with gluttony being my topmost sin, i'm a bit baffled at why i haven't blogged much about food.
anyway, i've been addicted to salmon lately and have tried making salmon pasta (white sauce) and oven baked salmon. the first one i made for valentine's lunch and the latter i made for my birthday lunch. ^_^ here's my lunch today:
i think 3/5 for the pasta, 4/5 for the oven baked and the latest pan fried salmon.
this year, i'm thankful for friends, family, my dgroup sisters, and of course, tan. the Lord has blessed me so much and i could not ask for more.my birthday week started with a church message on giving. at the time, i did not grasp the implication yet. it is only now that i realize just how much this affects me especially this week. ^_^ it was my birthday and i did receive my share of gifts, but it felt great sharing my blessings through my birthday treats as well. this blessed sunday was then followed by a pampered monday, massage after work. on tuesday, treated the BLO (boys lunch out --not sure if the name still applies since i've been a part of it the past weeks) team to our favorite charlie's black angus with chili fries and clam chowder! full and satisfied, it was worth the stress brought on by work. wednesday, with the usual suspects (--lunch buddies) doing the ash wednesday thing and abstaining from real good food, i indulged with my favorite yellow cab hot wings!! since they've been out of wings for the past month and have been serving hot legs as replacement, which doesn't satisfy the craving as much, the timing was impeccable. thursday rolls on by and i treat my nss team, signaling team, and friends to shakey's for lunch. two monster deals and a tuna salad after, everybody's happy and content. real thankful for officemates who, over the years, are more friends than colleagues.on friday, the day my birthday falls on, i made my first baked salmon for brunch! happy with how it turned out.. you know how it is, happy tummy = happy jacq. ^_^
as with tradition and tan's yearly sacrifice of his pride and man-card, he brought me flowers. too bad they ran out of tulips, but hey, i'm nowhere close to complaining. the roses were pretty. ^_^
after brunch, we headed to moa without definite plans yet as to what we'd be busying our selves with. the only plan was to ride the supposed largest ferris wheel (in the country?) and enjoy the view, but God, in His perfect timing and plan led us to the ice skating rink instead. my second time on ice and it felt wonderful!
after that, we watched the sun set. tan took pictures. then we had dinner at charlie's. perfect black angus! as sir rp branded it, "the boracay of all burgers"! i regret not being able to take a pic of tan's first bite. it was his first time, and after weeks of trying to convince him to have lunch or dinner there, this was the moment.. his expression was incredulous! haha, he never thought any burger would taste as good. it was priceless. :D
lastly, i want to thank dan for giving me a dozen roses,
signaling team for the running/biking shirt,
and ma'am connie for the kikay kit and lippies!
dear God, thank You so very very much for giving me my perfect match. You have blessed me with a sweet, thoughtful, and loving boyfriend, and i could not ask for more.
been meaning to post this.here's my simple joy #3. a bottle or two of sparkling grape juice. have grown accustomed to having this during special occasions. this is due to the fact that i don't drink anything with alcohol, this serves as a nice bubbly replacement.
with valentine's day just around the corner, i'm thinking of having a bottle of the white grape ones with pasta or steak. ^_^
so i've been out of blog circulation for a while and got tons of stuff to post about.(darn "o" key is somewhat stuck >.<)first off, i want to thank God for a wonderful 2011. for all the blessings He has given me, for all the lessons learned, for the new friends, new experiences, for everything.next, i just want to share that i have "applied" for a singles d-group and i'm happy to report that things are going well. a bit embarrassing on my first day with them, but so blessed God gave me sisters who do not judge. i have had a minor breakdown recently and they were there for me. now, i miss them when i don't get to attend d-group on sundays.i started running again. just once a week while i'm still a wimp. will try and increase frequency and intensity in a month or so.look what i got.. belated christmas gifts from my ever loving bf:
sugar daddy much? hehe, i love you, tan!last but not least, sold pipay already T_T to buy a new phone. meet mika:
i know i'm more than a little late, but still, happy happy 2012 everyone!!!
