Been trying to bake new goodies to give as our Christmas gifts. Yeah, frugal Christmas it is. Again.

Of course, I get to eat what I bake and needless to say, I got four very satisfied family members who love to gobble up the goodies.

So is it any surprise that I look like I am in dire need of the best weight loss supplements?

Chocolate surprise cookies which were good especially when eaten warm. Great with coffee or milk.

Christmas 2010 is just around the corner and a lot of children are already preparing their wish lists for Santa their parents to read.

I remember that Christmas movie where parents were fighting for that one last most coveted toy of the year.For our children, we got no problem with their wish list because they get to choose the gift they like and we usually agree, providing the amount is not an exaggeration.

So far, this year’s list has: Ben10 watch, Elmo blanket for kids, 3D puzzles, toy cars among others.

I know, boring but hey, it is better they like what they get than ignoring the gift after opening 🙂

Have you tried Yakiniku beef? It looks like bacon, only beef. We absolutely super duper love it!

That’s my Yakiniku beef and egg sandwich (I prefer it a bit burnt to remove excess fat) and vegetable salad. Sunquick orange juice to wash down the food. Yum.

I know, this has fats attached to it but I don’t really eat it because it’s “bawal” bummer. The kids have this as their lunch. Here is my Yakiniku beef and mushroom and what I make for them ala-Jo****** beef and mushroom meal 🙂

Here by the way is a controversial issue about Yakiniku beef but not about the quality but something that involved a plagiarist 😉

I was  looking for articles about custom laptops when friends alerted me about the controversial issue.  Hmph.

Mahirap kaya magluto at kumuha ng magandang picture tapos they will say these are theirs.

Two weeks ago, we bought an induction stove. While the product was being process in the payment section, I looked around the products on display.

I just love (window) for small appliances 🙂

There’s the water kettle (hubby said that’s not a priority anymore because he have the new stove), the bigger mixer (I got a small one that looks a bit inefficient for me, gah!) and scales. Scales sporting new look for there are no more needles indicating the weight but digital readings.

I said I want one like that so that I can monitor my weight and weight loss (if ever, wishful thinking of course) but the kids kidded me: I might break the small glass platform where I’m supposed to stand on. Grrr…

Who doesn’t love weddings?

I get excited whenever wedding invitations find their way to us with our names written on special envelopes that seem to say “You are special and you are invited”.

Getting married these days seems like a breeze with all those wedding coordinators doing almost everything for the couple who are about to tie the knot. But of course, all these services equates to lots and lots of moolah.

My youngest child once asked me: “Which is important the sacrament of matrimony or the wedding party?”

I hope those who are planning their weddings know the right answer to this question.
