I HAVE GONE MONO for days straight now and it’s always been difficult for me to do much of anything except to eat and get so much sleep coz of weather and this lazy me soooo~ I’m going to make this what I cooked wednesday thingy as a self improvement stint instead. Haha. Yesss! And today, I did exactly that by making the perfect pasta fettucine with tuna and cherry tomatoes.
Mummy, I can cook! Yey~ :]]
Tuna fettuccine is always a classic midweek meal to the family, it’s done a lot like Filipino spaghetti, except it’s easier to make and it has practically the same basic ingredients minus the sweet taste. Believe me you don’t have to fuss with lots of seasonings or whatnots to put on this!
Proof!
What I did was to cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, made the sauce by mixing the chopped onions, fresh tuna steaks, salt & freshly ground pepper, oregano, cherry tomatoes and VOILA! top it over your fettuccine and then it’s magic. *_*
I guess it helps that the lovely long weekend hasn’t ended yet despite the rain showers going on in the Philippines.. well at least for me. Haha.
How about you guys, did you do anything productive today? Lemme know by commenting below! :]

MY FAMILY AND I just had an amazing night staying in a superior room at the Manila Peninsula Hotel+ Breakfast at Escolta! *_* And the whole night dining at the Manila Peninsula’s Spices. Gee. Asian cuisines! Receiving a complimentary 2lb cake also made my heart beat for love ‘coz it’s Mommy’s birthday. The Peninsula Card Membership is only Php7500/a year! It has tons of benefits, allowing you to get value for your money. Not recommended for penniless students though, ‘coz this is not gimik.XD But it was such a grandiose experience that we vouched to return soon with heaps of fun and not-so-many-money. :]
The Peninsula Card ♥
Should you wish to sign up for one, you’ll be asked for your name, contact number, address and payment details. Accepted are credit card, cash or cheque. Read more of the Peninsula Card’s Membership benefits here.
Had the breakfast buffet at Peninsula Manila’s Escolta ♥ Awsm! We had ccrispy bacon, milky scrambled eggs, soya milk, fresh donuts, yogurt, sashimi and more second helpings! YUMM. ♥
♥♥
We saw this on display before entering the restaurant.
Since daddy’s the bearer of the card, he gets 50% discount from the food bill for our dinner in Spices Restaurant. It’s transferable! Not valid on weekdays and public holidays, though.
Anyway, we had the best chili salmon and beef Colby, only spicier. And I think (again) I may have gained a couple MORE pounds. What the eff? Okay, I’m sorry but I’m still dreaming what chocolate cheesecake means. <3 But we love food, and we want them ALLL! :3 :3 :3
Mom’s complimentary 2lb cake with her preferred cake wording. 48-hour advanced reservation for this is required!
Few pics from the bunch.
♥♥♥
and of course, a couple of my kaartehan. haha.

IT’s 3 IN THE AFTERNOON and I just got done photoshopping pictures of food from the dinner I had over the week. I never had this much pictures of food before so I was like, omg I think I’m becoming a food blogger, what is wrong with me?! @_@ Anyway, I think I may have gained extra pounds too because a bowl of pasta is fattening. That plus the fact that having too much carbo slowed down my normal digestion and any chance of food oxidation. haha. But it was happy! And we had random relatives encounter! Also, going out for dinners with family is good for the soul and these I wouldn’t exchange for anything else. ^___^

PARENTS BROUGHT home pasalubong one rainy day and it was soo delish! Beard Papa’s Creampuffs! Yeahhh. :] Actually it’s been a while since I had creampuffs for a treat, but how cares, it’s still lovable for the time being! I only wish the Philippines shops had Nutella or Green Tea flavors. Dream dessert come true!
♥
On a higher note, there’s a creampuff font over the internets. AMAZING!

And since I don’t have anything much to blog about I’m just gonna leave you with pictures instead ‘coz my heart beats for love and I’m at the happiest point of my life right now. ((:
Fringe haircut for round face. I guess I still know nothing about cutting your own hair properly. Haha.
♥
But I do more than what I can do ‘coz you just gotta keep doing what you do best. Whatever that thing may be.
..and then it’s love.

EARLIER LAST WEEK I talked about the benefits of eating oatmeal cookies, raisins, fermented milk drinks and several quick-and-tasty options to jump-start your day.. I may have spoken too soon. ‘coz came Thursday I had bacon and eggs! Haha. XD Greasy, oily breakfast is optional and this is one of the happiest days of my 20 something life! Stewed fruits for breakfast like nilagang Saba and grapes goes well with protein rich eggs or meat and that is balanced meal. I’m not a morning person but breakfast still proves to be the happiest part of my day! Yeyeye. <3
Sunday I did my mom (and myself) a huge favor. I can’t keep up with all the crap on the internet, so I organized my room instead. I’d been stalked for weeks by strangers who love to hate and I mean not that there aren’t any a*holes in the world. These people can’t stand to see someone doing better than them or see that someone has something going for them and they just don’t. What the eff? XD Personally I dislike poverty, war, and horrible stuffs in the world like that. And hating is good! Just try to have some morals, people. XD
Anyhow.. didn’t know being this organized was possible! *_*

P.S. Guys! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to be one of your daily reading list. Having more than a hundred subscribers means so much to me – even up to now. I can’t believe it’s almost 2 years already! Thanks for putting Sidneyland on your links and for giving me cool ideas to generate so much traffic to the blog. I owe you all my life.
PPS. Tumblr is pretty amazing, and I have designed this floral-vintage-feel theme worth raving about that’s similar to my Twitter. Go check it here. :] Follow me.

I HAD TO POST THIS for you guys before I finished off the day. Here’s a giant-sized choco wacko from Dunkin Donuts. You’re welcome. As I’m accepting this round chocolate of goodness in my hands, there’s this drop of tears that burst from my eye. Fine. I shouldn’t be eating junk food right away after vouching for a diet the other day but srsly, this is the first time someone has actually brought me home a decent pasalubong! Except of course they’re my parents, who never failed to bring home something delish since they’re the best people in my life ever.
My brother is the greatest. <3

You know guys for the longest time I thought raisins were just plain terrible. XD Probably ‘coz I never actually googled and learned that mixing them with oatmeal will do the trick. Haha. 2 days in a row I’m having oatmeal cookies paired with milk for merienda and I’m starting to like Yakult milk, they make very good combination. I’m a sucker for anything that involves cookies and I like it more than I like most people too (ex. Nikki). Haha. Anyway, milk is healthy and sweet and raisin is a fruit that’s good for the body. Gotta have lots of oatmeal since it has fiber for long life too. *_*
How about you? What’s on your list of good eats lately? Make sure to let me know by sharing your thoughts below. :}}
