Last weekend, I pulled-out my Xmas decors and was actually thinking of decorating the house. Somewhere between opening the boxes and setting up our small Christmas tree, I lost the interest in finishing it up and ended the day by placing all the decors back into the box.
Its been a wonder for me how come National Bookstore and SM malls can make a simple tree majestic, but Shopwise can't seem to. Now that Christmas is once again just around the corner, with my own house to decorate (its only our 2nd Christmas in our house), I feel the urge to once again find that perfect Christmas tree solution.
Then I remembered posting this...
So for this year, We will do this. Now, how to stick those abubots is another planning session.
:-)
Here's another brilliant idea...
Although, Im pretty sure the house will have scattered post-its all around becasue Taal will try to pick it up from the wall and stick it somewhere else...
But its another option...
Now, if i can only find something else... Any suggestions?
I have always been a big fan of sandwiches. If i had time, i'd make one everyday for baon! And my love for delis also made my mind create super sandwiches of different hams and sausages in my head.
Last week i dropped by Chowking in Pacific Star for my usual breakfast take out every morning. I saw this booth in the far end corner "the Sandwich Guy" but was hesitant to try because it looked like they just opened and no one was really buying. You know what they say, when its being mugged, it must be good. So i just ordered congee from Chowking and headed to the office. Jollibee is my normal breakfast buddy, that say I bought Chowking, can be called a special day. :-)
This morning, I was thinking of trying something different again. Was actually considering Pancake House in Petron, then that 45minute traffic in Sucat Road made me crave for Sandwich and the only thing in my mind is "the sandwich guy" in Pacific Star. When I got there, there were around 6 people in line waiting for ntheir sandwiches. But i patiently waited for my turn. I watched the crew make the sandwich and this time i was already so hungry i wanted to get a taste of all their sandwiches.
When it was my turn to order, I blurted the HBLT (Ham, Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato and cheese), because the guy crew was making 5 HBLTs and each overflowing with shredded bacons! I also wanted their crab stick and mango but it was not available so I settled for their English Egg Salad.
I ate that this morning.... and no regrets at all...
I already had to have a bite before taking a picture! See that chunky slices of eggs? It was really good. And the contents were in generous amounts! Unlike other sandwiches for sale.
For P60.00 this is definitely a must-try.
My lunch sandwich awaits....

Thanks to The Nest for this 10 Kitchen-Cleaning Tricks
When you think about it, you practically spend as much time in your kitchen as you do your bedroom -- and it can get just as messy. Follow our easy plan to keep it looking more fab than frat-house.
Clean Weekly:
- Appliance faces: Use a mild cleaner or make a paste of baking soda and water to clean. Dissolve grease on the stovetop with a sponge soaked in white vinegar.
- Microwave: Soak the turntable in sudsy water while you wipe up interior splatters. Or try a steam clean: Fill a microwave-safe glass with 2 cups of water and either 1 teaspoon of vanilla or a few slices of lemon. Run on high for 5 minutes and wipe the sweet-smelling interior clean with a paper towel.
- Countertops: Spray on an all-purpose cleaner (or run disposable wipes over the surface) and let it sit 10 minutes.
- Sink: Pour down several quarts of boiling water to flush out grease. Follow with 1 cup of white vinegar and scrub the basin with baking soda.
- Floors: Wash tile or stone floors with 1 cup vinegar and 1 gallon of water. For icky grout, mix 1 Tbl. bleach and 2 cups warm water. Scrub with an old toothbrush.
Clean Monthly:
- Oven: If you don't have a self-clean oven, sprinkle salt on the residue while the oven is still warm. When it cools, scrape it up with a spatula and wipe clean with a cloth. Got stuck-on crud? Use a nylon scrubby sponge dipped in soapy hot water.
- Fridge: Wash the interior with a solution of baking soda and warm water, about 1/2 cup of baking soda for every gallon of water. Clean the drain pan and vacuum underneath the refrigerator.
- Garbage can: Hose it down with hot water; then spray with a disinfectant.
- Cabinets: Wipe them down with 1/2 cup white vinegar or a solution of 1/4 cup liquid oil soap and 1 gallon of warm water.
- Dishwasher: Run a complete cycle with an empty machine (just detergent) for a clean, deodorized space.
Hmmm... I wonder if the husband will let me do this... I actually like its chaotic-artistic-bright-homey effect.... But restrictions restrictions.... tsk tsk tsk... Thanks to Apartment Therapy for this photo.
