation of his wisdom mentioned in his interviews. Check it out and let me know what part of it best affects you as a person

Update on My Husband’s Condition

Nhil — Fri, 28 May 2010 17:51:13 +0000

If you have been following my posts lately, you would notice how I beg off from blogging a few days ago because my husband suffered from kidney stone related pain.

I am so happy that it is not something that I was scared of because he used to tell me that some of his friends needed a joint pain relief. But nonetheless, he still needed help so we went back to the hospital for more than a week to perform series of tests, and when we finally get the result, it was confirmed that the problem was on his kidney stones.

Aside from the usual medicines he took, I also asked him to tell me if we need to have his joints checked, good thing that was out of the story. Now, he is trying his best to at least improve on his condition by eating properly, getting some exercise and live healthier this time.

I’m watching The Pursuit of Happyness trailer here in Youtube and will follow it up later by watching (hopefully) the whole film.

I have heard a lot of reviews that this is a very inspiring movie, unfortunately I missed watching this before so I am trying my luck this time.

How about you? Have you watched this movie? What do you remember about it?

Will Cook Pochero for Husband Tonight

Nhil — Sat, 15 May 2010 08:49:33 +0000

I will definitely cook this yummy Pochero recipe for my husband.

But I would have to use pork instead of beef since I haven’t gotten back to the grocery after a week. So I will just make use of what I have here.

Of course, just like any other tomato sauce inspired recipe, this will be another great chance to appeal to my husband’s stomach and definitely make him fall in love with me all the more.

Lago del Rey CamSur Dream Vacation

Nhil — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 11:36:49 +0000

When I read Sis Mauie’s Lago del Rey experience, I suddenly planned on going there before the year ends. Maybe we can tweak a bit on our venue for our honeymoon.

Why did I fall in love with the place? Well, aside from the truth that I am a true blooded Bicolana by birth, I also wanted for my husband- to- be and I to have another way to spend time together.

We already invaded Sumaguing Cave, went to the cold Tagaytay and spent some relaxing time in Cebu.

In case this CamSur adventure will push through, this will be the first time for us to finally ‘test the waters‘

I am so excited. Have you been to Lago del Rey CamSur lately? Please share your experience when you went there.

Hoax on Former President Cory Aquino's Death Report

Nhil — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 10:06:26 +0000

Have you heard about the hoax circulating Former President Corazon Aquino has already died?

Supporters are still trying to tie a yellow ribbon in support for Cory Aquino’s speedy recovery so news circulating that the Former President is dead should stop.

I just find it very insensitive when other people are trying to mix up everything that they get from all sources and trying to make some news out of it. It is just so plain irresponsible that people are starting to pick it up and spread the word around because the ‘news’ started to spread like wildfire.

Here’s a report about it from Inquirer.net and GMA News online.

After I scanned both news, I felt bad for the Aquino family. I know that everyone wanted to know every development on her condition but it will also make matters worse for them because a lot also has been trying to take advantage of the situation.

Please do not believe every detail that you will get just because you wanted to get the ‘scoop’. If you haven’t confirmed the information from their authorized representative, better stop speculating because you are just hurting the family’s feelings in the process. Let us respect their privacy and let them be the ones to provide us information as soon as they have time to do so.

PDEA Agent's Daughter Drugged, Raped or What?

Nhil — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:42:28 +0000

Yesterday, I heard about the PDEA (Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency) Agent’s daughter that was allegedly drugged and raped by members of a certain syndicate.

I was alarmed with the news because this does not only warns us that these things can happen in real life (as some told me that it was like a scene in an action flick) but also a reminder that these bad guys can really do everything worse when provoked.

I tuned in to the news on TV, waited for some updates while I am updating my blogs. Still the same thing featured in the next few hours, same headline was given so I thought, this is for real.

Then the bomb came last night as I watched TV Patrol World. The latest development on the case was that there was no drug or rape case in the first place because that didn’t happen. Then they rolled out the news clip informing the viewers that according to the sworn statements of five minor teens (all guys), they allegedly invited the teenage girl to have some chill time and was unable to go back home after few hours after she got drunk.

To cut the long story short, there was nothing to be bothered about. Just a ‘simple’ case of minors that had a great time, without giving regard to the consequences of doing such.

I’m sorry to say this but I really feel that this should not happen again. I mean, a lot of people were alarmed and bothered, especially the parents who are known to be that protective of their children.

Now that this ‘development’ has been aired, would you think that this will lessen the threat that the parents are feeling of the environment their children are all in?

I know this is somewhat a case of chicken and egg question. Which comes first, for the parents to really impose some rules for their kid’s safety, or for these kids/ teens to practice self discipline in their dealings with other people?

Who was to blame? I don’t know with them. But what I am sure of is that it would have been better next time if these young boys and girls will impose a kind of self discipline among themselves so they won’t drag themselves in these kinds of trouble.
