1. BLUEBERRIES Blueberries and other berries are packed with powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. Eat one or more 1/2-cup servings daily; because berries are typically treated with a lot of pesticides, choose organic if possible.
2. KALE Like other greens, kale is rich in the antioxidant lutein and contains iron, which transports oxygen to your skin, and vitamin A, which helps prevent premature aging. Eat two or more 1/2-cup servings of kale or other greens a day.
3. RED PEPPERS Red or dark orange vegetables are loaded with the antioxidant vitamins A and E and bioflavonoids, which moisturize and heal your skin. Eat two or more 1/2-cup servings a day of red peppers, carrots, beets, or similarly colored veggies.
4. SALMON Salmon and other cold-water fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which hold off wrinkles by preventing inflammation and lubricating your skin. Eat a 3-ounce serving of these fish one to three times a week.
5. TOMATOES Tomatoes contain lycopene, a skin-friendly antioxidant that also reduces your cancer risk. Your body can better use lycopene if the tomatoes are cooked. Eat at least 1/2 cup of cooked tomatoes a day. –K.P.L.
I love taking photos of fuds, not only they’re appetizing but they really look beautiful Looking at them makes me want to be a chef… seriously I’m fan of top chef! Watch it it’s really nice! Their foods are very artistic
Last month I dreamt about some hiskul reunion… Some people or names I can recall from that dream were glenise, dinana, allyn and I guess ana may…
Then few weeks ago, one of those usual nights somebody messaged me. The id is familiar coz it’s on my list. She asked me if I’ll be able to attend our reunion back home. I was surprised coz that id was on the wrong group list. It’s on my convergy’s groups(former officemates), I realized then that that person was my hiskul classmate. I asked for identification and found out that she’s ana may Oh sorry girl for placing you on the wrong groups
Anyway, we started talking and finally decided to have a reunion here in manila for those who cannot come home. So that’s how it started. Dec 15, 6pm. Greenbelt makati. So it was set!
Dec 15 came, and I’m really excited to see them. I haven’t seen most of my classmates since graduation. Then I remembered my dream last month. I’m not sure if that dream pertains to this reunion or the coming reunion at my hometown this coming weeks. But those names from my dream rang a bell on this dec15 get together coz they said those people will be coming too…
Around 5:45 pm I received a text message from ana may that she’s ready to go and just waiting for the time. I replied that i’m still getting dress. Anyways, the venue was just near at my place. 2nd sms said she’s on her way. That night it’s so hard getting taxi and the traffic was so heavy maybe becoz of the season and everybody was out there on the streets busy buying gifts and attending parties
She’s patiently waiting at the hall in front of mark&spencer.I almost didn’t recognize her, after a decade of not seeing her She looked much slimmer now. While waiting for them we decided to look for bag in landmark, it’s cheaper there :P. Remember my previous post about this bag? I already scouted for bag that night but still the following day it took me 5 hours to decide and in the end changed my mind of not buying it. Crazy!
We met jack at rea and went ahead to cascada for most of us were already hungry
Cascada, greenbelt is a nice place to have dinner for 2 or groups. Friendly, approachable and courteous waiters. The resto is clean, comfy chairs, and cool environment. And of course the delicious food they serve. Looking at the food reminds me of “top chef”. One of my fave reality shows I love food and cooking obviously
Checking the menu:
Some of our foods: Check my picasa account for bigger size
I forgot what it’s called. If i’m not mistaken maki? Well I don’t eat this coz it contains crabs
garlic cheese pizza.
mushroom soup
fish & fries
drinks
of course the attendees
poor me I’m always behind the scene But I love taking pics and let them model for me. hahaha After having dinner we decided to go to music21.
Ayala xmas lights. We just walked from greenbelt to jupiter. Most of them were complaining already, hahaha. But i’m sure they would hardly feel tired ‘coz they have lots of stories to tell with each other after a decade of not seeing some of them.
See! See the evidence. They love walking plus it’s an exercise. Sorry Mitz you’ve always been blocked. hehehe. Did you notice something on this pic? girls on the front row and girls and the back? What’s the difference? hahah. But it’s not too obvious here coz we can’t see their full body at the back.
Music21, jupiter makati. It’s more affordable than redbox. Filipinos love to sing very much and videoke is one way of expressing it. They have different packages that’s consumable with different sets to choose from. They have big list of songs divided into categories of artists, singers, languages, etc.
rock it jack rock it!
This is what they call crispy pata. One of the included fuds for package B set3 I guess. They said it’s delicious but never tasted it coz I don’t eat pork
last glimpse of the attendees Ana may, jack, joyce, carissa, mitz, rea and me(behind the camera )
The video to follow. I’m still uploading it
At last it’s done… phew! I’m having net prob awhile ago.
I love cooking. I’ts passion for me like photography. Also when I got bored or tired I either cook or take photos of anything I can see.
I’ve been experimenting on food like adobo coz i love eating adobo very much. It’s not actually my fave food but I love trying different recipes for adobo and ofcourse I need to taste it so now it’s one of my fave fud
The first recipe I got it from my papa. He loves to cook too. When I’m still a kid I watched him how he prepares the food and asked why he’s doing that certain thing and I comtemplated on it hehehe. And sometimes I also try it myself. One time I’m watching teysie ng tahanan it’s a noon time show that time and there’s a portion of that show for cooking. I could still remember that recipe. It’s about talong(egg plant). Not torta. You need to slice it into halves, scrape the meat and leave the covering? or the portion where u scraped the meat from coz you’ll be needing it later. That’s where you’re going to put the finish product and will serve as your plate So you need to cook the eggplant meat. seasoned it etc. I forgot the other details. After it’s cooked place it back on the boat shaped skin of it that you set a side. And that’s it. You’re done.
Hahahah. I served it on that day, lucnch time after watching that show. They didn’t like it poor little me.
Anyways, Im supposed to talk about the adobo.
OK. So the original recipe for adobo that I got from my father is this: Btw, It’s best to marinate the chicken with the engredients always.
ORIGINAL RECIPE:
engredients:
chicken(chopped in cubes or adobo cut)
garlic(diced)
onion(chopped)
vinegar or calamansi /lemon juice(calamansi is better than vinegar)
soy sauce
pepper(ground)
laurel leaves(optional)
potato(optional, chopped)
procedure:
1. Mix all those engredients and use it to marinate the chicken.
2. There are 2 ways of cooking it either u boil or sautee it. It’s up to you. If you’re kinda lazy you can juz boil it
3. So that’s it. So simple right.
WITH SPRITE:
Ok for the next engredient I learned it when I was at work. My officemate suggested that sprite is good for marinating meat. So added sprite for it.
WITH PINEAPPLE JUICE:
One time instead of using potato I wanted to try pineapple chunks. So I also used the pineapple juice instead of vinegar. Taste good
WITH GINGER:
I got this from the pasibe’s helper, marife(my bf’s cousin’s helper). One summer the kids were visiting manila along with their helper. They stayed at my bf’s place. I came to visit the kids that night and it’s dinner time:) so I had the chance to dine with them. The smell of adobo from the kitchen was so delicious much more when we were already eating it. I’m thinking there’s something different from this adobo. And luckily the ginger landed on my mouth. Got yah! hehehe. I confirmed from marife that she uses ginger for adobo and I tell you it’s very delicious. In fact it’s one of the engredients for bulalo, nilaga, aroz caldo…
Ok. That’s the different versions of adobo Hope you’ll try it too
Looking at them makes me want to be a chef… seriously 
After having dinner we decided to go to music21.
But it’s not too obvious here coz we can’t see their full body at the back. 
poor little me.
