Pressure

0 comments Posted by myleen at 1:09 AM

a had a week off supposedly dedicated to my IELTS review. however, it turned out i wasn't able to review anyway. sigh. ang hirap mag-review at home! there are so many things to do at lagi akong inaasar ni ate bel. oh well, patience myleen, patience.

i will report back to work on Sunday and i know it'll be a blast comeback. as i check my emails remotely, dami nang utos ng mga professors eh. hindi pa man. hehe. hopefully, despite the many activities lined up, i can still catch up with the review. especially now that the thing that has been bugging me for days has been answered. thank God for forums! hehe.

Drama Queen Strikes Again

0 comments Posted by myleen at 7:36 AM

emote na naman ako kagabi. wala lang. it really tears my heart that the one thing most that i really, really want eh hindi ko makuha. ito yung nasa harapan mo na, within your reach ika nga, and yet hindi mo makuha because it is supposed to be given. and when i say, it tears my heart, i mean it literally because the pain was actually making it's way to me physically. ganun lang talaga ako kapag hurt. tamang bopis na dina-diced yung puso. oh well...

for the past months, i have tried so hard not to expect. sabi kasi, if you don't expect, you won't get hurt. but then, last night while i was browsing the net, i got reminded of my one great dream na hinding-hindi ko makuha at ayaw rin namang ibigay. it really breaks my heart dahil hindi ko talaga maintindihan ang rason. i have a clue na pinagtatakpan kong tanggapin na iyon ang reason dahil nasasaktan ako just thinking about it. anyway, it all ended up with me crying myself to sleep... ang drama ko. bakit ba, eh drama queen nga ako. kung gusto mong maging drama king/queen, eh di mag-blog ka rin. hehe. joke lang huh. lemme talk my mind and heart out lang paminsan-minsan. to continue...

it has always been like that. if i wanted something for myself, yung tipong gustong-gusto ko talaga, i need to get it for myself. material or non-material things alike. well, for the material things, merong pangilang-ngilang naibibigay dahil i gave them a hunch. hmm... ano-ano nga ba yun...
  • the pink Kaypee shoes from my dad. back in elementary pa ito. the Kaypee ad really got me hooked and i finally got this when we went to Cubao after watching Holiday On Ice.
  • the cute doll from my friend Eli. it was like i-pity-you kind of gift. hehe. as a consolation that i was loveless at that time and it's nearly Christmas, my friend bought me this doll as a gift kasi for sure wala raw akong mare-receive na regalo that time. friend talaga noh?! hehe.
  • the blue checkered blouse with hood that i asked from my tatay nung mga time that i resigned from work and i don't have the money to buy it. i saw it displayed in SM and it was love-at-first kind of wanting. i actually asked from my mom but she refused to give me money. my second option was to ask from my dad and i was never wrong. =)
  • the cinderella pants that i asked as a christmas gift from my kuya na alam kong hinding-hindi ako mahihirapan to ask from him. he is so mabait talaga at ang daling utuin. hehe, peace kuya. kaya naman nagpapa-uto rin ako when he asked for a treat.

hmmm.. yun lang. hehe. sa mga kusang ibinigay naman, well material things nga sila, not that i really wanted them pero i have been treasuring these gifts because of the act that they were given as a surprise gift. wala lang, i love surprises kasi. hehe. hmmm... ano-ano nga ba rin yun..

  • my monthly yakult from my kuya boboy. his pasalubong sa akin tuwing sumusweldo siya. saka para lumakas daw ako. hehe. lampayatot kasi ako dati.
  • the swatch watch that was my sister's birthday gift to me. it was green in color with a some musical notes and a piano. cute. i still have this at our house in the phils eventhough it's not working anymore. still in its original casing pa huh.
  • the keyboards from my kuya's. they know that i really like to play the keyboard kasi kaya i practically grew up with all sorts of keyboard sizes. ang kulang na lang eh yung grand electone organ. hehe. which if i really wanted to have now, eh i have to buy it for myself na. =)
  • birthday cards from my lolo. not actually surprises but he's the only one who doesn't forget to send me a birthday card. well, ngayon wala na because he passed away already. i occassionally get birthday cards from a couple of friends after that but not as consistent as my lolo's yearly, "i remember you and wish you had a happy birthday"-thought.
  • the jewelries from my ate at kuya na sadly, all were snatched away by some strangers. hay. street life in the philippines.
  • the apple ornament from my bestfriend Aye. my bestfriend that never fails me sa lahat ng aking paglalambing. i miss this mokong. san ka na??!! paramdam ka huy!!
  • birthday gifts from my ex's, hehe. you know who you are. *winks*

as i was saying, apart from all these lahat ng ginusto ko i need to get it for myself na. i guess, kailangan kong isaksak sa kukote ko yun. ang hirap actually. especially because i know i deserve the best, o kahit man lang better pa dun eh. in short, i know i am bound to get hurt over and over and over again until i found the BEST that i deserve.

Chicken Cordon Bleu

0 comments Posted by myleen at 9:06 AM

this was my second experiment and it was a hit! i don't have photos to prove it but my hubby can attest that it was a success. though he rarely eats left-overs, this one kahit left-over na, he ate pa rin with gusto. hmm. masarap talaga ang luto ko, that's why. hihi. hindi sila nalason. =)

ingredients:

6 pieces chicken breasts
cheddar cheese slices
bacon or ham
bread crumbs
butter
olive oil
chicken bouillon cube
water
whipping cream
cornflour


procedure:

1. cut the chicken breasts in half and nicely put the cheese and bacon/ham inside.
2. coat with breadcrumbs and secure with a toothpick.
3. fry the coated chicken breasts in a mixture of butter and olive oil. mixture siya dapat kasi kung pure butter, madaling masunog. you wouldn't want a sauce na lasang sunog, right?
4. when the two sides are browned already, put the water with chicken bouillon cube and let the chicken simmer for 30 minutes. ang purpose nito ay para maluto yung insides nung chicken.
5. when you think the chicken's fully cooked inside and out, take the toothpick out and arrange the chicken in a serving platter.
6. whip the cornflour into the cream and then put in the skillet where you had the water/sauce left from the simmer.
7. simmer again while stirring until the sauce thickens.
8. when done, spread to the chicken breasts. ang sauce ang magdadala sa cordon bleu.

happy eating! =)
