Chicken Ala King

I tried cooking Chicken Ala King. This is what I missed in Greenwich. Everytime I visit Greenwich Pizza, hindi pizza ang inoorder ko, its their chicken ala king top with quickmelt cheese. Infairness, I like also their pizzas but im not really a pizza lover, unless a pizza from 3M or lotsa pizza. Yung tipong dumidikit tlga ung cheese sa ngalangala mo. hahhaa. I can eat more than 3 slices of that. Unlike pizza hut, shakeys, sbarro or yellow cab hanggang 2 slices lang ako.. at kailangan gutom ako non.

Since first ko lutuin 'to, sana lang eh magustuhan ni Nikky... I believe he haven't eaten like this before. For the ingredients and procedure:

• Simmer boneless chicken, season with some salt, and drain. Let it cool and chop into cubes.
• Melt some butter and add onions, carrots, frozen peas and mushrooms. Do not overcooked. Remove from the pan.
• Using the same pan, melt some butter, add flour. Whisk very well to prevent any lumps. Add milk, cream and chicken broth. You can use chicken cubes. Let it simmer.
• Add the rest of the ingredients, salt and pepper to taste.

And the finish product... tadaaaa... Perfect! By the way, Im not into measuring thing, coz I know we have different taste buds. Tanchahan na lang oki.

Cheer me up award

Thank you idealpinkrose for this.

Cross-posting

Lately.. hmmm not lately I think its been a month or so, Im having a problem with cross-posting from Blogger to Multiply. I already emailed the customer support regarding this issue and its taking so long to get a reply. I already checked what they've asked me to check and it's fine since I didn't edit anything. I don't have any problems when cross-posting from Multiply to Blogger but Im much comfortable in using blogger. I have no idea what seems to be the problem but I hope somebody out there can help me. HELP!!!!

Dental check-up

The last time I had my dental check-up was last year before I left Pinas. My tita who's a dentist was the one taking care of my teeth. I still have another dentist, for emergency purposes. She's a medicard accredited. Sayang naman yung contribution ko kung di ko gagamitin yun. Today, I saw a dentist because of toothache. Im not sure kung may butas yung ipin ko kase very seldom lang naman kung sumakit. Since Im a new patient, they had me a dental x-ray. First time ko lang gawin yun. Di naman masakit, pero kangawit kase nganga ka ng nganga. Mabait naman yung new dentist ko. He explains to me kung ano ang mga nakita nya sa aking pearly whitey teeth... hehehe. Meron nga lang syang speech defect kaya di ko masyadong maintindihan. So akala ko 4 tooth ang bubunutin sken yun pla 2 lang. Ang masaklap eh may cavity na yung 2 molar tooth ko sa upper. Waaaaaa..... complete pa naman yung teeth ko don... I don't need naman daw yun. At yung sinasabi kong masakit, its not the tooth itself, its the gum. At no problem naman don kase wala naman syang makitang cavity. So he gave me toothpaste for sensitivity. Use it after brushing my teeth at night tapos konti lang and put it sa affected gums. So its payment time, wow... they charged me $242.00. Ayos! Buti na lang may dental insurance ako, so mairereimburse naman. I'll be on February for the extraction and di ko alam kung ano yung isa. Basta 2 appointments ko sa kanya this February. And they handed me the estimated cost for the operation... hehehe operation eh. Ay sus tumataginting na $1K+... di pa sure kung tataas or baba since estimated pa lang. Again, buti na lang Im Nikky's dependent sa kanyang insurance. Babayaran ko muna from my own pocket then saka ko marereimburse. Ok na rin kesa naman magdusa ako sa sakit in the future.

with free loot bag pa.

Its below ZERO

Despite of frigid weather, we still went out and watched Cloverfield. When I watched the preview, I was curious about this movie. But to my dismay, I didn't like it. It was like blair witch project. The whole scenes was caught in an amateur video. Kaya super nakakahilo panoorin. May comedy part nman since yung nakuha ng video was funny. Its about a giant monster like Godzilla, na di naman alam kung san nanggaling. Bigla na lang sumulpot. Ang ending namatay yung mga bida na di man lang pinakita kung ano ung monster na yun. At ang tibay ng handycam nila, nababalibag na lahat lahat buhay pa rin. Here are some facts about that movie from yahoo. Click the link

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.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

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

Hataw ang Peso!!!!

I sent my regular remittance for my family in Pinas. And to my surprise, the exchange rate was down to 39.54 Php. Ay susmio, di ako natuwa kase it means, kailangan kong dagdagan yung padala ko. Di ako nagrereklamo kung magkano ang kailangan kong ipadala, nagrereklamo ako kase mababa na nga ang palitan, e tumataas naman ang gastusin sa Pinas. Sabi nga ng dad ko e ang gasoline na ngyon eh 45pesos per liter, so bale hanggang kanto lang yun noh. Kung ang business mo e yung mga pang exports, good news ito. Pero sa iba bad news ito at isa na ko don. Di rin naman biro ang gastusin dito anoh!

Ok maiba naman. Kwento sken ni Nikky na, he heard in the radio na somewhere in England, there's a girl and a boy who got married only to find out that they were twins. Yes, kasal na sila nung nalaman na magkapatid sila. They were separated when still a baby and adopted by different families. And because of that di pwede maging legal yung marriage nila. Ouch naman yun. Dobleng sakit, meron ka palang kapatid na kakambal mo pa and kung sino pa yung akala mo eh makakasama mo for the rest of your life, eh di pwede. Hayyyy... yan ang tinatawag na life and love. Drama!!!!!

Being moody...

Lately, sobrang moody ko. I'm very sensitive. Like last night, Nikky went out with his co-workers. We're both ok to go out with our friends alone, but this time, ayoko tlgang syang paalisin. But still umalis pa rin sya and enjoy the night. Sa sobrang sensitive ko, I cried. Ang OA pero ewan ko ba. Napaka-emotional ko tlaga. Gusto kong batukan sarili ko kase ang arte ko talaga. Kaasar! Tapos eto na yung naisip ko na, dati niyaya nya ako to join pero this time hindi. Sabi ko gusto ko sumama, pero parang deadma lang sa kanya. Dati pag ako ang nagyaya na mag-bar kme, ayaw nya. Sobrang badtrip tlga. Sa sobrang krung-krung ko, di ko sya tinabihan sa pagtulog. Well, aside from di ako makatulog because he snores, eh ang hirap talagang matulog pag inis ka sa isang tao na katabi mo. Pero tinabihan ko na rin sya, ang hirap matulog sa sofa... hehehe. I know Im being so unreasonable. Di naman sya malimit lumabas and besides ako rin naman ang may gusto na magkaron sya ng social life. Ang bad ko kase di ako nagreresponse when he says "i love you". Pero I don't have any intentions na di magreply. Hayy... PMS lang 'to. Ang hirap maging babae!!!!

Happy New Year

Ok so January 2 na pala. Di naman ganon big celebration ang New Year dito unlike in New York. So nag countdown lang naman ako sa office. From 11am to 3am... oha!!! And to think di pa ko tapos non, I wrote a short note for my co-worker, na papasok that time to print a report, tutal yun lang naman tlga wait ko. Sobrang exhausted tlga ako. Thou expected ko na tlgang matatapos ako ng late pero di naman ganon ka-late. Consolation ko na lang eh walang palpak sa systems. Nikky brought me KFC and ate it while watching marimar in youtube. Too bad, I can't check anymore my multiply, friendster and blogger sa work.... inis. So para mawala ang stress sa katawan.... SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!

Got a new bag and 2 kinky undies... hahaha.. aliw!
