A short love story....

I am Chocolate Flavoured. I am sweet and a little bit naughty. I am one of the few clinically proven aphrodisiacs. Sometimes I can seem a little hard, but show warmth and I soon melt. What Flavour Are You?

It's been two years now since we become a couple.....

I first met Dj in 1997. He was an engineer at DMCI and I was a designer in an Electric Contractor Company. I was with somebody and he was with somebody else too. Years had past, we became constant chatmates and often call at each other. I considered him a great friend though we didn't see each other again. In the year 2002, I broke up with my boyfriend for four years. It really hurts that time, so there was I, looking for someone who will spent time in listening to my hurting. I called my girlfriends but they only worsen my hurt feeling. I decided to call Dj. There he was...Listening to me for hours. No matter what time do I call in his place, he patiently listens and talk with concern. After couple of talks with him, I find myself liking him, his concern, his beautiful manly voice. He then asked me to meet him again. He will fetch me at work and have dinner. I said yes..... And so the next day, I was excited and my heart is running fast. Boy, I can wait to see him again in person. After, five years, we will meet again. Then, the time I've waited come. He look much matured this time and he as a car already. It's a bit weird, we again introduce ourselves to each there and shake hands. We had dinner at Thai in a Box at Podium. He then drove me home after some chats. So that was it, I start falling for him. So after 5 days (yes 5 days) we become officially a couple. After 8 months we decided to get married.

And now, I'm happily married with him with no regrets. I truly believe that it's God's perfect timing for us to realized that we are meant for each other.

Oh by the way, for those who are curious why I and my 4 year boyfriend broke up....Its because, he made a fool out of me. On the mid part of our 4th year of being together, he courted somebody else. Its okay if he found someone else, but the bad thing was, that somebody was my cousin. Oh man, I was really hurting that time. Dj was there as a good friend. We really didn't expect that that we will end up together. Now, my former boyfriend and my cousin are married. I forgive them both already. The guy texted me during my wedding asking forgiveness and telling me that he made the worse mistake in his life,hurting me. Anyway, Im very much happy now and very much in love with my husband.

Anyways, I gave hubby and card the other day(Sept. 22 our anniv). It has a message on front like this "To my boyfriend, happy anniversary." He commented why such message. I answered back, the sweetness when we were just starting as a couple wont change. He then kissed and hug me.

It's nice having someone who truly loves you.

He rules this Sunday...

He rules this Sunday....He got to chose the dvd that we'll watched for the day. He pick 3 movies which are more of a brutal movie to me.

Death in A French Garden. Its 1985 murder, sex and intriguing movie. I loved the movie. The only thing is, it's in French. Good thing it has English caption. For a while I find it hard to watch the movie while reading the English caption, it's like Im reading a book but at the mid part of the movie, I end up liking it. After all the movie has a good story

Payback, A 1999 movie. A bit bloody. Dj finds the movie good, I find it very brutal. The hammering of Porter's foot is very painful to me. Though it wasnt directly shown in the movie, I can imagine it and can feel the pain too.

Another movie that we watched was a 1995 film Desperado, another bloody and a revengefull film. Though I wan't able to put my complete focus on this movie because I was making spag and Toni's Chessy Galric bread, I much like this movie than Payback. Salma Hayek really is a stunner.

My eyes went irritated in watching those 3 movies in a row but its okay, next week it's my turn. Nah we wont watch another dvd movies at home, I'll ask him to bring me somewhere for lunch or dinner perhaps. I'm kinda missing Superbowl of China . I loved their yummy hakao and their vegetarian spring roll. Oh cant wait for saturday. Oh by the way, The cheesy garlic bread of Toni's was vey yummy, we had it for dinner last night with the spaghetti ofcourse.

Its a Monday and lets start the day right. Have a wonderful week to all.

My cooking experiment

Oh I miss blogging, I was busy this past days, finally, got time to blog a little.

Since I submitted my preliminary works to our client yesterday, I was able to come home early. I said to myself, I'll cook something for Dj since the past 2 days, we had corned beef and fried bangus for dinner (Monday & Tuesday). Though I'm a bit tired, I manage to visit and do some buying at Shopwise Cubao. I was thinking of cooking stir fry vegetable in oyster sauce and Ma Po Tofu (good thing there's a Lee Kum Kee mix for this recipe) but I decided to cook something that I really work hard for, cook something without the help of mixes. So I get a grocery basket off to the meat area I go, I bought A kilo of Beef, some celery, half a kilo of ground pork (for the carbonara I'll cook on Saturday), french bread, mc cormick thyme leaves and oregano(for Toni's recipe). I get to see my favorite purple yam hopia, but I decided not to buy because I still have mongo hopia in out fridge which I bought at SM Manila last Saturday (Im crazy about hopia). Oh anyway, at 7:30pm, I was then finish with buying so I hailed an fx and went home. Luckily there's no traffic. I was home at 8:15pm. I then borrowed mom's pressure cooker so I can make the beef tender in a few minutes time. I really don't know what to cook. I just trust my sense of taste. So when the meat was tender, I saute the garlic, onions, celery then I add the beef (which I cut in strips). After a while, I add some oyster sauce. At first, a find the taste good but Im not yet satisfied so a put a dash of oregano and some chili powder....The verdict, it was yummy. I let it simmer for a minute and wooohooo, I cook a tasty dish .

Dj arrived home just in time for dinner. When he tasted the beef dish, he said that it taste good and ask what's the name of the dish, I just smiled and told him na its my labor of love dish. He was a little bit confused with my answer but he didn't mind, he was busy eating :D

A wedding and a reunion

Yesterday we (my mom, my father, auntie M, auntie O, Uncle L, grandma,2 cousins and my favorite nice Katkat) went to a wedding, the wedding of Jerame & Joy, Joy is my 2nd cousin whom I met for the first time just yesterday. I'm not really close to her. Its my parents and her parents who are close and were childhood playmates during their younger years. Actually, its more of a family reunion to me. I meet cousins and aunties and tito's whom I've never seen in my entire life.

