Constant Fried!

Every time I'd open our refrigerator, I’d see carrots, potatoes, raisins, cabbage, eggs, broccoli, ham, sausage, ginger, milk, chicken, poultry, beef (I love going to Walmart and buy you know...) and guess what our breakfast would be? Yes, fried eggs. Same refrigerator, same contents, and our lunch would be? Your right! fried sausage. Dinner? Well, it would be fried chicken! :)

It’s a constant struggle for me to cook, especially during weekends, because I am forced to!!! 

Oh my, talk about Our HOUSE ARREST this Winter Break!!! – I really thank God for friends who invited us to dinners, birthday parties, Christmas parties, get-together parties this Christmas time… I got to breathe in and breathe out, without having to look at our refrigerator and cook the same thing!!! Thank God for friends who shared their food to bring home... good enough to last until another party time! Lol!

OK we are not in the Philippines, had we been in the Philippines this will definitely NOT be a CHALLENGE! Why? Because, Ate Nhon and Mommy will rescue us! Hahaha

I don’t know how to cook, friends would teach me how, say, ADOBO, Oh, I have different versions! Never the same taste! Lol! Let me not tell you about my first fried egg! Well, until now, I still haven’t perfected my fried eggs!!! Terrible!

I thought I was normal, really! Until I shared this cooking passion of mine to a friend and told her exactly what I am writing now, ME and MY REFRIGERATOR! I told her what I have and she said, good, you could have Menudo or Afritada or Beef Brocolli for lunch or dinner...  HA??? 

How is it possible that we can look at the same things and think differently???

How is it possible that we can look or have the same things and produce different results???

I’m in trouble! Well, I always am, especially because I have a husband to feed!!! Lol!

Funny, how it relates to God’s gift of life and blessings, how we may have the same things, be it big or small, and yet think differently and produce different results...

For now, the first step, I guess, would be to quit saying “I don’t know how to cook”, because the more I say it, the more it actualizes!

Let me look at our refrigerator again... Mmmm... mmmm... It's time to sleep. :)

God bless Gemma! err God bless Gemma's friends! Lol!

~Happy 2012~

    Gemma,

    Good Morning!

    Try not to indulge and spoil loved-ones with oily meals. Why not try to give them in the morning as for their breakfast either porridge with slices of fruits or flakes with slices of fruits too.

    Their health will benefit most and it's not too tasking to cook one of those as well.

    Yours,

    Vicky David

    I used not to like cooking, not until I realized na one day i want to cook for my wife specially when she is pregnant :) ayun! kablam! patok sa pagluluto si mokong! ahahaha

    Yaka lang ang pagluluto :) kaya Happy Cooking :)

Redirecting Thoughts!

Sometimes, we forget to take control of our minds. There are times that we just do a lot of things out of habit. We do a lot of things unconsciously. These days, whenever I find myself “thinking”, I am making sure I am thinking productive things. What will I do next?; What are my plans today?;How will I go about today’s activities? If alone in the car, driving, I’d deliberately turn on the positive, encouraging radio station, since their kind of music is good for the soul. I could listen and know that it is all good. As much as possible, I try not to think of negative or bad things. Why? Because I’ve proven that whenever I do that, it boomerangs on me! There was this one time when I felt so pissed off with my husband that my mind was just creating all these negative vibes! Asked what happened next? The more my husband got pissed off. I wasn’t even saying anything, it was all mind power, and it hasn’t done any good! So I experimented the next time it happened, ins...

Overspeeding!!!

credit While driving, a police car passed me by, turned around and followed me. I slowed down.  credit It gave a warning for me to stop. I did.  I was running a lot of excuses in my mind but decided to put it all aside. I prayed instead - Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be. A police women came. "Hi!" I said, "Hello!" "Ok", she said, "I pulled you over, because you were running at 60mph in a 45 lane". I said "I'm sorry". She said "Now do you have driver's license, registration and insurance?" I said, "Yes". There was a pause (Oh, I guess, this was the time when I should have given her everything already), she repeated, "So, you do have your driver's license, registration and insurance?" I said, "Yes", and took out my driver's license.  She took it, and said, "so you've never been stopped before?" I said, ...
