Jakie and the Beadstalk

Here are five things I liked in Hongkong (aside from Disneyland and Ocean Park): 1. The clean streets and the strip of designer shops along Tsim Tsa Tsui 2. The dog litter box (I don't know what it's called) 3. The fresh fruits that are very cheap. The strawberries were around P180 per kilo. The blush pears were around P100 per kilo. 4. The weather! It's not so hot and humid. When we went there around March, there was still fog. Imagine Tagaytay weather.  5. Its Cultural Centre which is walking distance from the Space Museum and Art Museum

Whenever my family travels, as the "supermom" as my kid calls me, I have to make sure that the essentials are packed and there's a provision in case something goes wrong.  So when we booked our trip to Baler, I had to make sure that the essentials have been taken care of. Small falls before we reached the Mother Falls 1. Bus reservations Since it was going to be a looong weekend, I made sure that we had reserved tickets to Baler via Genesis Transit. A good friend, Atty. G, suggested that we book through iwantseats.com.ph. But since the seats were already full for all the  trips from April 26-28, I stumbled upon pinoytravel.com.ph which also offers online booking. I immediately booked and within the required number of hours to pay, deposited our payment through PNB. But my reservation was cancelled and I was mad and I couldn't contact them blah blah blah (long story) in short, I had to get another set of tickets this time, directly at the Genesis Bus Terminal...

It's Day 5 and I am itching for this to end. hahahahah!! My food: Breakfast: Yummy! Except for the chorizo taste because I hate chorizo. I had to take out the chorizo pieces from the omeletter before eating. Why is the apple bruised again? Natagtag sa biyahe? Lunch was chicken sausage stew with sauteed cabbage and bits of bacon. One word: Sarap!!! Sayang walang kanin. Hahahah! And I am so happy that they used breast part of the chicken. Dinner was Pork strips and crisped tofu with adobong gulay. Again, Yummy!!!! I love day 5! :) 

After heartbreaking lunch  I got yesterday, I tried to eat my dinner, kasi sayang. But when I got home at 7, the zucchini pasta already smelled off. According to hubby, it still tasted ok, but I decided against eating it. The meatball puttanesca was yummy. I could tasted some fat from the ground pork, so I had to spit these fatty bits out (which is really a problem for me when I eat spaghetti bolognese, burgers, lumpiang shanghai - or those with ground pork because I can taste it and I can't just swallow it). But it was generally good. Today's menu is:

Here's my food for today :) It's day three and ever meal is a struggle. This is not because the portions are little, but because I am a picky eater. It's a real challenge for me to try to eat what's on the table sans any other choice. Add to that is there is no rice. I am happy with 1/2 cup of rice every meal, but no rice at all can be quite depressing. hahahah!

It's my second day with Yummy Diet and tatataraaaaaa...

I am forever struggling with excess baggage a.k.a. fats, and tried a 5-day meal subscription online. The food serving was so " little " it made me cranky the whole day. My friends ordered theirs and they consumed their food allowance for the entire day before lunch. photo source This time, my sister so generously subscribed me to a 3-week diet from Yummy Die t. It's a Low Carb High Protein plan.