The wedding mass was held at Immaculate Concepcion Parish at Pasig City. When the mass was over, they started to chat and mingle with one another. My uncle L keep on introducing me and my cousins to our other relatives. There was a scene that my father (Lets call him Daddy J), and one of his cousin whom last seen each other during gradeschool days pa, meet at that occasion after 5 decades. His cousin, start shedding tears, those were tears of joy as she explained.

There's also this incident that my Uncle L was talking to one cousin . . , so she asked where his wife(Aunt M) was, This cousin don't actually know who Aunt M is. So Uncle L, pointed to the lady (Aunt M) with a minty green blouse who is behind me. So his cousin approached me and asked in a confused voice:
C: ikaw ba asawa ni Leo?
(are you Leo's wife).
Jen: Ah nde po...mashado ko bata sa kanya. Uncle ko po sya.
(Ah no Im not, Im too young for him, he's my uncle)
Im his daughter (pointing to my father)
C ah ganun ba.(Oh I see)
Then I smiled and hold her right hand and make mano to her.

At the reception, the chatting and mingling didn't stop. Everyone was so happy and glad to see us. Then one aunt commented that I look like Aiko Melendez (mataba kc ako eh, he he he). Then one aunt keep on hugging and kissing me, then one uncle asked for my cell no. I was like star.

In all the wedding celebration I attended, this wedding is what I call intimate. All close family, relatives and some friends are invited. I really had a great time. I didn't regret in skipping my work yesterday. I had a chance to meet my other families. Gee Daddy J's clan is so big huh.

Oh by the way, I also enjoyed the food. It what terrific.

Have a nice weekend to all!

Sound the Alarm...

5:50am....what!!!! OMG its 5:50am! DJ is late for his shuttle service for work. He is very late. To those who didn't know, Dj is working at Cavite while we stayed in our little home at Q.C. He manage to go to his work through a shuttle service (a bus) from his office.

Our usual routine during workdays, is to wake up early, I wake up at around 3:45am to prepare Dj's very early breakfast , He wake up at 4:00am to get his self ready. He then leave the house at around 4:30am to meet the service at the pick up area somewhere at Cubao by 4:50am.

So for today,we didn't heard the two alarms that we set. Yup we set two alarms from two cellphones just incase we don't hear the first one.

Dj: Labs, its 5:50am.(with a shocking voice)
Jen: Hugh...ie, your late na! Will you still go to work.
Dj: Dunno. Matraffic. But I have to. Too many work less time
Jen: Bring the car with you.
Dj: I'll see. Mag shower muna ko.
Jen: K.
(Then I prepare a tuna sandwich for him)

So that was it, after making ourselves ready, we hit the traffic road of Q.C. It was 6:45 in the morning and I'm too early. I usually go to work at 7:15am.

(It was the first time after 9 months that the he drove me to work. I kinda miss it.)

I was at work at 7:20am , I was the first one to be here. Then one of my officemate came and he said "your too early ah." One by one my officemates arrived, and all of them were a bit astonish to see me this early.The usual time I get here is 8:30-8:45am (he he he).

Anyway, at 10:25am Dj texted me to inform me that he is at work already. Cheez, he was driving for almost 3 an a half hours. Wawa naman beybi ko. I'll give him a massage tonight.

Oh by the way, I found out from my mom that it rain this early morning, maybe that's the reason why we didn't heard the alarm or maybe its the rain that makes us sleep soundly. Oh well, the reason behind it is a secret that only time knows.

By the way, It's boss E's birthday. We had a yummy lunch courtesy of him. Thanks for the lunch boss and Happy birthday.

Let's exchange recipes...

I've posted another variation of Kaldereta recipe at one question check it out, you might want to try it or if you want to share a recipe that your friends and family loved you can post it here.

Its Friday once again, hope everyone will have a relaxing weekend. Make the most out of it, and don't forget to go to church on Sunday guys.

that's if for now and happy weekend to all!

September....September....

Whoa, time flies so fast. The "ber month is starting and Christmas is just a few months away. While Im writhing this, my officemate next to me is playing a chipmunks Christmas carol in his PC. This guy must be that excited for Christmas which remind me to start my early Christmas shopping for my dozen and a half inaanak. Anyways its too early yet, Im planning to do it by the end of the month to avoid rush and ofcourse due to financial constrain I better do my shopping every payday .

Speaking of September, The Gateway mall at Araneta will open this month. Cant wait to visit that mall. The five level Shopping Center will run from the LRT 2 Araneta Center Station at Aurora Boulevard and connect to the northern gate of Araneta Coliseum. The Mall is also link to the MRT-3 station at EDSA, so shoppers will have an easy access to it. My shapaholic trait is reserved for the opening of that mall, I really cant wait.

Hmmm...What else, this month my mom will celebrate her 59th birthday. Mom's age is getting older but her looks nah, she looks younger, I've asked her secret yesterday. She joke, "it's in the blood." No wonder I look a bit younger than my age (yabang ko noh!!!).

Ah I almost forget, this month too, I and Dj will be celebrating our 2nd year of being together as couple. It was September the 22nd when I accepted him as my bf and after 8 months we got married. Too fast isn't it, Cupid really hit us, so why the wait. After all, we been friends since 1997 and just found out that were in love with each other after 5 years. That's what i called in HIS perfect time. :D

Hmmm...time really flies so fast, today Im writhing about September events, in a couple of days, It's October that Im thinking of.

Have a happy month of September everyone!!!
