Life In A Snapshot

It’s past midnight and I should be in bed now because it’s weekend! The only few days that I should enjoy going to bed early. But how can I sleep when we just had a sweet fix? Ace brought me a junior size Red Ribbon chocolate mousse cake and a 1.5 liter Coke! The occasion? Nothing! Thirdie turned two months today so I texted Ace to drop by at the mall after their Christmas Party to buy our baby a cake. The moment he received my text, he is actually at Red Ribbon to buy me a cake so he just bought a cake for me and I am just sharing it to Thirdie. Hence, we had sugar overload that is keeping me awake. Good thing I am not on a weight loss diet, or else diet’s ruined!

While resizing the photo of the cake I posted below, I was drooling so I got a bowl of Koko Krunch to munch on to satisfy my craving for that sweet thing but it doesn’t serve its purpose. I want to eat that cake badly! If that cake is mine, I would eat it as if there’s no tomorrow for it not only looks yummy but it is delicious that it can really ruin one’s diet! Oh, speaking of diet, I need to slow down because my pants are all tight that I cannot wear them anymore or else, I would end up with one of the diet pills in the market if I need to trim down fast so I could fit in my pants again because it is such a pain to say goodbye to my beloved pants that’s been of service for years to me. Anyway, gotta eat lunch so I would stop thinking about that cake that I wanted to eat.

We were at Ate Janet’s (our wedding godmother) birthday party the other night. As expected, we didn’t let this event pass without taking lots of photos and here’s one of them….Ate Janet’s elegant birthday cake! It’s simply beautiful that I forgot to ask her who made it.

I know it is too early to crave for this but I am really craving for Pizza. It’s been weeks since our last food trip and we’re not going on a food trip until I can withdraw my earnings because our shopping allowance and food trip budget wwas diverted to purchase our eyeglasses. Now I am excited for Friday to come so I can withdraw my blogging earnings and we’d be able to treat our tummies with some resto food.

If I can’t have sweets that would satisfy my cravings, can I have stuffed shrimps? I am really drooling over this food and I kept on thinking when could I have a bite of this? It’s more than a week since we dine at our fave Dim Sum resto and now I can’t wait for another couple of days. If only I know how to prepare stuffed shrimp, I would cook everytime I crave for this. Maybe I need to imagine more on how this is prepared so I could get it right.

Sweets! Sweets! I am craving for sweets at this hour and I wanted to have this dessert platter from Pizza Hut. I should be in bed in 2 hours but I don’t think that could happen because I am right here in front of the PC trying to finish some tasks because I am running out of time. Gosh I really don’t know if I can finish everything. How I wish I could stop the clock from running so I could still have enough time to do my online tasks that is due in 10 hours.

I was looking for a nice and colorful subject where I could try our new external flash last week and I found these colorful candies Che2x brought from Trento when she had her short vacation there at Carol’s place. The Jolly Rancher candies was sent from the US by a friend of Carol’s. It looks like a kid’s candy but I love it for it doesn’t hurt my palete not like the local candies we have here.

I skipped joining Ace with his movie marathon as I have so many things to do online because I badly need money.*LoL*. Anyway, after spending hours in front of the PC, I’ve got an eye strain. I was looking for my eyeglasses but I think I have misplaced it since we moved. So I lay down for a while but ended up in dreamland for about 30 minutes. Ace didn’t bother to wake me up and cooked lunch instead. We had “ginisang sardinas” as he was craving for it since this morning. We have meat in the freezer and veggies from the market but he opted for the canned fish. He ate so much, so he might really be craving for sardines.*grin*. He might have missed processed foods because we seldom had it here since we moved as we usually have meat, fish and veggies in our table. 

TThis chocolate fudge of Fort Cafe tastes so good. Wish I know how to bake so I can have a cake anytime I want to satisfy my sweet tooth.

One of the skills that I would like to learn…fruit carving. I know this isn’t easy as I have seen only HRM students can do it or those who are trained to do so. My sister, Che2x doesn’t even know or have not tried doing it. It should be included in one of their subjects in Hotel and Restaurant Management. But then she wanted to learn on her own and asked me to buy her a carving knife which is more expensive than the ordinary knife we use in the kitchen. 

By the way, this photo is taken at the reception in hubby’s sister’s wedding the other month. I was eyeing for this so I could bring it home and look at it closely how it was carved but somebody was luckier than me. I wonder if anybody would dare eating this carved watermelon fruit or just display it.
