How are you, dearies? (Oh diba, feeling maraming readers lang, hahaha!) I hope you guys are safe and coping just fine to the effects of typhoon Lando. Kakatamad pumasok sa work, noh? Haaaaay…
Last weekend was okay. The hubby and I drove home in Bacoor on Saturday afternoon right after attending his classes (his last for this sem, yey!). We dealt with the bad weather calmly and went on to enjoy each other’s company at home.

Saturday night saw me doing yoga. Haha. I downloaded some yoga videos from You Tube and played them on our TV. I just wanted to try it, that’s all. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it and even reminded myself to do it during weekends. Good luck to me! #fitnessgoals
On Sunday, the hubby and I were supposed to celebrate our 11th anniversary as bf-gf by going out but we opted to stay home instead. The strong winds with intermittent rain in Bacoor made it impossible for us to move our butts. I just cooked some food for us to share while he did his usual chores.
This salad was borne out of my desire to eat clean (after doing yoga the other day). It had romaine lettuce, French beans, cucumber, red radish, cherry tomatoes, and blue cheese. Dressing was just a mix of EVOO and balsamic vinegar (1:3 ratio). It looks messy, but it was good! Promise. (Should you really want a better-looking photo, go to my IG account @edelweiss_19 for the plated version.) Haha.
I was not surprised that the hubby despises blue cheese because of the smell. He can be a picky eater sometimes and I respect his food preferences naman. As for me, I loooove blue cheese (and gorgonzola and goat cheese, too)!
Note to self: Next time I make that salad, I’ll add some nuts and meat for more texture and flavor. I’ll also use goat cheese or some mild-flavored cheese so the hubby can eat it.
Meanwhile, the hubby was raving about this Spam Tocino we bought from S&R a few weekends ago. He liked it so much (no need to dip in UFC banana ketchup na raw!) while I found it cloyingly sweet. I still prefer the regular one with 30% less sodium. To each his own talaga!
Oh, and I also got to read a few pages from this e-book about decluttering:
so true and liberating, that highlighted statement
We got back to Manila early morning yesterday and after unloading our stuff, slept again to prepare for a new work week.
Have a blessed and productive week, friends!
May you choose happiness always,
I haven’t tried Spam Tocino. And medyo matagal na din kaming hindi bumibili ng Spam. Ang mahal na kasi, from 90something to 130 plus!
Korek, sis, bigla nga tumaas! Kaya kami, paminsan-minsan na lang nakakakain. As in, buwan muna ang lilipas bago makatikim ulit, hehe. 🙂
Haha that’s how I usually open a post too, as if andami kong readers, lol!

Hahaha. Apir tayo, Ochi! 🙂
I also got back into running. I need to lose this pregnancy fats of mine. But I eat a lot after. I need to discipline myself on eating healthy after workout. He He He
Running is good, too. Haha, okay lang yan, sis. Hindi ka naman nag-iisa. Need ko rin ng mega dose of discipline! 🙂
Ahh, KonMari! It really was a life-changing book! I love that while the tips are practical, the whole practice is still very principle-based. It really is nice to be surrounded with only things that bring joy. 🙂
I should finish reading the book soon! I can’t agree more, Dani. 🙂
hi edel,
belly dancing naman pineplay ko sa Youtube, parang gusto ko nyang spam tocino.
Ingatz. God bless 🙂
Need ba magcostume pag nagbe-belly dancing para feel na feel? Interesting naman yan, Giday! If mahilig ka sa medyo matamis na ulam, magugustuhan mo ang Spam Tocino. 🙂
Favorite ko yang Spam Tocino sis. Ma-try ko nga yang salad mo, iba blanch pa yung French beans?
Pareho kayo ng hubby ko, sarap na sarap. Hehe. Yung French beans niluto ko muna sa butter at salt and pepper, half-cooked lang para crunchy pa din. 🙂
Nice to know you did some Yoga, and have been with your loved companion for 11 girl, so cool…. pray all are safe in that stormy weather…goodday
Hi, thank you for the kind words! 🙂
