PATCHI EASTER CHOCOLATE

The owner of our flat who's working in Patchi came home the other day with this Easter Chocolate and he gave us two pieces each.

The Lord came to earth

with a life to give,

so each one of us

may continue to live.

Happy Easter!

 

LITTLE GIRL IN PINK SWIM WEAR

We were just starting the opening of the event with the torch ligthing and i was ready to capture a photo of one of our members holding the torch coming near us when this little girl walk towards the sea.

My share for Pink Fridays for the first time and of course my Saturday Pink Meme...Pink Saturday.





 

PINK HEART SHAPED COFFEE MUG

It's winter time here...though it is not really that much cold here and yet it is best to wear winter clothes (not so thick) esp. at night or early morning.

At this time i wanted a pink bonnet or a handmade hat such like that of Cozy Home Scenes Giveaway. I've got sweater and pink jackets and its best to have a pink bonnet as well.

It's Pink Saturday again at Beverly's How Sweet the Sound and i've got my share today which is a pink heart shaped coffee mug. Got this as a Christmas gift from a friend who knows very well that i'm a pink lover.

PINK TEA SETS

 

I saw this tea sets at Centerpoint just the other day when i was trying to look for an exchange gift for our Christmas Party. With its beautiful pinky colors i imediately took a photo of it and i thought of sharing it here.

  

Few days more and it's Christmas, i miss home and i miss my family during this season but there's no way to spend it with them. So i am planning of sending them a video of our photos with this song as the background music. I hope that by this they could feel that we are were just near.....celebrating Christmas with them.

LITTLE GIRL IN PINK

Waaaa...I'm already late for this post...blame it for not having an internet connection at home since yesterday morning and can't do it at work also coz it was holiday here since Thursday.

Anyway, thanks for the reminder of our hostess Beverly. So here's my share for yesterdays Pink Saturday Meme.

We have attended a birthday party of our friend here in Dubai and i saw her niece for the first time. She is a very pretty little girl who at first was a bit shy but later she came and joined us.

My friend and the little cute girl

Here's another photo with her with all my friends...hey i'm also wearing pink.

And since our theme for yesterday was a Holiday Recipe let me share you what Filipino's usually have during this festivities esp during Christmas Eve....a Filipino Pork Barbeque Recipe.

Pork Barbeque Recipe


Estimated preparation: 20 minutes
Marinating: 30 minutes to 3 hours
Barbecue: 10 to 15 minutes each

Pork Barbeque Ingredients:

1 kg. pork
20 bamboo skewers
1 cup soy sauce
1 head garlic, minced
1 onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup of calamansi juice or lemon juice
1/2 cup of 7up, sprite or beer (optional)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons of brown or white sugar
1/2 cup of banana or tomato catsup

Barbeque Cooking Instructions:

• Cut pork meat into thin and long slices - 1/4 inches thick and less than 2 inches wide.
• In a mixing bowl, marinate the cut pork with the soy sauce, minced garlic, chopped onions, calamansi juice, ground pepper, sugar, banana catsup and the soda or beer (this tenderizes and adds flavour to the pork barbeque)
• Mix well and keep in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (turning occasionally).
• Prepare the bamboo skewers by removing splinters and soaking in water to reduce burning during barbeque.
• String the pork on the skewers.
• Over live charcoals, barbeque the pork on skewers until each barbeque is cooked - turning every few minutes on each side and basting the leftover marinate on the barbeque.

NO TO MILK AND DAIRIES

For years now, i've been suffering with this sudden allergic reaction on something i don't know yet...either because of the food i eat or any allergen. Recently i was advise by the doctor not to eat crabs, lobster, shrimps and strawberry... and yet i still have this rashes from time to time which i don't know the causes. And then the other day, when i arrived at work i had my breakfast of corn flakes with fresh milk. An hour after taking breakfast i had this usuall itchy feelings on some parts of my body which i thought that maybe it was because of the food i ate....the milk?

Maybe i have a milk allergy...and when i tried to search about it some of the symptoms i am experiencing is also related to milk allergy. I haven't consulted a doctor yet but somehow i am sure that it is one of the cause for my allergies. Milk allergy is a food allergy and an adverse immune reaction to one or more of the protein's in cow's milk and/or the milk of other animals—proteins that are normally harmless to the non-allergic individual. With that i tried to avoid drinking milk and eating any dairy products like cheese, butter, youghurt and even ice cream.

So now i would miss my all time favorite ice cream flavor from Baskin Robbins...Cookies and Cream with almonds and chocolate toppings.

PINK GOWN

I went to Art Tower along Mina Road last week to take the tickets of our crew when i saw this pink gown at the nearby building. I don't know...it's not that i need to post anything pink everyday Saturday that's why i took this photo but because i've been dreaming to have one like this though i don't really know where i'm going to use it.

LASONG ROSAS

Lasong Rosas is the Filipino translation of Pink Ribbon.  When we say pink ribbon, it is actually an international symbol for breast cancer awareness and used to express support for those who are diagnosed with Breast Cancer.

Each October hundreds of people raise money by organizing activities such as Pink Walkaton here in Dubai.

And now that October is about to end, let me refresh everyone about the history of Pink Ribbon.

It says that ....

In the fall of 1991, the Susan G. Komen Foundation handed out pink ribbons to participants in its New York City race for breast cancer survivors. The next year, Alexandra Penney, who was the editor-in-chief of Self, a woman health magazine, was working on the second annual National Breast Cancer Awareness Month issue. Evelyn Lauder, who was the senior corporate vice president at Estée Lauder, was invited to be the guest editor of the NBCAM issue edition in 1992. Penney and Lauder came up with the idea to create a ribbon and to enlist the cosmetics giant to distribute it in stores in New York City.

Charlotte Hayley, who battled breast cancer, produced peach color ribbons. She sold them with a card saying, "The National Cancer Institute annual budget is 1.8 billion US Dollars, and only 5 percent goes for cancer prevention. Help us wake up our legislators and America by wearing this ribbon". Her message spread fast. This made Penny and Evelyn Lauder interested in Hayley's concept. They offered to adapt Hayley's idea by working with her. But Hayley rejected the offer, saying that they were too commercial.

After discussing opportunities with Lauder, Hayley and their lawyers, they came up with a "new" color. The new color of the ribbon was pink and became an international symbol for breast cancer awareness. Source: (http://en.wikipedia.org/)

PINK PLEDGE TREE

Pink Pledge Tree is still a part of Safe and Sound Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign located at New Burjuman Mall. Anyone who wanted to dedicate a pink ribbon to someone whom they know was affected by Breast Cancer or simply wanted to pledge support for breast cancer awareness and join hundreds of other people in this powerful message can buy this ribbon at 5 AED.

Then all proceeds from this Pink Pledge Tree will go towards providing mammograms test, patient care and further awareness.
