Celine's Day-off: June 2012

Photography: 16 and 17Th Hotair Balloon Festival

Okay this is a long overdue. Since I wasn't been active to blogger this past few months. For 3 years now I'm attending the Hot Air Balloon Festival that is held every February in Clark Air Base, PH. I remember the first time I went to the event (15Th Hot Air Balloon Festival), I was just bringing my old model 4 megapixel digital camera. The place was jam-packed and I can't get any closer to get a better shot. It was the time I dreamed of having my own DSLR. Still luck strike, my mom went with us and she got us in and I was able to get better shots (click here).

Last year (16Th Hotair Balloon Festival) my camera broke. Maybe because it is old. My desire to get my own DSLR frustrates me plus the fact that I know it is impossible for me to get one because it is expensive. So February came and I didn't have my own camera. Good thing my best friend lend me her digital camera. But we came late and the line on the ticket booth was endless. I was losing hope. I know I will not get a good shot. The balloons, one by one started to take-off and I'm still in line. I know I didn't make it. Until I saw the mountain, sunrise, thick clouds and the flying balloons. I saw that it is a perfect silhouette shot. I left the line took the photo and viola! I was happy!

DAY-OFF: Girly Bonding with Yasha

I work 6 days a week, and today is my rest day! Starting today I've decided to share to you on how I would spend my day-off. Actually, I'd rather spend some quality time with my family or friends during my off than spending the whole day sleeping or doing nothing. So technically I don't rest on my rest day.

What did I do today? I stayed at home and I had some girly time with my niece Yasha! She asked me to put on her new hello kitty nail polish. It was from my sister mellette who loves hello kitty as well. But, besides the different hello kitty stuff she also gave us an Avengers action figure for Khalil, Starbucks Italian roast coffee for our dad and a big bag of chocolate for all of us (Khalil and Yasha are you ready to lose some tooth? haha!)!

Recipe: Dad's Spicy Shrimp

I must admit that my dad is the best cook in the family. He worked in some famous restaurants back then that is why he got some delicious recipes. My dad cooks our breakfast everyday and his omelet is my favorite! But, besides his omelet, my second favorite is his Spicy Shrimp which I'm going to share today. This dish is very easy and affordable.

Iguana (Formerly Zapata's) Cantina Mexicana

Let's go Mexican! Since my previous post is about my favorite Mexican dish (Burrito), I've decided to blog about my Favorite Authentic Mexican Restaurant (Zapata's) that serves the most delicious Burrito in Pampanga, Philippines! I've tried some burritos from other Mexican restaurants here in Pampanga, But Zapata's ALL MEAT (BEEF) BURRITO is the best!

Recipe: Celine's Homemade Burrito

I'll be sharing my favorite Mexican dish. It's my own version of Burrito. It is cheaper and easy to do.

Burrito - (US English /bəˈritoʊ/, Spanish: [buˈrito]), or taco de harina,^[1] is a type of Mexican food. It consists of a wheat flour tortilla-wrapped or folded into a roughly cylindrical shape to completely enclose a filling. (In contrast, a taco is generally formed by simply folding a tortilla in half around a filling, leaving the semicircular perimeter open.) The flour tortilla is usually lightly grilled or steamed, to soften it and make it more pliable.

Chocolate Truffles

Backpaking is a form of low-cost, independent local/international travel.

I am planning to try backpacking soon. It's one of my must-try adventure hopefully before 2012 ends. I'm still choosing a place but, definitely it would be an international travel. My prospect places are: Hong Kong, Macau or Singapore. It will be my first time to go out of my comfort zone. I hope it will be pushed through... and I hope my travel partner/best friend will be able to come with me!
