Gotta be....

After enough hard work... rewards pays off.. no guts, no glory.. simple, yet true... Almost most of my post are really into 'me', yeah, I don't really have someone/something to do here in Vegas, so every chance I get, am just grabbing it. At least for now, since I just lost my wallet, along with my drivers license in it; And it's sucks big time for I have to fly back to CA to get a new one, which is a good thing also that I have to meet my homies! *well you guys need to chip in if you want me to go there asap* (and I can hear Anna saying 'we can wait.') haha.. or the other way around..

/jealous for nanay's and co' went home to P.I. - hugz nalang sa mga nasa atin!

got side tracked again, *was looking for* too many and always forgot where I put it...

gotta be
1. Need Haircut as of 6.31am of sunday march 22..
2. Happy Birthday sa Tatay at this point of time. I think it's Monday na dun.
3. or cook at least, omelette... man I have been thinking of making one, and after reading 'eat this, not that' mag... I has planning to make one, but always ends up of eating my cereals... meaning it's either I wake up late, or just being lazy... iight, cast your vote, which one is me?


Am now is
1. Happy, not my sister but the word, after like not putting my 'blue jeans on' for all of my pants are blue since I got a job and bought some new ones. But this one is like 'every one has a pair of at least skinny-jeans eh'..... Meaning you still keep it even if having thought on your mind that it will fit again... Umasa... well at least yeah... I thought I bought this bullhead pants from a surfer shop 'pacsun' ata... I barely go there kasi mahal ah.. I just go look.. It's like the 501 ba. Here it goes, I put it on, knowing I haven't used it for like 6weeks now.. dahil I don't go out, or even if I do go out, I wear sweatpants and tanks.. lol... But shit.. I thought I bought this jean with 30x30... but hellz naww.. I just looked at it and it's size was 28x30... and it did fit me, and surprisingly not tight! like i'm 27w now!..
2. my pants are falling off.. even my undies.. haha.. so glad that I was once a 32~33. and I have to wear my still 32 (medium) unders, but now falls or loose-ing.. terribad. no word for me.

Back to Greys

I got the habit of watching tv series-es. Right now, I just found out that one of my favorite TV series is back! Or me being too late to notice that it's been on air for 4 weeks. Having to not have a TV nor a cable in the unit, I guess I have me reasons.

Whilst cooking Egg Rolls, and making a-la starbucks mocha frappe (which I just experimented and yeah, I will share how to make). Of course, I just got home from work and need to eat... Happy Anniversary on the side for Nanay and Tatay Felixes! I'm going to eat brown rice that Happy made before she went back to CA, well sort of...

Missed my night going to the gym, for I lost my wallet along with my driver's license and receipt for the layaway.. I can't go drive meself now. And also have to walk to my work too, bah (it won't compensate for doing cardio)...

And yeah, I was so bored and checked my favorite free tv/movie site.... Grey's was deleted, and browsed to abc.com... I dunno if most of you watch this show, but it's hella good, *I at least can relate* to med terms or whatever... they're on 5th season now... I don't have much to tell, but you have to watch it and see it for yourself.

Ala mocha frappe eh~ recipe
1. Any black coffee will do (I did mine roasted)
2. Chocolate Powder/Cocoa
3. Vanilla Ice Cream
4. Ice
Optional.
1. Milk
2. Chocolate Chips

-put all ingredients in shaker, and make sure coffee is at least hot for easier prep. it's up to you if you wanted it iced or frappe (put a lot of ice cream for this one)

Top 10 Foods

1. Tomatoes
The all-powerful tomato can do all kinds of things. It's rich in lycopene, an important nutrient that may lower your risk for all kinds of cancer, prostate included. Plus, it packs serious Vitamin C.

2. Greens
Dark leafy veggies are rich in vitamins such as K, C, E and B and minerals including iron, calcium, potassium and magnesium. They also pack omega-3 fats and beta-carotene. And they're practically carb-free! I love braised greens (steam until bright green, then sauté in olive oil and garlic, cover, turn off the heat and let finish cooking through). Any kind of green will do, from Swiss chard to kale to collard greens. They're all delicious.

3. Almonds
I'm a huge fan of nuts, especially raw almonds (and walnuts, too). They can significantly reduce blood cholesterol in just four weeks, but are high in calories, so keep portion control in mind. I place 10 of them in a ramekin and munch on them at my desk. (It's too easy to eat too many, so I measure my servings.) I take my time and they seem to last. I also carry little Ziploc bags of almonds in my purse for an emergency snack.

4. Onions
The lowly onion seems to find its way into almost everything you make, especially come dinnertime. Eating onions is a cheap way to get your flavonoids, important nutrients that help protect your lungs from cancer and your stomach from ulcers. Plus, they help prevent heart disease and raise the "good" cholesterol in your blood.

5. Salmon
I absolutely adore grilled salmon, but it has to be the wild variety if you want the benefit of the omega-3 fatty acids (farm-raised salmon doesn't cut it). Heat up the barby, throw on the frozen salmon — skin side down — sprinkle some seasoning (generously, I might add) and that's it! Easy and absolutely delicious, no planning necessary.

6. Frozen berries
I make smoothies from frozen berries every morning. I use wild blueberries and a mix of blackberries and raspberries. Blueberries are especially healthy: two-thirds a cup packs more antioxidants than five servings of broccoli.

7. Kefir and yogurt
Kefir is like liquid yogurt. It's chock full of probiotics and helps your body balance in the gut. Remember those stories of people living to be 120 years old in Russia? Yogurt and kefir were what they credited their longevity to. Use kefir in smoothies, and eat yogurt with a splash of vanilla and a squeeze of honey.

8. Oats
Fiber-rich oats help your body stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce cholesterol. A perfect breakfast is a bowl of oatmeal with about a half cup of frozen blueberries. Fiber is critical for important bodily functions, if you know what I mean, and oatmeal is a great way to get it.

9. Dark chocolate
Hallelujah! Dark chocolate is rich in catechins and flavonoids, giving you a big dose of antioxidants and helping to boost your good cholesterol. An ounce a day is a more than adequate serving, and it needs to be dark — the darker the better.

10. Oranges
While we may no longer suffer from scurvy, a lot of us have marginal levels of vitamin C in our blood, and some of us have a deficit. When you consider the fact that oranges, in their flavonoid richness, have the ability to fend off cancer and cardiovascular disease and protect one's DNA, it's amazing that most of us aren't chugging a glass of OJ each morning! Get the pulp-rich variety for an extra boost of Vitamin C.
