Getting fat

I showed my fat belly to my husband today and he said I need to get back from eating rice alot. He is telling this things to me while I'm eating a plateful of rice. And I told him, I don't care as long as i'm happy and full i'll be fine. But in my mind, I really need to exercise and watch the food I eat. Most of the time, I always tempted my husband to go to fast food and buffets because sometimes I get tired from work to fix food. My husband told me that we need to minimize eating in fast foods and buffets but its hard to promise that. In the other hand, I don't want to get fat either..I really need to discipline myself about eating in a heathier way. Hope I can do it. Thats all I have today and thanks for listening my short story.

ginataang manok

Lately,im craving for filipino foods like ginataang manok. It's like i want to go back home and eat. While I'm at work, I asked my pinay friend about fixing a ginataang manok and she told me how. After my work shift, I bought some ingredients for ginataang manok. When I reached home i suddenly fixed ginataang manok and its really good. I ate rice with it. And while eating it I feel like i'm in the Philippines. It's really good. I ate two plates of rice with it. Yummy...

HAY BUHAY AMERICA TALAGA

A friend named "Maeng Ni" posted this. Lahat ng sinabi niya nakakatuwa at totoo.

Akala ng mga tao na nasa Pilipinas kapag nasa America ka akala nila madami ka ng pera. Ang totoo, madamikang utang, dahil credit card lahat ang gamit mo sa pagbili mo ng mga gamit mo. Kailangan mo gumamit ng credit card para magka-credit history ka, kase pag hindi ka umutang o wala kang utang, hindi ka pagkakatiwalaan ng mga kano . Pag wala kang credit card, ibig sabihin wala kang kapasidad magbayad.

Akala nila mayaman ka na kase may kotse ka na. Ang totoo, kapag hindi ka bumili ng kotse sa Americamaglalakad ka ng milya-milya sa ilalim ng init ng araw o kaya sa snow. Walang jeepney, tricycle o padyak sa America .

Akala nila masarap ang buhay dito sa America . Ang totoo, puro ka trabaho kase pag di ka nagtrabaho, wala kang pangbayad ng bills mo sa kotse, credit card, ilaw, tubig, insurance, bahay at iba pa. Hindi ka na pwedeng tumambay sa kapitbahay kase busy din sila maghanap buhay pangbayad ng bills nila.
Akala nila masaya ka kase nagpadala ka ng picture mo sa Disneyland , Seaworld, Six Flags, Universal Studios at ibapang attractions. Ang totoo, kailangan mo ngumiti kase nagbayad ka ng $70+ para makarating ka dun, kailangan mo na naman ang 10 hours na sweldo mong pinangbayad sa ticket.
Akala nila malaki na ang kinikita mo kase dolyar na sweldo mo. Ang totoo, malaki pagpinalit mo ng peso, perodolyar din ang gastos mo sa America. Ibig sabihin ang dolyar mong kinita sa presyong dolyar mo din gagastusin. Ang P15.00 na sardinas sa Pilipinas $1.00 sa America (40 Cents lang sa Saipan) , ang isang pakete ng sigarilyo sa pilipinas P40.00, saAmerica $ 6.50, ang upa mo sa bahay na P10,000 sa Pilipinas, sa America $1,000++.
Akala nila buhay milyonaryo ka na kase ang ganda ng bahay at kotse mo. Ang totoo milyon ang utang mo. Ang bago mong kotse 5 taon mong huhulugan. Ang bahay 30 taon mong huhulugan. Ibig sabihin, alipin ka ng bahay at kotse mo.
(Not to mention the GAS Price average cost: $3.95 per liter - not gallon ha)
Madaming naghahangad na makarating sa America . Lalo na mga nurses, mahirap maging normal na manggagawa sa Pilipinas. Madalas pagod ka sa trabaho. Pag dating ng sweldo mo, kulang pa sa pagkain mo. Pero ganun din sa ibang bansa katulad ng America .Hindi ibig sabihin dolyar na angsweldo mo, yayaman ka na, kailangan mo ding magbanat ng buto para mabuhay ka sa ibang bansa.
Isang malaking sakripisyo ang pag alis mo sa bansangpinagsilangan at malungkot iwanan angmga mahal mo sa buhay.Hindi pinupulotang pera dito o pinipitas. Hindi akonaninira ng pangarap, gusto ko lang buksan ang bintana ng katotohanan.

Heritage Singers

I just want to share this picture of me and my friend ruth with the Heritage Singers last May 10,2008 in Kettering,Ohio. Heritage Singers are the popular singers in our denomination which is Seventh-Day Adventist Church. They write and record religious songs. I got a copy of their CD's and DVD's and I really love their voices. Before when I'm still in the Philippines, i've been watching the recorded concert that they have taken here in states. And for that I really want to see them in person. But being in the Philippines, its impossible to meet them in person. Well, God answered my prayers and He gave me a chance to be here in states and last May 10,2008 God gave me a wonderful and unforgettable moment of meeting the Heritage Singers. I and ruth have a little conversation with them and they know some tagalog (Philippine National Language) words and i'm very surprised upon hearing that from them. I will keep this picture and take care of it for a unforgettable experience that I have with the Heritage Singers.
