anong title?

Basically, i do not know anong title isulat rito.

I had this terrible headache since last Thursday (23rd). Yung tipong mahihimatay ka na sa sobrang sakit. More than a week na masakit pa rin ulo ko. Yung naghihilot sa akin last Monday sabi niya dahil daw sa sobrang lakas ng palpitations ko kaya nahihilo, nanghihina at sumasakit na ulo ko. Anong koneksyon? hehehe.. Mahaba explanation niya di ko lang ma-explain hehehe.

Naisip ko tuloy baka kalahi ko ang mga taga ‘WANTED’ characters kaya malakas palpitations ko hehehe.

I am losing weight kahit di ako nag eexercise at nag da-diet. For me, it’s good news.

Pero for my health mukhang hindi.

Eh ano ginagawa ko? I do not complain at home anymore on how or what I feel because I am scared of the word ‘DOCTOR’.

However my mom can read from my face how I am feeling. Somehow I cannot hide how and what I feel. Mga mama talaga, the best!

I am kind of scared of my health already sa totoo lang. Lately, nanghihina na talaga ako to the point na last Monday after watching Max Payne, akala ko hihimatayin na ako sa loob ng SM Davao. I was alone.

I was constantly praying wag naman sana dito nakakahiya. sobra. “Lord, wag na wag mo akong pahiyain rito sa loob ng SM… pauwiin mo muna ako…”

Tinawagan ko na lang si Karlo for 19.05 minutes to be exact hehehe. Ganon na man talaga basta feeling ko mamamatay na ako siya agad naiisip ko, ewan ko hehehe. Siguro kung matutuluyan ako, siya una kong mumultuhin! hehehe! The last time I was alone at home at gabi pa bigla di na ako makahinga and was in a super panic mode I texted him and he called several times to ask kumusta na ako. Yun na ang pinakanakakatakot na moment, I really thought tapos na ako. Could not breathe for I do not know how long.

then again… yoko magpa doctor dahil mamatay ako ng maaga sa nerbyos. naisip ko, tumatanda na kasi ako kaya ganito hehehe.

Pero to be honest, I am mot really scared of dying. Sana nga lang maayos ang mga buting-tings kung ganon may mamatay… maayos financially para naman di magka problema ang pamilya naiwan… socially, para walang dalang grudges sa libingan at walang iniwang utang hehehe … spiritually, para naman happy!

Alone with Her

Alone with her is a movie to warn people of invasion of privacy and domestic spying. Terror started when a young man has a secret obsession for a beautiful Latina woman and started stalking her by planting hidden cameras and listening devices in her home. He learned her tastes in movies, music and books and used these information to befriend her in the cafeteria. He also learned her most intimate secrets she does alone in her room and house. He got more obsessed with her as he tried to manipulate her life in relationships with other men and even with her besfriend.

Lead actor is Tom Hanks’ charming son Colin  .

WWE Cyber Sunday

I was sick since last Thursday and I was not able to wake up early last Monday to watch the entire live wrestling matches.

Good thing there will be a replay tomorrow November 2 on Jack TV.

I was able to watch the last part on Undertaker’s match with Big Show and the good thing is this time the first one won!

The results were great as Triple H won again to defend his belt against Jeff Hardy.

Most of all ‘ the animal’ Batista won and got the new Heavyweight WWE CHampion against Jericho. People get to vote who would be the referee for the match. Steve Austin got it.

Though at the last part, Austin was accidentally knocked out by Batista so next in line was Jericho’s eternal enemy HBK Shawn Michaels. Funny when Batista got knocked out, HBK made the longest count in history of WWE so Jericho did not win. Then JBL came and knocked HBK out. The last in line to referee was the boastful Randy Orton  who came to help Jericho in beating Batista. As the script went by, Steve A. woke up and beat Randy O.

Can’t wait to watch the complete matches tomorrow!

Payne in the ***

I watched Max Payne and I was not happy about it.

Nothing new…

Nothing suprising…

Mila Kunis make-up was not even good, too much foundation.

Should have watched Eagle Eye instead since I haven’t watched it yet…

That glow: Celebrities with the healthiest, most gorgeous skin

from: healthy living

Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester, Halle Berry, Sandra Oh — who doesn’t want to smile up at a camera with their amazing, glowy skin? While I ponder the fantasy of having the caramel loveliness of Eva Mendes one day and the scrubby-clean fair skin of Reese Witherspoon the next, perhaps it’s time to get working on making my own face a little more camera-ready.

We’ve all read the tips for making our skin look great a thousand times. And we’ve all had countless conversations with our girlfriends, mothers, the make-up counter clerk, the nice lady at Starbucks about how to finally get our faces in beautiful shape. What could we possible learn by hearing it all again?

Maybe nothing. But maybe this will be the one time we take some steps to make our skin feel healthier and look phenomenal. With that hope and with some inspirational photos of the women in Hollywood with the most gorgeous skin, here are some no-duh tips that we’ve never quite gotten around to implementing but still, just make good sense:

1. Sleep on it. You know how your face feels sucked dry after one of those too fun, late-late nights? Or how ragged you felt the first year after you were up every hour with your new baby? You’re not just feeling the effects of a lack of sleep, they are also showing up on your skin. There’s really no other way around making this kind of investment in your skin’s health other than setting a bedtime and sticking to it. You might not see the results in the morning, but wait until that 20th high school reunion, friend. It will all be revealed then.

