Ordinary People

Just want to share music video of John Legend's "Ordinary People". First heard this when Markki Stroem performed in Pilipinas Got Talent as his semifinal piece and loved it eversince :)

Here's the video:



ORDINARY PEOPLE

[Verse 1]

Girl im in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue everyday

[Bridge]

I know i misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

[Verse 2]

This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss and we make up on the way

[Bridge]

I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I Still want you to stay

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

[Verse 3]

Take it slow
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave,
maybe you'll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won't survive
But maybe we'll grow
We never know baby youuuu and I

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Heyyy)
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

Spanish Sardine Pasta

Just want to share my own version of Spanish Sardine Pasta. I've first tasted it from Fleur de Lys Restaurant located at Tomas Morato when my bestfried Jos invited me for dinner. At first, I was hesitant to try it because for me, sardines and pasta didn't match together but then Jos convinced me to give it a try because it was very good "daw" according to her. And yes, she was right! That lead me to cook my own version here at home so that family members could try and they love it too!

Ingredients are: linguine pasta (spaghetti noodles can do), spanish sardines, tomato, capers, onions, garlic, olive oil and salt & pepper to taste. Top it with Parmesan cheese and pair it with your favorite garlic bread.

Try this and enjoy!

Update on my "anakis"

Matteo is doing okay already. He cough once in a while and has a slight cold but still very active and so "madaldal". His appetite went down a bit but now, he finished a bowl of rice with mashed potatoes and carrots and a little bit of sauce from the menudo dish for dinner and after that, ate 3 pieces of "monay" bread with skin off.

We have a schedule pedia appointment tomorrow for his flu vaccine but I doubt if Dr. Avendano will give him his shot because of his condition. I'm thinking of postponing the visit and will go on Aug. 17 instead; well I guess, he'll be perfectly okay come Tuesday.

I will post some pictures of Matteo's recent drawings when I figure out what to do with my expired Bluesoleil program installed from my my laptop (pictures and video's taken from my phone cam).

My "anakis" is sick again :(

Matteo is sick once again, bad case of cough. As of this writing, his temperature is 37 degrees (I will give him paracetamol as soon as it reaches 38.5 degrees).

He's coughing so hard and has the tendency to throw-up. He is kind of irritated with the phlegm sticking to his throat; he does not know still how to spit it out. He had a hard time sleeping because he kept on coughing and coughing. I put a generous amount of Vicks Vaporub on his chest and back and eventually, went on to sleep.

Since yesterday, he is taking Ascof Lagundi syrup for his medication and I let him drink lots of fluids, water in particular.

His appetite is there and very active still but I hope he gets better soon:(

Dinner time with Louie and Jos

Last July 29, we had dinner at Mann Hann, Trinoma with my bestfriends Jos and Louie. Matteo is always tagged-along everytime I meetup with them. It has been a weekly tradition for us to see each other, to have dinner and some chit-chat so we could catch-up with what's happening to our lives.

This particular dinner I will never forget because it was like a feast! We were only 4 but we ordered for like 7-10 persons hehehehe...we had yang chow friend rice, spicy squid, spicy spareribs, beef with brocolli flower, hacao, fried noodles, green spinach soup and lotus fried tofu. The food were very delicious. I like everything but the lotus tofu was my favorite. Matteo had fried noodles and soup of course which he loves since he's into noodles and soups lately.

Here are some pics:








(Thanks Jos for the pics!:))

After that sumptuous dinner, we went straight to Starbucks to have some frappucino and blueberry cheesecake.

Thanks for that good night guys, sa uulitin! Love you both!

Tribo Escapade At Anilao

Last weekend, Tribo Palaboy went on a weekend getaway at Anilao, Batangas and stayed at the Bartolome's residence.

I will never forget this trip because its tribo's first time to have gourmet food as meals. Yes I said gourmet because of Tito Amor no less, who was our "chef" during the said trip. He prepared sinigang na baboy, grilled tahong and tilapia for lunch. Then we had sashimi, roasted pork and marinated octupus (can't remember what its called but it taste so good!) for dinner and my favorite of all, okonomiyaki, a Japanese pancake for breakfast. We were so full every mealtime because the food were so yummy and delicious. And the best part was when Tito Amor taught us how to make sashimi and okonomiyaki :)

Here are some pictures of the trip:

Thanks to Jen and Dane for the pics; love you both!

We did snorkling, the boys played jenga and had a couple of beers; Matteo enjoyed throwing stones to the water and playing jenga by himself; we all had fun! And also, it was a very relaxing trip for all of us I must say; away from the busy, polluted and stressful city life.

See you on August 20, Anilao! We can't wait hehehe...

The LDS Blog Train

I am so happy with the August's LDS Blog Train collaboration named "A Name and A Blessing". Its all about newborn babies and baptism; in time for my next photobook project. I hope I can finish with the birthday photobook so I can start with the baptismal one.

Here are examples of kits you will get from the beautiful collaboration:





Thank you very much to all the designers who participated; so generous of you to share your kits with all of us :)
