Craving for Siopao


One of the most favorite things I like to do is "eating". (LOL) I think it's not only me, most of us love to eat but I observed something about myself. When I am not able to eat what I am craving for in an instant that I am so hungry, still I will not get full until I get what my taste buds need.

When we were strolling in the mall earlier my tummy started to complain and wants "chicken siopao." Not again! Even I was a kid I already love siopao. It's a complete meal for me. It contains both carbohydrates and protein and no need for me to eat rice and viand. It's been awhile that I was not able to savor one of my favorite filipino delicacies.
For those who don't have any idea what siopao is, it is a steamed bun with fillings. My most favorite filling is chicken but there are other varieties, like beef, pork, mongo beans, ube (purple yum). I remember my grandmother, she loves cooking and out of all her recipes I only asked her to give me a copy of her siopao recipe. Her own version of bun is not that super white compared to siopao sold in the market but it is so soft and tasty. Her fillings are not also the usual ones, one of those is sweetened coconut meat. The other kind of filling she put in is vegetarian meat, with potatoes, pineapples and spices. Those are super delicious. Though I was not able to keep the recipe she gave me, I am compiling some links you can refer to if you are interested to make your home-made siopao.

Sharing My Montage

With the advent of computer and internet, things that were hard to do before seems easy nowadays. Making video presentations in the past were just professionals' thing but by using a software or online tool anyone can make a professional looking slideshow. I've tried One True Media to make my own personal presentation. Simply, I uploaded the photos, chose styles or effects and ohla! my slides are ready! Here's what I made...

Electronic Buying

Yehey! I just won! Not in the lottery hah... I won the bidding in e-bay. hehehe. I was searching for wedding shoes in ebay.ph and happened to see this nice Janylin sandals for just 50 pesos. Yes, you've read it right, it's fifty pesos. It's not really the exact thing I am looking for to be worn on my wedding but I can wear it in other occasions. Super cheap huh? There were couple of other bidders who were interested too with the sandals so the bidding price reached up to 101 pesos. Still, it's cheap. The pair of sandals is so beautiful for it's price. If you buy Janylin sandals or shoes in the store or in the mall it will cost from 800-3,000 "pesosesoses" depending on the styles. I was able to see a sexy Janylin's wedding shoes in the mall and its price is 3,500+++ pesos. Janylin for 101 pesos is just so perfect.

Electronic buying is one of the conveniences we have right now. We don't have to leave the house and go to the store to buy. We just sit down in front of the computer then look for the things we need and if you're good at surfing and have so much patience, you can get the item at a very low price. Filipinos are starting to learn how to sell and to buy online, particularly in ebay.com.ph. Two years ago there were only few sellers and buyers there. I noticed the increasing number of the members that are fond of buying and selling online.

Other than ebay there are also other Philippine Electronic Stores. Written below are some of the e-stores I found.
