A Big Zit During our Family Photo Shoot

Jan 14th 2010Thoughts

Looking at the New Year family photos was a lot of fun but I have to say I was disappointed with how I looked because I got this big zit on the middle part of my chin. It is obvious in the photos and it even looked like a big red mole, 🙁

I had to read about these things again in an acnezine review just like back when I was in high school not too long ago (tee-hee).

Looking back, I can say I never really had problems with pimples except on those days when the monthly period shows up and I get these really big ones. Ugh. I still do get them and I don’t know if I prefer one on my chin or inside my ear. Argh!

For me this is best served with soy sauce with chili, hot steaming rice, steamed kangkong and a glass of ice cold Coke 🙂

Bittersweet Day

Jan 3rd 2010Thoughts

We went to home to pay our last respects to our granduncle who passed away.

While spending time with my relatives yesterday, I saw boxes and boxes of tiles in my grandaunt’s kitchen. I thought these will be used for the cemetery but it seems like they were building an apartment complex to be used for renting.

Anyway…

It was a bittersweet day for me, listening to my grandaunt ask me to stay for lunch when the day was almost over makes me long to cry in front of her. I can’t of course because I know that if I do so, all the more that she will feel sad.

I do not particularly like the thought of getting old but I know all of us will go that way. I know I have to make the most while I still got time to enjoy life and living it to the fullest.

On our way home, we did something unusual. I was not able to enjoy it the way I would have wanted to but the fact that the children loved what we did makes me happy too.

Tuna Steak

Dec 11th 2009Food and Dining & Food Friday & Photos

foodfriday

Tuna steak marinated in soy sauce, ground pepper, lemon juice, dried rosemary and oyster sauce, served with fried egg over steaming rice.

Tuna Steak

Perfect for a late night breakfast dinner.

A combo of these things with a variation with the tuna steak is something I prepare for hubby whenever he gets home late from work.

I am not fond nights when he gets home late because I fear for his safety. Plus I have to think of ways to get rid of dark circles under my eyes the next day 😀
