Lunch today was KFC’s Famous Bowl Kung Pao Chicken Pasta. The dish is probably copied from a Chinese food called Kung Pao Chicken that came from the Szechuan Province in China, famous for its spicy food.
I am fond of spicy food and this one tickled my fancy. It tastes good enough though the sauce should have been “thicker” instead of being a bit watery. It could be better when served paired with garlic buttered toast or a slice of pizza.

A block from where we live is a community of shanties where probably several hundreds of families live. I am concerned for our own safety when the young male people roam the streets at night. When they pass by our home, they talk heckle, laugh, shout like they have the right to do so, even if its late at night. They hurl stones at a neighbor’s mango tree teeming with green mangoes. They are unpredictable and I probably do not have to say I know why.
With the recent UP Fair fiasco where a lot of jumping jologs violently disrupted what could have been a fun concert, we wonder what is happening to these youth who are supposed to be the hope of the nation?
Sure, I always say, we should have heart to understand those who are considered as “underprivileged” or those who have “less” but if they behave like savages and do things that harm innocent people and destroy properties that are not theirs? I do not know why they are angst-ridden and their rage seem monumental

Para sa mga magsing-irog, importante ang magkaroon ng lugar na tipanan na masasabi nilang espesyal at bahagi ng kanilang relasyon. Dito sa tipanang ito, saksi ang lugar sa mga pangarap, paglalambing o kaya alitan ng mga magsing-irog.
For couples, it is important to have a meeting place that they consider special to them and is a part of their relationship. This place bears witness to their dreams, sweetness and even their arguments.
Kung ako ang papipiliin, mas gusto kong tipanan ang nature, kumbaga at least dito, kahit kung minsan hindi mo maintindihan ang panahon, mas kaiga-igaya at nakaka-relaks.
If it were up to me, I would prefer the meeting place to be outdoors because it is more relaxing.

Last night we (my two younger children and I) were able to watch dance performances depicting the Chinese culture in the mall where we usually spend an hour or two every Monday and Wednesday before we go home with the hubby.
Anyway, the performances were good and good thing I have a camera with me in my bag as I always do so I was able to take some photos. These performances were in celebration of the Chinese New Year which is celebrating the Year of the Ox.
Some of the dancers were barefoot while some wore flat shoes. There were those who wore high heels and I was afraid they might trip and fall on the wood flooring because some parts of the stage were moving when they move.
Good thing none of what I was thinking happened. Whew!
Kung Hei Fat Choi!

There are so many skin care products that are available in the market today that choosing one is not an easy task.
First, one has to know what type of skin he/she has to be able to know what products are safe to use. Not because these products are being advertised mean these are good.
I have asked blogging and real-life friends about their facial regimens a few months back.
They gave wonderful tips on how to prevent acne and/or how to have acne treatments. There were some complicated regimens and there were just simple regimens shared.
For starter, nothing beats a relaxed lifestyle though that is probably next to impossible with a lot of people and having nutritious food available.
