BIRINGHE

 

It is one of the favorite dish of Kapampangan. My mother loves this and it is only being cooked during “fiesta” (feast) in our “barangay”. It is somehow resembles like Paella or Arroz Valenciana made of glutinous rice but cooked in coconut milk. It is also cheaper I think compared to the other two I’ve mentioned.

 

I hope that you will enjoy this recipe.

 

 

DONE WITH MY FIRST TRIMESTER, THANK GOD!

 

Time flies so fast. I’ve finished my first trimester already and I am on my way to my second trimester.

 

God has been so good; I never experienced any difficulties during my first trimester. Aside from pimples/acne break out (yikes!), being tired and always sleepy, I never had any other issues. So far, all my blood test and urinalysis (laboratory) to monitor my sugar, thyroid, iron, hemoglobin etc. etc…. are all good as per my doctor.

 

I AM A SOON-TO-BE “MOM” (YEAH!)

 

Oh my, it happened so fast.

 

I am delayed for a few days and my husband is teasing me that maybe I am pregnant. I haven’t done any pregnancy test as it is too early as my friends told me. But I felt something different in me. I didn’t experience any morning sickness such as dizziness or vomiting etc... I just felt that I am always hungry which is unusual for me because I don’t eat rice (except on my cheat day) for a couple of months now and I eat small portion that is enough to get me through the day/night. But this time is different; I have to wake up early in the morning to eat something (sometimes I only drink water). I also need to frequently go to the bathroom to pee. I am always tired and sleepy. Are these signs of pregnancy?

THREE LESSONS LEARNT ON CAR ACCIDENT

 

 

I didn’t imagine that I would witness a car accident collision involving me and family members. It happened up close as I was in front of the car and the collision was on the passenger side (my side). My eyes were open and I saw vividly what had happened.

 

FIVE THINGS WE DID IN OUR HONEYMOON IN MALDIVES

 

 

I feel excited on this trip as it is the first time that I will travel with my hubby. Yey! Although we were exhausted after our wedding preparation and celebration, we were able to take a rest during our flight (we were sleeping during the entire flight).

 

Initially, I was a bit hesitant to go to this place as it is quite expensive considering that we have some expenses after our wedding. But my husband convinced me that it is just once in a lifetime experience. So when I am persuaded to pursue it, I booked our hotel using booking.com. We booked our stay in one of the beautiful island of Maldives, Paradise Island Resort. It is about 9.6km away from Velana International Airport (Male) and takes 15-20 minutes by speedboat. With 62 water bungalows and 220 beach bungalows, total 282 rooms all with modern 5 star facilities. The island is 931m in length and 201m width. I recommend this island resort based on my personal experience. The staffs are friendly and accommodating.

I AM OFFICIALLY A “MRS.” :)

 

I can’t believe it but it is true. My civil status is now officially married. I thought that it will remain single for the rest of my life J

 

I never thought that this time will still come. When I was younger I’ve been dreaming about having my own family with my loving husband and wonderful kids etc.… I could still remember the answer of Sushmita Sen (Miss Universe 1994), on the question, “What is the essence of being a woman?” She answered, “Just being a woman is God’s gift that all of us must appreciate. The origin of a child is a mother, and is a woman. She shows a man what sharing, caring and loving is all about. That is the essence of a woman.” I also grew up in a big family and we get along well, so I thought that having a family and children will bring me fulfillment as a woman. I also prayed to God to give me someone that will complement me and be my better half for the rest of my life.

ALL ABOUT CREDIT: TIPS ON HOW TO MINIMIZE/ELIMINATE DEBT

 

 

                Every person I meet, everywhere I go has debt. Even I have loans and credit card bills. Personally, I don’t like debt. I don’t want to owe anything to anyone. But I guess it is a part of our society. But I learned that it is better to minimize my debt or totally eliminate it so that I can gain ownership of my monthly income. It is my choice.
