Old and not so New!

Look what I found while browsing my files. Hubz first ever phone bought in 1997, a bulky motorola. The slimmer phone is the one he still uses...it's a nokia unit, It was a gift I gave him last Christmas 2007. Just look at that old motorola phone, it's so huge. I am just glad cellphones now are smaller and lighter. :)

I first had my cellphone in 2001. A bosch model. Too bad I wasnt able to keep it. It got lost by a friend. Before I had a cellphone, I first carried a beeper,some called it pager. Do you still remeber what a beeper is? Well if not....beeper are just text messages created without the genius of the QWERTY keypad. So you gotta call the operator of your provider to send messages. That time it was cool! hahaha.

Anyway, what's your communication and gadget evolution!

The Chicharon

My mom went to Nueva Ecija the other day and what did you know, she bough bunch of this...

Chicharon

Oh boy...I am on a diet albeit this pork crackling is as well as good to pass up. I ate few pieces...five small pieces, hubs on the other hand got some more pieces and ate it along with rice and the sauteed vegetable we had for dinner that night. It was good he exclaimed. Chicharon is a real favorite, with a good vinegar for dipping, I could finish the whole pack but I have to watch it. I don't want to add more pounds.

The pack of chicharon is still more than half filled at this moment. I still don't know when will I bite some pieces again. I could ask mom to cook sauteed munggo and replace the pork with this. Yummm!!!

If you have this pack of chicharon, what will you do with it?

Few Beginnings

yummmm

After eating too much throughout the New Year feast, now comes husband's birthday. We had that pork barbecues last Saturday at my in-laws place. We celebrated my husband birthday a day earlier (his birthday falls on a Sunday). Happy Birthday Labs!!!!

Anyway, I have to start moving my body again. I gained 5 lbs, few more pounds, I will be overweight and I don't want that to happen.

Did you gained too? You want to join me in shedding those extra. It would be really fun to do it with you! :)

Have a great week everyone!!
