SPINS

I was about to meet the SPINS (Super Pretty and Incredible Nuffnang Staff) These are the pretty ladies behind the events, movie screenings, talent management, special projects and contests, etc! yesterday at  7^th High, Bonifacio High Street! Sadly just checked my email today. btw, this won't be the last right? Again, thanks to AJ Yabut for mailing me about it won't dare miss another event again! Hope everyone had fun! :)

Fifty Shades

I just got done reading Book 1 (Fifty Shades of Grey) and Book 2(Fifty shades Darker) of it, glad it has copy that can be downloadable online but, haven't start reading Book 3(Fifty Shades Freed) now cos, my friend told me that she'll lend me her book 3 (Hard Copy which she bought at National Book Store) First, Before i start reading it heard some feedback that it was a good story, heart touching love story and erotic but, some feedback that it wasn't suitable for us, at our age? but I'm legally 19 yrs old already!!

Fifty Shades of Grey follows Anastasia "Ana" Steele, a 22-year-old college senior who lives with her best friend Katherine Kavanagh; Katherine writes for their college's student paper. Because of illness, Katherine persuades Ana to take her place and interview 27-year-old Christian Grey, an incredibly successful and wealthy young entrepreneur. Ana is instantly attracted to Grey, but also finds him intimidating. As a result she stumbles through the interview and leaves Grey's office believing that it went badly. Ana tries to console herself with the thought that the two of them will probably not meet each other again. However she is surprised when Grey appears at the hardware store where she works.

There were it all started for that day onwards every time i read it with Grey and Ana moments i was blushing and smirking at the same time. Felt I was Ana for a moment and i fell in love with Christian Grey. Ohhh nooo *I blush But there is also part of the story in Book 1 were I felt I was broken then my tears shed suddenly.

The tension between Ana and Grey eventually comes to a head after Ana asks Grey to punish her in order to show her how extreme a BDSM relationship with him could be. Grey fulfills Ana's request, beating her with a belt, only for Ana to realize that the two of them are incompatible. Devastated, Ana leaves Grey and returns to the apartment she shares with Katherine. 

 Book 2: Daunted by the singular tastes and dark secrets of the beautiful, tormented young entrepreneur Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele has broken off their relationship to start a new career with a Seattle publishing house. 

But desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought, and when he proposes a new arrangement, Anastasia cannot resist. They rekindle their searing sensual affair, and Anastasia learns more about the harrowing past of her damaged, driven and demanding Fifty Shades. 

While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her, and make the most important decision of her life.

There's a lot of things happen in Book 2. I loved to tell everything that happened in it but, It would be nicer if you are the one reading it and knew every detail. Now, I can't wait to read the Book 3 and i don't want to stop. Hope EL James would write another. Hihi :'> 

PS: I promised to buy an original hard copy of Fifty Shades Triology, soon :-)

Hello Sembreak 2012!!

(2 more exams and I'm done, Hello Sembreak. Our exam date was from October 11-15, 2012 luckily my exams date were only from thursday to saturday plus i have 2 subjects were I'm exempted with our final exam, this was my first time really. I was so happy finally, i had the chance to have a break and no worries with exams)

After my exam, I've waited for my friend Jem Lim because, she asked me to go out on a saturday night to welcome our Semestral break!

I think our saturday night-out went to cheat day after eating drumstick/thigh chicken rice box plus my dessert pure ko-yo @ Bonchon Araneta then when we got at Eastwood my friend crave for Subway tuna sandwich ofcourse had it too:))

(laughed at my friend's pouch cos, she had a lotssss of lipstick on it, what to choose? #MAC, #AVON, #MARKKAY)

(with my friend, my bestfriend, who went to Manila from Pampanga just to have date wiv me, @JemLim28 but, we also spend the night with Polly Nacpil and his OLFU friends :)

(Missed this thing, which we usually do even before, saturday night-out, party, eastwood and everything finally, its sembreak! Once in awhile i got to do it again)

(There's a fire in the bar! this was @ Candyshop, to be honest I didn't enjoyed the place. it was so hot plus this place was for teenager's because everyone was so young! I know I'm still a teen I'm just 19 but, i think that place doesn't really suits me and my personality. I had fun with my company thou.

photos were grabbed from my instagram account: @kateeyp

"Taken 2" Movie Screening X Kojie.san and Nuffnang

Sorry for the late blog post.. This was last October 5, 2012, 9o'clock pm @ Cinema 1, Shang Cineplex, Shangri-La Mall, Mandaluyong City.

