Kettle Korn: Poppin’ Fun All The Time!

Raffy, Mikeila and I loves to watch movies. For us, no movie experience is complete without munching on popcorn! I particularly love Kettle Korn's Sweet and Salty Caramel Flavor that I can finish the whole bag.

Speaking of movies, I've always thought about what if my life would be made in a movie? Will people be interested? Well in any case, I think my movie will be about perseverance. How motherhood changed my life and how I wanted to achieve so much more than anyone would expect.

With or without a movie, I am the star of my own life and I would live it so that I will give honor to my family and my baby.

What about you? What will you life story be?

Sun Cellular, The Good Choice in Postpaid

I have been a Sun postpaid user for almost 2 years now and owning it is one of the best decisions I've made. Not only because their plans are affordable, they also give you the best gadgets for free! Now that's value for money. I subscribed to plan 999 and they gave me a free android tablet ZTE Light. That is such a sweet deal.

To give you an idea, here's what you will get with Sun Postpaid Plan 600 and Plan 999:

Plan 600

• Unlimited Calls & Texts to Sun
• 350 Free Texts to other networks
• P250 consummable
• Free phone

Plan 999

• Unlimited mobile internet
• Unlimited texts to Sun
• 4 hours of Sun calls
• Free phone

It has always been a said that Sun signal is weak, but I can attest that their signal is stronger than ever. I can even receive calls when I am at Bulacan. Something my other "popular" network can't do. Maybe it's because of their alliance with PLDT and Smart?

Well one thing's for sure, you won't regret getting a Sun Postpaid Plan, your good choice.

Mang Jimmy's Short Order

Raffy has always mentioned a popular 'sisigan' near Manila Water area in Quezon City that he hasn't tried yet. Some of his officemates have recommended it and vouched for its greatness. So one day on our way to Bulacan, I urged him that we try it once and for all. The place is called "Mang Jimmy's Short Order".

It is located at #3 Carriedo St, Balara Filtration, QC. Right beside Manila Water Office.
It is a simple eatery with pebbles as its flooring and wooden tables and plastic chairs.

 
The price is just right with food good enough for 2 people except for the rice because one order comes with 1 cup of rice. If you will eat in groups, better order 3 viands and you'll enjoy unlimited rice. Check out the menu below.

Mang Jimmy's Menu

We ordered sisig, tapa and sinigang na hipon. I love their tapa! Even my sister-in-law likes it. The sisig and sinigang are good too but their tapa is the runaway winner for me.

Will definitely come back again. So if you're looking for cheap but yummy eats, Mang Jimmy's is surely the right place!

Aracama Filipino Cuisine

Raffy and I went on a date and we decided to have dinner at the new restaurant inside The Fort strip called ARACAMA. They serve filipino cuisine with a modern take.

The staffs are all polite which has always been a big deal for us. The place is almost empty because we dined in on a weekday. According to Raffy, the place gets jam packed on weekends and on holidays so better get a reservation.

Prices are at the mid level. We ordered Mozzarella Malunggay Dip, Gising-gising, Pork Binagoongan, KKK Rice and Watermelon Shake.

We love Mozzarella Malunggay Dip, it's perfectly paired with crunchy bread. I just hope the melted mozzarella was not only placed on top of the malunggay but also at the bottom or at the center so we can eat the rest of the malunggay.

Gising-gising is another great dish made of sigarilyas (winged beans), chili and gata. The spiciness is just right.

Pork Binagoongan is okay. It has a mild bagoong flavor though I prefer it if it's made a
little more salty.

KKK is kalkag kalo kalo with dried baby shrimps and green onions. This is one great rice recipe, we love it.

Overall, Aracama is a nice restaurant to try if you're at the Fort area. Too bad I wasn't able to try their chocnut ice cream. I wasn't aware that it was their signature dessert! Maybe I'll come back to try it out. ;)

I Can Be Body Beautiful At Any Age With Wacoal

At these technology-driven age, there are now a lot of ways to stay beautiful and stay young with the proper price tag. But now all are lucky to afford it including me. I gained a lot of weight after giving birth. I noticed that slimming down has become harder than when I was still single, probably because my metabolism slows down as I age. Though I already lost 30lbs, I'm still above my ideal weight. It affected my confidence and self-esteem. I get sad when I see pictures of me when I was still slim and young.

But I came to realized that my worth as a person is more than the size of my waist line or my arms. I embrace the fact that I have beautiful qualities to be proud of and to celebrate with. I have a family that accepts and loves me for who I am and that's the most important thing. These things helped me bring back my confidence to love myself again. It definitely helps more to wear the proper lingerie like Wacoal.

Wacoal products empower al women regardless of age and size. They believe that every women is beautiful. I'm turning 30 real soon and I'm not afraid because I have wonderful support system including Wacoal. Check out this great pair of women in their 30's!

Thank you Wacoal!

Kristina's Inutak Premium

I recently discovered a delicious delicacy called Kristina's Inutak Premium. It's like a pie made of fresh coconut cream mixed with sticky rice. It's really yummy.

It comes with different flavors like classic, queso de bola, corn, tablea, macapuno, langka and classic lite. Classic costs P120 (small) and P350 (big) but the rest of the flavors cost P150 for small and P400 for big. Kinda pricey if you ask me especially since the big one is not really that big for its price. But I would still recommend it since the taste will make up for the lack in size.

You can find Kristina's Inutak at the following daily stores:

• GF Bldg A SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City (near El Pollo Loco)
• 2F Main Bldg SM MOA, Pasay City (Food Court)
• 2F Main Bldg SM North Edsa (near SM Department Store entrance)
• 2F Sm Southmall (near Blue Magic)

Weekend Stores

• GF Glorietta 4, Makati (near Armani Exchange)
• GF Alabang Town Center, Muntinlupa (Activity Center)
• Mercato Centrale, BGC Taguig 
• 3F The Podium (near Living Well)

Seafood Pasta in Oil

Thanks to Wanda Cooks for this recipe. So simple but delicious. I made this for Mikeila's 2nd birthday and they loved it. :)

Ingredients:

seafood (shrimp, squid and canned tuna, drained but reserving the oil)
1/2 cup olive oil
2 whole garlic (or more), minced finely
1 tbsp red chili flakes, minced finely
1 cup dried basil
1 cup dried parsley
salt and pepper to taste

How to Cook:

• Warm oil, garlic and red chili flakes in a skillet. Cover and let simmer in low heat for 15 minutes. The oil should barely bubble and make sure the garlic will NOT turn brown.

• Once cooked, add the basil, parsley and the oil from the canned tuna. Then add salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for a few minutes
