Tinapay's Kitchen: Easy Bihon for less than 200!

Image
One of the easiest dishes you could whip up in the kitchen is bihon! You could basically make it any way you want, add whatever ingredients you fancy and in a few minutes, your food is ready to serve! Here's a sure way to satiate your hunger without ever thinking if you got the taste right, because it would always taste great, all because of this ingredient: mackerel in can! Ingredients: 3-4 cloves of chopped garlic half of white onion, chopped 2 small cans of mackerel (Whatever brand but I am partial to Saba) precut mixed vegetables (You can get this from SM: carrots, cabbage, sayote, etc. I get a handful of that, or you could add more if you wish) 2 blocks of bihon (I used Golden Bihon, the regular pack they have. They usually have 4 blocks inside and I only get to use 2 for this recipe) 1/4 ground pork (Or you could use beef) Steps: Cook the ground pork until brown. Add your garlic and white onion. When the onion is a bit translucent,

Day Trading!

I've been into stock market for some years but only this year have I finally decided to actively trade. Don't get me wrong I love my bluechips (I have two that I've got majority of money on and are left on it's own) but now I wanted to test myself in earning via day trading. I was inspired by my officemates mostly, although I don't talk to them or anyone for that matter on what I'm currently doing. I see this as a challenge if I could earn a bit more than just doing long term. Rules I live by: + In choosing companies + I am at my core classify myself as an investor. This is why my initial picks when I started are those companies I believe would have the most potential to grow as the years go by. Going by this, my risk factor is not really high. Whenever I pick a company to trade for my experiments I am still careful in which I actually buy and I actively avoid companies that have a reputation of being too attractive to players with so much cas

I have extremely gone overboard with this purchase but does it really live up to the hype all of the countless videos I have watched? Here's what I've experienced so far. So What's in the box? Phone itself Type C Cable and Charger Adapter for non type C earphones Earphones with Type C cable Sim Card poke thing (no idea the proper name for that)  Phone Case (Some videos don't have this so I was a bit worried. Thankfully the one I got have one) Manual Also, the phone comes with two plastics on screen, first is the the sticker you really remove and the other one you can leave off for use. I didn't realize this at first, only after I was sold a different case and screen protector. I should have checked what's in the box before I agreed in the additional purchase. First things first The most painful thing whenever you change phones is redownloading all apps you used to have and saying goodbye with the messages and calls yo

Sa Wakas (05.26.2018)

When I heard that this would be the last run of the musical based on Sugarfree's songs, I thought it would be nice to support a local production. We were able to get the 2nd to the last day of the show on an most opportune day (Sat). Too bad Ebe didn't show up  (we were expecting him on the last shows but oh well). Sa Wakas revolved on the love life of Topper and recalls the story of the two women he fell in love with, Lexi and Gabbie that unfortunately was an overlap. He recalls the important events, how they met, the beautiful moments in between and how it have become sour. The audience are tossed in varying situations that more or less we have experienced alike sometime in our lives. They didn't set us up for outrageous meetups which I truly like. No one dances that stupid rain song in real life you know. Although the story is simple, I liked the portrayal of scenes. On the top of my head I was impressed with the phone call where both girls were talkin

Thank you Sense 8!

I have just finished the Finale. It was an amazing episode, all the cast were there (LIKE ALL!!), their loved ones are there, everything that would we imagine to happen on a 2hr 31mins finale was there. I was happy the entire episode albeit there are times that I was scared and shocked but over all the closure we've hoped for was wonderfully delivered by the Wachowskis. I started crying when the credits rolled in and how we were acknowledged with big white letters: FOR THE FANS.  It was a roller coaster of a ride with Sense 8. I remembered stumbling on finishing the first episode. But after I powered through it I started to be amazed at the universe of Sense 8. It was refreshing and one of a kind. It's a series I could not compare with anything else and I kicked myself multiple times why I haven't seen it much sooner. Everything about it works. The chemistry of the actors, the amazing shots and how they were able to pull it off, having all 8 being in different

Devious Maids

I've spent hours in Netflix for the past few weeks and I feel like I've been neglecting my Iflix subscription lately. After Family Guy expired I would like to check titles that I don't see in Netflix. I would love to get back to watching Once Upon A Time but I don't feel like diving into another long one. So I momentarily stopped watching Money Heist in favor of another light hearted comedy ala The Good Place and tried Devious Maids. The first episode like everything else made the distinction of the characters which to love and hate. Eventually I ended up loving the characters I didn't much like before. By the end of the series, I find myself already missing a part of me that I would never have anymore: watching Evelyn and Adrian Powell together again. Another why-do-they-have-to-cancel-this-show moment. Devious Maids has Desperate Housewives feels only with maids and lead by Latina actresses. I haven't finished DH but I remembered it going a bit dark
