ARE YOU NUTS?

This is one of my favorite nuts. Pistachio...

The pistachio, Pistacia vera in the Anacardiaceae family, is a small tree originally from Greater Iran (Iran and Iraq^[1][2]) which now can also be found in regions of Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Greece, Tunisia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, India, Pakistan,Egypt, Italy (Sicily), Uzbekistan, Afghanistan (especially in the provinces of Samangan and Badghis), and the United States, specifically in California. The tree produces an important culinary nut. (from wikipedia)

I like pistachio as a flavor of my ice cream or gellato. But the best part of it, is to eat it by itself. My friend in high school brought two plastics of pistachio last Sat and i cant hide my excitement to eat all of the nuts, But i shared some of it to my other classmates. okey i tried not to give them but since it is not from me i had no choice but to share. and yes it much yummier when you share food together with your real friends. 

"Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es." [Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are].

 We want to have a healthy lifestyle, but what are the things that we do to make our life healthy. Yes it is easy to said than done. BUT having a healthy lifestyle is not a rocket science that need a special formula to achieve. This start with acceptance and know where to you are. Accepting the fact that you are not healthy can motivate a person that he need to do something not for anybody but for his self.  To know your health status is very important to determine your goal. There are lots and thousand program, diet plans, exercise machine to mention the few that is available to us. But we don't need a all of that we should only do the things that we need. Observing your self is one way of knowing you health status. Take time to listen to your breath, observe your body (when your walking, running or even when your doing your daily routine). This is very important because you will know where to start.


One way to start a healthy lifestyle to monitor your eating habit. When we were young our teacher in elementary thought us the basic food groups. we all know the Go, Glow and Grow, This 3G's is very basic and as part of our curriculum we know it by heart and its true most of us doesn't have a balance meal, For me it is not enough to eat  3x a day we should be aware of what we are eating, it is not the quantity but a quality,this meal can go along way. This topic is very broad and endless. My point is being healthy is not a one day process it is a lifetime advocacy, So do something and start eating QUALITY FOOD NOW!!!

Now do you believe in my title? "Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es." [Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are].

Summer is just around the corner

I know some people like me loves going to the beach. And even it is just start of the year they are so excited for the coming summer vacation. At alam naman nating lahat na pag nasa beach this is the perfect time and opportunity to bare and show some skin. But showing skin is not an easy thing to do. if your an ordinary person your self esteem should be high enough to flaunt your body. There's nothing wrong in wearing skimpy swimsuit for as long as your comfortable. As a beach person i believe that wearing this kind of clothes gives you social responsibility. a lot of us is guilty when it comes that. people says "who cares?" ,"maumay na ang mauumay", "deadma". Yan ang hirap sa ating mga Filipino minsan wala tayong pakealam sa iba. but try to think of it, yes you go to the beach to enjoy, so why not make the most of it.



My point here is for us to be ready and prepare, i remember when i first go to boracay few years back. naging conscious ako the way i look and naging aware ako on how the pictures come out, so nag effort ako ng very light to be fit and have my boracay body. You dont need to have a 6packs but achievable yan, dapat lng you have to feel good para mas enjoy ang vacation. and that also the start of having healthy lifestyle.
Since start of the year na, marami sa atin ang excited to hit the sun. Take this opportunity to start owning your beach body. hindi naman kailangan ng membership sa mamahaling gym at fitness trainer, We can do it at the comfort of your home.

Simply lng ang formula to succeed. Enough Rest,Eat right, Exercise and  Drink a lot of WATER. hindi naman mahirap to diba, so this coming summer i hope we can bump into each other and show your hard earn body.

MY TOP FIVE TRAVEL DESTINATION FOR 2013

For this year since limited ang budget ko, I want to be realistic when it comes to my goal. Sabi nga nila ung achievable lang muna. Madaming mga magagandang lugar dito sa Pilipinas at hindi tayo mauubusan ng mga pag pipilian. I decided to make my list to show that kaya naman pala mag bakasyon on a limited budget.So sana mag karoon ako ng mga follower na sasama sa akin the whole year to see na naganap ang mga pinag susulat ko dito.

On number five possition is Corrigedor Island.

I choose Corrigedor kasi malaki ang potential ng place sa tingin ko isa to sa mga under rated na tourist destination sa ating bansa. Minsan kasi especially when I watch TV and meron mga foreigner na sinasuggest lagi is Boracay. Im not against to that idea but I believe that Boracay already got international recognition and its time for us Filipino to market other tourist destination.My point is if other country can do much on their economy on tourism bakit hindi natin kayang gawin dito sa ating bansa. And to compare to other Asian country we have everything. And i would like to commend DOT (Department of Tourism) for doing such a great job for their program. Pero sana karirin na nating ng sobra ang tourism sayang kasi. Enough na muna sa mga lecture ko medyo lumalayo na ako sa topic.

Here are some pictures to show how fascinating the place is...




Here are the link on how to get there http://corregidorisland.com/gettingthere.html









TOP FOUR: Baguio

Yes, I want to visit Baguio to rediscover the place I know madami tayong napapanuod about the place and sure naman ako na madami pang tinatagong pwede puntahan at gawin sa lugar na to aside sa pamamasyal sa mga famous parks dito.













Here are the link on how to get there http://www.gobaguio.com/transportation.html#.UOeJM-STw2s

TOP THREE: LAIYA BEACHES (Batangas)

Nothing in particular place in Laiya kasi madami dung beach na pwedeng puntahan and magaganda at ang location is laging depende sa budget. Kung meron naman talagang budget sige lustayin natin yan. Medyo bias ako when it come to my Top 5 list kasi hindi naman halata na I| love going to the beach.







