Still alive

Posted by WELLA at Thursday, May 07, 2009 1 comments
Opo buhay pa po ako pati ang blogsite na 'to... cguro naman di ako ma-uunsubscribe automatically pag hindi nagpopost. Sa totoo lang naman kase eh wala naman masyadong special na pangyayari. Im still enjoying to be a new homeowner except for the monthly bills na kung pwede ipadisconnect lahat eh cguro 100% ung fulfillment ko. Pero sympre mas nangingibabaw ung katuwaan. Aba naman, pwede na kong sumigaw sigaw sa tuwa, sa bwiset, sa galit na walang iniisip na may makakarinig sken. Khet anong gustong gawin ko sa bahay ko eh walang pipigil sken. Kaya nga panay sa home improvement section ako. Bihira na ko sa mga clothing or shoes department, online na kase ako nabili.. hehehe

Since meron na kmeng bahay, babymaking naman ang priority namen. Na-realize ko na mahirap pala gumawa ng bata. I thought madali, kase ung mga friends ko mahagisan lang ng brief ng mga jowa nila, bumubukol na ang tyan. Eh ako khet pants with matching belt, wala pa rin. Im trying to stay relax as much as possible. Kase nga ang stress eh malaking factor para maloloka ang hormones. So kailangan ng stress release aside from shopping, dahil lalo lang ako masstress sa credit card bills. Exercise!!! Actually meron kmeng mini gym kuno sa basement, ayon naka tiwangwang lang ung 2lbs dumbells ko.. hahaha! Ay naku starting tomorrow, itaga nyo sa bato, gigising ako ng maaga, kase maga na talaga ang buong katawan ko.. manas na nga tawag sken ng asawa ko eh...

Hopefully sa next post ko eh ung picture na ng bahay namen... ayoko ipost ng kulang kulang eh... babush!

About shoes

Posted by WELLA at Thursday, October 09, 2008 0 comments

Here's my shoe collections

Im not trying to be Imeldific ok... I just love shoes. I think I influenced Nikky to be like me. He collects rubber shoes. I didn't take a picture of it kase sympre its all about me noh. But of course, I just don't buy it because I like it. Aside from the style, I also considered the durability, the comfortability and the price. Well, living in a 4 season state, sympre dapat meron akong shoes for all season. I guess I started collecting shoes when I started going to school. In a whole school year, I had 2 black shoes. Kase super ewan ko ba, lagi na lang nagssmile yung shoes ko... uuwi ako ng bahay namen nakakanganga na ung sapatos ko. Khet anong rugby ilagay... wa epek. Sabi nga ng mommy ko, may paang bakal daw ako. Binibilan ako non ng bandolino and gregg shoes, ako lang may ayaw kase di ko type ung style.. hehhee. But the truth is, para lagi akong may bagong shoes... Sympre sa rubber shoes naman, eh yung Mighty Kid. Low cut, high cut meron ako nyan.. hahaha. I just forgot the store name kung san namen binibili yun eh, alam ko meron non sa alabang and baclaran... starts with the letter "Z" yun eh. Anyway, nung teenage years ko na.. shift na ko sa sneakers, specifically Tretorn. 1st Tretorn ko non galing sa tita ko from the states. No fancy about the shoes, actually plain white nga lang eh. Pero knowing from the states, mahal yun... hehehe. Tapos nung highschool ako, sus half of the class naka-tretorn during PE class. Funny kase paitiman, padumihan kme ng tretorn. Promise walang laba-laba. Yung iba ata the whole school year na sa locker eh, walang uwi-uwi... hahahaha! Ay nag-Keds rin pala ako and esprit, pero iba pa rin ung tretorn. Ay naalala ko pa pala... before our graduation, lahat ng sapatos namen ginawang graffiti. Sermon ang inabot ko nito. Hmmm I just realized, andito na ko sa states ni isang tretorn wala pa kong nabibili... search ako mamaya

By the way, I saw this kind of footwears... Im not sure if I can wear one.

These are strapless slippers or should I say stick-on slippers. Just make sure you always have your pedicure.

And, this is the heeless shoes. I prefer flat shoes instead of this.

I don't think I can wear this, but its cool

About Food

Posted by WELLA at Thursday, March 06, 2008 1 comments

Before I got married, I always asked myself if I can cook. I love to watch cooking shows, from Cooking with the Dazas, Sarap TV, Delmonte Kitchenomics, yung show ni Henny Sison, yung sa channel 5 kalimutan ko na kung ano yun, pati yung Wok with Yan, tlgang pinapatos ko. Inaabangan ko lagi ung how he decorates the plate with fresh veggies and fruits. Dagdagan pa ng food network. Khet mahilig akong manood, di pa rin ako nagluluto smen. My parents do the cooking, especially my dad na super dooper kung mag-experiment. Sa awa naman ng Diyos eh kaya naman ng sikmura namen ung niluluto nya. Hey, dont get me wrong, hindi dahil sa hindi masarap ung food, yung mga ingredients na nilalagay nya na parang hindi magkakamatch. Wow isa na kong food critic....hehehe. I cooked lang siguro pag may party kme, kapal naman ng mukha ko kung di ako tutulong noh.