I'm so Happy when i saw this!! Plus when i got a text message and email from thei of nuffnang, actually this was my first winning giveaway from Nuffnang and Kojie.san men plus i really wanted to watch "Taken 2" so I replied to thei immediately that I'll be coming to confirm my RSVP.

(this was at Cinema 1, were registration starts from 8:00 to 8:59pm, i was kinda worried that day thought I can't make it cos, i have to attend my school first from 10am to 6:30pm then after school i need to fetch my cousin at MRT Monumento Station because she haven't went to my place at Quezon City even before plus the traffic at Edsa-Cubao glad we arrive 8:25pm at Shangri-la Mall)

(Thanks for the giveaway Kojie.san men)

(In this photo: Ms. Lauryn M. Uy, the kojie.san men model, John Spainhour, with the Nuffnang bloggers)

(me with my plus, movie date, my cousin, @pepssymiclat)

(this was during the game before the movie screening, pick-up line question "Lalaki ka ba" they asked for 10 men volunteers but, unluckily only one brave men went down so they choose randomly from the registration list which we somehow entertained by their pick-up lines.)

Note: NOT TO FORGET TO BRING CAMERA FOR BETTER QUALITY OF DOCUMENTATION AND REMEMBRANCE FROM UNFORGETTABLE EVENTS.

I was about to blog about the "Taken 2" movie screening last October 5, 2012 @ Cinema 1, Shang Cineplex, Shangri-La Mall but, unluckily my cousin failed to msg me the pictures we took yesterday. btw Thanks to @Nuffnang and #Kojie.san for the ticket(s) i got and to Thei as well, nice meeting you! :')


There's really no place like home <3 p="p">

Going back, went back from Manila to Pampanga this morning with my best bud, best friend and my cousin @pepssymiclat, bought my niece and my little sister presents first before heading home because, I've really missed them!! A LOT thou :)) I was like 2 weeks not going home..

Mashed Potato

 

How to make mashed potato?

 

What You Need

Ingredients
2 teaspoons salt
1 large Yukon Gold potato per person (about 1/2 to 3/4 pound apiece)
1 tablespoon butter, or more as desired
1/2 cup milk or cream, or more as needed
1 ounce cream cheese (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper

Tools
3-quart pot (or larger)
Wooden spoon
Fork

 

 

Peel the potatoes. Cut them in half, then in quarters, lengthwise. Then cut the quarters into thin strips. You can chop them finer, if you feel like it; the finer they are, going into the water, the easier they will be to mash later. Slip the potatoes into the boiling water and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are falling-apart tender.

When the potatoes are quite soft, drain them completely and return them to the pan over medium heat. Add the butter and cook for a few minutes over medium heat (I used Vanilla flavor butter in mine but, its up to you what to use to make the pan non sticky :))

Just cook, stir, and smash....

 

When any remaining water has evaporated, and the potatoes are quite smashed up and smooth, Pour the milk in slowly, stirring constantly. Keep stirring and cooking until the potatoes are quite hot, creamy, and smooth.

 

Taaaaadddaaaaaannn! This was my first time to cook mashed potato but, my sister told me it taste good. Sorrry for the low quality of photos (used Xperia x10i)

Happy Eating!

 

“Preserving Mankind with Kojie.san Men”

“How can one preserve the concept of manliness in this modern age of liberal views and cultural influences?”

What would really a girl like me tell about a man's view? If in fact, we have different views. I know most of the girls out there are concious of how they appear to everyone they met but, itsn't just girls need to be pleasant. Who would like to meet someone who don't have proper grooming? Ofcourse It must be a "Turn On" to a girl to meet a guy with a pleasing personality but nowadays it's not just the personality but, as well as the hygiene and looks count.

There's a saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" but, admit it we dont really do that instead we easily judge people how they exactly look because, as we know, how they present themselves to us shows who they are.

Let's preserve manliness in this modern age and help those who have poor hygiene to recommend them use Kojie.san.

Visit and Like the Facebook page of Kojie.San Men’s Club (http://www.facebook.com/KojiesanMensClub) to know more about their advocacy to “Preserve Mankind”.

 

Crêpes

  I've seen Pepper.ph Recipe of  "French Crêpes" and because I'm dying to know how to cook it. I've made one this morning, so here's its recipe;

 

Classic French Crêpes

makes 6

 

1 cup milk
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 whole eggs
pinch of salt
butter, for cooking

1. Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl until smooth. Rest for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat. Melt 1 teaspoon of butter, and pour crêpe batter into the hot pan (about 1/3 cup).
3. Brown on one side, about 2 minutes. Cook on the other side for 1 minute. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

 

 

for a change because Im out of stock with nutella in my fridge, I just put confiture de fraises (strawberry jam) or any spread you want and added Maple syrup in it just for a dressing.

