Are you really happy?

Today, I have came to myself that I have so many things to be thankful for. Sometimes everything around us tend to be a sequence or routine and it comes overlooked. This week I realized that out of one simple act can brighten up your day, just by giving out used clothes from our closet. And also, remembering how hubby calls whenever he's out, to ask me how my day went and what am I doing or the morning kiss that always greet me is too sweet to be unheeded. The times that my dad left viber messages and the idea that he tries to call me when I got missed calls (often fails to return his call though -.-) can be cute memories unnoticed through the test of time. So we should pay attention to what we have and those people who treat us more than well. A stranger or the not so favorite friend can be that person too, who gives you importance yet had taken for granted all the while. I was guilty for all those times I asked God by prayer of abundance in my life, in strife of how he speaks to me because of what others try to redefine his words. So you really need to study His word and not just hearing it by someone and holding on to his promise that He gives us all the desires of our hearts. Because before He said that, it sez, "Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4). His promise are true for what is true. It's like deeper than what we think. If we delight ourselves in the Lord, it's experiencing bliss of His existence, and not just claiming that we believe in Him and His going to give our heart's desires because we're like fools. Yes, true! He faithfully gives us more than our desires, because he gives us the best not what we think is best for us, your desire is yours but not His! He gives us joy rather than temporary things you believe called felicity. Each one of us wants to be happy in every aspect, and that we always search for it. It's indeed the most ridiculous phrase because you'll never find it. Yet, there's this nature of seeking something uncertain that we think, can make as whole. And once we achieved it. It can satisfy us for a moment but just for that moment. The next day and months you'll be used to it and start to search for new. Unending it is, he/she is never enough. We imagine someone else or make comparison, and that can result to contention or separation. Also, It was said that one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possession (luke 12:15). You can buy 3 cars but you can only drive one car at a time. I do not understand the idea that you will become more happy if you have a big house and travel around the world, rather than living a peaceful life with the people you love. Would you agree with that? Well, I do not know what makes you happy and what's your priority in life. It can be someone or something and it can always change. For me, you just allow yourself to be contented of what you have. Start appreciating every last bite. Often we don't see them if our plate is full. So we should learn to give time to the one who has created our life. From the day I start walking with the Lord,  I still feel happy, of course I am a normal human being. But it was different when I made a intimate relationship with Him. I pray for contentment because if I feel that way, it's more than just being happy. Start your relationship with Him too, it doesn't need your attendance every Sundays or like partying till the break of dawn. Talking to Him doesn't need an altar to be heard. It takes a sincere heart at any time 24/7 wherever you are. Because I can't stop telling the world the impacts the way I live my life on a daily basis ^.^ How about you, are you JUST Happy? ;-)

Update your Crowning Glory

I am not an expert but I tried a lot'f hair styles and colors, for me to give you some helpful tips to maintain it's healthy glow and shine. All you need is a hair update. You don't have to spend more just to achieve a well maintained hair.

You just need to take care of it everyday. ^.^

Here are some TIPS:  Use shampoo every other day. Do not skip hair treatment that repairs and gives shine. Use Hair Spa or Hot Oil for 3min before you wet your hair before taking a shower.You may use local or cheap hair conditioners after shampoo, but don't compromise with hair treatments. Use Hair Treatment alternate it using hair conditioner every other day. If you often use the same product the hair becomes dull, and you blame the product of not giving you the same result the endorser look. hehe. Oh no! Nothing comes easy when you take care of something. It all applies to everything. Buy the known brands or go to known salons and buy their hair treatments. The price of one bottle is equivalent to one application if you have it done in the salon. So go ahead and apply it on your own for 2 months because you are not anymore paying the place and attendant. You are paying attention to your hair!

Here's for weekly Hair Pampering: The substance of your hair food can be found not in expensive salon, but in the grocery stores with the help of cheap buy one take one  hair treatments. All you need is Mayonnaise, Egg Yolk (Yellow), Vinegar and Virgin Coconut Oil. ^.^

NOYPI Rice Noodle Dish Made DELISH...

One of the Snacks I Love to Cook. Simply because I Love PALABOK.

I can remember how I used to order this at Red Ribbon, whenever I have cravings.

For me, that was the best already because I don't have any enthusiasm yet in cooking.

When my husband and I moved in Davao Mid Month of this year, I started feeling that habit in cooking. Pasta is our wonted afternoon foodie between meals. Not after I had my grocery last July and put 2 packs of special palabok in my cart. ^.^

Now write down the mixtures of this recipe:
Rice sticks
Cooking oil
Garlic
Onion
Ground pork
Pork broth
Annato (atsuete)
Shrimp cube
Fish sauce
Corn starch

For the Toppings:
Cooked shrimps (shelled and boiled)
Smoked Fish (tinapa flakes)
Pork chicharon (grounded)
Hard boiled eggs (sliced lengthwise)
Fried minced garlic
Sping onions
Lemon or calamansi extract

Here's how: Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Heat cooking in oil in a saucepan and saute garlic and onion. Add ground pork and cook for 5min or until pork turns brown. Add the pork broth (3cups) and the dissolved annatto (asuete). Let it boil. Add shrimp cube and fish sauce. Add dissolved cornstarch. Cook until the sauce becomes thick. Combine the drained noodles and garnish with the toppings. Squeeze some lemon or calamansi extract.

SERVE HOT, TAKE A PIC and PATENTLY RELISH!

Are these FEELINGS from GOD?

     I have said before that when I will be married, I will definitely write my love story as a testimony to inspire people that they should wait for the right person because before this was written, God wrote it already and made it all perfect but I should take responsible of maintaining its value by taking care of it, and taking extra care of it everyday to make it a perfect relationship.

