Received something to munch on from my two cousins(one from Singapore and the other came from Dubai). This is the first time I tasted sweetened dates fruit and it's yummy! The coffee is pretty strong but its sugar free and it is perfect when I'm working at night. Ahh yes, chocolates is definitely a "must have"...

It also allows the user to attach photos from Drive to posts in Google+, and also let's you attach stuff from Drive directly to emails in Gmail.<strong><br /></strong><br />Google Drive is available for:</span><ul><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:100%;">PC and Mac</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:100%;">Chrome OS</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:100%;">iPhone and iPad</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:100%;">Android devices</span></li></ul><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:100%;">Download Google Drive <a href="https://drive.google.com/start#home">here</a>.<br /><br /><br /></span>jenskiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13907646522019570823noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624846697041933219.post-80455508394824830762012-08-01T15:10:00.005+08:002012-08-05T01:02:47.347+08:00Wordless Wednesday - Obsessions while working overnight<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fpUtwV9g_-Y/UBjW_6ud3CI/AAAAAAAACU0/ZmZJwDyuJPs/s1600/ww3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fpUtwV9g_-Y/UBjW_6ud3CI/AAAAAAAACU0/ZmZJwDyuJPs/s400/ww3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5771599316059544610" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rnhAbnknhWQ/UBjW_HQhsKI/AAAAAAAACUc/RaIIw-Kt9XQ/s1600/ww1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rnhAbnknhWQ/UBjW_HQhsKI/AAAAAAAACUc/RaIIw-Kt9XQ/s400/ww1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5771599302243758242" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZydjfOjJUIA/UBjXAearRzI/AAAAAAAACVA/PDZ3X9PGUyg/s1600/ww4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZydjfOjJUIA/UBjXAearRzI/AAAAAAAACVA/PDZ3X9PGUyg/s400/ww4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5771599325640214322" border="0" /></a>jenskiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13907646522019570823noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624846697041933219.post-73188684532709940772012-02-08T12:25:00.001+08:002012-02-08T12:26:22.726+08:00WW - Feelin' lazy on rainy Wednesday morning<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My all time favorite dessert is this Graham cake with Mango. I always make this when I'm home because this is a good substitute for ice cream and cake. This is so easy to prepare and all the ingredients are all available in stores.<br />
<br />
Here is the recipe:<br />

Last Christmas was a special one for me. After 6 years, I was able to spent the holidays here in my hometown with my family. From Manila to my hometown was an annoying and uncomfortable trip. I was restless for the whole 16 hour cutting trip. I arrived home on the 21th of December and we immediately plan for our noche buena and medya noche.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We prepared a simple and easy to prepare food for the holidays. Wine and macaroni salad is always on our list. We don't cooked spaghetti, we had sotanghon noodles instead.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My parents avoid lots of foods especially those that are high in cholesterol. My Mom is really good in baking. I requested for a rice cake but she decided to bake this marble chiffon cake. It is so good!<br />

<br />
I think noche buena won't be complete without a ham on the table together with a red wine.<br />

I wasn't feeling well this December. I got a bad colds and flu, added to that a severe tonsillitis for more than 2 weeks. So, I was glued to my bed most of the time. I wasn't even able to attend two Christmas parties. I missed a lot of activities this Christmas time. So I decided to go to my hometown to have some break and celebrate the holidays with my parents.</div>

A day before living the city, I invited my friends to watch the dancing lights in Ayala Triangle Park in Makati. It is just across my office building in Paseo de Roxas street.</div>

<br /></div>
Before, I am just wanting the Blackberry Curve 9300, but after reading some reviews in the internet, I choose to buy this one. It's thin, feels good in my hand, and looks so elegant. This is my first time having a blackberry phone. I enjoy surfing the net, I can check my emails, post facebook and twitter shoutouts anywhere, any time. It's fast and the screen display is impressive!<br />
<br />
It's just 2 days since I had this phone, so I have lots of exploring thing to do with my new phone, I will try taking some photos, too and will post them soon.<br />

