SPAM Tocino and Egg Sandwich

My dish of the month is........ SPAM Tocino and Egg Sandwich (as the title says :D) with BBQ-flavored French Fries on the side.  Unfortunately, no photos to upload because we were so hungry and excited to taste the latest Limited Edition of SPAM, our very own, Tocino! :)

Today is a holiday (Araw ng Kagitingan) and a perfect time go shopping in Divisoria!  For just Php 2,400.00, I got the following:

• 3 dresses ( 3 for 1000)
• 1 stretched blue pants (300)
• 1 floral skirt (250)
• 1 pair of flat shoes from Payless (600)
• 1 white polo blouse (250)

Nice, isn't it? :)

Company Outing in Fontana

Summertime means Company Outing, one of the things I missed while I was still working in Singapore.  Our company was generous enough to held an overnight stay in Fontana for approximately 800 employees.  That's huge! :D 

We started the day with fun-filled group activities (sorry, due to implicit company policy, I can't upload photos of us wearing our singlets) which is included in our annual house competition.  Our lunch was served a little late but good thing the meals were good.  After checking in to our assigned villas, we went straight to the water park to refresh ourselves.  We tried the river, pool wave and slides.  It was great to be with the company of crazy and fun people.

But the best has yet to come.  After getting our dinner, we went out of the resort, met our friend in Angeles City and headed to the red light district.... yes... RED LIGHT DISTRICT :D  and the rest as they say... what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas :D

And before going home the next day, my friends Richard and Rey went to Puregold Duty-Free to buy some pasalubongs for our families.

2014 Plans (2nd Quarter)

I'm so happy and proud to say that all my 1st quarter plans for this year which I posted here was a success!  Congratulations to me! ;)

And as we enter the 2nd quarter, here are my new set of plans:

1.  Still, continue being an active blogger by posting at least 2 entries per week.

2. Cook at least 1 dish per month (from 2 to 1, 'coz it looks like I'll be very busy in the coming days but still, I don't want to miss cooking)

3.  I have already lost 2 lbs since the year started and I have two goals in mind:

     a. Maintain my weight at 52kgs or lose some more; and

     b. Cut off some fats from my belly and arms :D

4. Quarterly meet-ups with friends continue, so I'll see them again in June.

5. Try new food/resto at least once a month.

6. Visit new places at least once a month.

And this is not a prank for April Fools' Day, this is going to be for real. ;)

Spiral @ Sofitel

Thanks to my dear friend Tabel for sharing with us her Spiral voucher that gives us 50% off on dinner buffet.  So, as part of our quarterly meet-up and Nikki's birthday celebration, we had a sumptuous dinner buffet at Sofitel yesterday.

My verdict?  Hhmmm.... IMHO, the quality of food was superb, the selection was just fine and the rate was too much, yes, even at a discounted price.  Except for the foie gras, the rest of the dishes can be found in other buffet restaurants like Vikings and at a much lower price with similar taste.  But no regrets in trying it out, with good friends.. good food... it only means... good times :)

Corregidor Island

History is one of my favorite subjects since high school.  I can still remember, I got a perfect score in one of our periodical exams in Philippine History when I was a high school freshman.  My interest in this subject started when I was still a kid, being exposed to current events made me asked gazillion of questions to my father about how things turned out the way they are.  And one cannot talk about Philippine history without mentioning World War II in which, my dear country had a great part in, or is it the other way around? Anyhoo, just this morning, my parents, friends and I had a historic tour of Corregidor Island, an island located at the entrance of Manila Bay in southwestern part of Luzon and played a great and significant part in Philippine History.

To know more about its history, please visit Corregidor Island website.

The tour is a "must" for all Filipinos, specially the students who are slowly losing interest in their roots and citizens who have lost in touch of history.
