i'm craving apple pie

Midterms for English II was just my cup of tea. As a kid making "fake" ads was one of my favorite things to do. I still remember the countless chocolate bars I drew with slogans such as "Going Loco for Coco". 

We were told to create an ad (billboards or commercials) of any product we wanted. It didn't matter when said product would come out. 15-20 years from now, anything was possible.

The Candy Crate-or is a tablet that absorbs the flavor of whatever food you pick. It 's as big as an Altoid, has only 20 calories each and is well within one's budget. About a 2 dollas fifty for a pack of 20 pieces. 

It comes inside a special crate that helps seal flavor  so that your candy won't loose its freshly baked apple pie flavor. 

best buys & good tunes

I consider most of my best buys to be magazines for cheap. Especially magazines you can cut up and make into something else (after reading each one thoroughly of course). 

Two copies of Surfer for only P10 each! Think of all the envelopes I can make.  

I'm currently making a playlist of my favorite songs for the month of March. I'll put them up within the month. But so far, this is what I've got.

meal time: filipino food

The other day my dad and I took a drive to Bulacan. Now, I've always been iffy about trying Filipino food, I'm more of an American and Italian food kind of girl, but deep fried pork is something you just can't say no to.

This small food shop on some corner in Bulacan has the best Lechon Kawali. It's like bitting into butter. Three pieces later and I think my arteries swimming in it. 

Best P70 meal I've stumbled upon in a while.

The grilled Lemon Chicken is quite easy!

You'll need:
2 Lemons
Salt
Pepper
1 Garlic clove
1 Kilo Chicken Breast
2 Red Bell Peppers
2 Green Bell Peppers

Marinate the chicken (cubed) in Lemon juice, Salt and Pepper to taste and peeled and crushed garlic.

Leave this together for as long as you want. If you want a really good flavor leave it to marinate overnight. And then put about 3-4 pieces on a barbecue stick, alternating with your cubed Bell Peppers. I like using both green and red for some color. Coat your stove top grill with olive oil and cook until it begins to brown.

Voila! A happy healthy meal.

sunday style: boots

This post is more than a few weeks late, but I just really want you all to see my new boots!

This is me taking advantage of the less-than-one-month cold weather.

 

"can I just say something crazy?"

Thursday afternoon and I'm still waiting for someone to help me finish my sandwiches.

bacon roses

I'd like to say this Valentine's Day was filled with flowers and candy. But it wasn't. At least not for me. And any candies I may have consumed I bought myself. But the day of love wasn't as dreary and lonely as I make it out to be. 

My 14 year old cousin got asked to prom! And I got to play dress up with her. 

This was my second time applying false eyelashes, but I think I did a pretty good job. 

Look at her shoes. They are perfection. This girl would have Nick Miller thinking it was his Jess.

Also, in return for doing her makeup I got bacon. My Valentine's day was sweet and maple cured.
