    Kayne’s PF Chang Combo Fried Rice

      Today, #KusinaNiKayne presents my very own version of home-cooked, PF Chang’s Combo Fried Rice! … Ever since we tried this rice at PF Chang, we fall in love with it and wonder how to cooked it, so I googled and add my own improvement. You may also add beef strips if interested. A little Worcestershire sauce can add flavor and a little ginger too! Maybe a kick of spice will boost your appetite as well!   I have not added exact measurements of the ingredients. It is what I call, instinct.. hehehe “tancha-tancha lang”. Read on and maybe give a try! ^^ KAYNE’s PF Chang Combo Fired Rice version…

    Social Media 101 – Note to Self

    Photo credits from: http://www.seointl.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Internet-Marketing-Social-Media-101-Training-Dubai-UAE.jpg Social Media. . . Last night I watched ABNKKBSNPLAko (A Filipino movie with Jericho Rosales on it) and on one of the scene Echo who plays Roberto (Bob Ong) discussed with his bff Ulo (played by Vandolph) about people sharing their life on social media; “What they are, where they go, their wife, husband, kids, boyfriend, girlfriend, foods they eat, the places they travel etc. Is it a benchmark of a person’s happiness? Sometimes social media is being used to hide the real scene of a person’s life, even showing the world you are ok when in fact you are at a point of breaking down.…

    HAHAHAHSULA (HAHAHA-ang Hassle)

    HAHAHAHSULA (HAHAHA-ang Hassle) This song has been my LSS for the past few days, magandang kanta kasi – #Vispop! I’m sure marami ang makaka-relate… I wanna share it to some friends (na hindi Bisaya) who asked about its meaning…  So I attempted to translate it in Filipino (Tagalog) – which I am not very good at ^^, pero hopefully I will give justice to it.. hehehe.. Feel free to comment if I made some lines incorrectly in Tagalog… (open tayo dyan J ) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *   By: Kurt Fick feat. Paola Sandiego Translation by JM Bacus-Chavez…

    Exit – OEC

    POEA Online – Balik Manggagawa Online Processing System  We’re going home! !! Among the many hassles we Filipinos go through… (OFW to be specific) is the yearly visit to the embassy/consulate (if you could take a leave yearly) and get the so called OEC. OEC is – Overseas Employment Certificate. For the past 6 years, I often just show up to the embassy- fall in line and wait until my turn to present the required documents, pay for Pag-ibig, OWWA and others… but this year the embassy (in UAE) has started doing online appointment by visiting the website: http://bmonline.poea.gov.ph/ So, for those who plan to go on vacation, here is…

    Solace

    Photo credits from Chicken Soup FB page. Solace I don’t know if it is because I am sick (cough, runny nose, dry throat etc.) because of the change weather or it’s because this is just where I am right now. I remember a friend who once said, in life we go up and down and when we are the bottom we don’t give up. Instead, we stay and feel the moment because nothing is temporary. Someday, one day the bottom has nowhere else to go but to return back up! So here I am finding solace to the fact that I could actually express the feelings through writing and as I…

    Maldives: Adventure Trip

    Day 3 – Adventure Trip Day 3 is no different from the past 2 days. The only thing is that we don’t stand by in an island; instead we are offshore 80% of the trip. They call it Adventure trip because it allows you to do snorkeling, jumping from the 3-storey boat, and dolphin watching + a short stop over at Himmafushi Island where you find the cheapest souvenir shops in the island compared to the shops in the capital. We started at the same time at 10 am and road a small boat to our Tourist/Adventure 3-storey boat. Stayed on the 3rd floor and went our way to the…