Now that Im a wife, its my obligation to cook for us. Lahat sken first time except for pasta. Before I came here, nagpaturo pa ko sa mommy ko how to cook adobo. In fairness, naperfect ko naman and nasarapan sila (my hubby and his parents). Sabi nga nila "eto ang adobo". Hanep!!!! At sympre di naman palage puro adobo ano! I did, sinigang na baboy, pork binagoongan, beef steak, pork paksiw, nilagang baboy, tinolang manok, chicken ala king, menudo, beef sirlion with mushroom and oyster sauce, pinakbet, ginataang alimasag with sitaw and kalabasa, egg roll and recently mechado, na di ko alam kung tlgang mechado kase parang menudo na rin. Lahat first time to do it. Basta get the ingredients bahala na. All i know is kung ano ung matagal lutuin yun ang una. Dati i dont use ginger but now kung bagay sa menu, nilalagyan ko kase para mawala yung malansang amoy especially sa binagoongan. I learned also na better kung onion muna before garlic in sauteing, para di madaling maburn ung garlic. Wow grabe naabsorb ko ung mga pinanood kong cooking shows. Imagine, may cooking skills pala ako. Dami kong gustong subukan.

Actually I love making desserts khet di ako mahilig sa sweets. I remember nung 2nd year high ako, in my home economics subject, hirap kaya ako magmix ng dry and wet mixture. Sabi ni Miss (this is how we call our lady teacher in St. Paul), cut and fold lang ang technique. Di ko na ma-cut and fold kase super sakit na ng braso ko ano! Kaya puro refrigerated cake lang ang ginagawa ko. I tried chocolate crinckles and i love it! Not too sweet, its chewy, its perfect! nyahaha! I wanna develop my baking skills naman. Meron mga kits na nabibili in cake decorating for beginners. Di ko nga lang alam kung may art skills ako.. hahaha. cguro hanggang icing lang ako hehehe.

Hmmm... ano kaya masarap ulamin for the week? Pininyahang manok (i told Nikky if he eats this, oo daw, nagluluto daw ung mama nya nito, yung may pinya, may sabaw... sabi ko ay oo nga noh, dapat may pinya, obvious ba na un ung name from the rootword pininya... so sympre kung dinuriang manok, dapat may durian.. ano ba!!! ang panget ng name parang dinurang manok.. nyahaha! ), Chopsuey (special request ni habibi), Dinuguan (ay amazing 'to sa mga co-workers ko... hehehe). Speaking of amazingness, they love my eggroll a.k.a lumpiang shanghai. Super asked sila kung pano gumawa non, san nakakabili ng wrapper, pati temperature ng cooking oil, hello basta tumilamsik na, yun pwede na. Then last time, I brought brazo de mercedes. Yung asian store kase dito may goldilocks products sila kaya bumili ako ng cake kase its my boss birthday, di ako sipsip, proud lang ako ipatikim sa knila. Anyway, back to the cake. One of my co-worker bought a chocolate marble cake. I knew na cake ung bibilhin nila kase sinabi naman nya sken. But since nagdala rin ako, di na ko nagcontribute don sa binili ng cake. So ayan, nilabas ko na from the box (half roll lang ito noh, at isang piraso lang kase mahal nasa $11 each). Pagpasok nila sa pantry, yun kagd ang nakita nila, What is this daw. So slice slice si boss ng mga cakes nya, naloka kase pano daw nya slice yung cake na dinala ko, ok boss nagpapatawa ka. When they tasted the cake, wow silang lahat. Very interesting daw.. hanep! Lemon Meringue daw. Yung isa tinanong pa ko kung ano tawag don, when I said Brazo de Mercedes, say it slowly. Ok khet sabihin ko naman ng slowly as if naman they will remember it. May I translate pa ko, in english "Arm of Mercedes"... ok fine.

Ibang klase ha, ang haba ng post ko.. nakaisip kase ako ng topic eh... kase nanood naman ako sa food network eh... its the ace of cake. O sya, hanggang sa muli...

Happy eating!

What's with my name

Posted by WELLA at Thursday, January 17, 2008 2 comments

My lola (dad's mom) was the one who gave me the name Lowela. Kung mommy ko ang masusunod, she will named me Leilani. I really don't like my name. I remember when I was in my grade school days, naiinggit ako sa mga classmates ko, who have a popular names such as Christine, Catherine, Donna, Michelle etc. kase they can buy sticker names. Rowena meron pero Lowela wala...Then there are some books with hundred of names and the meaning of it, pero ang Lowela wala.... ang babaw ko. Pero sympre its my name so love ko na rin. Now lets see what's the meaning of name Lowela.

What Lowela Means

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.
You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.
At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.

You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts.
You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it.
You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator!

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.


I must say na this is all true. In short Im cool. hehehe...

No Title

Posted by WELLA at Tuesday, December 18, 2007 3 comments
Its been a week with no updates here at halo-halong post 'to kaya no title for this.

So ano ang mga pangyayari this past few days:

Holiday: Til now di namen alam kung san kme magsspend ng christmas eve. Kung sa place ba ng aunt ng Nikky or dito na lang sa place namen. Nakakapanibago kase this is my first time to spend my birthday and christmas abroad. It looks like christmas here is just a simple day. Now I know why some people say na iba pa rin ang pasko sa Pinas. Happy pa rin naman ako kase Im with my dear hubby. Can't wait to open my gift from him... ano kaya yun? He was telling me na this is his first time na meron gifts under the tree.

Di kase ako sanay na walang gifts yung christmas tree. Yung mommy ko kahet walang laman yung box, she will wrapped it with christmas wrapper and put it under the tree and use it every christmas. Recycled gifts.. hehehe. Pati christmas wrapper ko color coordinated sa christmas ornaments ko.... hehehe. Yan isang roll lang ng wrapper na yan.

