Samu’t Sari (ulit)

1.     I created a new playlist in my Ipod yesterday. It’s the “Idol” playlist. Dito ko nilagay lahat ng Idol related songs. So far – I like Chris Daughtry (Daughtry), Carrie Underwood (Some Hearts), Elliot Yamin (self titled — This guy is a huge surprise. The album is really good), Kelly Clarkson(Breakaway). I am not too sure of Katherine McPhee’s album (self titled).It seems that the album is going in different directions. She’s not sure if she wants to be the next Beyonce or a rock star or a sentimental singer.  I am not a fan of Fantasia’s Album (self titled)too. Not sure why but I keep on seeing Donald Duck every time I hear Fantasia. I have the winning songs of Jordin Sparks (This is my now) and Blake Lewis (You give love a bad name) and I like them both. I have a couple of Taylor Hick’s songs pero di ko pa ito napapakinggan… kaya no judgement muna. As for the other idols… hmmm .. hanap na lang ako ng madownload sa net hehehe… o baka naman may mga mababait akong kaibigan na magpapahiram sa akin… any friend who wants to be elevated to nice status?     

 2.     I had a haircut last Friday. Yup I’m bald now…. Okay.. an exaggeration… I’m short-haired now. Gone are the days of long, black, shiny hair. O sige na po… puro reactions – gone are the days of long, black, bad hair days. Now – it’s short (too short for my liking) and easier to manage. Pagkaligo – kaunting suklay.. can na. Di tulad dati na kailangan pagtuunan ng pansin at panahon. Ngayon green and go lagi. Sabi ng katabi ko dito sa office … I look very young daw… mukha na kasi akong sanggol hehehehe….  

3.     I experienced a momentous event last Saturday. Finally — nakapunta na rin ako sa Holland Village! Yes! Hehehe… I watched Oceans 13 with Cha and Elaine sa Vivo City. After the movie – nagkayayaan mag-dinner. I told them we can check out The Station Kitchen at St. James Power Station or Holland Village. Una naming pinuntahan ang Station Kitchen – the place looks ok…  di lang naming trip that night. So… Holland Village! Yes! We took the cab kasi di naming alam kung saan yun. Nung nakita ko na… initial reaction ko is wala lang… para lang pala syang Siglap. Am initially wondering bakit masyadong hype ang lugar na ito. Pero okay pala syang tambayan. The place is nice and quiet (compared to Orchard/East Coast). We decided to eat at NYDC – stayed there till around 1:00 a.m. Kain, tawanan… catching up… I will definitely go back… hirap maghanap ng masayang tambayan.. and Holland Village definitely suits me just fine…… 

4.     I went to Moomai’s house last night (Sunday) as she is begging me to attend a product demonstration. As I am a very good friend – I attended (with her promising that dinner is free!). The product – Saladmaster. Nung una — deadma lang ako. Kasi madalas na natin nakikita itong mga ganitong gimik sa TV shopping. Anyway – dahil sa di naman ako bastos (masyado) I listened intently. Aba – first demo was to cook Betty Crocker cake without the vegetable oil and water. Tapos hinaluan pa nila ng shredded carrots and zucchini. Aba… kakaiba. They use the saladmaster sauce pan. Tapos habang niluluto ang cake – nagluto naman ng sinigang…. Na walang tubig. Opo… hinalo-halo lang ang pork/vegetables(kasam yung pechay leaves)/sinigang mix sa saladmaster wok at niluto na in low heat. Habang niluluto — nagprito din ng chicken sa saladmaster electric skillet. Prito lang.. no oil. Nagsaing din using the saladmaster sauce pan. Nung naluto na lahat… around an hour — pinatikim na. Wow.. sarap.. malasa lahat. I was amazed by the sinigang. May sabaw na sya. The vegetables are cooked just right… hindi nalanta yung pechay considering sabay ito nilagay with pork. The chicken is very crispy. Sarap. The cake – well its your normall Betty Crocker cake pero di malasahan yung carrots and zucchini. Amazing hehehe… I was actually ready to buy… hanggang malaman ko ang presyo – the set with promo (na kasama na yung mga gusto ko) costs around SGS$6,500. Opo… in pesos — around 200K. So expensive. Hay. Pero lifetime warranty daw… and very durable. May mga patotoo naman na it’s a very good product. A friend’s grandmother bought dati (early 50s yata) and nagagamit pa rin nila ngayon.  Hay. Si Moomai bumili na pala. Sabi ko nga hiramin ko na lang hehehe… If you want to know more their website is www.saladmaster.com. Nga pala. Sabi nung nagdemo – Kris Aquino bought the entire set sa Pinas… around 1 million pesos lang naman ang presyo… biro mo.. si Kris — nag-deal! So.. tingin nyo.. Deal or No Deal?  

5.     Bought a Nautica cardigan… for a bargain price of SGD$62! May 20% discount kasi dahil sa Great Singapore Sale. It’s actually a steal. Lam nyo naman… hirap maghanap ng size for me dito sa land of the payatots…. Ngayon, ang problema ko na lang ay kung saan ko ito isusuot… Hmmm… makapunta nga sa Alaska…… Masarap kaya halo-halo dun?
