just a sneak peek...

I'm still waiting for Esther to post the pictures from her camera, but here are a few from Tin's when we went to Sitio de Amor at San Pablo, Laguna last weekend :) Thanks to Anton from Our Awesome Planet--if it wasn't for his review, we wouldn't have discovered this wonderful place.







I promise my Sitio de Amor entry will be the first one I'll post for all my backlog entries :) Heehee

learning to live on chicken and fish

I haven't been able to post entries on what I've been eating since I came back from my out-of-town trip last week. I'll start from today going back to Tuesday so it'll be easier for me to remember...

Today (Day 17)- I had fried tilapia for lunch. For dinner, I prepared baked penne with spaghetti sauce (I used ground chicken), honey glazed grilled chicken, and grilled minute steaks. Of course I only had the pasta and chicken. I prepared the steak for my family in case they were already sick of chicken (haha!).

Saturday (Day 16)- My friends Esther, Tin and I had a bit of girlfriend bonding/adventure day. We went to Sitio de Amor in San Pablo, Laguna. Can I just say, it was soooo worth the long drive! But, I'll devote another entry about that..back to my diet--we were served lots of food for lunch but of course I didn't eat anything made from pork or beef. We were served blue marlin, liempo, bopis, soy chicken, pako salad (sooo yummy!), and this dish that was made of baby shrimp cooked with coconut milk then wrapped in gabi leaves then steamed (to die for!). For our afternoon snack, we were served this special kind of suman (that was bought in Lucban, I think) with a slice of mango and drizzled with a light caramel sauce. I swear, that was the best suman I've ever tasted. After spending the entire afternoon at Sitio de Amor, we headed off to Kusina Salud for dinner. We had their fried lumpiang ubod for our appetizer, and the Hot Crispy Tilapia as our main dish.

Friday (Day 15)- lunch out with my college friends Ria and Eia. We ate at Kimono Ken at Podium. I had salmon sashimi, chicken teriyaki and japanese fried rice. I don't think I had dinner. Hahaha! I think after my dgroup, I went to this spa near my house and had a very relaxing massage. Me thinks that's why I woke up late yesterday. Hahaha!

Thursday (Day 14)- I think I had shrimp and ginataang papaya for lunch.

I can't remember what I had for Days 12 and 13. But I'm sure I didn't break my diet :)

Laguna adventure

My friends and I weren't able to go to the beach this year and we haven't gone on any photo trips yet, so despite being uberly busy at the office I looked for a nice place we can visit before the year ends. Ta-da! We're off to Sitio de Amor in Laguna this Saturday! I will definitely post an entry about the place--with pictures of course. And oh! Am excited about the long weekend :) Two long weekends this month, actually.

There's this somethin' somethin' that's got me feeling a bit...I dunno...hmm...nevermind, I'll keep my mouth shut about it first.

Today's a frumpy day so I wore my tapered pants to make me feel frumpier. Haha! Will post a picture later (if I feel like posting my frumpy self on the web :).

I ♥ ♥ ♥ Thursdays...coz' it's like the day before the weekend starts. I consider Fridays as part of the weekend already since mid-day I'm already thinking of non-work related things to do at night. I hate traffic on Fridays, though.
