Celine's Day-off: July 2012

It's been raining for the whole week. Officially it is rainy season here in the Philippines. I was overwhelmed to summer and I didn't prepare for the rainy season, I bought shoes and sandals that I can't wear when it's raining. That is why I am now looking for the best shoes that fits the weather. And amazingly I found a lot of choices!

Recipe: Seafood Hotpot

Seafood Hotpot, is one of my favorites when I am eating in a Japanese Restaurant. I just got back from being sick. And it is already rainy season here in the Philippines. So I thought of this recipe, I remembered doing this recipe during the new year's eve of 2011 and my family loved it! As you have noticed most of my recipes are homemade and I don't use expensive ingredients simply because I am a very practical person. I always think of other alternative ways on how to make my favorite dish easy to do and as much as possible affordable. So, here is my version of Japanese Seafood Hotpot:

It's My Birthday!:)

The day was very ordinary except that I'm in good mood... I woke up ate my breakfast, took a shower and dress up for work. As I arrived at the office, I was lucky that only Kim remembered that it was my birthday. I'm not very comfortable when people greets me... It feels awkward and I don't know why. The day was about to end up as an ordinary day at work until my best friend Regina went to the office and surprised me! I'm not into surprises because I get very emotional. And it happened... I was teary eyed... TROLOLOL! I am very thankful to have friend like her. Thank you is not enough... I am out of words... I am very overwhelmed! I love you BFF!:)

Day-off/Photography: Say a little prayer

As I've said before, I am using a Canon A800 Power Shot digital camera in taking photos. I loved the features of my camera especially when taking macro shots. But, did you know that before I can shoot an amazing macro shot of insects I am praying at the same time? Yes! Because I need to get closer to the subject. As in very very very close like 1/4 inch close... It was very hard at the same time very fulfilling! So, here are some of it and I am happy to share it with you.

DAY-OFF: Productive Day (7.7.12)

As I've said I'll be sharing my rest day activities here. Starting this July my day-off is fixed, it will be every Saturday. Hooray to weekends! Hooray Friday and Saturday Night life is back!

As usual, I started my day by doing the laundry and clean the house. Then my sister Tina arrived to visit her kids in the afternoon. We chill and had a girly bonding as usual.

Photography: Butterfly (Macro Shot)

Since I got my Canon Power Shot I fell in love with macro shots. One of my favorite subject is a butterfly. Since I don't have enough time to visit a butterfly sanctuary, I just run after the butterflies in our garden. Here are some of it...

I've posted this few months ago on my tumblr. I just want to share it here. I saw this "recipe" when I was very active in tumblr, I was following this tumblr blog entitled "Party Rehabb" (a very amazing blog) who post about alcoholic beverage recipe and this Gummy Bears vodka got my attention because I am a gummy bear lover! I tried it and I loved it! At first I thought it wont give me a kick but when I started eating it I know I can't finish it... So here it is... how to make a gummy bear vodka!
