Home Cooking: On buying expiring food items

One of the things that I look out for whenever I go to the grocery are the markdown items. One, it's one way to stretch my budget and it actually helps me plan my menu since the dishes I would create would depend on the item that I just bought.

Grocery items that are usually on sale are those that are about to expire. But, did you know that they're still good for an extended period after the supposed expiry date?

Since I became a voluntary member in my various government statutory obligations, I've become a rather frequent visitor of the SSS site. This is mainly because I settle my contributions via Bayad Center, my favorite one-stop shop payment center. I go to the site to make sure my records are updated.

I was checking out the site when I came across an advisory regarding a new contribution table that will take effect in January 2014.

Wrapping christmas

With Christmas just around the corner, I'm one of those scrambling on my shopping this year. I usually start buying gifts in August, but just got so busy this year that I'm in a mad rush now.

Though it doesn't have to be Christmas, I like wrapping gifts. It's my instant stress buster, most especially after racking your brains out on what to get people and buying those items. Christmas becomes my favorite time of the year because of all the wrapping that I get to make.

ETCs: The madonna cone bra project

I'm not a big fan of wearing costumes. Unfortunately, I sort of have to wear one for an event. It took me a while to select one as I have no plans of going out of my way to spend a lot on something that I can only wear once.

I found this sketch for Madonna's Blond Ambition Concert in Paris. The inner portion of the costume is something that I can still wear. So, it's just a matter of looking for the cone bra...yeah, like it will be that easy.

I've gone around the metro and online looking for something at least close to it, and usually end up coming home empty-handed.

And then, one day, it dawned on me...my sister-in-law makes her own cosplay costumes! Why didn't I think of it before???  I contacted her and she was nice enough to take on the job.

Today, I just saw this article from Manila Bulletin dated 22 March (my birthday also) 2012. It featured the birthday cake that we had commissioned The Bunny Baker for A's dad.

The article may have been a few months old, but I couldn't help but feel more proud about this cake!

A is my Dashing Diva BFF (well, he's my BFF ...period). Since I treated him to a pedicure session, he likes going to the place. We've been waiting for the BGC Branch to open. The guard told us that they were still fixing the place up.
We were on our way home yesterday when he mentioned to me that there seems to be some movement where the new Dashing Diva site will be opened. When I looked up, it's already operational. Of course, I had something to be giddy about!

ETCs: Happy Chinese Valentine's Day

Today is the 7th day of the 7th lunar month. I received an email from China with a warm greeting for Chinese Valentine's Day. I was surprised because it didn't occur to me that they have one. Then again, if there's a Chinese New Year, why not have a Chinese Valentine's Day, right?

ETCs: Strong Rain, Strong Rain, Go Away (Really)

7/8/2012

It's been raining for 2 weeks and water is just everywhere! But today, Metro Manila is just surrounded with flood water. Dams have opened their gates to release excess water. Everything's fine from where we are, no flood, but I couldn't say the same to a lot of people in the metro today. From where we are, this is how the rains are pouring:

I used to have a lot of allergies growing up I've tried almost everything that the doctor could come up with. It doesn't get rid of it, but it does help relieve some of the manifestations. A few years after I graduated from college, I learned about a clinic in Ortigas that offers both eastern and western medicine. The clinic was called SynergyMed Center located at Discovery Suites. I don't think it still exists, but if you guys have an idea if they moved to a different location, do drop me a note.

I'm not into jewelry (A's very happy with that), but I have been blessed to be given a number of them for free on several occasions. Most, I've gifted to family and friends. I just realized that my jewelry gifts are all Pandora!
