Winners and Losers

Now that  country’s first (semi) automated election has come to pass, I am sure a lot have heaved a sigh of relief while some probably shook their heads in disbelief and started planning on how to amass to get back the money they spent. I know of people who need anti wrinkle cream because of so many problems and challenges they had to face for several months.

I for one am grateful that I do not need to listen to and watch TVC of empty promises and catchy tunes (that got one senator the highest votes among all candidates, merde!).

My choice for president didn’t win but I am glad the one who is leading the count is one I can agree with rather the one tailing behind him. To those who conceded, I salute you!

Back Issue Magazines

I used to love buying fashion magazines and ogle at the stick figures lovely models and personalities featured there.  Now its a different kind of glossy readings that I want to browse (just browse, I don’t usually buy): food magazines with beautiful- good-you-can-eat-them-on the printed-paper food photos and home decor mags with beds, linens, Hansgrohe faucets,curtains and color combination suggestions. I also love reading hubby’s outdoor magazines including those that are frequented by two-wheeled machines.

If ever, I want to buy these, I’d usually go to a bargain book store and get back issues. Three or four issues equal the price of a brand new one. Since there is absolutely no expiration date on a recipe nor a must-see place, I see nothing wrong with getting these.

What about you?

Say “Thank You” with Toblerone on Mother’s Day

We celebrate Mother’s day every second Sunday of May. One way to say “thank you” to our dearest moms. Those special people who we look up to as second moms, they may be our tita, grandma, mentor, teacher, or even our yaya deserve to know how much we appreciate and love them.

Though overlooked with their efforts mostly going unnoticed, anyone you’ve come to consider as a second mother has undoubtedly made an impact. Extend your sweetest thank-you’s to them – the same way that Toblerone will be honouring the unsung heroes of our everyday lives in a big celebration on October 20. And yes, your yaya, teacher and lola and all the other women whom you’ve regarded as your second momsare invited to this event. In the meantime, make Mothers’ Day extra special for them by thanking them with Triangles. Thank them with Toblerone.

Be sure to log on to www.toblerone.com.ph and discover new ways to thank those 2nd moms on Mothers’ Day.

Black Olives

Vegetable salads are one of my favorite food. Below is a bowl of vegetable salad I prepared: cheese cubes, Romaine lettuce, black olives, cucumber, tomato and carrot slices.

It just occurred to me and I just checked, I already featured this photo in this blog post for my 2010 Project 365 (which is not updated by the way for almost a month!)