The weather got so weird and unpredictable these past weeks. Yesterday, it's so hot and humid and then suddenly its been raining the whole day. We've been planning for another hiking activities and we cancelled it 4 times because of this weird weather. And every time I see this picture, I am so longing for a long sunny weekend so that we can go to the beach or we can hike the nearby mountain.<br />
<br />
By the way I took this picture early in the morning, last August this year, minutes before we went for dolphin watching. I love this place, I miss the white sand, the morning breeze and the sound of the waves. And oh, I miss watching the sunshine.<br />
<br />
Its Christmas season already and there is no way that we can go for another outdoor activities because everybody is busy making their Christmas shopping lists. I myself is done making a list of gifts to buy.<br />
<br />
But anyhow, I am looking forward to a summer weather so that we can go anywhere we want.jenskiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13907646522019570823noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624846697041933219.post-9146900350005787492011-07-10T15:30:00.000+08:002011-07-10T15:31:10.918+08:00Goodbye Body PainMost people will agree with me when I say that after a day’s work, your energy is drained, what’s left is body pain particularly in the neck, shoulder, arms and legs. It’s becoming a routine and while some of us ignore it, some resorts to the obvious solution - pain relievers across the counter. But the problem is, its affectivity doesn’t last long.<br /><br />I’ve been suffering this shoulder pain for as long as I can remember. I’ve tried many products, even medical gadgets that promises ease of pain but didn’t work for me. A friend of mine told me about this product, it is called <a href="http://www.lgmedsupply.com/twstteandems.html">LG-TEC Dual Combo TENS Unit and Muscle Stimulator</a> from LGMedSupply. She just bought and told me that it’s very effective. I doubted at first because I thought, that’s just one of those products. But then I said, "okay fine, let’s try". It really worked! I’ve never felt more relaxed and replenished. I feel like I’m in a spa. I’m using it every night and had a great sleep since then.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0a6s9DdMb_E/Tg8vV-dIdgI/AAAAAAAAB5s/8BSoRLCjdRA/s1600/blogtaskpic.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 259px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0a6s9DdMb_E/Tg8vV-dIdgI/AAAAAAAAB5s/8BSoRLCjdRA/s320/blogtaskpic.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624766514197984770" /></a><br /><br />So to all of you who have the same dilemma like mine, try these <a href="http://www.lgmedsupply.com/">Muscle Stimulators</a> and <a href="http://www.lgmedsupply.com/">Tens Units</a> for pain relief. I guarantee it’s effective. Many have given their testimonials too. Proofs how they get the best out of their life, the balance of work and leisure they now enjoy, less travel to see the Doctor and less medical bills.<br /><br />Cost effective and safe, you got nothing to lose. Your money will not put to waste.. it’s small and portable, you can forgot you have it in your body. <br /><br />Visit <a href="http://www.lgmedsupply.com/">LGMedSupply Online</a>, choose the combo that you need, order now and live a good and balanced life!jenskiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13907646522019570823noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624846697041933219.post-17365998438850173292011-07-06T23:32:00.003+08:002011-08-13T19:34:38.706+08:00WW - Yogurt!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AinZIOkM5GI/ThSCbx75AsI/AAAAAAAAB50/q8Q-MGjywLA/s1600/yogurt.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AinZIOkM5GI/ThSCbx75AsI/AAAAAAAAB50/q8Q-MGjywLA/s400/yogurt.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626265248265208514" /></a>

Coffins are placed in the entrance of the cave.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pdtWmK2FqNQ/Tg6kRdg5oSI/AAAAAAAAB5E/ZPdEd_qUAH0/s1600/sumaguing%2B3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pdtWmK2FqNQ/Tg6kRdg5oSI/AAAAAAAAB5E/ZPdEd_qUAH0/s400/sumaguing%2B3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624613604519682338" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iktzBArvDBc/Tg6keaRDbLI/AAAAAAAAB5M/aY04_Nd9wWo/s1600/sumaguing%2B1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iktzBArvDBc/Tg6keaRDbLI/AAAAAAAAB5M/aY04_Nd9wWo/s400/sumaguing%2B1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624613826986208434" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m3V5E0H15HQ/Tg33zOwKl1I/AAAAAAAAB40/seijAxXxyQ4/s1600/sumaguing%2Binside.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m3V5E0H15HQ/Tg33zOwKl1I/AAAAAAAAB40/seijAxXxyQ4/s400/sumaguing%2Binside.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624423969161123666" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ID6apXh6cWQ/Tg6kusMdMhI/AAAAAAAAB5U/ahcJUlY2ji4/s1600/sumaguing%2B2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ID6apXh6cWQ/Tg6kusMdMhI/AAAAAAAAB5U/ahcJUlY2ji4/s400/sumaguing%2B2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624614106676670994" /></a><br /><br /><center>Sumaguing Cave</center><br />This is of the most popular cave here in Sagada. Sumaguing Cave "The Big Cave" has the largest chamber of all connection caves in this town. We had the best adventure here.<br /><br />3 days is not enough, we haven't visited the Sagada's Marlboro Country, The blue Soil, Underground River, more caves and other serene places here. I hope I can go back to this town again soon.jenskiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13907646522019570823noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624846697041933219.post-87511738090610657462011-04-05T19:00:00.002+08:002011-04-07T10:33:09.176+08:00WW - It's a Blue Wednesday<center>I feel blue...

