Pacman is back

The Filipino ultimate champ Manny "pacman" Pacquiao is back in manila Wednesday. It said in the reports that he arrived around 4 o'clock in the morning Wednesday from las Vegas after defeating golden boy Oscar de la hoya. It was really a good fight though. And I saluted manny for that.

Pacquiao headed directly to Quiapo church for thanksgiving mass. Its really amazing that a Filipino boxer like manny never forgets to pray and ask prayers from GOD. That really is the right thing to do because without GOD there will be no victories for manny.

It is his faith,courage and determination to win that makes manny a good boxer. Not every boxer can do that but manny managed to do it.

The ultimate champ will go to malacanang for a courtesy call. President arroyo is so proud about the victory of manny. Manny is so blessed that every victory he had made he shares it to every Filipino people and not only to himself.

Christmas day

Christmas is nearly approaching, and i have a lot of food in mind. I really want it to be special because this our first Christmas as husband and wife. I'm looking forward to it. I'm thinking about what food to prepare since we are all excited about what food to cook. Since my husband always do the cooking, I want to make up with him. I will be the one to cook this time. He doesn't know it yet that's why its called a surprise. I was thinking about cooking "ADOBO".

Adobo is a filipino national dish. Theres a lot of versions in cooking adobo. They have very different yet tasty ingredients. This is my adobo version. Here are the ingredients:

PORK ADOBO:

1 kilo of sliced meat
soy sauce
vinegar
laurel leaves
salt
black peppercorns
garlic cloves, peeled
onions
cooking oil
pinch of sugar
some water

1.put meat into large pot mixed with 6 parts soy sauce and 3 parts vinegar
2.mixed spices together add more garlic for better taste (more garlic better the taste)
3.marinate meat with spices for about 15 to 30 minutes
4.add some water to the pot about half full so that it will have a very tasty sauce
5.add a pinch of salt and sugar(sugar for sweetness)
6.cover and let it cook for 30 minutes until it meat is tender

The adobo is ready to prepare when meat is tender.
This is my version of adobo. Less expensive and definitely tasty!

My being pregnant

Being pregnant is a tough one. I can almost feel that im getting bigger and bigger. I always ask my husband about my figure and as a loving husband he always say that i look the same as before, sexy and that im getting beautiful everyday. Thats the role of every husband, they will never say that were ugly or even worst. I always see myself in a mirror and i tell you i am getting bigger and voluptuous.

My back really hurts. I cant get up directly cause my tummy is heavy. My husband teaches me how to get up the pregnant way. And i tell you its not easy. And when it is time to get up in the morning, I have to roll and get up sideways. I have to eat vegetables, I have to drink milk twice a day, in the morning and right before sleeping. I really don't have any choice cause i want whats best for my baby.

The truth is i really enjoy being pregnant because i don't have anything to do but to eat, sleep,watch TV, and take a nap. My husband has to do every chores in the house. He cooks my meal, he prepares my breakfast and lunch even my milk. He really is a good husband. He really takes good care of me. Even my parents have to cook for me if my husband is at work.

I mean what more can you ask for? Its not always that a husband is always there for you when you need him the most. I cant complain. What Im really thinking right now is this coming May, my month of labor cause it will be my first and I don't know how. I always pray to GOD that He will help me get through with this. And im always counting on Him.

I really cant complain cause this is what me and my husband is praying for. It took us a year for this and we almost gave up, I mean I almost gave up. This will be a big change in my life cause I will no longer be the same as before. I will be a mom to this baby. A good and loving mom to this baby. I hope so.
