Opa! (Gangnam Style) at Cyma

Haha! Sorry for the corny title. Roy and I just couldn't help saying "Gangnam Style" after the servers in Cyma deliver their signature "woooOpah!" each time they serve a flaming dish. So anyway, for our 46th wedding monthsary, we chose to eat at Cyma Shangri-la Plaza branch. We didn't take photos nor checked in through our phones because we just wanted to eat and it was a great experience because we weren't so attached to updating the whole world about it. Roy was even in his pambahay. haha! Kaya pala walang photos no? lol. Here's what we had:

CHICKEN AND SEAFOOD YIOUVETSI
Roka Salata is my favorite and there was even one time when we ate at Cyma Shang and we just ordered that salad. It makes me happy. hihi. Do you get that feeling with a salad? People usually get it from pastries, sweets or salty junk but for me I get that kilig factor from this heavenly salad. The soury sweet sundried tomatoes, the candied walnuts, the crisp lettuce, bitter-y arugula and the dressing. Hay grabe, naglalaway ako ngayon. haha!

Then we ordered something new called Paidakia. After that meal, I was officially NOT a fan of lamb. Perhaps other restaurants could give justice to it or other customers like it but not me. It felt like eating gum, meat flavor. The rice-stuffed grilled bell pepper that came with it was yummy though.

We're set to just order two dishes because the Paidakia was kinda pricey. But due to my disappointment, we resorted to something familiar and what we knew was good, the Chicken and Seafood Yiouvetsi. It tastes like Marinara with several twists here and there. Basta, masarap s'ya. I asked for extra lemon slices for that added contrast.

And just to try something new, we ordered soup. It's a very comforting soup. Makes you feel warm and fuzzy. :)

So that's it! Happy 46th to us!

How I Lost 30 pounds: My Spartan Transformation Experience

Image
My primary reason for enrolling in the Spartan Transformation Program was business but then I realized, who am I kidding? Wouldn't it be great to bring back the "glory days" when I could wear nice-fitting clothes and have the energy of a college student? I also thought that it would be exciting to conceive again with a healthier body so the next step was to get me that package. Initial Doubts 1. We didn't have the extra money for the package. 2. Will this work for ME?? The Kristine who loves to eat sweets and refined carbs + drink Kopiko with them each time?  No one really saves up for weight loss. Aminin, we always have that thinking that somehow, we can get away with leading an unhealthy lifestyle AND somehow lose weight when the time is right. So we work hard, "reward" ourselves with what we earn on unhealthy habits then when sickness happens, we use our hard-earned money to get better, only to return to our old ways. So for me, it was mo...

Mommy Mondays: Roseola aka Tigdas Hangin

Image
Here's more of a public service post. lol.  I realized that I should be sharing more mommy posts for future reference and of course to add value to fellow mommies out there. And what could be more fitting than to label it with "Mommy Mondays?" Nagpapaka-creative! For today, allow me to share my first encounter with Roseola or Tigdas Hangin . Last Wednesday, Isay had fever. As you may know, fever in itself is not an illness, it's a sign that our body is fighting some form of infection. So, Amymy (our kasambahay) thought that it's because of Isay's pagngingipin. We started to worry when the fever lasted for another 2 days na walang ubo or sipon (dito kami sanay e, hehe.) Isay was still very playful although she lost her appetite and was extra clingy. On the fourth day, wala nang lagnat then rashes started to appear on Isay's face then to her arms and back. As of press time, meron na rin sa hita. Yesterday, we took her to Medical City and she was diagn...

Mommy Mondays: German Measles

Image
Motherhood isn't just about measles, you know. But hey, here I am with my second Mommy Mondays post talking about measles. Again. It was very challenging to supposedly be "running" a household and be sick at the same time. Our household is pretty much on auto-pilot mode so I have to thank Roy and Amymy (our yaya since October 26, 2010) for that. Back to my german measles. I think we got the virus at the FEU hospital when Momsy was confined last May 30. We pertaining to me and my ate who had it days before me. A run-through of events: May 30 - June 2: Momsy's confinement ergo, pagod, puyat and stress = mababang resistensya . June 3 - June 6 in the afternoon: Life goes on June 6 late afternoon: I started feeling the chills. My chest felt heavy and I just wanted to go home. June 7 - June 10: on and off fever, joint pains I was still able to accompany my mom for her check up last June 10 then I spoke with my sister over the phone and she told me to watch out for a...
