Na-karma Sa Daiso?

I wanted to buy a pair of affordable jelly shoes because they are so comfy. It has been a long time since I wore a pair and I miss wearing them. So after my appointment at the dental clinic, I decided to go to Starmall and check if they have the jelly shoes. On my way to the mall, I remembered that I needed a new sponge for my pressed powder. Since sa Shangri-la ako dumaan papunta sa Starmall, naisipan kong pumunta sa Daiso and browsed the shelves for the sponge. Naalala ko kasi na meron sila nung maramihan na sponge sa iisang pack.  I saw two kinds of packs with lots of sponges in it. One with ten pieces of square sponges and the other with twenty-five pieces in different sizes, shapes and colors.

I contemplated which of the two should I buy. I'm not really a make-up guru and don't need a lot. Both packs cost Php 88. Pero parang lugi naman ako sa sampung square sponges lang. Obviously, I went for the second pack which has twenty-five pieces of sponges in it. Para sulit.

25 pieces in one pack.

As I was thinking if I should really buy it or not, there was this woman who was looking for something which really puzzled me because the items on each hook were the same. Pilit niyang inaabot at tiningnan ang item na nasa likod ng sabitan kaya't nagsipaglaglagan ang ibang mga items na nasa unahan ng hook. What ikred me that time was when she ignored and just looked down at the items that fell on the floor. She didn't even attempt on picking them. My giiid...ang ibang tao nga naman. Since wala siyang balak pulutin ang nalaglag, nagpasya akong magkusa na pulutin ang mga iyon. Nang may malaglag uli at hindi niya pinulot at tiningnan lang niya uli, hindi ko talaga napigilan ang hindi mapairap tinalikuran ko na lang si ateng.

I browsed the other items but there was nothing that piqued my interest. Nagpasya akong bumalik sa rack na kinaroroonan ng mga sponge and to my surprise, andoon pa rin sa ateng. Hehe. I chose another pack of sponges when a crazy thing happened. I didn't know the pack was loose and when I lifted the damn pack to take a closer look of the colors, the sponges just kind of jumped out of the pack. I was astounded for a moment that I couldn't even move and just stared at the sponges scattered on the floor. The woman, that woman just exclaimed, turned around and made a hasty escape. She didn't even bother to help. Wahahaha I didn't know why I decided to look for another pack when I already have one in my hand. Lesson 1: Be contented with what you already got. Lesson 2: Think twice before lifting a wrapped item or packed item whatever you call it.

I hastily picked up the blasted sponges on the floor and dumped them inside the plastic pack, proceeded to the counter and made my hasty escape as well. Napaisip ako kung na-karma ba ako sa ginawa kong pag-irap or sadyang tanga lang ako. Hahaha I was not able to buy a pair of jelly shoes because there weren't any. Pupunta na lang siguro ako sa Guadalupe next time.

Here are the sponges inside the pack:

Huawei Y5II

Got a New Phone! It's Huawei Y5II(CUN-U 29) Sand Gold

Bought a new phone at PC Express in SM Megamall. It's Huawei Y5II (CUN-U 29) Sand Gold. Cy and I were looking for a phone with an exceptionally good quality and at the same time, affordable. We were supposed to buy Lenovo A6000 but I was told it was already phased-out. How can a phone be phased-out just after a year and a half from its released date? I really didn't have an idea so I didn't badger the sales rep about it.

Dis: This is not a paid entry and I didn't get it for free. We bought it.

The sales rep did the sales talk and all then  she showed me some phone but the price were quite way beyond our budget. We didn't need a phone with a lucrative price. As I said from my previous post, it is impractical these days. Baka kung totally safe na dito sa Pilipinas ay pag-iisipan kong bumili mamahalin na phone but the thing is, there are really affordable phones with good quality.

My eyes strayed on Huawei phone that day. To be honest, we never thought buying Huawei and it was not among our options BUT the price got my attention. When I saw its features, I got hooked figuratively, of course. Haha! Plus I got free 16G memory card, a screen protector, a simple phone case and an LTE sim card. Not bad, right?

For more details about the phone, refer to this site: HUAWEI Y5II  

The packaging: That's the box. Sorry naman at sagad ang pagkakuha ko ng pic.

What I like?
► It's user-friendly and literally easy to navigate.

►Screen shot ba kamo? Unlike other phones, there's no need to bother pressing two buttons for screen shot.

►Need a torch? Just press the same button. Another advantage of this phone is it has another button on the other side.

►Secondary camera has a flash. Nice!

►Primary camera is fine.

No Filter

Close-up

There's one thing that I don't like, though.
►Classic earphones. :D

►Battery life is averagely good. It lasts longer than I have expected. At least, when I use it constantly, it doesn't surprisingly drain fast.  

Thoughts: I love it! ♥♥♥ So far, so good. I hope I won't encounter problems with this one.