Crib : Ay naku kung di lang malaking downpayment for a new place, we really wanna move out. The place was not the problem but the tenants. We're in ground floor so yung steps nung nasa taas namen totally irritating. Teenager yung occupant, so what do I expect. Another thing, I do my laundry every saturday, but sometimes I do it on sunday pag umaalis kme ng saturday. Pag sunday, nakakasabay ko yung mag-asawa, cguro mga around 40-50's age nila. So anyway, I noticed them na they take out some clothes from the washer na di naman sa knila and put it on table. Those clothes were already done, but the thing is di sa knila yun, sympre for sure babalikan naman ng may-ari yung mga damit nya to put in a dryer. At first I dont mind kase di ko naman damit yun. Eto na.... nakasabay ko na naman sila. Im transferring our clothes from the washer to dryer. So ok they can use the washer I used. The laundry has 4 washers and 4 dryers. 2 dryers cost 75cents and 2 $1.00. I used the 2 dryers, both 75cents. After an hour I came back to get all our stuffs. As I entered the room, I saw our clothes already out of the dryer. Those white clothes was in a basket and the rest was on top of the table na meron din mga ibang damit na hindi smen. At nandon yung mag-asawa, putting there clothes don sa dryer na pinaggamitan ko. What the hell!!!! To think there are still 2 empty dryers na tig $1.00. Ano yun nagtitipid sila. Sa inis ko, pinaglalagay ko sa lalagyanan ko ung mga damit namen without folding it. Sabi ko sa asawa ko, bahala na kung di mo damit yang nadampot ko. Imagine, ihahalo nila yung mga damit namen sa ibang damit.. malay ko ba kung malinis yun or what. Walang pakielam tlga... matapos lang sila. Eh ako naman lagi kong binabalikan yung mga damit namen. Nagcomplain na yung asawa ko, kaya lang they can't do anything about it since di namen kilala or kung san unit. But I know for sure na same level lang kame kase sometimes nakakasalubong ko sila sa hall. Arrrggghhh... kakaasar yung mga taong walang consideration.

Work: Nadagdagan na naman yung trabaho namen during the nightly. Its really pain in the a$$! Why? isa-isahin ba naman yung mga scanned checks if they meet the requirements in signatures and endorsement. Worst, kase 5,000 checks yun and that's everyday task... so twice a week for me since 2 days ako naka-sched for the nightly. Ang sakit sa ulo grabe, and since its scanned image, so some checks are blurry. Kailangan ng superpower with x-ray vision. Badtrip talaga, so instead of 10:30pm ako matatapos, umaabot ako ng 12mn. Ang saya!

I changed my layout, updated my ipod na gusto ko rin lagyan ng skin... hehehe. Still looking for a cute design.

The Face Behind this Blog

Posted by WELLA at Thursday, September 20, 2007 2 comments

Tagged by Irel

The face behind this blog... hanep sa picture, all smile! hehehe. Ok let's talk all about me.

My nickname is Wella, but my ate's calls me Weng, my friends naman sometimes calls me Wells, Wewe, Wellapot and my only tita calls me Lowel. To be honest, I don't like my name pero I don't hate it either. Wala lang feeling ko lang. If I'm given the chance to change my name, I want Trixie, bitch na bitch ang dating... hehehe. Sabi ng mom ko, di naman daw Lowela dapat ang name ko, it should be Leilani or Liezel. E si lola ko (mom of my dad), naging kontrabida sa mga panahon na yun at may I suggested na "Lowela". And sabi pa ng mom ko, di daw dapat ganon yung spelling non, dapat "Louella". Ang may sala.... ang nurse! Unconscious pa siguro ang mom ko non at di nasabi yung correct spelling for my name kaya si nurse nagmarunong at yun ang ginawa sa birth certificate ko.. well pronounced di ba. Ni let go na lang ng mom ko para di na magulo.

Among the 5 kids, ako lang daw ang naka-experience ng may yaya. My mom was so busy that time sa aming family business (small restaurant). Pero nung 2 years old na ko, di na ko nagyaya coz we transferred to another place and gave up the resto. Lumaki ako sa palo ng tsinelas kase ubod ako ng tigas ng ulo... pasaway na bata in short. Pero di ko naman masasabi na bratinella ako. In a way, proud ako sa sarili ko kase never ako gumawa ng something na ikakasakit ng ulo ng parents ko. Actually takot ako sa kuya ko kesa sa dad ko. Kase ang dad ko less talk sya... kya feeling ko ok lang... pero pag nagsalita na sya, tagus tagusan, makakarinig ka na ng mga words na sasabihin mo sa sarili mo na sana bingi ka na lang... hehehe...

Speaking of takot, I must say na masyado akong matatakutin. Bihira ako manood ng mga suspense movies, yun e yung mga sapilitang manood para wag masabihan na KJ (kulang sa joy). Takot ako sa multo, and sa daga.. basta any forms ng rats (rabbit, hamster, guinea pig, white mouse).

I love sour and salty foods. I don't have a sweet tooth, mana ako sa mommy ko. Di rin ako nakain ng mga spicy foods kaya di ako pwede sa Thailand. I don't eat chocolates with nuts and peanut butter. Siguro yung with nuts, toblerone lang. When it comes to cake, red ribbon products lang. Kase not too sweet yung cakes nila... and from casa bravo ba yun... basta yun na yun. I'm not an experimental person na lahat ittry na kainin, basta kung sa paningin ko eh di na masarap, I won't dare to eat it.

In music naman, I had no particular genre. Anything goes, old or new music, ok lang. Siguro depende na rin sa trip ko, but usually I listened to RnB, Trance or House party music. Just to lighten up my mood. I remembered my friend asked me what will be my funeral song, I said I want "Passenger Seat by Stephen Speaks". Why? I don't know, I just like the song.

