POSITIVITY MONDAY

Another week, another great morning! For today's positive vibes, let me share with you the positive thought which will be with me every single day.
 

                                                     Spread this wonderful phrase around!

Positivity MONDAY

Yesterday ended last night. Every day is a new beginning. Learn the skill of forgetting. And move on.
Norman Vincent Peale

How I wish I could learn the skill of forgetting and moving on. I know in time.... i will. I have actually started... now.

Here are 5 books I bought and have not started reading yet. One of the books in this picture was purchased in July 2009. Imagine that! This YELLOW Emily Giffin book - Baby Proof, has been untouched for 6months now. Unbelievable! I have a lot of catching up to do.. I better start one book now. As in, NOW! 

Sunday Morning

Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would bring me back to you
That someday it would bring me back to you

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on sunday morning
And I never want to leave

Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on sunday morning
And I never want to leave

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do

Sunday morning rain is falling and I'm calling out to you

Singing someday it'll bring me back to you

Find a way to bring myself home to you

And you may not know
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow?

--- Maroon 5

Apple - iPAD

I woke up this early morning for an early appointment with the doctor and said "Good Morning" to my plurk buddies. There were a few who exchanged pleasantries and then some.... One thing that brought me to my senses on this early morning were posts and comments about the new Apple iPAD. Whoah! I wondered what and how it looked like so I researched and found this.  iPAD - The best way to experience the web, email,  photos, and video. 

PRICE: via Engadget.com

It starts at $499 for 16GB, 32GB for $599, and $699 64GB. Adding 3G costs a $130 per model, so the most expensive model (64GB / 3G) is $829. The WiFi-only model will ship in 60 days, and the 3G models will come in 90.

*elevated bp now... hehe....

I just find the name weird... nothing else..

What's for Lunch?

I'm up early today. My plan  - "ME" time. Pure bliss! One tick off my agenda for this day is to cook early so I could leave early. At 6:30am, I am busy at the kitchen preparing lunch - Pakbet - for hubby and people here at home. How I love this dish. I'm partial to salty food, hence the love for this. I just so love the fact that hubby and I were able to vegetables for this dish at the weekend market here at our village clubhouse yesterday. Very seldom do I find the veggies I need - round eggplants, baby ampalaya, baby sitaw (is there such a thing? our househelp calls it AYAP), and bunga ng malunggay (not the leaves). Oh, btw, we were surprised to find out that a kilo of cauliflower was for only 50pesos and a kilo of broccoli for 60pesos. Of course, I bought a kilo of each. This week's gonna be a "veggie week" for us. Healthy!

Let me share my simple version of the Pakbet we all love here at home.

pork belly
garlic
onions
tomatoes
ginger
bagoong na isda
baby sitaw
baby ampalaya
bunga ng malunggay
round eggplants

1. Saute garlic, onion, ginger, tomatoes.
2. Add in pork belly. I wait for it to turn into golden brown.
3. Add water and half of the bagoong isda. Bring to boil.
4. Add in vegetables. I do it in order - bunga ng malunggay, ampalaya, talong, and sitaw.
5. Boil. Check if veggies are okay. Taste. Done!

Bunga ng Malunggay

Why are they asking me to claim my blog again? I remember posting something here a month ago so I could claim my blog. Then, another? Oh well..... here's what I should post to claim my blog:

an euphonious keeps you smart

 Now, what does that mean? Euphonius means "Pleasing or agreeable to the ear."  Arrrgh!

Food for Thought

It's Monday once again. It's the start of another brand new week. I am hoping that we all achieve whatever plans there are for this week and enjoy life to the fullest. And I leave you with this:

Work hard at what you like to do and try to overcome all obstacles
Laugh at your mistakes and praise yourself for learning from them
Pick some flowers and appreciate the beauty of nature
Say hello to strangers and enjoy the people you know
Don't be afraid to show your emotions laughing and crying make you feel better
Love your friends and family with your entire being they are the most important part of your life
Feel the calmness on a quiet sunny day
Find a rainbow and live your world of dreams always remember life is better than it seems
