When I saw this photo online, I suddenly remembered the movie of John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo. I can't clearly recall, but if I am not mistaken, the title of that movie is "Miss You Like Crazy". Actually, I wasn't able to watch it on a big screen, I was just able to watch it through a DVD. In that movie, Bea was using stones to write down her messages to herself and to the world.  I find it cute! :)

Now, looking at this photo, I realized that there are so many ways to treat these stones with the inscripted messages. From the movie, Bea used to leave the stones in public places after having written down her messages on it, but I was thinking that these stones could also be nice and attractive decorative pieces in your garden, in your living room or even in your kitchen. You can stick it to one part of the wall in your pocket garden, or you can make a lovely center piece by attaching the stones on a plain card board or a piece of plywood. Just add some embellishments and you're all set for a wonderful work of art. You can also stick it to a cork board and frame it to remind you of your thoughts and feelings.  It would be nice if you could date those stones too.

 Here is another example of recreating those stones:

 I might be including this on my "to do list" this summer and I will make it as a family activity.  Anyway, I'm all set for my home leave next month and I'm just so excited about it! :)

Ciao!

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…
