Im on peanut butter sandwich

I love vacations and food and the long trips and the white sand beaches.

But when I got home, to my surprise my pants got too tight,I have trouble using them.

So I have decided to lose some fat belly and do a protein diet regimen and it starts today.

And I mean it.

Went for work early and bought I pack of sliced bread and 2 kilos bananas.

These will be my snack today and my lunch and dinner tonight.

I really mean it.

I so love this peanut butter brand.

So love the peanut butter scent and the smell of freshly baked bread.

I hope I can endure the menu for today.

My new fruit love.
There are lots of benefits we can get from eating bananas
I hope you can also try this diet..

Reading List for the Month of September

I love books and theres no moth that goes by that I cant buy books. I say books, because at one time I can buy more than two or more books. Im a book addict but not a reading addict but addict in buying. I think I have not finished a single book since july. Wow. That means I have a lot of books that I still have to read. The book that I started reading last May is not even half way through. Each time I re read time and again, I almost always go back to page one just to review the pages I read a few months ago.

 

Book number 1: Get off your knees and pray

Still not finished with Get off Your knees and pray, I m reading this book by Joel Rosenberg, also a very nice book, but still the same I read it over and over again. Back from square one, confusing it with get off your knees and Pray.

Book number 2: Invested Life

And the Third book, well Im being confident that hopefully for the month of september I will be able to red three books.
The latest book that I bought.

Book number 3: The Love Shack

Three books for the month of september sounds impossible for me. 

Fingers crossed.

I hope so.

Yes Its Passion Fruit

I so love this fruit: passion fruit

 Its been years that I was not able to eat this fruit. I remember the good old elementary years, sa mababang paaralan nag kanluran, used to eat this with salt while on my way home with neighbors. Cant wait to go home and eat it like the good old days.

Have you tried this kind of fruit?

Mother would scrape the fruit seeds mix with orange juice or other juices which really gives a unique flavor that I cant seem to describe. Its sour with the distinct passion fruit flavor just like no other. I found several passion fruit recipes on the net, like cakes and other stuff and Im excited to try if given the time.:)

Here are mouth watering passion fruit goodies:

passion fruit cake

passion fruit cup cakes

passion fruit icecream

No jollibee chicken joy?

I'm one of the many jollibee lovers. I love everything about jollibee. The first on my list, chicken joy, palabok, burger steak, french fries and the shanghai roll, jolly hotdog, the breakfast treats and a whole lot more.

Last week end, I went to Iligan and craved for Jollibee chicken joy and was so excited to have that snack of jolly spaghetti and one piece chicken. But to my surprise, the food attendant politely said they have no chicken. What? May I beg your pardon? No chicken joy? I ended up with a glass of soda and spaghetti. Even when I got home, cagayan de oro, my home away from my real home Cebu, still no chicken joy.

so sad...where is my jollibee chicken joy?

I craved for this.....

I got the chance and talked to one of the food attendants, he said that it has something to do with the chicken supply from their supplier nationwide. A price increase of chicken. I even heard no chicken at mang inasal.
