My First Blogger Award


Hmmm...claiming the "Versatile Blogger Award" from Reese of "My Random Thoughts". My first award ever in the blogosphere!

I'm blogging for only less than a year and not so active if I may say. Well..that could be expected because I'm a full time working Mom! Though I regularly update this blog, I'm guilty of not being able to visit much blog sites. But, if I have enough time, I certainly do especially those sites that I like! Sometimes, it's quite hard to manage my time. Working full time, maintaining 2 blog sites, the other one being a "home blog", and attending to my personal needs and following up with the kids at home is not a joke! I only have few online friends but I'm hoping to gain more! Maybe...step by step.

Nonetheless, I am very grateful to those who frequent my blog site and one of them is Reese who was actually the one who handed this award to me. I appreciate her frequent visit to my site and her way of inter acting with me through her comments and simple message of "hello" daily. It really warms my heart!

Well...this sweet girl has a long way to go, I supposed! Her blog has already achieved a lot given the fact that she's very new in the blogosphere. Congratulations Reese and I personally thank you for recognizing me, as well.

Well...not to cut the chain, I am passing this award to some bloggers who had been influential to me and inspired me through their blogs:

To the authors of the following blogs:

Pinaywifespeaks
Mommy's Life Around
Timeless Confection
Acmomcee
Mumsified
Momsicle
The Modern Pinay Wife
Everyday Sweet Notes


Thanks to all of you for inspiring me!

Creamy Buttered Mixed Vegetables With Quail Eggs

Image
I wanted to try my hand at cooking this creamy buttered mixed vegetables with quail eggs, one of the dish cooked and served during my son's birthday. I got curious because my son told me that this was the first dish to finish from all the dishes served. I have seen this served on some parties that I have attended before but I wanted to try doing it myself.

This is very easy and can be done in very simple steps:

Ingredients :

1/2 Kilo Mixed Vegetables
1 Can Nestle Cream
2 Dozen Quail Eggs
1/4 kg Sweet Ham
Garlic Butter

Procedure:

Saute the mixed vegetables in garlic butter, add the sliced ham and quail eggs. Pour 1 can of nestle cream onto the fried mixed vegetables, stir for 5 mins and it's done.

Easy right? This dish doesn't cost much, easy to prepare, nutritious and delicious.

A winner! :)

SSS Flexi Funds For OFW's

Few months ago, I'd been contemplating with the idea of contributing to SSS Flexi Fund For OFW's. But the problem is...I haven't reactivated my contributions yet with SSS since I started working overseas. I'm planning to work on it when I go back to Philippines to take my vacation.
I came across this SSS Flexi Fund when I still have the Filipino channel here in my work place which is NBN 4 from which I always had the chance to watch "Bantay OCW" by Susan K. There is a segment there wherein the Chairman of SSS will be interviewed by Susan K to give updates on the latest projects and developments at SSS. This is where I first encountered about the SSS Flexi Fund for OFW's.
The way I look at it, it is an investment opportunity created by SSS for overseas Filipino contract workers to encourage them to save for the future. It is a provident fund and all accumulated amounts of contributions plus interests will be accrued solely to the OFW member. The funds po…

Reactivating My SSS Membership

One of the things in my bucket list for 2012 is to reactivate my SSS membership which I discontinued since I resigned from the last company that I've worked with in the Philippines.  I resigned 2nd quarter of 2007 and decided to try my luck as an OFW.  I did not intentionally want to discontinue my membership.  It's just that I was too busy and preoccupied at that time and this thing had slipped off my mind.  It was only late last year that I finally gained back my interest in reactivating my account with SSS but still, I was only able to start this year (lol).  Anyway, better late than never.   Since I belong to the maximum bracket of SSS contribution already from my previous employer and upon checking the contributions required for OFW's, I've seen that I just have to continue the same amount of my previous contribution  from my last company.  The only difference is that last time, my company pays for the other 50% of the monthly contribution.  Now, as an OFW, I will…