PRICE: Php 5,590

Pandesal

Vintage :P

Too much tomatoes, eh?

When I'm alone at home, I don't usually cook a meal because I'm lazy. :D So whenever I get hungry, I just either make pancakes or buy some bread. Special hot pandesal is one of my favorites and one of the few that I missed eating. Pandesal just smells so good. There was this small bakery close to were we used to live and we usually buy all sorts of bread there.

I usually eat pandesal with scrambled eggs with lots of tomatoes.

Cinnamon Pancake

Ooho! I sprinkled too much cinnamon powder. 

I found few recipes online but as usual I didn't have the exact ingredients so I couldn't follow the recipe. What's important is I have cinnamon powder and flour. Hehehe Anyway I usually make pancakes whenever I get hungry because it's the easiest to make and it's delicious. My recipe is crazy and I sort of just mixed it all. I only made 2 pancakes since YY's at work.


Ingredients: (for 2 large pancakes so I didn't need much)
1 tsp of cinnamon powder
2 tbsp of mayonnaise (gives enough moist)
2 tbsp of sugar
1/3 cup of flour
1 tsp baking powder
water


I just tossed the ingredients together.

That's the last peach rose from my imperfect Peach Tiramisu.

Guess I just got so excited about cinnamon powder, I almost covered the whole thing with it. Oh, well.

Peach Tiramisu...Trust me, I tried.

At least I tried...hahaha

I do love desserts. Who doesn't? I tried to make a fair few following the recipes I found online. So far, the only dessert I've quite successfully made was mango float and thankfully it was edible enough or maybe YY didn't have a choice but to eat it? hahaha! Anychuvss, I've been craving for peaches. I've been wanting to make peach tiramisu but YY only wanted to eat mangoes. Haay! 

Last Saturday, I decided to drop by at the supermarket to buy some adhesives and turmeric powder but I ended up buying three kinds of adhesive and few more items. This is what I hate when going to the supermarket. Before I ventured to the store, I already had an imaginary list of few things that I would buy but I ended up buying more items I wasn't supposed to. Crazy. And this happens every time. That's why I don't like going to supermarket. :p 

So yes, I was looking for turmeric when I saw a small pack of cinnamon powder so I took one. Then I suddenly remembered the peaches so I sashayed to the canned fruit section. Scanned the shelves for the cheapest can of holy peaches. Hahaha! I actually found one and saved 5 pesos. Hehehe :D I also bought cocoa powder, cream cheese, Kremdensada and powdered milk. Konti lang but they weren't on my list. 

When impatience strikes....

Peaches ♥♥♥

Patience really is a virtue but I only got few strands left which I reserve for my students. Since I didn't reserve any for this and since I couldn't wait any longer to savor it, I mixed cream cheese and the unchilled Kremdensada. It got so lumpy! Ah, laziness and impatience combined. I got no other choice but to put the mixture in the freezer. Hahaha! Kainis lang. 

I managed to submerge the slices in my pitiful attempt to make few pitiful mini peach roses hours later. Close enough to what I have imagined. Hahaha! At least I tried. 

This for P200 budget.

Noodles with Kimchi

Guilty about eating instant noodles? You don't have to. Just don't gobble it every day. You might also want to add veggies to alleviate your guilt from eating highly processed food.

Kimchi :)

Instant noodles have always been part of our my life. I mean, who doesn't love springy and stringy noodles? I especially love beef flavored. The smell just reminds me of my childhood. Instant foods are tasty but not really a fan. They are way too salty and contain all the ingredients that we should avoid and run away from. However, there are ALWAYS cheat days. Well, I'm not talking about buying expensive "foods to go" on this so-called cheat day but I do buy whatever I want to eat. Mababaw lang naman kaligayahan ko. Basta nakakabusog at masarap ay kontento na ako. Saka na rin ako bibili ng sobrang mahal na pagkain pag wala na akong paki sa presyo. :D And you know what, before sahod, ang dami kong gustong bilhin na pagkain. Pero pagdating ng sahod, wala na. Limot ko na ang pagkain na gustong kainin. 

Not that fond of eating at a fancy restaurants either. I don't know but I just feel guilty paying for food that could have fed my relatives for a day. Lol! I also can't stomach eating mouth-watering foods without my family. If I could eat fancy foods, I would eat those with them. If I could travel somewhere nice, I would bring them with me.  I just want to experience wonderful things and eat delicious foods with them.

Before anyone stumbles upon this mediocre blog, if there's any and say I'm depriving myself, please don't. I don't crave for those kinds of foods so I'm not depriving myself. Defensive much? Well, JollyMS, my office mate before said "One shouldn't deprive himself/herself with food and etc." But I don't and I'm not. Good thing my stomach is not that ambitious. It only craves what my wallet can afford to buy. Oh, but I don't have a wallet. :P

So yes, back to instant chuvaness. I don't have enoki mushrooms, tofu and other spices so I go for kimchi since I have kept some in the fridge. I don't have spring onions, too. So it really is the only healthy ingredient available since I don't have fungi. I literally don't have fungi. :P Sayang, I just saw enoki at SM supermarket last Saturday. I should have bought some. Oh well...