Here are the link on how to get there http://www.pjbacolod.com/2008/03/directions-to-laiya-san-juan-batangas.html

TOP TWO: MISIBIS BAY

Its nice to know na madami at parami ng parami ang mga pwedeng puntahan dito sa Pilipinas. Medyo mahal mag stay sa Misibis Bay pero pwedeng pag planuhan at achievable naman. Kung tight naman ang budget meron parin naman option to enjoy the bay na di masakit sa bulsa ang solution? Research. Do your homework kids! kung gusto mo talaga gawan ng paraan.

Dream Vacation

Lahat naman tayo meron dream vacation, most of us pa nga mga out of the country pa. Hindi nman masama ang mangarap, sabi nga nila libre lang ang mangarap so DREAM BIG. Sa panahon ngun sinasabi nila na mahirap ang buhay at ang pagkakaron ng dream vacation ay nanatiling  pangarap na lng. Pero naisip na rin  ba natin na sa panahon ngun is nothing is impossible? So your question now is how to make it happen. Ill give you pointer on how to achieve you dream vacation and i hope it will help you to make your dream possible.
First thing is to make a MISSION BOARD. ang mission board is a collage of picture ng dream vacation mo. your question now is how important to have a mission board and its connection for having your vacation come true. Simple lang this is to remind us on our goal, yes powerful ang imagination natin but still mas maganda and effective kung nakikita natin eto. its near reality and pagka visualize mo.

How to make a mission board, hindi eto mahirap kahit anong material or medium pwede. and pinakasimple and accessible to us is to cut out picture from magazines or old news papers ng place or ng dream vacation mo then paste it to a carton or grab pictures from the net and make it as your screen saver. madaming ways to create a mission board depende na sayo kung saan ka comportable.

After making your mission board, ilagay eto sa lugar kung saan lagi mong nakikita. like headboard ng bed. framed it, sa door ng closet, near the mirror and even sa CR pwede.

Second step is to make a RESEARCH ng place na gusto mong puntahan, madaling madali lang eto sa panahon ngun na pwede mong makuha ang impormasyon na kailangan mo sa net. Pero beware sa site dapat sa official website kayo ng lugar pumunta para sure tayo na tama ang mga information. Pwede mo rin gawing reference yong mga review ng mga tao na galing sa lugar nayon. Dyan papasok ang personal experience.

And when you know something to the place you want to visit, we can start planning your vacation. Base sa experience ko better talaga if na plan ng maayos ang trip. like dapat merong mga alternative plans lalo na kung mga big trip eto and consume time and effort. importante sa nag plaplano na decidido ka kung saan mo gustong pumunta. dapat isang destination lang para di ka maguluhan.

Ilan lang yan sa mga pointer that i can give to achieve your dream vacation. feel free to leave a comment or suggestion on how i can improve this blog. till next time!!! happy trip!

WHY ADOBO EXPERIENCE

Happy New Year!!!

Its the first day of the year and we as Filipino takes this opportunity to change. Sabi nga nila " lets welcome the new year with a BANG!" but siguro may Ok if we start it RIGHT. That is one of many reason to create this blog, I want to share LIFE. I want to show that we can enjoy life to the fullest in the simplest way.

This is a travel/food blog, these two things that I loved doing. Why named the blog "Adobo Experience" simple lang we Filipinos is identify with adobo. It show how simple ingredients can be magical and as a food lover and traveler, i can say this best describe me as a blogger.

And since New Year ngayon let me share some of my personal pics while enjoying life with friends.

Let start with Cebu. I travel with a good friend Kisha ( Virgin Island, Bantayan Island, Cebu)





We love the BEACH!!!

I used to work at call center and since toxic masyado ang environment so meron kaming mga biglaang out of town kahit walang masyadong budget itutuloy. Photos taken at Pansol Calamba , Laguna. Eto na ang ibang ganap.

Meron diin kaming mga out of town na we cant imagine na meron palang ganong lugar. Perfect example is ung trip namin sa Marinduque. it took us almost 12 hrs just to be there but all the hassle of travelling is paid of when you get there. And since I am with my friends travelling is more fun in the Philippines.

Dumating kami dun ng gabi na...

with April a good friend.

eksenang survivor ang ganap di ba...

At symepre meron din kaming mga ganap sa mga lugar na di mo imagine na pwede palang gawan ng eksena like this following photos in Herritage in Taguig. sounds familiar diba yes sementeryo yan. while driving kasi sa may Serrendra napadaan kami sa Libingan ng mga bayani at nkita namin ung mga puting cross so naisip namin na mag take ng picture sa loob at syempre di kami pinayagan ni manong guard. Ang ganap nauwi sa katabing sementeryo .

with Chances, Sugar,April and Aisa mababait yang mga yan.

At kung wala talagang budget. gawin sa clubhouse ng Condo tipid na masaya pa!

at kung may budget san pa ba pupunta edi sa BORACAY!

And when it comes to Food I will show you how to enjoy it. FOODNOGRAPHY!!! ill be reviewing food and minsan may cooking demo din since di naman all the time I can travel. here are some random FOODNOGRAPHY.

At syempre kahit saan basta may pagkain na dun kami...

breakfast?

coffee?

Kahit ano pa yan i will give you my thought and honest review, so take a journey with me... and lets have fun in the Phillippines
