Merry Christmas, from Ocean's 12



Shet. Napuyat ako sa kakalagay ng Santa hats sa ulo ng mga friends ko using Paint. May mas madali ba sana na way? hehe. (Proud na ko sa ginawa kong yan. Art na yan sakin)

Isa sa Christmas wishes ko na makumpleto kame sa Christmas Party namin. yipeeee! Para hindi na ito ang picture na palagi kong pinopost. I like it anyways!

Christmas in 5 days! I would spend Christmas night sa office kase kailangan ko pumasok. Haaay haaay haaaay. Malungkot pero ikakain at itatawa ko na lang. =) =) =)

episode one.

There you have it, our Egg and Potato Salad (daw). Bon appetit!



Luto ko, kain ko. (Hindi kasarapan :/ )

egg & potato salad, daw

Hello! At the moment, I'm boiling up an egg and potato in the kitchen and I'm tiptoeing and trying my best not to make any sound that will wake my already sleeping family up. They will ask why I'm still cooking at this time of the night. I'm not gutom. I just saw an egg and potato salad from the mag I bought and I thought of trying it. Only I don't have mayonnaise, just cream cheese. I'm not sure if this works out. Can you keep a secret? I really really really want to be a chef, very very badly! Really na, badly pa. San ka pa?! Maybe someday, I'll have my own restaurant (Cafe World, for real) or cooking show, "Good morning QuickFire buddies, today we're going to prepare an Egg and Potato Salad, the Shashi-way! At ang guest ko for today ay ang hot na hot at may crush sakin na si Derek Ramsey" Kthanksbye! =D

Ayan, nagising na nga si Papa dahil ang ingay ng mga cabinets namin. Buti wala pa sa ulirat.

Sana masarap, sana masarap.

Love,
Chef Shashi =D

normalcy

As I promised myself, I'm going to write again. There's just so many things that happened since I started working, I don't want to bore you with the details. I have started my job as a Jr. Research Analyst in a data company more than 4 months ago, and now a regular employee. :) Yes, every time I complain about my job, about going to work when they are all resting on a holiday, when I have to work extra hours without pay, someone will remind me, (most of the time, Mama), to just be thankful that I have a job. That's what I try to do every single day, count my countless blessings. And it's true, I am indeed so very much blessed and loved.

Anyways, as I am on leave since yesterday, I don't want to be talking about work because I just want to relax and do normal things I can't do during workdays.

1. SLEEP during normal hours. I will not say that I am deprived of sleep because in truth, I am getting 8 hours of sleep almost everyday. It's just that, I go to bed at 4 or 5 am and not open my eyes until the sun is up high in the sky.

2. EAT properly. Again, I can't say that I lack food in my body, because it's very obvious from the layers that I have that I've been eating a lot. What I miss most when I'm at work is eating healthy food and eating on time and without hurry.

3. MEETING UP with friends. I think it's a perfect way to de-stress after a long day at work, but I work on different hours as theirs. That's why every chance I get to see them, I am just so sabik with stories and hugs and laughter.

4. WATCHING TV. Pinoy Henyo at Tsuper Sweet Lover na lang naaabutan ko :(((

5. READ and relax.

There are so many things I'm missing, but I know there's also more I'm getting. That's why every time I wake up on the wrong side of the bed, I just pray that God takes me out of my kaartehan and just go on with my day.

Yesterday, I went Christmas shopping for my dearest inaanaks. I also bought something for myself - a pair of shoes from Converse Megasale! (I got it for less than a thousand! and it's one size smaller pero pagkakasyahin ko na lang =D) It's therapeutic, shopping. I also love the thought that the money I'm using to buy those goods are the fruits of my labor. I hope that my inaanaks would love Ninang's gifts. Gifts for Mama, Papa, Ate and the list goes on - still not accomplished.

Today, I got braces and my gums are hurting at this very moment. My teeth are worse than I thought.

Okay now, I'm going to restore some normalcy in my life, read a little (btw, I'm reading Sebold's The Lovely Bones) and sleep and wake up early.

Life is good. Muahz! =)
