Creamy cocktail

IMG_0669
Desserts are always everybody’s favorite including at home.  I checked out the pantry and saw some creams that were left unused during the holiday season. I bought a fruit cocktail and made this creamy dessert. I just simply drain the mixed fruits ( papaya, pineapples, cherries, peaches, nate de coco) and added kaong, cream and  condensed milk. Adjust the condensed milk because the fruit cocktail is already sweetened.  Chill for five hours or overnight. Sweet, creamy and yummy fruit desserts to have after a hearty lunch or dinner.

delivery of chocolate and berries

I can already smell the scents of love at this early time. Well valentines day is coming up a few weeks from now. Many people especially lovers are looking forward for this special event. For me this is a special day too because it is the birthday of my loving father. I am already planning some  surprises  for him. The delivery of chocolate and berries would be one because this is my personal way of expressing my warm thoughts and wishes for the prime time of his life. This would be a simple yet sweet gesture for my fathers’ valentine birthday.

Chilly week

The entire weekdays had been chilly as the slow winds during late afternoon and until the evening can be felt when I commute from the downtown district going home.  Some rainfalls happened during dawn and early afternoon. A very unusual weather at this time for the month of January. This month is supposed to be  the start of sunny weather. Anyway, part of climate change.  Now I am wearing a jacket jeans to protect me from the wind blows when I walk the streets up to the  jeep stop point later.

Best Buy

I was pondering on my memories for the past holiday season. I just do not know but the events just came into my mind the other day while I was having a break from work. I am so lucky to own some high tech gadgets like my new digital camera and cellular phone. The advance features of these personal things are really very helpful especially on my blogging activities. I consider these gadgets as  Best Buy products that are worthy as personal assets and at the same time as investments. When my finances permit, I will be considering a brand new laptop hopefully soon.

Stiff neck

It is hard to move having a stiff neck these past days. For me this is always stress related because of the demands of my work. I was busy this week because I coached a new staff for the section. I had to orient her about the important documents for updating in the system. It sounds weird but I was training an employee who has been long time working with the office. Anyway she needed to learn because she was tasked to help in the section. Aside from this, I was also busy on my class. The fourth exam will be scheduled next week and chapters to review and read are already piling up. I read that the muscle most often involved with a stiff neck is the levator scapula which connects the neck and shoulder. The most usual complaint of a “stiff neck” is pain when trying to turn the head to the side where it hurts, often turning the body instead of the neck to look behind. It is often associated with a headache but not always.The most common causes for developing this kind of stiff neck are; turning the head to one side while typing, long phone calls without a headset, sleeping without proper pillow support with the neck tilted or rotated, sitting in a chair with armrests too high and exposure of the neck to a cold draft.The muscle most often involved with a stiff neck is the levator scapula which connects the neck and shoulder.The most usual complaint of a “stiff neck” is pain when trying to turn the head to the side where it hurts, often turning the body instead of the neck to look behind.

The Tourist – Movie

the-tourist-movie-review

I enjoyed watching the movie “The Tourist” in cinema last Saturday evening. I was joined by my siblings and we watched it before the last screening so that we can still have time to commute in going home and not being too late at night.  The movie stars the beautiful Angelina Jolie and good actor Johnny Depp. A woman named Elise (Jolie) is being trailed in Paris by French police working with Scotland Yard. At a cafe, she receives a letter from Alexander Pearce, a former lover, with explicit directions to board a train to Venice, Italy, pick out a man who resembles him and make the police believe that this man is Alexander Pearce. All in all it was a  good movie for this new year.

Relatives’ fiesta

Weekend is always a time for relaxation and home fixings for me but yesterday it was a gathering together with my relatives, friends, cousins, nephews and nieces. My older cousin invited me on their place fiesta and I enjoyed the meeting with all of them as it is seldom for us to gather for the past years.Delicious foods were served before us like suckling roasted pig, grilled fish, macaroni salad, chicken broth, stir fried shrimps desserts and many more. We went home late at night already and my cousin was so generous enough to sent us some bring home foods.

Busy Wednesday

I am feeling tired and hungry today after a strenuous tasks in the office. Some of the workloads are piling up and there are lack of responsible personnel in the section. Aside from this the system access is very limited for the users. The clients to be served are lining up with priority numbers that really need to be serve immediately as possible.  I try to accommodate  to my capacity but I have to make a cut-off before due time because I can already feel the strain on my eyes. Good thing these assignments compensate my day.

acne products here

My sister got an acne  problem on her face. I was thinking that it was a stress related from the start of the holiday season up to the new year.  She had been so busy on her review making researches.  I told her to keep herself from the harmful effects of stress by taking a good sleep, lots of fluid intakes, positive attitude and also personal hygiene. She can check out some acne products here that would be beneficial for her skin acne problems. I hope it will get healed the soonest possible time.

Thoughts of gift giving

There have been generous spirits last Christmas holidays and I was very thankful for all of them. Though little tokens but given with of sincere hearts.I got this gift courtesy of the Marco Polo Hotel Davao. A key and card holders with personalized logos. These items can have variety of uses for me.A key chain can be used as a short chain to link together a number of keys or other items. It feels nice to be recognized and be given with this token for Christmas. As the saying goes, it is better to give than to receive. Well that is right and also it is nice to receive gifts as well.(smile).