I want everything in organize, but Im not OC, siguro metikolosa lang. Sobrang arte ko lang siguro na kala ng mommy ko e super gulo ng room ko kase nga madami akong abubot. These abubots are my collections. When I was in my grade school years, I collect stationeries with or without scents na super exchange pa with my friends na ginawa ko na rin business. Lagi ako nagpapabili sa mommy ko non, ung may kasama pang envelope. Tapos ibebenta ko ng piso pag may envelope, 50cents pag wala. Tapos lagi akong nagtitira ng isang piraso for me. Nung highschool naman ako, archie comics naman, until now naiwan ko nga lang sa Pinas. Then I started collecting watches, sympre may sponsor ako ng watch ko.. my kuya..hehehe. I had benetton, swatch, pop swatch, esprit, bubble watch ng sesame street, boy london, pati smiley watches. Different colors and style. But now, 3 watches na lang ginagamit ko. Nung nagstart na ko magwork, sympre can afford na ko, shoes and bags naman. Taka nga ako e di ako mahilig sa clothes.

Im not an ambitious person, actually nung bata ako di ko nga alam kung ano ambition ko eh. I just want to be successful in whatever Im in and in the future.

So thats it!

Hair Makeover

Posted by WELLA at Saturday, September 08, 2007 1 comments
I've finally decided to have a hair cut, but not too short, a shoulder length will do. Bad trip tlga ang split ends, I thought wala na, pero with the cold temperature, nagddry talaga ang hair ko. And Im also sick and tired of those falling hair, e long hair pa naman ako kaya mahirap i-manage.

Thou, a simple layered cut lang naman ang gusto ko, I tried to search for a virtual makeover. You can upload your own photo and tried their different but limited hair styles. Here are some of my experimental look.



Aliw!!!

A week

Posted by WELLA at Monday, April 23, 2007 0 comments
Im exactly one week here in USA.. and i had so many observations and discoveries.

1. In driving, they're very careful with the traffic rules. As in super discipline... bawal ang kaskasero at gahaman sa kalsada! hehehe! And also in a pedestrian they have all the rights.

2. The sun comes down around 8pm. Imagine, your having your dinner ang liwanag pa.

3. There's a self counter in a supermarket. You just scan your stuffs, swipe your card and your done.

4. You can leave your car with an open window. In short, walang carnapping!

5. In a lingerie section, the 1st thing you can see is the 38D sizes of bra.

6. Large orders of food. Ay naku, nasasayang lang sken ung ibang food... busog kagad eh.. hehehe...

I guess this is for now... hehehe...

Ayan may license na ko... car na lang kulang! nyahaha!

Overdrive

Posted by WELLA at Sunday, February 18, 2007 0 comments
Overdrive sang by the Eraserheads is my theme song for this month. Im done yesterday with my driving lesson. Ang layo na ng narating ko.. Cavite! Medyo na-overwhelmed ako kse ang dami talagang mga tips and lessons na tinuro sken. A 5 hour lesson was a short one for a beginner like me, thou practice na lang tlaga ang kailangan ko, para atleast khet papano maging familiarize ako sa lahat. Before I thought driving was fun. It is pero you have lots of things to consider. Your much concerned with the people's cars. Im trying to be a defensive driver tlga. And khet papano I am naman. Madami pa akong dapat iimprove.

Kanina nga e, sumabit pa ko sa gate namen. Buti na lang side mirror lang and di naman total damage. Walang halong gasgas.... hay.. thank God.

Since magreresign na ko by next month, I have lots of time to practice. Ang major problem ko lang is ung magmaneobra. Damn shit, lagi akong namamatayan ng makina! Nakakahiya kse ang dami kong cars na naperwisyo. Well, i know they've been there so dapat they'll understand me. Kaya lang they dont since wala nmn akong sign board na student driver. Unlike nung nsa driving school ako.

So dapat ito tlga ang dapat kong ipractice. Dito lang muna sa compound namen, para di na ganon ka-hassle. nyahaha!

And one more thing, nangangapa pa ko sa car namen kse damn shit pang drag race kse ang set-up. So khet konting accelerate ang gawin ko... ang lakas ng brooooooommmmm nya. So lahat kya ng tao nakatingin smen, kse nga lupit ng dating ko! nyahahaa!

Practice makes perfect! "Magddrive ako hanggang baguio!!!!"

Posted by WELLA at Saturday, January 20, 2007 2 comments
Yes!!! I love myself today... why?

1st: I had my check-up with my OB, and consulting some concerns. For the very first time, pinapsmear ako... ouch!!!! damn ganon pla un... mejo masakit pero tolerable naman.. pero kahit na.. ouch pa rin. Before, i believed that papsmear is done for the oldies... ages 30+ and above. But according to my OB, its an old practice na raw... dapat nga daw at the age of 23 or kelan ung 1st contact. Some nga daw ayaw magpapapsmear. Ako naman kse its for my own good din naman... pra as early as now, i know if there's any other problem with my reproductive organ. Ay naku my doctor nga keeps on convincing and making kulit na magbuntis na raw ako.. gusto ko sana sabihin sa knya na "doc, ung asawa ko po ang kumbisihin nyo". Next week, magpapa-transvaginal ultrasound ulit ako.. ouch again! To check kung ano tlga problema ko.. aside sa utak! hahaha!

2nd: I bought some beauty regimen, which i discovered na effective sa iba.. so might as well to try it. And sympre nagpa-facial, foot spa and full body massage na rin ako... WHEWWWW heaven ang feeling!!! feeling reyna ako knina... nyahaha!

Next time ulit!!! hehehe!

