me and my crazy food cravings

It feels like forever since I last blogged. Oh well, forgive the busy girl. Haha!

Anyways, I have a story about my crazy food cravings lately. (I know, may last post was about food but I love food!) So, my friends have been making fun of me because of my cravings. Last night, I was craving for green mangoes and just now, I was craving for Pinakbet. You know that feeling when out of nowhere, it's like you can actually taste the food in your mouth? I even smell it right under my nose but it's not really there, not anywhere near too. It's really crazy and I've never been like this before. My friends tease me that maybe I'm preggers but I know I'm not because I don't have a sex life. As in zero. Nada.

Maybe, it's just hormones? For whatever reason it maybe, I hate these food cravings because I can't easily shake it off. It's a pain in the ass, you have no idea. I'm thinking, maybe someday when I'm preggers, my food cravings will be much more crazy! I pity the baby-daddy already. Haha!

what i do in the middle of the night

Touchdown, parent's house!!! Woohoo!!! I was so looking forward to yummy, home-cooked food care of my dad and mom and uncles and aunties ('cause I get to have round 2 of every meal from my relatives living in our compound). Haha!

It was already late when I came home. My brother and parents are already sleeping. My sister is out and will arrive early morning. I have a cousin who lives with my family and he's the only one awake. He was busy facebooking so I went to my brother's desktop and went farmvilling too. Haha! I guess my excitement is not making me feel sleepy yet.

After a few minutes, my cousin went to bed. I was bored farmvilling so I went to the kitchen and right in the middle of the dining table is ARIEL & FE's ROASTED CHICKEN!!! Woot woot! I'm so not hungry but I'm bored and I know the chicken taste good so I said to myself, what about a midnight snack, skinny b*tch? Haha!

So there I was, downing the sumptous roasted chicken with skin and all its vein-blocking fats. I was happy! No one will ever know what I do in the middle of the night. I was thinking that maybe the chicken was for my sister. I hope she won't notice that the chicken is gone. Hehe!

So, you know that part of the movie when the character is all happy without any sight of the villain but poof! the villian comes out from nowhere? This is this part. My dad woke up. So I tried my best to be silent. I didn't move. Heck, I didn't even breathe. But he went out of their room and there I was, looking like a construction worker so tired from the day's work, pigging out on the chicken using my hands, with one leg up in the chair. Hehe! Caught red-handed. If he ever thinks that I'm anorexic, for sure all those worries are gone.

So tomorrow, if someone looks for the chicken, my "unsuspicious" look won't do wonders for me anymore. My dad is an eye-witness. Or maybe he was sleep walking? Hehe!

Boracay Birthday Day 3

Last installment.

6am - I'm a morning person :)
a Kuya insisted to take my pic. Also advised me to come back with a company. Haha!
I love how the sugar fine white sand feels on my skin. I'm goin to miss this to bits so, I'll be back in 2 months :)
my last Jonah's shake and vegetable omelette. I pray that they will open a branch here in Manila.
touchdown Manila after so many hassles along the way. I didn't miss you, Manila.

So there. I gained a few pounds and I am now suffering from a pimple break-out. I don't want to go out. I'm too lazy. I'm still in a vacay mood. I even still wear sundresses! I wish it's October already.

Boracay Birthday Day 2

Photo-blog style again.

visit the church. I had so many blessings this year. :)


smart cat found a comfy place to lay - next door guy's short. lol

so they party and have fun more than I do, huh?


solo travellers needs a tripod. see? :)


lunch date: John Paul and Maui (local kids)

Met them the night before on the shore. Maui spotted me getting inked so we chat. He said he was hungry so I took him to lunch. His older brother spotted us so we invited him. :)

sweet treats

I was told that I need to stay away from sweets but it's my birthday!!! haha! This is at Chocolate Boy in Yumsing where the Mango outlet shop is. And I only bought 1 item at Mango. Promise :)


John Paul and Maui's birthday gift to moi :)


tropa ko :p


good times :D


kids pulling off a "Jhong Hilario" while another kid asks me for a kiss. bwahaha!


Lemoni cheesecake and Lemoni iced tea. I always have room for dessert.


firedancing is just so awesome and sexy. my jaw drop everytime I see them.


I was planning to sit in a bar cos I read about it in article about being single but I'm such a chicken. Haha!

Boracay Birthday Day 1

As you all know, I flew all the way to Boracay just to celebrate my birthday. A lot of my loved-ones were against it because it's stupid to spend your birthday alone. But actually for me, more than being happy, I was more concerned in proving to myself that I only need myself. Nothing more. I guess single girls who were dumped can relate somehow.

So there, I went to Boracay where I slept most of the time. I only swam for 30 minutes or even less I think and then I was either eating or sleeping for the most part.

I'll let the pictures tell you how Day One of my sole trip went.

CebuPac's cheap-ass but earth-friendly boarding pass. Astig!


travel buddies


alone even at my plane spot. the couple on the other side made me miss gran and gramps. RIP


self-portrait using a tripod. fail!


Boracay's isaw is one of a kind.


one of my favorite thing to do - people-watch


hanged-out with the local kids while another boy was carving my name on the sand


yup. I just woke up in time for the sunset. Told you, I was sleeping most of the time.



Chicken Mash Bush at True Food Indian Restaurant

I don't recommend this resto. I spent P600 for a meal that I didn't really enjoy and as far as I know, I love Indian food but this one was just lousy.


Day 2 and 3 next time. Now, I'll grab a bite. haha! :)
