Pandesal Made In The U.S.A.



Pandesal is one of my favorite bread to eat every morning back home. I still remember the moment when my land lady wake me up early in the morning and asked me to buy a 12 pieces of pandesal. Pandesal is a type of bread that you would never get bored to eat. I am wondering what type of ingredients they mixed with it to make it taste so good. Some people say that pandesal made by a simple ingredients, and it doesn't have any artificial flavor.

Meanwhile, my friend and I always discussing about different Filipino foods that we miss in oour country, and pandesal is always included in our topic especially when she calls me early in the morning. One day Lilian was saying that she wanted to try making pandesal in american version. Well, as a friend I told her why not and if she made it perfectly it might be her call to make it a business. Yesterday she called me and informed me about her new discovery (lol) she was very excited to tell me that her husband made a pandesal and she want me to taste it. So, I told my husband to drove me to her house. When I get into Lilian's house, it smell so familiar to me, and can't wait to try one. So, after tasting process I congratulate her because she did a good job.

Top Earners for The Day

I was guesing that I would be included for the TOP EARNERS for the day. So after I submitted my opps that I recently grabbed from PPP, I saw my picture included on the list. What a wonderful feeling seeing your face for the first time on PPP list. I never expect to be there because I know that my blog doesn’t have a PR. Means I have a very slim chances to grab big opps in PPP. Maintaining my RR on top is just my hope to grab few bucks in PPP, but it doesn’t mean that you can get as big as the PR holder does. Anyhow, I am very happy for this result. Thanks to God for this wonderful opportunity

Big Bucks In PPP

Today is my lucky day, you know why? I was just sitting all day watching the live result on Olympic game with my husband. I am happy about the successful result of the American team. Watching the game give me a tense feeling, but the most intense feeling that I have right now is having the opportunity to grab a $100 for 50 words. Can you believe it? My heart beat so fast, I feel like I was running the 100 meter track and field. I am so thankful for having this rare opportunity. This is breaking record on my blogging history. Thanks PPP.

I really enjoy to watch Josh performance tonight. It's really amazed me every step he made. He can handle his move perfectly no matter what music it is. Josh is not a professional dancer, but his dedication on his passion push him into the top where he at right now. He deserve to be crown as the winner on this competition. I am not really an avid viewer on this program, but when I saw Josh performance on the audition..boy I really said "I really like this guy", and I am going to watch him every week. So, here I am praying and hoping that he will be able to win this competition. Josh and Katee Shean is my favorite, so I hope that America will like and vote them just like I did. Good Luck Josh and Katee :).

Blessing

Tomorrow will be the day that I wont be able to be here updating my page. Monday, is my schedule to report at work. As usual I am not going to visit some of my co-blogger’s site to drop my EC or leave them a message. I always miss this job, but I love my other job of course. It is wonderful feeling if you have two job that support your personal necessity, and I am very thankful for having it both. I consider myself that I am bless since it is difficult to find a job here in the United Sates. Opportunity is not always open for you, if you are new immigrant on this country. Your career experience have a slim chances to be accepted here, no matter what it is. You still starts at the beginning, and how much more if you doesn’t have any experience at all? Hmmmm very difficult. Employment is the first thing you have to deal with here. Therefore, I embrace what I have, love what I do,and enjoy it.

Barbeque For Lunch

I take a break for an hour to make our lunch for today. I already gathered my ingredients yesterday, marinated the pork, preparing vegetable, and more. I started to set a fire after I made my first opps today, I thoughts it takes a lot of time to me since I use charcoal, but its not. The meat cooked very quick since it was marinated with venigar. I read the article one time that venigar helps to make the meat soft. So, you dont need to overcook the meat. In fact it also add more taste on it, and the result of my barbique is perfect. Its not overcook, very juicy, and tender. Kaya sarap to the bones:)

Digging Money Underground

Real TV series is one of my favorite to watch, This is a non scripted show that is monitor 24 hours a day, Everything they do was caught on camera on live. Cable connection provide viewers lots of actuality show, one of this is “Black Gold” this is the reality TV series about the Texas oil-rig Workers. This series shows the process of digging down the ground to reach the area where the oil is found. I can feel how difficult it is working on this type of job, it requires a lot of patient, very exhausted, time consuming, and risky. When it comes safety matter, workers doesn’t have enough protected gear to protect themselves from accident aside helmet. Small mistake on this operation creates disaster to all, and can be deadly as at the same time. When the system is down, you can feel the tension around the filled, each member should work together in order to make this project done with in 30 days.

This million dollars business equipped by a high tech tools. Workers we’re depend on the quality of the equipments. The pressure is on if there’s something wrong on the pipe that connects underground. The computer monitor if the pipes connects perfectly, if not it stop. If this scenario occurs, workers needs to pull all the pipes at the bottom and change the defect one. Pulling all the pipes at the bottom is risky, exhausted, and time consuming because they need remove hundreds of pipes, underground, just imagine they dig up to hundreds of miles from the ground.

Searching oil requires a lot of effort, but if they made it successfully, workers can enjoy the fruitful of their effort. Money is easy on this job, every member can earn thousands of dollars with in 30 days of hard work.

Mind Freak

Last month I made the Criss Angel post, today I was watching TV and navigating through channel 54, his show was play on this channel just for today. It is very seldom to watch his show in any cable channel, so I take this chances to watch his “Mind Freak” magic. He perform various types of magic from the very simple up to the freakiest one which definitely unbelievable. He use some celebrity as an audience on his magic, and of course all of them have the same thing to say, ‘Freak!” His one of a kind magician, he even blow Oprah’s mind, during his presentation in Oprah’s show. That’s the first time I saw Criss Angel’s performance. Its totally awesome!The King of Magic!

Furniture Hunting

It is very sad to know when Marissa has finally made her decision to move in Virginia States. Although were not have so much time to know each other, I can feel deep inside that she’s one of a kind person. I met Marissa through my friend Lilian, she introduced me to her when Lilian bought me to her house for get together. She’s a very strong woman, intelligent, and lots of ideas. I know that there’s more good qualities to discover on her, but were not able to get to know each other since we’re both busy in our daily responsibilities.

Marissa was selling her house since last year, she has been waiting for a year to sell her house. Fortunately, she finally found one interested buyer from Houston, I can feel how excited she was when these couple visited their house, and gave her a down payment.

Meanwhile, Marissa starts selling her furniture, appliances, and ornaments since her house is on the market. Majority of them sold in a very low price, and guess what you never regret if you bough it because all of them are in good condition. No wonder if Lilian and I got few left inside her house (lol).

I bought her coffee table and two side table, lamps, and two dragon jar. There’s some more that I wanted to buy, Lilian and I planning to go back this coming weekend to continue hunting some interesting stuff inside her house.