Sagada is in the northern part of the country, in the Mountain Province. This place is famous for trekking, spelunking, and other outdoor activities. Although I suffered severe body pain because I am not used to walk for a long hours, climb up and down the cliff, hills, and including exploring the caves, I enjoyed my whole time while I was there.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lpSaeu5MHdU/TZK7vJqtd3I/AAAAAAAAB3Q/hXAdXmTs-b8/s1600/blog1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lpSaeu5MHdU/TZK7vJqtd3I/AAAAAAAAB3Q/hXAdXmTs-b8/s400/blog1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589736506243512178" /></a><br /><br />One thing I love this place is the weather and the Pine Trees! When we are there, the weather reached as low as 9degrees early in the morning and about 14-15degrees at night. I love cold weather!<br /><br />It was a 6hrs bus ride from manila to Baguio and another 6 hrs bus ride from Baguio to Sagada Province. We arrived the town proper at past noon and as soon as we reached our Inn, we hurriedly ate our lunch and get ready for the first day adventure. It was quite a cold and drizzly noon when we got there. The first place in our itinerary is the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Hanging Coffins</span>.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3TWjjzIMitc/TZLJfukaiMI/AAAAAAAAB4I/rpMJNaVhGmw/s1600/fb14.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3TWjjzIMitc/TZLJfukaiMI/AAAAAAAAB4I/rpMJNaVhGmw/s320/fb14.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589751634434099394" /></a><br /><center>The sign going to Echo Valley and Hanging Coffins.</center><br /><br />We passed by a Cemetery on our way.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NaocW-8hDbs/TZBq6V_oCiI/AAAAAAAAB3I/Y07OFblESMs/s1600/blog2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NaocW-8hDbs/TZBq6V_oCiI/AAAAAAAAB3I/Y07OFblESMs/s200/blog2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589084688135752226" /></a><br />One thing I noticed is that, people in Sagada use pith wood instead of candles when they visit their dead relatives.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SBmGF-8DuRk/TZK8cf9YPXI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/ii6Tb1mNiC0/s1600/blog3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SBmGF-8DuRk/TZK8cf9YPXI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/ii6Tb1mNiC0/s400/blog3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589737285321506162" /></a><br /><center>Going to Echo Valley.</center><br /><br /><br />We walked for about an hour.

Sagada has only Philippine town that is predominantly Protestant with almost 95% baptized into the Episcopal Church. They celebrated 100th anniversary last 2001.<br /><br />It was raining when we reached St. Mary's Church. We decided to go back to our Inn, take a good rest and regained our strength for the next day adventure.jenskiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13907646522019570823noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624846697041933219.post-38373510396525996302011-03-24T11:26:00.004+08:002011-03-24T12:29:15.023+08:00Earth Hour 2011<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BgjWev524wc/TYrGjyxJsjI/AAAAAAAAB2w/cYDSwf-LWr4/s1600/earth-hour-2011.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BgjWev524wc/TYrGjyxJsjI/AAAAAAAAB2w/cYDSwf-LWr4/s400/earth-hour-2011.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587496605932171826" /></a><br /><br />On Saturday, March 26, 2011 at 8:30PM, switch off our lights for an hour. Let's support this worldwide event. By doing this, we can show the world that are aware of what we can do to save energy.<br /><br />Global warming seems to be an inevitable thing that's happening now, but somehow we can still do and commit to this kind of event to save our world.<br /><br />Check <a href="http://www.earthhour.org/Homepage.aspx?intro=no">Earth Hour</a> website for more info.jenskiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13907646522019570823noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624846697041933219.post-4527698524660752612011-03-18T13:12:00.003+08:002011-03-18T13:36:40.228+08:00Super Full Moon<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/r1yalg_Apdw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />I hope I could have some time tomorrow night to take a look at the beautiful moon. Tomorrow, we will see the super full moon, the moon is going to be 14% bigger than usual and it will bring extra-high "perigean tides" but there is nothing to worry about. The moon will be 356,575km from the earth, making it 7% closer than average. This phenomenon takes place once every 18 years or so, according to the scientists.<br /><br />I think this will be a perfect time to grab your camera and take a great shot with this beautiful super full moon!jenskiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13907646522019570823noreply@blogger.com0
