I was off from work last Tuesday, so I got to taste another set of my daddy's specialties. :D My dad would always ask us what we want him to cook and he would always grant our requests. He actually loves asking my sister Gia because she really tells what she wants haha! :p

And so here are what we had for lunch. :)


It's been awhile since we got to taste my dad's pork sisig. Gia was also craving for it so this was what came first to her mind when my dad asked her what she wanted for lunch. My daddy's sisig is really good! I actually got another serving of rice because of the sisig haha!

We've been raving about Max's Sizzling Tofu, so this was our second request to my dad. :) My dad just asked us to describe how the dish tasted, and in no time, he already had his version of sizzling tofu.

And our verict? My dad's sizzling tofu was very much like Max's, with the look, taste, and all, my dad's was even better I must say! You're the best, daddy!

I usually wear my nails short without nail polish. I wear nail polish every once in a while, but I only use light shades like nude, pearl, or platinum.

But I think I can never really resist anything that is pink! :p I saw this in my mom's nail polish box last night and I found myself applying it on my nails in no time.

Chic Classics Nail Color - Neon Fuchsia

Here's what my nails looked after applying 3 coats of the nail polish. :)


I applied a single coat of the Caronia colorless nail polish for an added shine.

Caronia Nailpolish - Colorless Regular

I am so lovin' my pink nails! ♥♥♥

I just hope I can wear my pink nails for at least a day or two. Nail polishes don't really last long on my nails because I tend to remove my nail polish, even if I've just applied it, once I notice some scratches. And yes, I'm a brat that way haha! :p

Today marks the 400th year of my (and my parents') Alma Mater. The week long celebration started last Saturday, January 22, with an alumni homecoming for each college organized by the Alumni. There were also different events like parades and fairs over the week, yesterday was the UST Quadricentennial Countdown, and today is the Quadricentennial Thanksgiving Mass and Grand Alumni Homecoming.


My parents and I, who are all from the UST College of Engineering, attended the UST@400 Eng'gahling (Engineering Grand Alumni Homecoming).

Mom and I, Proud Tomasinos!

Too bad I wasn't able to come to the rest of the events. :( I was stuck at home last night because of headache and clogged nose and I wasn't able to attend the UST Quadricentennial Countdown, so I just settled for live video streaming.

All the students and alumni seemed to be enjoying the event. There were bands and different performances. My favorite part was when the UST Hymn was sung and of course, everyone's much awaited part was the fireworks display.

The UST hymn and the pyromusical gave me goosebumps! They were just so beautiful! Here's a video of the UST Quadricentennial Countdown fireworks display. :)

I also love the UST Quadricentennial Song. I just feel so proud to be a Tomasino!

Happy 400 years UST! 400 years of Unending Grace!

Viva Santo Tomas!!!

Grilled Stuffed Squid

We've had a lot of fried food over the past holidays and weekends so we decided to have grilled food for a change. I wanted grilled pork, I believe my mom wanted grilled fish, while Gia wanted grilled squid. And since my dad is the type who would always give us what we want, he granted all of our cravings! :D

So here are what we had for lunch last Sunday. Watch out for the recipes, I will be posting them soon! :)