Ingredients:

1 pack of instant noodles (just don't pour all the seasoning)

3 spoonful of kimchi; sliced

1 egg (boiled or fresh; whatever I want)

What would make it perfect:

*diced tofu

*chopped spring onions

*enoki mushrooms

:-P

Bahaw na kan-on....

Just another lazy day. I wonder how I survived Tuesday talking to my students the whole shift. I want to keep this blog updated but I just couldn't think of more entertaining entry to write right now. So I end up with Bahaw na Kanin (tira-tirang kanin/leftovers).

Karon bitaw na tag-ulan na, tugnaw gyud. Lami nalang ibalukot habol tibuok adlaw. Tugnaw jud ikaligo! Samot tugnaw kung bugnaw pod ang gikaon. Sa katugnaw, manapol nalang pod lung-ag maong bahaw nalang gikaon or naa sad time na kapoy kaayo gikan sa trabaho mao di nalang initon ang bahaw. Hahaha! Bahaw na, bugnaw pa gyud. Pero wa baya ko problema sa bahaw ha...In fact, kung naay bahaw tiwason gyud nako kay sayangan jud ko. Kung maglung-ag ko, siguraduhon gyud nako na sakto lang unya kaya lang nako hutdon kay sayang lage. Sahay, sa kagutom di nalang gyud initon!

Kung makadungog ko ug Tagalog sa bahaw ba kay makanugot sad ko sa akong kaopisina na arte sauna na itago nato sa codename na "Tikalon"(Kay tikalon gyud) Hahaha. Akong isa ka kaopisina(let's call her, JollyMS), before mi nahuman sa among shift kaniadto, gitagaan ko ug mamon man siguro to. Ambot, nalimot ko kung mamon ba to or ordinaryong pan raba kay 6 years ago naman gud to. Ang mamon nakuhaan nag gamay ba. Napahak na pero kinusian lang.

Murag igo lang tingale to gitilawan ni JollyMS pero wala pang-iti. So pagpanguliay na namo, ako gitiwas kay sayang baya ug ilabay. Sa dihang nitingog si Tikalon kay kuyog man gud mi ato. Kami jud tigkuyog panguliay ato. Maayo gani wa ko natakdan sa pagka-Tikalon. Slight lang tingale. Lol! Ni comment ba naman na "Ano ba yan! Kumakain ka nang tira-tira?!" Hala, niinit gyud akong dunggan ato na time! Di gyud ko kalimot. Kaarte ug kahambug sa hanggaw ay. Matanong ko lang. Ano po bang mali sa pagkain ng may bawas na o tira-tirang pagkain? Kung hindi naman panis ay walang dahilan kung bakit hindi mo kainin, diba? Isa pa, hindi naman po nilawayan at kinagatan ng nagbigay. May cute na kurot lang. Ganern!

Out of topic. Yes, dili to bahaw na kan-on ang gihatag ni JollyMS pero pagkadungog nako sa phrase na "tira-tira" nakanugot ko sa bahaw na kan-on. I have to be honest, I was offended. Na-offend ko kay tingale tan-aw niya nako hangul najud ko kaayo para pati sobra-sobra dili nako pasayluon ug hamal. Na-offend ko para ni JollyMS na maayo nalang gani kay dili namo kuyog, so wala siya kadungog. Na-offend pod ko para sa mamon. Kaluoy na mamon, na gitawag ni Tikalon ug sobra-sobra(bisan dili man pod siya tantong sobra-sobra) Lol!. May bawas, oo but it was just a pinch. Bisan Tagalog na adjective di pa magamit ug tarong. Bisan ako baya pod, nagkagidlay sad kung mag-tagalog. But at least, I'm not that insensitive. If I don't have anything good to say, I just keep my mouth shut.

For me, it isn't really that bad to eat slightly-bawas na pagkain or leftovers given by someone as long as he or she doesn't have a contagious illness, the food isn't spoilt at kung hindi niya nilawayan, syempre.

It was a small issue but I couldn't think of throwing the mamon away just because may bawas na so inubos ko pa rin. I just don't like wasting food most especially if it's not spoilt. I really finish my baon na kanin and ulam sa opisina before going home kasi alam kong pagdating sa bahay ay mapapanis na ang kanin. I also don't mind accepting and eating food na may bawas na, like I said sa taas, but being addressed for doing it was uncalled-for. I knew what I was doing and she didn't really have to point it out.

Ang sobra-sobra, tira-tira, bahaw, bow!