Still alive

Opo buhay pa po ako pati ang blogsite na 'to... cguro naman di ako ma-uunsubscribe automatically pag hindi nagpopost. Sa totoo lang naman kase eh wala naman masyadong special na pangyayari. Im still enjoying to be a new homeowner except for the monthly bills na kung pwede ipadisconnect lahat eh cguro 100% ung fulfillment ko. Pero sympre mas nangingibabaw ung katuwaan. Aba naman, pwede na kong sumigaw sigaw sa tuwa, sa bwiset, sa galit na walang iniisip na may makakarinig sken. Khet anong gustong gawin ko sa bahay ko eh walang pipigil sken. Kaya nga panay sa home improvement section ako. Bihira na ko sa mga clothing or shoes department, online na kase ako nabili.. hehehe

Since meron na kmeng bahay, babymaking naman ang priority namen. Na-realize ko na mahirap pala gumawa ng bata. I thought madali, kase ung mga friends ko mahagisan lang ng brief ng mga jowa nila, bumubukol na ang tyan. Eh ako khet pants with matching belt, wala pa rin. Im trying to stay relax as much as possible. Kase nga ang stress eh malaking factor para maloloka ang hormones. So kailangan ng stress release aside from shopping, dahil lalo lang ako masstress sa credit card bills. Exercise!!! Actually meron kmeng mini gym kuno sa basement, ayon naka tiwangwang lang ung 2lbs dumbells ko.. hahaha! Ay naku starting tomorrow, itaga nyo sa bato, gigising ako ng maaga, kase maga na talaga ang buong katawan ko.. manas na nga tawag sken ng asawa ko eh...

Hopefully sa next post ko eh ung picture na ng bahay namen... ayoko ipost ng kulang kulang eh... babush!

About shoes

Here's my shoe collections

Im not trying to be Imeldific ok... I just love shoes. I think I influenced Nikky to be like me. He collects rubber shoes. I didn't take a picture of it kase sympre its all about me noh. But of course, I just don't buy it because I like it. Aside from the style, I also considered the durability, the comfortability and the price. Well, living in a 4 season state, sympre dapat meron akong shoes for all season. I guess I started collecting shoes when I started going to school. In a whole school year, I had 2 black shoes. Kase super ewan ko ba, lagi na lang nagssmile yung shoes ko... uuwi ako ng bahay namen nakakanganga na ung sapatos ko. Khet anong rugby ilagay... wa epek. Sabi nga ng mommy ko, may paang bakal daw ako. Binibilan ako non ng bandolino and gregg shoes, ako lang may ayaw kase di ko type ung style.. hehhee. But the truth is, para lagi akong may bagong shoes... Sympre sa rubber shoes naman, eh yung Mighty Kid. Low cut, high cut meron ako nyan.. hahaha. I just forgot the store name kung san namen binibili yun eh, alam ko meron non sa alabang and baclaran... starts with the letter "Z" yun eh. Anyway, nung teenage years ko na.. shift na ko sa sneakers, specifically Tretorn. 1st Tretorn ko non galing sa tita ko from the states. No fancy about the shoes, actually plain white nga lang eh. Pero knowing from the states, mahal yun... hehehe. Tapos nung highschool ako, sus half of the class naka-tretorn during PE class. Funny kase paitiman, padumihan kme ng tretorn. Promise walang laba-laba. Yung iba ata the whole school year na sa locker eh, walang uwi-uwi... hahahaha! Ay nag-Keds rin pala ako and esprit, pero iba pa rin ung tretorn. Ay naalala ko pa pala... before our graduation, lahat ng sapatos namen ginawang graffiti. Sermon ang inabot ko nito. Hmmm I just realized, andito na ko sa states ni isang tretorn wala pa kong nabibili... search ako mamaya

By the way, I saw this kind of footwears... Im not sure if I can wear one.

These are strapless slippers or should I say stick-on slippers. Just make sure you always have your pedicure.

And, this is the heeless shoes. I prefer flat shoes instead of this.

I don't think I can wear this, but its cool

About Food

Before I got married, I always asked myself if I can cook. I love to watch cooking shows, from Cooking with the Dazas, Sarap TV, Delmonte Kitchenomics, yung show ni Henny Sison, yung sa channel 5 kalimutan ko na kung ano yun, pati yung Wok with Yan, tlgang pinapatos ko. Inaabangan ko lagi ung how he decorates the plate with fresh veggies and fruits. Dagdagan pa ng food network. Khet mahilig akong manood, di pa rin ako nagluluto smen. My parents do the cooking, especially my dad na super dooper kung mag-experiment. Sa awa naman ng Diyos eh kaya naman ng sikmura namen ung niluluto nya. Hey, dont get me wrong, hindi dahil sa hindi masarap ung food, yung mga ingredients na nilalagay nya na parang hindi magkakamatch. Wow isa na kong food critic....hehehe. I cooked lang siguro pag may party kme, kapal naman ng mukha ko kung di ako tutulong noh.

Now that Im a wife, its my obligation to cook for us. Lahat sken first time except for pasta. Before I came here, nagpaturo pa ko sa mommy ko how to cook adobo. In fairness, naperfect ko naman and nasarapan sila (my hubby and his parents). Sabi nga nila "eto ang adobo". Hanep!!!! At sympre di naman palage puro adobo ano! I did, sinigang na baboy, pork binagoongan, beef steak, pork paksiw, nilagang baboy, tinolang manok, chicken ala king, menudo, beef sirlion with mushroom and oyster sauce, pinakbet, ginataang alimasag with sitaw and kalabasa, egg roll and recently mechado, na di ko alam kung tlgang mechado kase parang menudo na rin. Lahat first time to do it. Basta get the ingredients bahala na. All i know is kung ano ung matagal lutuin yun ang una. Dati i dont use ginger but now kung bagay sa menu, nilalagyan ko kase para mawala yung malansang amoy especially sa binagoongan. I learned also na better kung onion muna before garlic in sauteing, para di madaling maburn ung garlic. Wow grabe naabsorb ko ung mga pinanood kong cooking shows. Imagine, may cooking skills pala ako. Dami kong gustong subukan.