2. Hydrate it. Yeah yeah yeah, there’s always going to be some debate about how much water you should be drinking. No matter where you side on the four glasses vs. eight glasses debate, just drink up! You will feel more alert, which means you will look more alert. Don’t be afraid to serve up your skin a nice cocktail of moisturizer, too. If you’re really feeling radical (or parched, either way), take a day off of make-up altogether and go on a little water-drinking, moisturizer bender. Think how perked up and pretty your skin will look after all that self-care.

3. Feed it. If you’re going to eat for energy, longevity and to keep up with your busy days, why not also eat for fabulous skin? Making small adjustments — like adding a cup of green tea to your nightly ritual or using sunflower oil in your stirfry– might do as much or more for your skin’s glow as all the products on your bathroom counter.

4. Protect it. I admit that as the seasons change, I have a bad and unconscious habit of stowing the sunscreen away as soon as I pack up my sandals. The reality is that we can still get loads of exposure to harmful UVA and UVB rays when it is cloudy and we do need the protection of sunscreen all year round. The two seconds it takes to slather on a bit of block means you will be guarding your skin from sunburns today and from cancer, wrinkles and sunspots in the years to come. And hello! Have you seen Nicole Kidman’s porcelain skin? It’s gorgeous, even under that giant hat and what has to be a pint of sunscreen.

5. Gently address the sins of your skin past. Acne scars, sun damage and other skin ickiness is a reality for most of our faces. Sure, I’d love to have the baby-soft, wrinkle-free skin of my 20s, but no product, nap or gallon of water is going to make that happen magically. Rather than worry too much about the little flaws (the worrying, by the way, causes me to make one of those scrunched up faces that cannot exactly be erasing the little lines, can it?), be kind to the body you have now. See a dermatologist (who doesn’t yell — sometimes a trick to find), try some gentle products that will fade scars, clear up dark circles and banish the blemishes making an appearance now. Healing will happen and in the meantime, use a bit of concealer until it’s all sorted out.

Moving out

I badly want to move out from my parent’s house. I wake up every morning grouchy because I feel my room is getting smaller and smaller everyday.

This has been a constant debate between me and my mother who never wants me to move out.

It is not that I do not want their company anymore, but I need my own space. I need to be totally alone sometime.

Gawd, I really want to have my own house. As of now, I am looking for a house to rent. Hope I can manage to sleep in a house or apartment alone since I am scared of a lot of things.

A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story

I was touched by the story and I can’t help but understand how each of the main characters felt and struggled with the issue of homosexuality: mother, Gwen, friends, family, the boyfriend and the judgemental people in the society.

A true story of a young transgendered teen who was born Eddie Araujo but changed her name into Gwen. As a young boy, he would wear his mother’s make-up and wear dresses but his mother thought it was just a phase a lot of kids go through though she found it odd. In highschool, he got the support and love from his mother and older sister and soon with the rest of the extended family. The mother left the abusive father and raised all three kids on her own.

When he was in highschool, he changed her name into Gwen and lived a life of a teenage girl. She fell in love with a man whom she dated for nine (9) months who was not aware of her gender because they were not enganged into sex. Her usual reasons was she was still a virgin and was not yet ready for it. The mother who does not want Gwen to get hurt confronted the boyfriend which led to their breakup and Gwen into partying, alcohol,  and oral sex with different boys.

Eddie Araujo was brutally killed at the age of 17 by the hands of three (3) teenage boys after they discovered that she was male. Thye beated her for 5 hours, tied then buried her. Two of them were arrested of second-degree murder, the other one of manslaughter. However, none of them were convicted by the judge and the jury.

bagong ‘crush’

Nung Sunday, may nakita ako cute na nagsimba. Napansin ko siya nung magkokumnyon na… naka puti siya na ‘ateneo law’ shirt.

pwamis, naging instant crush ko na sana. Pero familiar talaga hitsura niya. Skulmeyt ko ba?

Nagranong-tanong agad ako.

Naalala ko na siya… lech mid 20s pa or early 20 pa ata ang batang eto. Matangkad lang at maganda ang katawan kaya mukhang matured.

Hay buhay.

Isa siyang ex-seminarian na kumukuha ng law sa addu ngayon.

Geez… ang gwapo niya talaga hehehe

Cooking German Beef Roulade!

My German student and friend Birger who is working in the I.T. department of a company at the same time has a business of his own shared some of the common German recipes. One of them is the German Beef Roulade.

Ingredients:

beef flank steak 

German mustard or Dijon mustard, will do

bacon, diced

 onion

 dill pickles

 flour

 beef broth

*** I substituted honey for mustard…

Directions

1. 1

   With meat mallet or rolling pin, flatten meat to about a 10×8 rectangle.

2. 2

   Spread with mustard (or in my case with honey).

3. 3

   In large skillet on medium high heat, cook bacon and onion til bacon is crisp.

4. 4

   Pour off fat reserving 1/4 cup in skillet.

5. 5

   Spread bacon mix over meat.

6. 6

   Sprinkle pickle on top.

7. 7

   Roll up meat from short end and secure with string or turkey pins.

8. 8

   Place meat roll in skillet over medium high heat in reserved bacon fat and brown on all sides.

9. 9

   Remove to 13×9 baking dish.

10. 10

    Stir flour into fat in skillet and blend until smooth, gradually stirring in beef broth.

11. 11

    Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened.

12. 12

    Pour sauce over beef roll.

13. 13

    Cover and bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until done.

14. 14

    Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

15. 15

    Skim fat from sauce, strain and serve with meat.

 

I burnt the sauce so as with Birger’s advice, I mixed the fat oil, red wine and milk as sauce. It was perfect!

It’s supposed to look like these:

However, I got bad shots of my beef roulade but tastes really great! My family loved it!

Here are my pictures:
