small contribution...

Global warming causes our temperature to go up everyday...and it is really alarming...it is a threat to our lives, a big one!

As homemakers, let us do our small share on how we can "at least" lessen this problem. Here are a few tips i got from the newspaper...

  • Live Green
  • Be picky with your appliances
  • Check your refrigerator regularly; defrost and test cold air leaks by closing the door on a sheet of paper and pulling it along the gasket to find any leak.
  • Avoid disposables like plastic citlery that comes with take-out food
  • Use a sponge instead of kitchen paper towels
  • Fix leaky faucets
  • Serve vegetarian meals once a week
  • Drink shade-grown coffee which is pesticide and chemical free beans
  • Bring you own bag when doing your groceries, avoid plastic bags

tongyang...o tongyang

yesterday we ate at tongyang (me and my friends). it's been a while since the last i ate here. it's always great to eat here lalo na 'pag hindi ka makapagdecide kung ano gusto mo kainin. enjoy na sa pagluto while nagkukuwentuhan...super busog ka pa!
hala! lamon! pano ba naman eat all you can di ba.
di bale na ang calories! isang araw lang naman e. hehe
ang sarap ng gindara at blue marlin (favorite ko pareho).
nilagyan ko ng barbeque sauce and teriyaki sauce before i fried it sa butter.
nagustuhan ng friends ko ang timpla.
yum talaga!