Actually I love making desserts khet di ako mahilig sa sweets. I remember nung 2nd year high ako, in my home economics subject, hirap kaya ako magmix ng dry and wet mixture. Sabi ni Miss (this is how we call our lady teacher in St. Paul), cut and fold lang ang technique. Di ko na ma-cut and fold kase super sakit na ng braso ko ano! Kaya puro refrigerated cake lang ang ginagawa ko. I tried chocolate crinckles and i love it! Not too sweet, its chewy, its perfect! nyahaha! I wanna develop my baking skills naman. Meron mga kits na nabibili in cake decorating for beginners. Di ko nga lang alam kung may art skills ako.. hahaha. cguro hanggang icing lang ako hehehe.

Hmmm... ano kaya masarap ulamin for the week? Pininyahang manok (i told Nikky if he eats this, oo daw, nagluluto daw ung mama nya nito, yung may pinya, may sabaw... sabi ko ay oo nga noh, dapat may pinya, obvious ba na un ung name from the rootword pininya... so sympre kung dinuriang manok, dapat may durian.. ano ba!!! ang panget ng name parang dinurang manok.. nyahaha! ), Chopsuey (special request ni habibi), Dinuguan (ay amazing 'to sa mga co-workers ko... hehehe). Speaking of amazingness, they love my eggroll a.k.a lumpiang shanghai. Super asked sila kung pano gumawa non, san nakakabili ng wrapper, pati temperature ng cooking oil, hello basta tumilamsik na, yun pwede na. Then last time, I brought brazo de mercedes. Yung asian store kase dito may goldilocks products sila kaya bumili ako ng cake kase its my boss birthday, di ako sipsip, proud lang ako ipatikim sa knila. Anyway, back to the cake. One of my co-worker bought a chocolate marble cake. I knew na cake ung bibilhin nila kase sinabi naman nya sken. But since nagdala rin ako, di na ko nagcontribute don sa binili ng cake. So ayan, nilabas ko na from the box (half roll lang ito noh, at isang piraso lang kase mahal nasa $11 each). Pagpasok nila sa pantry, yun kagd ang nakita nila, What is this daw. So slice slice si boss ng mga cakes nya, naloka kase pano daw nya slice yung cake na dinala ko, ok boss nagpapatawa ka. When they tasted the cake, wow silang lahat. Very interesting daw.. hanep! Lemon Meringue daw. Yung isa tinanong pa ko kung ano tawag don, when I said Brazo de Mercedes, say it slowly. Ok khet sabihin ko naman ng slowly as if naman they will remember it. May I translate pa ko, in english "Arm of Mercedes"... ok fine.

Ibang klase ha, ang haba ng post ko.. nakaisip kase ako ng topic eh... kase nanood naman ako sa food network eh... its the ace of cake. O sya, hanggang sa muli...

Happy eating!

What's with my name

My lola (dad's mom) was the one who gave me the name Lowela. Kung mommy ko ang masusunod, she will named me Leilani. I really don't like my name. I remember when I was in my grade school days, naiinggit ako sa mga classmates ko, who have a popular names such as Christine, Catherine, Donna, Michelle etc. kase they can buy sticker names. Rowena meron pero Lowela wala...Then there are some books with hundred of names and the meaning of it, pero ang Lowela wala.... ang babaw ko. Pero sympre its my name so love ko na rin. Now lets see what's the meaning of name Lowela.

What Lowela Means

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.
You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.
At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.

You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts.
You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it.
You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator!

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.


I must say na this is all true. In short Im cool. hehehe...

No Title

Its been a week with no updates here at halo-halong post 'to kaya no title for this.

So ano ang mga pangyayari this past few days:

Holiday: Til now di namen alam kung san kme magsspend ng christmas eve. Kung sa place ba ng aunt ng Nikky or dito na lang sa place namen. Nakakapanibago kase this is my first time to spend my birthday and christmas abroad. It looks like christmas here is just a simple day. Now I know why some people say na iba pa rin ang pasko sa Pinas. Happy pa rin naman ako kase Im with my dear hubby. Can't wait to open my gift from him... ano kaya yun? He was telling me na this is his first time na meron gifts under the tree.

Di kase ako sanay na walang gifts yung christmas tree. Yung mommy ko kahet walang laman yung box, she will wrapped it with christmas wrapper and put it under the tree and use it every christmas. Recycled gifts.. hehehe. Pati christmas wrapper ko color coordinated sa christmas ornaments ko.... hehehe. Yan isang roll lang ng wrapper na yan.