     Relationships doesn't have to be all romantic and sweet because life is all made to be imperfect so that we will always need God's help for wisdom, guidance and His amazing grace that strengthens us whenever we fall and stumble as long as we seek to love Him because He has loved us first before we have loved Him. Yes, there's no such thing as a perfect kind'f love, but God's love is perfect. When we acknowledge His ways, He will surely make things right for us. You will know when it's the right person when it came from God. Not all married couples are God given partners because all should came from a good start and blessings will be seen by the people around you, by your family and not just by friends. When it's from Him, it should be forever and you'll help each other working it out! That's EACH OTHER!Especially when you're already married."What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate".-Matthew 19:6. Only death can separate you both.;)

     Not all intense feelings are true. It can be love or infatuation, so you should be careful on what you really feel because these feelings are more often confused for each other by many, and I have experienced it too. Asses what you feel and you study what the other person feels. You may have different intentions.So you better watch out!"Guard your heart more than anything else, because the source of your life flows from it."-Proverbs 4:23.

     Love doesn't have to be that intense, it should be more of an affection than attraction, while infatuation's physical attraction is central. Being infatuated is being head over heels and leads to reckless abandonment of what was once valued, and that includes your family, work, and above all, time with the Lord.Infatuation is like a feeling of uncontrollable sexual desire and hormonal activity. All-consuming-addictive, that you loss the ability to make rational evaluations of what is true and worthy. You take risks to make it happen and to satisfy yourself. Because when it's love, you don't have to take control or to make any effort at it all because it will just happen, because God will put things in order. You will just believe that His plans are greater than yours. 

     In love, feelings of security is felt even if you are not together, either married or in a relationship. There's peace and you feel confident and contented. 

     A relationship truly in love, requires a lot of selflessness and polite assertiveness. This is the time that you will think about other person's feelings before you speak and act. It's the time you want to improve yourself better to make him love you more and make that person happy of having you, rather than thinking of what the person will do for you to be happy, although oftentimes i expect it from my hubby, and that once selfish me to a work on progress selfless me. It's gradual process and its a work overtime thing.For those waiting, you just need to be the right one, to find the right one. Just prepare yourself for the Lord's best.;)

    Long engagement is not the basis of love, and I am not saying long term relationship is not true because mine didn't work out before, or whirlwind romance will lead to long-lasting love. What I am saying is that we don't have to save something not worthy of our worth. The best kind of love makes us closer to our Lord Jesus, to our family not living like on your own world kind of love, and always gonna bring out the best of each other! Not to influence you to do things that are not pleasing to the Lord. I may sound boring in that matter but good will always be greater than bad and that results blessings, while bad will leads to sin and no matter how small it is, it has a consequence. So grab this day as a chance to live not to the fullest because we only live once we should live it with goodness and love the right person who loves us back and deserves our worth and time. 

     Above all, we value God's love by following Him and waiting for what He promised in our Lives. ;)

Lemme share this:

I always thank our living God for His words are true.  The love that he has placed in my heart, the fire in my soul that I can't contain,and for giving me a husband who I can grow more of His great presence. ^.^




I am so sorry if I didn't really write about my love story, instead I wrote the road which I had taken, in His words...that perhaps leads to your love story written by God. 

GOODNIGHT!I hope it's something worth reading for... <3 

"for chriSTEAK!" A Beef-Loving Dream Come True STEAK @ Ur Table :-*

 

STEAK, is one of my favorite food. It's just that I can't order them weekly or even monthly simply I can't afford them, Haha! I decided to learn how, so I can have as much of it and for my Hubby's Tummy...

 

 Here are two questions for you,...

 

How can you cook a tender juicy steak at home?

How can you cook steaks as tender as your favorite restaurant?

 

You invest a lot of money into steaks, for special occasions and when dinner time comes, they are tough. I'm sure it feels wonderful if the judge/s will kiss you by the taste of your cooking, ayt? (Hehe Thanks My Love) So do it with your whole heart :)

 

The first step to cook a good steak is to choose the right kind of grade of meat. Choose the top quality beef in your supermarkets and make sure it is marbled or minimal marbling of fat and leaner will do. The most tender and juicy steaks come from the sirloin, the short loin and the rib part. Aged steaks are more expensive and usually found in high end supermarkets.

 

Once you've purchased your meat, you can further increase the tenderness and juiciness by marinating it.

 

Try a marinade made of a good cup of wine and olive oil, mixed with 2 tablespoons of lemon or herb vinegar. Add seasonings such as garlic, freshly ground pepper, onion and herbs. Place the steak in a ziplock bag or very zealed container.

 

Refrigerate Overnight.

 

 

When ready to cook, place meat in place and flat to prevent it from curling. Steaks can cook broiled, grilled or pan fried. Don't forget to turn the steak only once. Cook the meat until browned on one side and half done, then turn and finish the other side. Turning to often will stew the meat rather than searing it and produces a less juicy steak. When the steak is done, allow it to rest before serving. Yes, I am reading it now while writing it, and I so sound like a real master chef huh?,hehehe

 

Ahem, seriously, while the meat rests you can make a sauce if desired. Use your favorite ready made sauce, or fry mushrooms and onions in the pan or mashed potato with veggies. I usually use mushrooms and onions and fry it with butter with a little flour, and splash it with wine to loosen the bits, and seasonings to taste. Now, the most awaited part is to SERVE AND ENJOY!  

 

You may serve it with RISOTTO ( do check it out on my next blog, probably the end of the month).. And wear your sexy elegant dress and red lipstick to match it all up... ^.^

 For the Gentlemen, wear anything clean and fresh and don't forget to put candlelight and bouquet of roses... <3

 

God Bless Everyone! Till Next Visit ;)
