Weeknight out with my girls





Our girls-pasta-dvd marathon-night out was a blast! Oh well I ended up cooking anything that's available at Ica's kitchen. But it was surprisingly and unimaginably tasty. They all thought it wouldn't be enough for the 4 of us but it made us all full and bloated for some reason. Only then we found out that baguio beans could be a good side dish with pasta if you are on a budget. Just use butter to stir fry it to make it a bit special!

Then we had our movie marathon started when we turned on the TV and caught a Maricel Soriano-Diether Ocampo-Claudine Baretto's Soltera flick. I can't believe it was my first time to see this movie. I am not a fan of local movies but I have seen a few that I liked ~ Caregiver, Anak, Magnifico, A very special love oh and Iskul Bukul (the original).

But then the movie marathon ended with just one more movie. We had The Notebook playing and the girls were a bit serious watching it. The movie is one of my faves and it never failed me. I've always fallen in love with Noah. He has always made every girl watching the movie (or reading the book) dream to be in Allie's place. I have always shed tears at the end of the movie especially when the old Allie suddenly lets go of the old Noah in the middle of their dance. Poof! She has forgotten everything again. This movie is just too sad! I wonder if someone could really be this patient to his behalf. Oh my, this entry is becoming too cheesy that I feel awkard now so I guess I'll have to wait till my next post for more movies....

What's cooking tonight?

So, it looks like I have not been writing anything until I found a really good article about the 5 habits of happy people even the biggest grump can borrow it came to me that it would be nice to share whatever I am learning on a daily basis as part of my passion. Coz I feel really good whenever I share any detail I found on the net, or heard on the radio or learned from a student or from anyone who I talk to. So, this is going to be part of what's going to make me feel I am creative and helpful, maybe ^^

So, as I mentioned this article that I found last night, I shared it with my friends at work and as one of them had a really frustrating day since our shift started, she found the material inspiring. So instead of turning to retail therapy, she can derive the discontentment by enjoying a girls-pasta&dvd marathon-night out. Oh and since I am the adventurous one when it comes to cooking, I'm left to the discovery of a new pasta recipe and found this Ham, Edamame, Mint Pasta + Truffled Breadcrumbs. I'm into pasta so this is going to be a really NEW experience. I can't wait to take pictures! ~~
