Former Boss did well

Business is somewhat difficult when it comes to communication. Though English is the universal language that people all over the world uses still, it is more potential if communicating with the local language of the customer. My former boss has this client from India and though the client knew English my boss opted to submit his proposal with the client’s native language. Client got impress and awarded the project to him. From that on, my former company got more projects from India because of the good impression the client gave.

It was a good thing that boss uses a help from a translating company IAFL. I visited their site online and was impressed because, it has so many services to offer. They also gave pointers why it is much better to communicate with the clients' own language in making business. Could you believe, they accurately translate product manuals and other business documents in the best effective way to communicate with clients? That’s what my boss did, he let this guys translate his business documents then submit it to the client and end up having the project. Too bad, I resigned; I should be at India right now for that project. There are lots of great places to visit at India. Methinks If I re-apply, hehehe just kidding.

Anyway, it’s another weekend. Have a splendid 2 day rest. 

Seafood Kare Kare

Hubz love karekare so much but since I wanted a much healtier version, I opted to make seafood kare kare instead. This is a simple dish. you'll just need: 10 pcs mussel (tahong)
10 pcs clams
10 pcs prawns
half kilo sliced squid squid (calamari)
eggplant sliced
string bean
pechay
banana blossom about 1/4 cup
4 spoonful peanut butter
1-pack mama sita kare kare mix dissolve in 1 cup water
onions and garlic
shrimp paste

Then:

Steam the seafood about 8-10 minutes, dont overcook. set aside.
In a saucepan, saute the onions and garlic. Then add the eggplant, string beans saute for 5 minutes. add the pechay then the banana blossom. Set aside.

In a separate saucepan, saute another batch of garlic and onion, add the diluted kare kare mix (makes life easier :) ). Simmer for a minute add peanut butter, to make it more tastier. Lower the heat and occasionaly stir to avoid the sauce from burning. If the sauce thickens add the steam seafood and vegtable. Let it simmer for a minute. It's done. Easy right?

Serve with shrimp paste (I want my bagoong spicy)...yummy :)

Cupcake in Red

I made this cupake today for hubz..he was not really feeling well. So to cheer him up, I bake these cuppies...

I made research over the net to find a good recipe, since I've tried choclate, banana, strawberry and coffee cupcake, I picked this recipe to make a difference. I made slight substitution on some ingridients though. It still turned out good :)

I'm a bit busy but I promise to post the recipe really really soon!

Slowly but surely

Thank heaven it's Friday. My most ever favorite day, you know what I mean. hmmmm...first and foremost, let me update you with what I've share the other day, all is well now, though It's not yet settled between the Fil bosses and my officemates...Good thing the counterpart bosses at Cali where that so supportive that made them calm :)

I'm sure everything will be okay in a slow but sure manner. As I've said, the team is so lucky to have such great Cali bosses :)

Hey Boss when will I get my US visa, hehehe :)

Just want to share

Skipped work today. Why???

Aside from hubz being here, which is what I always love..staying home and spending time with him, either sleeping or eating banana que (our favorite), there's one more reason that made me hate to go to work today.

and what was it anyway????
well..lets put it this way...sometimes (or most of the time), employees don't really get what they want from the company. I mean the benefits, the salary increase...let's say not contented. I felt that I was getting too much rant from others that made me feel so tired feverishly and somehow affects my working habit. Therefore, I decided to take a day off from all it. anticipating tomorrow, positivity will cooperate with me.

I thought....
I am fortunate because I am contented on what I have. My salary is not that big but I am happy. I have the good friends at the office which made me lucky. I have good US bosses. Though I must admit, my Filipino bosses sometimes sucks. Nevertheless, that is a small percentage for me to complain about things.

so what now...
I'm not against of what the others did, they can do what ever action they want to let the company know what their complains are, just hoping that sooner, things will be settled between you guys. "sigh"

New one

I've decided to change my blogger template. I find it boring eversince but the laziness really hit me. So now, since I skipped work and got nothing to do, I search the world wide web and look for nifty template and found this sweet strawberry design. Thanks to final sense in offerring such neat free template. You rock :)
