My Baby Turns 2!

Even before I turned 30, most people just can't zip it. They have to know when do I plan to have a baby. And I know THAT pattern. If you're single, they'll ask when you'll get married. When you do, they'll probe when you'll have a baby. When it happens, they'll demand for a follow-up kid. It simply never ends!

The truth is, I've had babies - not one, but many babies! You've heard about my defunct t-shirt business, my traveling dolls, my main blog, this kikay blog, this travel blog and, the latest, this fellowship of plus size Pinays. A few died, but the rest remains. And I pray that I can keep them all, that I can keep them alive in my spare time, that I can keep this passion in my heart ablaze. Please include me in your prayers, too.

Extra Seksi turns 2-year-old today! Unlike last year when I declared my elaborate plans that mostly backfired, I prefer to zip it and keep my gladness to myself. After all, like I've said here, I shall reward my hardwork with MORE WORK! But the kid in me just won't dismiss this as an ordinary day. A chocolate cake par-tey is in order!

The burpday girl!

MUSIC MONDAY: MIKA - Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)

♪♪ No need to fantasize ♪♫ ♫♫ Since the words are my praises ♪♫ ♪♫♫ A watering hole with the girls around ♪♪ ♫♪♪ And curves in all the right places ♪♫♪
Some people really know how to crack me up, some how to make me feel glowing with gratitude. But only a few can make me feel that way at the same time. And that's what my BFF succeeded to do in this unexpected birthday tribute. I urge you to watch it. But, hey, make sure your kids get parental guidance. Extreme close-ups can get quite shocking. Haha!

Judging by this post, you can tell how much I adore this song. It's the most fitting song to introduce this musical segment of my blog. Put that music and my favorite photos and a few of my quotable quotes together and I'm ready to cry like a 2-year-old kid.

Deej, have I thanked you enough for this surprise? And I dunno what else to say. This really made my day. I love you!

What's In My Lunchbox Today? Vegetarian Spaghetti + Pineapples

At home, it's been customary to serve spaghetti during birthdays and other special occasions regardless of the celebrant's age. In spite of the fact that I've chosen the path to vegetarian diet and I've turned sweet 29, my family still expects a pool of spaghetti to grind for days. Should I give in to their request and beg the resident chef to prepare something else for me? Thanks to veggie meat, THEY have no choice but adjust to my liking for once. *insert evil laughter here*

Although I've tried veggie meat as early back in college, this is my first time to actively search for such in the market. I've heard that SAGE products are available in SM supermarkets, so I went looking for this. The veggie meat variants being offered in the frozen food section are greatly outnumbered, you won't have a hard time looking for them.

When I woke up this afternoon, I felt excited to see the vegetarian counterpart of my usual birthday meal at home. My mother greeted me with her I-don't-like-it spiel, but that's typical to hear from someone with non-adventurous tastebuds. [She had a history of clamoring for sinigang and other Pinoy meals when she's on vacation in Hong Kong.] Remember how my brother Lec disliked my spirulina milk here? It definitely takes an open mind to appreciate tofu instead of the usual bloody meat.

So...even if I have a date with my boyfriend in Kanin Club before shift, I heartily consumed this veggie spaghetti for theoretical breakfast and packed some more for my lunchbreak (that's past midnight for you!) later. I happen to have the perfect excuse to overindulge again! ;)

The not-so-meat sauce!
