My Baby Sister's Birthday!

Yesterday, September 5, 2008 was my baby sister's 15th birthday. I couldn't believe that she grows so fast like that in 15 years. I mean, I was the one who took care of her since she was a baby and now she's a young, adorable, sweet teenage little girl who enjoys her life. Again, I am not with her to celebrate her special day but all my prayers are with her.

I miss her so much that now I am working and earning, I wanted to make her happy someday. She loves shopping so I might grab her and drag her to buy all what she wants the time we will visit Philippines someday. So, just hang in there my baby sister. This blog is for you and I wish you all the happiness in life on your birthday. Take care always and happy, happy birthday!

21 Things Girls Don't Realize

1) Guys may be flirting around all day, but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about...

2) Guys are more emotional than you think, if they loved you at one point, it'll take them a lot longer then you think to let you go, and it hurts every second that they try.

3) Guys go crazy over a girl's smile!

4) A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.

5) Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what? uh... never mind..." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.

6) If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice.

7) A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.

8) Guys love you more than you love them!!!

9) Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. They rarely use beautiful or gorgeous. If a guy uses that, he loves you or likes you a whole heck of a lot.

10) If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.

11) If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and he is really thinking about something.

12) When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is! Guys rarely say that...

13) When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me."

14) If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up.

15) When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking

something.

16) Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.

17) A guy would give the world to be able to read a girl's mind for a day.

18) No guy can handle all his problems on his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it.

19) Not all guys are rude!!! Just because ONE is RUDE doesn't mean he represents ALL of them.

20) When a guy sacrifices his sleep and health just to talk to you, he really likes you and wants to be with you as much as possible.

21) Even if you dump a guy months ago and he loved you he probably still does and if he had one wish it would be you to come back into his life

Balance Transferred!

At last! After 1 month of waiting to collect all my earnings from blogging, I finally transferred what I have earned from June 18 to July 31 to my bank account. It has been a great way and a lot of patience to wait for something that you know you have worked hard for it and in return, you will get all the fruits of your labor. I have enjoyed blogging, sharing my thoughts was like fun and blogging became my comfort zone for everything. Whenever I am happy, lonely, excited and curious I write everything here. All the words I type or write will be buried in this modern and personal journal. This became my best friend and confidant because I know I can always tell and share anything.

I have waited 1 month to get paid and now, I am transferring all my earnings and have leave few cents from my paypal account. I was extra careful to do it just to avoid some confusions and theft. I made sure that it will come directly to my bank account and wait for few days until I can finally enjoy what I have earned. I had fun and I encourage everyone to join the blogging world.

Too Much To Bear!

Why are some people are difficult to handle? Difficult to understand and hard to please? I have so much pain in my heart now. I think I am too young to handle things like this. I need the support of my husband and I just need him at my side right now. I am missing home. I am missing the laughter and giggles of my 2 sisters and the love and care of my mother. I guess this is the time that I am feeling homesick and missing their faces, their warm touch and hear their voices. Yes, I have been away from them since I graduated from College but I was just living and working in Makati, Philippines which is just 1 hour and 45 minutes by plane away from home.

I got stuck from my new job lately and have no time to give them a call. At least my sister - Haide and I still have the time to chat once in a while if she's off from work. If I will call home they might be out and on their way to school already. I just couldn't find the time to call them and doesn't even know what time they are all home. So that whenever I call, I can hear their voice one by one and screaming at the top of their lungs just because they heard my voice too and they miss me so much. I felt it, and it's right here in my heart. I know I am missing home so bad... I just wanted to be with them for now in just a quick snap of my fingers, having a good dinner, shopping together, sharing stories and laughing together while we are all seated in our cozy living room.

Great American Seafood Recipe

Growing up in a tropical climate was fun. It was a lot of great pleasures that I have experienced. I lived with my parents near a beach resort. It is a walking distance from our house. There's a nice seafood restaurant inside the beach resort. It was a lovely place to eat, to relax and enjoy the scenery while eating my favorite seafood. Seaweed salad for appetizers, succulent king crabs and big shrimps with delicious sauce. It was all yummy! As I have wrote in my previous blog, I made a very simple seafood recipe as a theme for our New Year's eve celebration. It was a shrimp with broccoli and pineapple. Toss it with full of love and sweetness.

The great American seafood cook off is celebrating 5 years of showcasing domestic and sustainable seafood recipes. There were 5 chefs that were given several challenges in creating their dish for the final round of competition. First, the dishes had to contain one of two mystery ingredients, either Southwest Airline Peanuts or select brews from Michelob Brewing Co. Next, keeping it healthy and simple, the dish’s ingredients had to represent all five food groups and be a dish that even the most harried home chefs could prepare.

I have chosen the recipe - Pan Roasted Glazed Rockfish with Peas and Carrots of Chef Tafari Campbell from Maryland. I think it is the best of all because it is simple and healthy. The fish is roasted and he added some vegetables in it, the peas and carrots that made the dish looks good. It is also easy to prepare and it is great dish for a family who's looking for something new but delicious. If I were to create this kind of dish, I would follow the steps in creating the dish and will add colorful bell peppers to add a little bit of spice to get a knock-out taste then I am ready for the cook off challenge. There are lots of benefits you can get from eating seafood such as protein, that builds your muscles strong and healthy and iodine that help prevents goiter and helps your immune system.