Crib : Ay naku kung di lang malaking downpayment for a new place, we really wanna move out. The place was not the problem but the tenants. We're in ground floor so yung steps nung nasa taas namen totally irritating. Teenager yung occupant, so what do I expect. Another thing, I do my laundry every saturday, but sometimes I do it on sunday pag umaalis kme ng saturday. Pag sunday, nakakasabay ko yung mag-asawa, cguro mga around 40-50's age nila. So anyway, I noticed them na they take out some clothes from the washer na di naman sa knila and put it on table. Those clothes were already done, but the thing is di sa knila yun, sympre for sure babalikan naman ng may-ari yung mga damit nya to put in a dryer. At first I dont mind kase di ko naman damit yun. Eto na.... nakasabay ko na naman sila. Im transferring our clothes from the washer to dryer. So ok they can use the washer I used. The laundry has 4 washers and 4 dryers. 2 dryers cost 75cents and 2 $1.00. I used the 2 dryers, both 75cents. After an hour I came back to get all our stuffs. As I entered the room, I saw our clothes already out of the dryer. Those white clothes was in a basket and the rest was on top of the table na meron din mga ibang damit na hindi smen. At nandon yung mag-asawa, putting there clothes don sa dryer na pinaggamitan ko. What the hell!!!! To think there are still 2 empty dryers na tig $1.00. Ano yun nagtitipid sila. Sa inis ko, pinaglalagay ko sa lalagyanan ko ung mga damit namen without folding it. Sabi ko sa asawa ko, bahala na kung di mo damit yang nadampot ko. Imagine, ihahalo nila yung mga damit namen sa ibang damit.. malay ko ba kung malinis yun or what. Walang pakielam tlga... matapos lang sila. Eh ako naman lagi kong binabalikan yung mga damit namen. Nagcomplain na yung asawa ko, kaya lang they can't do anything about it since di namen kilala or kung san unit. But I know for sure na same level lang kame kase sometimes nakakasalubong ko sila sa hall. Arrrggghhh... kakaasar yung mga taong walang consideration.

Work: Nadagdagan na naman yung trabaho namen during the nightly. Its really pain in the a$$! Why? isa-isahin ba naman yung mga scanned checks if they meet the requirements in signatures and endorsement. Worst, kase 5,000 checks yun and that's everyday task... so twice a week for me since 2 days ako naka-sched for the nightly. Ang sakit sa ulo grabe, and since its scanned image, so some checks are blurry. Kailangan ng superpower with x-ray vision. Badtrip talaga, so instead of 10:30pm ako matatapos, umaabot ako ng 12mn. Ang saya!

I changed my layout, updated my ipod na gusto ko rin lagyan ng skin... hehehe. Still looking for a cute design.

The Face Behind this Blog


Tagged by Irel

The face behind this blog... hanep sa picture, all smile! hehehe. Ok let's talk all about me.

My nickname is Wella, but my ate's calls me Weng, my friends naman sometimes calls me Wells, Wewe, Wellapot and my only tita calls me Lowel. To be honest, I don't like my name pero I don't hate it either. Wala lang feeling ko lang. If I'm given the chance to change my name, I want Trixie, bitch na bitch ang dating... hehehe. Sabi ng mom ko, di naman daw Lowela dapat ang name ko, it should be Leilani or Liezel. E si lola ko (mom of my dad), naging kontrabida sa mga panahon na yun at may I suggested na "Lowela". And sabi pa ng mom ko, di daw dapat ganon yung spelling non, dapat "Louella". Ang may sala.... ang nurse! Unconscious pa siguro ang mom ko non at di nasabi yung correct spelling for my name kaya si nurse nagmarunong at yun ang ginawa sa birth certificate ko.. well pronounced di ba. Ni let go na lang ng mom ko para di na magulo.

Among the 5 kids, ako lang daw ang naka-experience ng may yaya. My mom was so busy that time sa aming family business (small restaurant). Pero nung 2 years old na ko, di na ko nagyaya coz we transferred to another place and gave up the resto. Lumaki ako sa palo ng tsinelas kase ubod ako ng tigas ng ulo... pasaway na bata in short. Pero di ko naman masasabi na bratinella ako. In a way, proud ako sa sarili ko kase never ako gumawa ng something na ikakasakit ng ulo ng parents ko. Actually takot ako sa kuya ko kesa sa dad ko. Kase ang dad ko less talk sya... kya feeling ko ok lang... pero pag nagsalita na sya, tagus tagusan, makakarinig ka na ng mga words na sasabihin mo sa sarili mo na sana bingi ka na lang... hehehe...

Speaking of takot, I must say na masyado akong matatakutin. Bihira ako manood ng mga suspense movies, yun e yung mga sapilitang manood para wag masabihan na KJ (kulang sa joy). Takot ako sa multo, and sa daga.. basta any forms ng rats (rabbit, hamster, guinea pig, white mouse).

I love sour and salty foods. I don't have a sweet tooth, mana ako sa mommy ko. Di rin ako nakain ng mga spicy foods kaya di ako pwede sa Thailand. I don't eat chocolates with nuts and peanut butter. Siguro yung with nuts, toblerone lang. When it comes to cake, red ribbon products lang. Kase not too sweet yung cakes nila... and from casa bravo ba yun... basta yun na yun. I'm not an experimental person na lahat ittry na kainin, basta kung sa paningin ko eh di na masarap, I won't dare to eat it.

In music naman, I had no particular genre. Anything goes, old or new music, ok lang. Siguro depende na rin sa trip ko, but usually I listened to RnB, Trance or House party music. Just to lighten up my mood. I remembered my friend asked me what will be my funeral song, I said I want "Passenger Seat by Stephen Speaks". Why? I don't know, I just like the song.

I want everything in organize, but Im not OC, siguro metikolosa lang. Sobrang arte ko lang siguro na kala ng mommy ko e super gulo ng room ko kase nga madami akong abubot. These abubots are my collections. When I was in my grade school years, I collect stationeries with or without scents na super exchange pa with my friends na ginawa ko na rin business. Lagi ako nagpapabili sa mommy ko non, ung may kasama pang envelope. Tapos ibebenta ko ng piso pag may envelope, 50cents pag wala. Tapos lagi akong nagtitira ng isang piraso for me. Nung highschool naman ako, archie comics naman, until now naiwan ko nga lang sa Pinas. Then I started collecting watches, sympre may sponsor ako ng watch ko.. my kuya..hehehe. I had benetton, swatch, pop swatch, esprit, bubble watch ng sesame street, boy london, pati smiley watches. Different colors and style. But now, 3 watches na lang ginagamit ko. Nung nagstart na ko magwork, sympre can afford na ko, shoes and bags naman. Taka nga ako e di ako mahilig sa clothes.

