PERSONAL:
Since I just came back from Manila, my housemates requested for some local goods that we could not get here in Singapore. In my baggage were green mangoes for Mauie, peanut crackers for Che, peanut butter for Eidz, and chocolates for Esmie and Tin. As for the guys, I bought 2 packs of cigarettes because it’s cheaper in the Philippines. I wanted to get Ivan and Les an e cig each so they could stop injecting nicotine into their bodies, haha. As for myself, I bought A LOT of food including my favorite tocino and garlic longganisa! Good luck to my diet plans!
PERSONAL:
So, I just came from a 5-day vacation in Manila and it felt like a gained 10 pounds. It took all my strength to take the SG-bound aircraft again because I really miss being with my family and friends. If only I were rich, I’ll just buy gold coins and real estate properties so I’ll get even richer without having to work at all. Lol. But I had to face reality now and do my best here so I could fulfill all my dreams. Wish me luck! :)
I heard there’s an ongoing theatrical show featuring dinosaurs over at Adelaide, Australia. Dubbed “Walking with Dinosaurs”, the $20million production showcases 20 life-sized dinosaurs. Each large dinosaur weighs 1.6 tonnes and contains metres of hydraulic hose, fabric and foam, 200 litres of paint, seven kilowatts of power, a kilometre of cabling and six hydraulic motors. They run on rollerblade wheels with a driver and two puppeteers operating the head, tail, mouth and eyes.
I think this is a must-see entertainment venue for families!
PERSONAL:
I’m neither skinny nor tall but I still find it amusing to watch Tyra Bank’s America’s Next Top Model. The first few seasons were quite “meh” because it lacked the sophistication and prestige that the show have now.
My favorite season to date would be the 15th season where the winner would be featured in Vogue Italia, woot! A girl named Anne emerged as the Top Model with her height (maybe she took HGH supplements as kid? hehehe) and her amazingly photogenic face. I’m yet to watch season 16 and I hope it would be as good as its predecessor.
I want to share this hamburger patty recipe that I learned from the Food Channel. My friends and family love this so much because it’s home-made and really really delicious. Haha!
Hamburger Recipe (makes 4 patties)
1/2 kg Ground Beef
1 Tbsp A1 Steak Sauce
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 cup Bread Crumbs
1 Egg
Salt and Pepper to taste
Butter
Combine all ingredients, except for the butter, in a bowl and mix well. Make 4 equal partitions to create the patties. Take a hamburger portion and put a cube-sized slab of butter in the center of the portion before you work the meat into a tight bowl. Cup the meat between your hands to form it into a patty. Repeat the procedure with the remaining portions. You may opt to cook the burgers right away or store it in the freezer. I usually use electric grills for my burger as I’m not really a pro with charcoal-based grills. Either way, I’m sure this burger will be delicious!

Group-buying sites are so in right now that you could get services practically for free! I am such a groupon addict that my inbox is filled with updates every morning…and I make it a point to read each post because I don’t want to miss a good deal! In the past few days, I noticed that most deals are related to Mother’s Day celebration next week–discounted chocolates, enjoy a soothing spa, and send flowers for less are the common come-ons for every deal. really I hope I could find a good one for my mother even if I’m miles away from her!
PERSONAL:
I’m not really a fan of comics but I do enjoy watching the on-screen adaptations. A favorite would be Iron Man because the actors are great in portraying their roles. Just this weekend, I was able to catch the Hollywood adapation of Thor. I don’t know who he is but my boyfriend, who just celebrated his birthday, gave me *some* explanations during the movie. I didn’t have much expectations about the movie. I found it nice though, especially those scenes at Asgard with lots of metal buildings and gold. The funny scenes were a plus too! :)
