Favorite Rainy Season Treats

Ola! 

How was your weekend? Was is as breezy as mine? haha! kidding aside I have a new post for you all! 

I know the past week had been a bitch, don't deny! it has been raining since Monday and I hate it when it rains! The only thing that I like when it is raining is I don't have to go to school when I was younger. But now that I am working I have to suck it up because the only reason I can skip work is either I am sick or I am stuck because of flooding. 

Since it has been raining I was able to enjoy some simple treats to beat the cold weather. 

I am currently on a diet, but I am allowed to have soups on that diet. and I was able to enjoy Beef Mami and some Lucky Me with Embutido omelet.

What is your favorite Rainy Season treat?

Have you seen the Red Moon last night?

Have you seen the Lunar eclipse last night? 

I was able to see this spectacular view from the comfort of my home. It was said that a red moon during a lunar eclipse is not a common sight and usually it takes decades to see one. 

I was lucky to see this and don't have to pay a fee! haha!

I actually stayed up until 3 in the morning to see the eclipse and how slowly the moon turns red. It actually had 3 colors if see it without binoculars. During the first few minutes there was a white, then succeeding is a faint orange that intensifies over a couple of minutes then it has turned into a fiery red. 

This Lunar eclipse is also the longest. it lasted for 11 minutes. The view was spectacular. Although there were obstructions where I was looking i.e. the commercial building besides our house. But nonetheless the scene was worth remembering. 

We'll never know when we'll be seeing another red moon. But I hope to see a blue moon next time ^_^

simple cravings during my period.

When I have my period I act like a pregnant woman going thru her first trimester. Usually on the first day of my period I feel sluggish and don't really want to move unless I have to go into the bathroom. 

I am not like other girls there that crave for green mangoes on their period. I usually crave for cold and hot beverages. I actually bought myself a hot tea and a Dark mocha frap back then when I was working in the call center! haha! 

One of the food that I crave the most besides from hot and cold beverages I also crave for fruits like grapes, apple, and oranges. When I was still working as a call center agent I would buy like 3 kilos of grapes from the grocery near our office. 

Craving is kinda something I can hold back when needed. But when I cannot hold it back anymore I would just do it. 

What is your special craving? Let me know ^_^

Much Love!

What I have been craving for

A lot of my closest friends know that I crave food that easily. But there is one food that I really crave the most. Whether it’s raining or its painstakingly hot outside I usually crave for my mother's famous spaghetti.

Manila bans Facebook during work

Just saw this post from Yahoo a couple of minutes ago regarding banning Facebook at work - especially at government offices. 

Honestly speaking a lot of companies have banned Facebook at work. I have worked in a call center for a year and I have seen people accessing their accounts through their work stations. I'm not gonna come clean but I was part of those that did that. But nonetheless Facebook is now part of our lives. 

And even if they ban Facebook in their servers there is a lot of means to access the site without getting detected - trust me, I live with two computer addicts / professionals. Its pretty easy to go through third party links to access Facebook. 

Banning Facebook is actually not a way to discipline your employees. And also the employees will be the one to decide if they want to abide by the rules or not. 

Just saying! 

:D