Im not an ambitious person, actually nung bata ako di ko nga alam kung ano ambition ko eh. I just want to be successful in whatever Im in and in the future.

So thats it!

Hair Makeover

I've finally decided to have a hair cut, but not too short, a shoulder length will do. Bad trip tlga ang split ends, I thought wala na, pero with the cold temperature, nagddry talaga ang hair ko. And Im also sick and tired of those falling hair, e long hair pa naman ako kaya mahirap i-manage.

Thou, a simple layered cut lang naman ang gusto ko, I tried to search for a virtual makeover. You can upload your own photo and tried their different but limited hair styles. Here are some of my experimental look.



Aliw!!!

A week

Im exactly one week here in USA.. and i had so many observations and discoveries.

1. In driving, they're very careful with the traffic rules. As in super discipline... bawal ang kaskasero at gahaman sa kalsada! hehehe! And also in a pedestrian they have all the rights.

2. The sun comes down around 8pm. Imagine, your having your dinner ang liwanag pa.

3. There's a self counter in a supermarket. You just scan your stuffs, swipe your card and your done.

4. You can leave your car with an open window. In short, walang carnapping!

5. In a lingerie section, the 1st thing you can see is the 38D sizes of bra.

6. Large orders of food. Ay naku, nasasayang lang sken ung ibang food... busog kagad eh.. hehehe...

I guess this is for now... hehehe...

Im a Certified Driver

Got my driver's license today! Kung yesterday eh sobrang inis ako sa mga staff ng LTO, ngyon im happy kse papagalitan sila ng Chief Officer nila. My dad know pala the chief officer there.

Kwento lang naman sken ng erpat ko kse di na ko sumama sa knya knina. When he was there to look for the guy na kausap namen kahapon to help him na marelease ung license ko, sakto yung chief head nila don nakita sya, ano daw ginagawa nilang dalawa don, so un nga may I explained naman si father at kung ano ginawa and sinabi samen nung dalawang guy sa releasing. Then after how many minutes, tadadannnn... i got my license. Tapos sabi ng chief lagot sila... bwahahaha...

Di pa nakontento erpat ko, pumunta siya sa releasing window, sabi nya don "Pare salamat dito ah, sabay pakita ng license ko". Sabi sa knya, "Sir, bat mo pa pinaabot kay chief". Ayan butinga!!! Its so unfair kse ang piniprint nilang license ung nag-aapply that day. How sure are we na by April 16 e marerelease ung license namen. Sobrang hassle no!

Ayan may license na ko... car na lang kulang! nyahaha!

Overdrive

Overdrive sang by the Eraserheads is my theme song for this month. Im done yesterday with my driving lesson. Ang layo na ng narating ko.. Cavite! Medyo na-overwhelmed ako kse ang dami talagang mga tips and lessons na tinuro sken. A 5 hour lesson was a short one for a beginner like me, thou practice na lang tlaga ang kailangan ko, para atleast khet papano maging familiarize ako sa lahat. Before I thought driving was fun. It is pero you have lots of things to consider. Your much concerned with the people's cars. Im trying to be a defensive driver tlga. And khet papano I am naman. Madami pa akong dapat iimprove.

Kanina nga e, sumabit pa ko sa gate namen. Buti na lang side mirror lang and di naman total damage. Walang halong gasgas.... hay.. thank God.

Since magreresign na ko by next month, I have lots of time to practice. Ang major problem ko lang is ung magmaneobra. Damn shit, lagi akong namamatayan ng makina! Nakakahiya kse ang dami kong cars na naperwisyo. Well, i know they've been there so dapat they'll understand me. Kaya lang they dont since wala nmn akong sign board na student driver. Unlike nung nsa driving school ako.

So dapat ito tlga ang dapat kong ipractice. Dito lang muna sa compound namen, para di na ganon ka-hassle. nyahaha!

And one more thing, nangangapa pa ko sa car namen kse damn shit pang drag race kse ang set-up. So khet konting accelerate ang gawin ko... ang lakas ng brooooooommmmm nya. So lahat kya ng tao nakatingin smen, kse nga lupit ng dating ko! nyahahaa!

Practice makes perfect! "Magddrive ako hanggang baguio!!!!"

I love myself today!

Yes!!! I love myself today... why?

1st: I had my check-up with my OB, and consulting some concerns. For the very first time, pinapsmear ako... ouch!!!! damn ganon pla un... mejo masakit pero tolerable naman.. pero kahit na.. ouch pa rin. Before, i believed that papsmear is done for the oldies... ages 30+ and above. But according to my OB, its an old practice na raw... dapat nga daw at the age of 23 or kelan ung 1st contact. Some nga daw ayaw magpapapsmear. Ako naman kse its for my own good din naman... pra as early as now, i know if there's any other problem with my reproductive organ. Ay naku my doctor nga keeps on convincing and making kulit na magbuntis na raw ako.. gusto ko sana sabihin sa knya na "doc, ung asawa ko po ang kumbisihin nyo". Next week, magpapa-transvaginal ultrasound ulit ako.. ouch again! To check kung ano tlga problema ko.. aside sa utak! hahaha!

2nd: I bought some beauty regimen, which i discovered na effective sa iba.. so might as well to try it. And sympre nagpa-facial, foot spa and full body massage na rin ako... WHEWWWW heaven ang feeling!!! feeling reyna ako knina... nyahaha!

Next time ulit!!! hehehe!
