Ask me anything

REGRETTABLE

My family has a complicated history of separation, immigration, divorce, and remarriage. I won’t go into the details but my mom often said to me “It’s my life, my choice, I do what I want. You have no right to judge me.”

I’m 20, but as a 9 year old child at the time, I couldn’t repeat what she said. I could only wonder “Your choice in life affects me too.”

Divorce is such a fad these days. Half the people I know have divorced parents, and most of them aren’t happy about it. I understand in some situations divorce is the only way, but when your choice affects more than just you, think of the consequences and choose wisely.

A simple "no" or "never"...

its not being rejected.. its what he says when i ask him if we are gonna be separated in the future.. its what keeps me going.. ♥

3 Antidotes to Overeating

Jogging, 'twas Mark's daily routine @ 5 in the morning + the diet pills which he's been taking for a over a month now. But he stopped, because still, his meal wasn't fixed yet. Then along came Jo's urge to search for some diet meal plans.. So, it's now a perfect start, the pills + the 28-day diet plan.

And also, we've discovered the very solution to not feeling bulky after every meal (very useful to Jo by September), the 3 Antidotes to Overeating. Want to know our little secret to that? Follow the link below!

What ever vs. Whatever

The former is generally an interrogative form, with ever providing emphasis. "Gee, what ever happened to Joe Piscopio?" a fan of SNL in the 1980's might ask.


Or, if you were not a fan, you might use the pronoun whatever in this way: "Whatever happened to Joe Piscopio, it wasn't enough." 


Yeah whatever.

Brotherly Love

Hey, names are James Dominic & John Constantine. A 4-year old kid and a 2-year old. Now you may be thinking, "Why post this photo of some kids here??".

First off, they are not just "some" kids. Did you know how fuzzy they are? NO! You need to know some fun facts about them, because most brothers are longing for real lovin'.

Of course when talking about brothers, Cain and Abel would not step away from the list. I don't think so. We all know how warm their life story was, believing that they were the first brothers in the Bible.

And no, you are not wasting your time reading this blog. It's important to know how JD & JC understood "Brotherly Love".

LET US SHOW YOU MORE RANDOM PHOTOS OF THEM, PLEASE DO HIT US UP IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS WITH THESE ADORABLE KIDDOS. THANKS! 

Time and again after being separated for over a year they are enjoying each other's company. Perhaps the saddest of all that incident is their mother's huge blunder. As a part of the consequence to her sin with her sons, more than a bucketful of misery to her heart (well, currently).

We believe Jesus showed them the essence of brotherly love through examples such as going the extra mile; jealousy when their mother hugs the other, and generally looking out for the welfare of each other at their very young age. As nice as this is, they don't find it hard because even if they do not know how, they have got to do it in their own ways.

Although we can't help but think how these youngsters got away with the willingness to bury all the bitterness, pride, ego, and desire for revenge, we just let them be. Because that's what God tells us, to understand "brotherly love".

Fish are Friends, not Food!

Who wouldn't remember that line from the movie Shark Tale? Oh yes indeed, for those good sharks out there, fish really are friends.. *wink*

But hey, this isn't about the movie.. it's about the Fish!

Well, we often cook when it's not only the two of us left at home. And when no one's around except for us, we wouldn't want us to starve, right? So we cook then we get lazy in choosing the right menu..and that's how we end up cooking fish.

Apparently, different styles of cooking isn't an option for us. We stick to only two ways of cooking the fish.

FRYING

and the TINOLANG ISDA or SOUP WITH FISH

Different people from around the world cook Tinolang Isda without "malunggay" leaves, or.. "moringa" in English.

For us here, we put malunggay in our dish because it may contain vitamin C and other minerals.. (it is said that it is good for the eyes, too).

Aside from the fact that millions of Filipinos consider this leaf as a sort of "comfort food", it is also highly economical.

This dish is nearly effortless to make, and won't break the bank. So, what are you guys waiting for? Try cooking this Soup with Fish and put some malunggay in it! For the recipe, click this link: http://maclovesjo.multiply.com/reviews/item/30

"afternoon delight"

at first glance that bunch of lumpia shanghais would look pork lumpia to you. they look similar you’d mistake one for the other. anyway, have you tried eating fried lumpia shanghai with corned tuna inside? well.. we surely are voting for this rather than pork lumpia..you see, we have this recipe called CHILI CORNED TUNA SHANGHAI saved for how many months now and we decided to try this one day. Jo prepared everything for this recipe and mixed them all then Macmac cooked 3 pcs first (for trial).

WE LOVE THIS DELICACY!

Boneless Danggit at Php 550.00 per kilo
-It is a salted dried fish that is best paired with hot rice and dipped in vinegar. Others prefer a mixture of vinegar and crushed chili peppers with a dash of salt. Others might want to add a little bit more of spices to enhance the flavor. Onions, garlics, ginger are some of the favorites. However it is done, the tastiness of danggit is magnified ten times when there’s vinegar around. But with or without it, people still find them a very tasty treat for any meal at any time of day and at any physical condition - that is to say, whether one is hungry or not.

Dubbed as a poor man’s food like any other types of dried fish, rich and poor alike love to eat this typical Cebuano delicacy. For the ultimate danggit experience, eat with your bare hands. Eating in bare hands is a Filipino way of showing humility. But setting humility aside, spoon and fork provides little assistance when eating danggit. If at all, it only makes the eating experience difficult. Setting aside man-made utensils is setting aside everything else just to enjoy a goodmeal of a bunch of good ol’ danggit.
