New Year's Resolutions....

Now that we have finished thinking about christmas, probably it's about time to think about new year's resolution naman or shall i say new year's resolution(s) dahil madami di ba.... This is the right time to look back and think about all those bad habbits and spoils that we have given to ourselves for the whole 2010.... Nakakabuti ba ang mga to o nakakasama, ano sa palagay nyo?

But not all spoils are bad naman syempre, yung iba ay part lang ng paraan natin para mai-motivate ang mga sarili natin just to keep us going sa kung ano-ano man na mga raket na kailangan nating i-motivate like career halimbawa, relationships, education, or daily life itself.... In moderations naman all these spoils are still cosidered healthy according to my opinion lang yan ha....

Most of those that we are suppose to quit " REALLY BADLY " like smoking and drinking or worse drug addiction have a long term effects in our system, and our family, and other people around us kaya mas maaga mas makakabuti.... Kaya kung isang pares lang na medyas paulit-ulit mo sinusuot for the whole week for the intire year, this is the right time to cosider buying another pair.... Pwede naman siguro instalment basis ang pagbayad sa bombay nyan tsong.... Kung ayaw mo maniwala sa kin, subukan mo idikit listahan mo ng mga new year resolutions sa refrigerator mamaya at garantisado kinabukasan may ilang dagdag na dyan.... MADYIK....! Happy New Year everyone....! =D

Wanted....

An unidentified man was breaking into peoples houses last night. The man was described by children that was woken up by his loud jolly laughter as, wearing a big red suit trimmed with white wool around his neck and down to his belly, then around his waist.

On the top of his suit, there's a belt in the loop holes. His belt is black and the buckle is gold. His pants are also red, with white wool around the ankles. He wears black boots, gloves, and a red cap that is a floppy cone, topped off with a white wool pompom. His hair is all grey also his long beard and mustache....

A homeless man added that the said man appears to be angry when he've mistaken him for the Grinch, a fictional character that looks like an untrimmed christmas tree on stilt.... Authorities have adviced everyone to stay calm and not to worry because the unidentified man was said to be harmless but eats a lot of cookies and drinks a lot of hot chocolates....

Authorities further adviced everyone that if you happen to have a close brush with this man, don't panic, just pretend that you're a reindeer and you will get a pat on the head and a handful of yummy sugar cubes in your mouth.... =)

Seafood marathon downunder....

I was planning to buy some prawns for the noche buena tonight but the queue was so horribly long.... So i've ended up making teriyaki chicken instead....

Shopping centres are in the middle of a marathon trading session, with stores staying open overnight and until 5.30pm today.

Shoppers at the fish markets will buy a staggering 83kg/min of prawns, 93kg/min of fish and almost 1000 oysters/min during today's traditional rush.

Ganyan po kasi ka-popular ang seafood dito sa Downunder specially during christmas season.... And as for my teriyaki chicken naman, it's absolutely delicious.... Better than any fish or prawns.... I think i've made the right decision going to the butcher rather than the seafood market today.... I'll just have that elusive prawns for the new year's eve.... Merry Christmas all....=D

Tomorrow....

Our company's christmas party will be at Ice Cube at Darling Harbour tomorrow.... It's right next to IMAX Studio so pwede din pala kami manood ng palabas pagkatapos....

I'm excited to try all the menus on offer but i'm just a little worried about my stomach because i'm always having problem with my digestion.... I'd better prepare a few handful of Antacid tablets tonight, buti na yung maagap tayo at baka magkalat pa ako dun bukas.... =)

Bilby....

Australia is a land of strange flora and fauna, yan ang unang napansin ko pagka-apak pa lang na pagka-apak ng mga paa ko dito.... Madami stuff toys nakasabit sa Duty Free he he.... And some of those are endangered like this cute and cuddly looking Bilby for example....

Hindi po bilbil iba naman yun hindi cute yun.... Bill-bee.... yun tamang pagbigkas nun....

Lam mo halatang nanood ka na naman ng documentary programs kanina Peng....

Para syang cross between Rabbit, Rat, and a Kangaroo ano nakakatuwa.... The bilby is a marsupial mammal which belongs to the bandicoot family and is about the size of a rabbit.

They have large ears, a silky light bluish-grey and white coat, and a long, black and white crested tail. Bilbies have a long pointed snout and a well-developed sense of smell to help them find food like makdo halimbawa....

Like all marsupials, the female bilbies have a pouch in which they carry their babies. Like the Australian koala, bilbies get most of their water from the food they eat.

The bilby populations are now isolated and scattered which means they are susceptible to ecological changes and are vulnerable to natural disasters such as disease and fire.

The bilbies in Queensland are now the most threatened and genetically distinct population in Australia, with only 600-700 specimens left in the wild.

Luckily salamat sa human interventions ang cute na Bilby po ay makikita pa ng mga future generations natin.... Example lang na civilized na tayo nung time ng mga Dinosaurs with all the moral and intellectual advancements etc., ano kayang klaseng mga interventions naman pwede nating gawin just to save them from extinction, hindi kaya tayo ang na-extinct at ginawang tsibog ng mga yun....?

Ano naman kaya kung sakali ang naging roles nila dito sa present time natin ngayon....? Hmmmm.... esep esep.... Alam mo Peng ala ka imagination talaga! Hindi ka ba nakapanood ng Flintstone....? Yan lang po.... =D

Opera House....

Last saturday i went to Circular Quay in Sydney and i took this photo of the Sydney Opera House's roof in close-up, it's actually made of hundreds and hundreds of thousands,or can even easily be millions of small white and cream coloured tiles....! Can you believe that....?! Amazing isn't it....?!

Bush Tucker....

If you happen to find yourself lost amongst the towering gigantic eucalyptus trees and some strange looking wildlife, and dry red soil on the ground, you know that you're in an australian bushland....


Probably the very first thing that will come to your now slowly dehydrating brain is how are you going to survive out there, and what the hell will you eat....? So perhaps if we try to survive the aboriginis way, probably a handful of these yummy-juicy grub will sustain you with your much needed nurishments enough for you to live another day....


These days, we have 'discovered' Bush Tucker. Indigenous Australians have been eating bush tucker for 60,000 years but for a long time we steered clear of the mushrooms, fruits, vegetables, animals, birds, reptiles, insects, flowers, herbs and spices that are native to this country.


It didn't look nice. In fact it looked awful. It takes a fair amount of courage to munch on a lizard, and how about a large family sized moth? (You've heard about those grubs of course).


But there's also wonderful fruits, tubers, greens, seeds and nuts. Bush Tucker isn't just witchetty grubs, although Witjuti as they are commonly called by aboriginis are incredibly high in protein and free for the eating....


Bush tucker is becoming widespread, thanks to a spate of recent health studies showing that native Australian meats, especially emu and kangaroo, are lower in fat and higher in iron than other conventional meats. The fruits are also known to be healthier, with the Kakadu plum thought to be the world's highest source of Vitamin C.


Most of what European settlers believed to be inedible is now considered very much the norm on the menus of top restaurants around the country.