Happy Eating!

Food.. food.. food, who doesn't love to eat btw?

So, Who's the Blogger of the Month?

Congrats to Erwan Heusaff! Let's Dig-in his Blog! 

The fat kid inside

 I started cooking at the very young age of 8, the little annoying kid seated firmly at the kitchen counter awaiting for scraps to come my way and diligently watching the cooks do their thing. I then started experimenting with different recipes I would hear people talking about or trying to recreate food that I’ve tasted in the past. I understood early, that food would become a passion of mine. As I grew up I understood the business side of things more and found that for me the whole concept of a food offer interested me more than actual being in the kitchen, which is why I decided to pursue international business in college, in France, and not the culinary arts, but I never lost sight of my love for food. This love quickly turned into hatred as I expanded into a heavy 240 pounds. - Source

Now i know why he named his blog "the fat kid inside" but, guess who wouldn't get fat of being obsess with foods? and who wouldn't say they love eating? of course, all of us have favorite food whether it is something sweet an appetizer, main course or desserts.

I love experimenting that's why i'm studying MT likewise in cooking as well. I wanna learn more in kitchen as they say "a way to man's heart is through his stomach" We all started cooking from frying egg either scrambled or sunny side-up, tell me who doesn't know how to cook it. Your so pathetic :))

But, even though you can't resist eating you must also watch and choose the right food on what you eat. You might not want to be big in a sec. twas so easy to gain weight in eating but, it wasn't that fast to lose everything you eat in a day. So happy to found out Erwann's blog aside from it there are also healthy foods for those who are body conscious.

Happy Eating! :)

Our Princess

(Cake by: Ethel's desserts)

Time Flies how'd you think My Sister's baby shower and My Mom's Birthday (double celebration, July 28, 2012) just passed by..

August 6, 2012

Baby Danica Lauryn at her crib from Mommy Lola

Stuffs from her Daddy

Danica Lauryn, 17 day old..

The reason why i got homesick every time I'm at Manila for week days.. She's my first Niece from my sister and the first grand child of our parents. That's why who wouldn't think she'll not be spoiled to us. Our little Princess, she's so Adorable!!

“I can exceed my limitations!”

What's really my goal? To be physically fit actually to be skinny, as hot as, those Super Models out there. Because I know someday I might as well be one of them. But, Don't just dream in a way! Make it happen.

I already tried the so called "DIET" with no rice, oatmeal diet, soup diet, pills and whatsoever but, Did you know what i really stick with and makes me go for it each day? The proper diet! by, exercise. I have already went to gym did RPM, treadmill and Sauna actually it turned as my daily routine.

As each day passed by your body will be looking for it because, you'll gonna feel you missed something and that won't complete your day. I feel, i can exceed my limitations starting from 30minutes RPM with the trainer up to adding more minutes each day and when you get into it after that 45minutes work-out your body wants more that's why after my RPM session I'm also dealing with the treadmill. :)) Also engaged with some Funrun..

(Photo from my previous blog post)

One of my favorite sports athlete is Lebron James, bet your shocked and curious.

(Credits for the photo)

Who wouldn't be proud of him? I'm actually one of his billion fans out there. His Legacy in basketball perhaps his one of the best all-around player and blessed to be gifted with it. he really did exceed his limits by earning his first NBA championship and getting the MVP along the way. lastly he secured the gold medal for team USA in the recently held 2012 Olympic Games in London.

But, can you exceed your limitations if your exposed to dirt, germs/ virus? of course, NO! Safeguard Active won’t let bad hygiene distract you from exceeding your athletic limitations and in beating your personal best!

Have you ever dared to exceed your athletic limitations? Have you ever imagined beating a guy who ran against a plane? Beat a 3-time UAAP champion?

Last June 5, 2012, hundreds of runners took the challenge of attempting to #BeatCoachRio’s time of 2.3 seconds in a 20-meter dash, with a twist! Runners competed against a virtual Coach Rio flashed on a LED billboard screen. After so many attempts, only the top 5 with the best time got the rare chance to finally run against the real Coach Rio Dela Cuz, in the flesh!

The #BeatCoachRio event was made possible by Safeguard Active with 12-Hour Odor Protection. Safeguard Active won’t let bad hygiene distract you from exceeding your athletic limitations and in beating your personal best!
