homemade buko pandan

thai style - coffee + strong tea (lipton) + condensed milk on ice

breakfast - coffee w cream & splenda, green peas with olive oil, pepper & calamansi

lost 35 lbs na, 20 more to go

Dumbbells are good though. I was able to go up from 10lbs to 25 lbs in a few months. I do 6-8 reps per arm and 9 different exercises. Makes you feel much stronger

Also good a dessert topping is toasted pinipig. just buy raw pinipig. toast in a medium hot pan. and use to top ice cream, etc

home made popsicles are also good. we make using ginataan, melon + melon juice + a little sugar, buko etc

Spent a lot on our personal trainer. Kaya lang I felt he'd push us too much so the sessions were not enjoyable. So we stopped it after a few months.

i have an expensive elliptical & rowing machine and also dumb bells in my office.

Gathering dust, but i will use again someday.

Best for me was changing lifestyle and diet and I started walkng to my office. Maybe 30min walk. I've lost 35 lbs over 1 year

this is very easy, healthy and good. chilled unflavored gelatin (fernan) + ripe mango + a little coconute milk or cream or yogurt. very refreshing on a hot day, low calorie, protein from the gelatin

I buy coffee from baguio - P300 per kg, then cook it in a wok. Once you try fresh roasted coffee it's hard to go back

Try nyo to - bagoong fried chicken

marinate 1 chicken overnight, chopped into 10-12 pieces with 1-2 tsp hong kong/thai or vietnamese bagoong (its very fine ground shrimp bagoong. cheap lang, but not so easy to find, you can not use alamang), 1 tsp five spice powder, 1 beaten egg, salt, pepper, 1 tsp sugar. Coat w flour, shake off excess, and deep fry.

i consider myself a wine snob. but was surprised to find that some supermarket-grade wines are ok. JUST OK. not fabulous or anything. drinkable at best.

 

when beggars can't be choosers, grocery fare can satisfy.

That's really true. I used to buy regularly wine at 2-5k/bottle, but sometimes not worth it to try to keep up with your friends. I decided I like whites and lighter reds, vs very powerful sosyal bordeaux's. I find better cheap wine at Santi's, than at grocery stores. Maybe because the storage is better.

Room temperature is ok in my experience. I opened some bottles left in the kitchen rack a few weeks ago, some were 1997-98. This is the warmest place in my house. A few were bad. Some bottles were really good even though they are just ordinary red wine (vin de table, vin de pays). Very smooth with long finish and better than some very expensive wine I have tried. I just leave the cheap wine, mostly gifts, in the kitchen. Good wine I keep in a cool place where they keep for years. I read that room temperature (vs. refrigerated) accelerates aging, so I think it works if you only want to keep for 2-3 years.
