I have tons of things to do for now, I’ll be back in a while. Hubby will be reformatting his laptop. I have to finish a review about e track, then I have to back up all my files that I have stored in the drive C:/, so I’ll be back in a few hours to talk about more foodies.

What’s so special with this ice cream bar anyway? It feels like the same for me. I find the taste very common. Sorry for sounding like I’m boastful in here, but it really is very common. The old time “Snickers” Ice Cream Cone is even much tastier. I guess it’s just expensive and very known because of it’s endorsers.

When I was still young and still have the energy, I used to play volleyball. Hubby said that he used to watch motor cycle shows on TV. He loves the adventure and the excitement while watching such events. Aside from the entertainment that he’s getting, he loves looking over those motorcycle exhaust. I don’t have any idea why men loves cars and everything that comes with it. I guess, same with us women who loves fashion and shopping, they also have their own thing – which is sports car and racing.

When we were in Qatar, he and his friends are watching live car racings. I’m happy that he’s involved with this sports. As long as he’s happy and not into smoking or even worse betrayal, it’s all fine with me. That’s all I’m praying for, to have a faithful husband. So girls, if you’re other half are into sports, let it be Smile

But we’re planning to give a gift to relative of theirs which will be a mom to be. I remember when it was my turn to wear maternity clothes. All my tops still fit, except my pants. I need to buy a special pants that will not be tight on my hips and belly.

   

I left them all though in Syria. We’re planning to have a baby again, but not now. We’re hoping to have a baby boy. We’ll try to get pregnant once we’re ready and fully settled. Insha Allah, God willing. For now, we’ll just be god mothers to their babies.

White sand and lots of bikinis everywhere. We took our day out to eat lunch there. The heat is so exhausting. We have our own hut, so it’s really cool for us to sit down and relax for some time there. There were umbrellas for sale since sun bathing now a days are in demand. I for one is not fond of the sun. But these two birds below I think are having fun walking in the soft sand.

And I like the privacy there as well. I have added a few close friends of mine and we’re sharing our photos almost every day. Well, the reason why I mentioned Instagram is because my friend’s daughter is about to celebrate her 1st birthday celebration. And she posted a dozens of cake designs that looks so delicious, that you’ll think you will not even cut a piece from it. So I decided to look over cake designs too. My daughter loves to watch movies. And her first set of DVD’s are of course from “Barney and Friends”. Those are on top of our dvd cabinet. I wish I can place them lower our youngest are in the stage of eating up everything that she touches, so to avoid having scratches on the CDs, might as well set them aside.

Look at these cute musical theme cakes. I like the one on the right. I guess, the one on the left will be for me and Hubby. Hahaha! Well, November is still far. So we still have (I hope) enough time to plan for her birthday.

Just fry the chicken with oil and 3tbspn of soy sauce. You can lessen the soy sauce as you want. I didn’t sprinkle the chicken with salt. Because I’m looking forward for the good sweet taste of the soy sauce from the chicken itself. I had to pour 5tbspn of soy sauce though for this version. I got this recipe from a friend’s mom during an over night stay at their house when we were still in high school. We were 5 kids at their house. So tita Joy had to cook as many chicken as possible. Once the food is serve, oh my god! Make sure that everyone will be sleeping quietly.

Anyway, will be posting some foods for tomorrow again. There’s a lot of back posting that I need to catch up. For the mean time, have a good week everyone.

Two weeks ago, we went to Dubai supposedly to go the park. But SIL’s husband became ill on the way so we decided to went home. Hubby then passed by a Philippine Supermarket. We can’t help ourselves to go down and check what’s in store. SIL and her husband let me chose some of the things that I missed most.

- Ding Dong Mixed Nuts
- Nagaraya Adobo Cracker Nuts
- Dried Mangoes
- Sweet Sampaloc
- Choc Nut

Nagayara and the dried mangoes are SIL’s choices while the rest were mine.

I also found a pack of Chicken Tocino and Beef Longanisa for 12.50dhs each. I had to buy a pack for each. SIL said that I can cook it if she’ll cook a meal which includes yogurt. I don’t eat yogurt unfortunately. What a spoiled brat I am right? Hahaha! Anyway, hubby saved the location on the GPS so that we can pass by there once again.
