What happened between my two last posts...

Recession hits Dubai, suddenly I am not too busy with work.

(well still busy, but not my usual super-workaholic self)

I developed a habit of drinking a can of soda after lunch (I have not been drinking soft drinks since college years, except for a very few occasions). And for some consecutive weeks I enjoyed having regular Thursday night Beer sessions. Result: My first beer belly experience.

I started using facebook applications and got hooked. Farm town!

Thrown away a significant volume of trash. But I still have a lot of stuff in my room.

Became best man to a close friend in college. Stag party was a success. And the wedding was beautiful.

Ang Mga Paborito Kong Ulam

Tinanong ako ni MF kung ano ang mga paborito kong ulam, eto ang sagot

1. Sinampalukang Manok na may totoong usbong ng sampalok at walang artificial flavoring (extra points kapag bagong katay ang manok, yung dugo ay isasama sa bigas at ilalagay sa sinigang)

2. Lumpiang Sariwa na kompleto ang rekado, as Bulakenos prepare it, may kamote, baguio beans, fried pork bits, shrimps, etc. (bonus points kung galing sa pinas ung pambalot, ung manipis na manipis)

3. Three-day old Paksiw na Lechon na may tamang balanse ng tamis at asim (bonus kapag sobrang lambot na ng meat, na-may naghihiwalay nang fibers)

4. Steamed Crab na dapat ay sariwa at matataba o may alige (bonus kapag may kamatis at bagoong) -eto yata ang pinakasimple

5. Tinolang Kabiya/Tulya (Clams), sariwa din dapat (nalalasahan ko na kapag hindi fresh ang seafood), yung maraming luya (bonus kapag malunggay o saluyot ang kasamang gulay)
