Food: Pancit & Pasta ala Maria Experimental Version

Hi there! It's been a while, i terribly miss blogging! So many drafts i haven't finished and so many stories i wanted to add. Yay! I guess i'll have a hard time to recall the past happenings and sort out pictures to have my blog up to date. waaaah -___-


Anyway, I cant seem to remember the last food recipe post I had, probably ages ago. muhaha! So for now here's two of my experimental easy-peasy foodies that you may want to try.

Here's how:


  1. Boil water for noodles and veggies. (separately) 
  2. In a pan, saute garlic, onion and beef strips. 
  3. Let it simmer then add oyster sauce. (I forgot to include it in the ingredients list above)
  4. Add salt and pepper as desired.
  5. Serve and enjoy!

Taaaaaadaaaa! My very own version of Pancit Kenten. 
(The noodles actually looked like spaghetti pasta isn't it? haha!)

_________________________________________________________

Few weeks ago, i was craving for something good to eat or just anything that will satisfy my hungry tummy. I wanted something like carbonara or a creamy pasta but there's no ingredients for that so i came up with this kind of whatever pasta. Actually, the idea came from the "garlic and oil pasta sauce" I found when I searched over the web. Then, i made my own version of whatever ingredients that are available.
Here's how:

  1. Cook pasta. Drain. Set aside.
  2. In a pan, saute garlic and onion.
  3. Mix in all the ingredients.
  4. Add salt and pepper as desired.
  5. Serve and enjoy!

Easy right? Happy cooking!

#366DayswithMaria: February

32/366 🌻 #writefulthought 

Hello Love month! The time of the year where everyone becomes (super) extra sweet and romantic to their lovedones and/or special someone. Where there are heart designs everywhere, fancy gifts and lovely bouquets that are in demand. Yeah of course its really wonderful but kinda ridiculous at the same time coz when you truly-madly-deeply love someone, you show it always and make them feel loved in any way you can every second of everyday, and not just occasionally. ✌ ayt? ktnxbye 😁

She has always been thankful to him. For not only standing next to her but also for choosing to stay all throughout the highs and lows of her rollercoaster life. 💖👫

Maybe sometimes, we only take notice of what our eyes cannot avoid to look at, when it obviously needed dire attention coz its quite fascinating or somewhat disturbing. We only become aware of those that either bothers us or we care about the most. The rest, we can just ignore. That easy..

Sometimes, some people are a lot more colder than a scoop of ice cream. 🍨


36/366 🌻 #writefulthought 


The space in between isn't always empty, sometimes its occupied.



37/366 🌻 #writefulthought


The bestest feeling ever is when youre happy because you made someone happy.


38/366 🌻 #writefulthought 

Maybe, we all wished so hard for that moment to come - where we dont have to walk or travel alone. Where someone will want to hold our hand in every journey and who wont ever let go - who'll always hold on tight no matter how steep or bumpy the roads are along the way.

Its quite a wonder why some coffee are tasteless..until we find the sugar lying at the bottom of the cup. Surprising eh? 🙊

Same as when we get drown in too much pain we tend to become numb and (almost) fail to notice the sweetness beneath everything around us. ☕

Life can be visibly unfair but it is always sweet, sometimes, just not stirred.

If you can have that chance to go BACK and start over, what would you dare to choose? 💭
Will you ENTER the same paths and repeat everything until you get it all perfectly right or would you rather consider to SHIFT in a different direction and create a new path instead? 🙉

Eitherway, it's risky. And I guess all we need is a firm choice over matters in order to continue having progress.

Life as it seems. People will hold you until the time has come for them to finally choose to let go. And unfortunately, you cant do anything about it. No matter how much you wanted to hold on tight to someone/something, you just can't. Most especially when they are already loosening their grip on you.


42/366 🌻 #writefulthought


Words left unsaid are sometimes, better written..and hidden. 📝


43/366 🌻 #writefulthought 


Coz sometimes, it is necessary to smile. 💖



44/366 🌻 #writefulthought 


Because maybe, every girl deserves to be a significant flower in someone's garden.



45/366 🌻 #writefulthought 

Coz sometimes, its not just about the occasion, but most importantly, the sweet precious memories it holds. 💖



46/366 🌻 #writefulthought 

To love is to be vulnerable. To let them be happy all the time, to wish them well, to refrain from expecting anything in return and to set them free if needed to. Love happens when there is intimacy, understanding, contentment and acceptance despite the flaws and differences of one another. 💖

To love is to let the people we love to be themselves and not to twist or change them to fit the image we want to see in them. 💖

To love is to accept the other person just the way they are and the way they are not. True, you don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not and with that imperfections, it makes the love more stronger and the relationship worthwhile.

👫 "I knew it like destiny, and at the same time, i knew it as a choice." 💖





 48/366 🌻 #writefulthought 


Being happy without a reason is far more better than being happy because of certain reasons that can be taken away from you..anytime.

49/366 🌻 #writefulthought 

A happy day starts with a happy breakfast.

50/366 🌻 #writefulthought 


Coz in the billion people around the world, to have one by your side is more than enough.


51/366 🌻 #writefulthought



Stand a chance.


52/366 🌻 #writefulthought 


Coz everyone has a baggage and sometimes all we ever needed is someone to help us carry it and maybe eventually, help us unpack the unnecessary loads.

53/366 🌻 #writefulthought 


Coz sometimes, you cant instantly get something you want. You have to be practical and think wisely if its really worth to have or just an impulsive attack. Considering that you need to work hard and compromise..or maybe even wait until the universe conspire to let you have it. 🙌 💜💖 💜💖💜💖💜🙌


54/366 🌻 #writefulthought 

Sometimes, you cant always have more of a thing when it's obviously less than what you expect and deserve to have. 👀

Strive to gain more but its always best to stay content and be thankful with whatever's presently available. It may appear less but it can possibly be all that life can offer to give, at the moment.



55/366 🌻 #writefulthought 

Once in a while, feeling Meh is better than caring too much always. Some people won't really mind.


56/366 🌻 #writefulthought 

Its the simple things that matters the most. Its the effort and the thought along with it that deeply touches a heart forever.




57/366 🌻 #writefulthought


Strike a pose. Smile. Continue to fight life's challenges and have the good force be with you always.

Aja aja hwaiting!

58/366 🌻 #writefulthought 

Coz maybe, you're in love when you can't explain how you feel. Its completely indescribable.

And you're out of love when you have all the unjustified reasons why you don't anymore.


59/366 🌻 #writefulthought 


That is one brave thing two people can do - to love unconditionally and fully accept each other the way they are and not the way they can't be. To know their limits and conquer it with true love.


60/366 🌻 #writefulthought 

Loving someone is giving a piece of yourself even when they didn't ask for it. It is being together in good times and most especially during the bad times. It is being honest, faithful, always telling the truth and never pretending. Love doesn't have to be selfish - it is to have the freedom to pursue your own plans and desires in life while sharing your experiences and growing together with the other person. Love doesn't turn you into a lesser person rather it naturally brings out the best in you.
