Live Life to the Fullest – Epilogue of Meaningful Life Adventure

“Take every chance you get in life because some things only happen once. Do now that makes you happy.”

The first time I saw this commercial that talked about the 100-year old man who made a visit to his newborn great grand daughter, the values and authenticity are so real. I will not lost a chance on commercials that astonished me which gave substance and meaning to the viewer. I did several posts about commercials or videos which is not only viral but give the meaning of life. I am not paid with this but basically I am endorsing it to convey the real meaning of the message within.

This gave me a goose bump nostalgic moments. We were a family that grandparents were very, very close to our heart that reminded my lolo (grandfather) who were died 10 years ago. I am still lucky I have with me my grandmother, my Mommy Lola which we fondly called. Her wisdom and being healthy gave the manifestation of zest for life. Her joys were still very heart warming to us.

For me, it is not more about the Coke commercial. It gave a move to a goal in life, finding what makes you happy, its secret. Time passes very quickly and before we knew it, another day has passed by. Take every chance you get in life because some things only happen once. Do now that makes you happy.

I also love to share this full of quotes about what Life can offer:

Life can seem ungrateful and not always kind
Life can pull at your heartstrings and play with your mind

Life can be blissful and happy and free
Life can put beauty in the things that you see

Life can place challenges right at your feet
Life can make good of the hardships that we meet

Life can overwhelm you and make your head spin
Life can reward those determined to win

Life can be hurtful and not always fair
Life can surround you with people who care

Life clearly does offer its ups and its downs
Life’s days can bring you both smiles and frowns

Life teaches us to take the good with the bad
Life is a mixture of happy and sad

So…..

Take the life that you have and give it your best
Think positive, be happy let God do the rest

Take the challenges that life has laid at your feet
Take pride and be thankful for each one you meet

To yourself give forgiveness if you stumble and fall
Take each day that is dealt you and give it your all

Take the love that you’re given and return it with care
Have faith that when needed it will always be there

Take time to find the beauty in the things that you see
Take life’s simple pleasures let them set your heart free

The idea here is simply to even the score
As you are met and faced with Life’s Tug Of War

~ Author Unknown

My name is Lolo Mario and in my 100 years of life,
I have been lucky, lucky to have been born like you
To have friends and family
To live a happy life to this day
You have been born in challenging times
The world is a big place
It’s so easy to get lost
To guide you, my advice is simple
Go find what makes you happy
Time flies by so fast
Don’t waste it on non-sense
And no matter where you end up
Don’t forget where you came from
Looking back on all my years
I am grateful for every moment spent
With my friends and family
Now I can see that 100 years
is not nearly enough time
To spend with them
Happiness is your birthright
Your friends and family will help you find it
For 100 years of happiness, thank you very much!

“Spend plenty of time together.  Get exciting yet spontaneous talk that will later bring both of you the spark of memories when you first fell in love.”

 

Me and hubby were quite sad when I was invited the partner launch of Enchanted Kingdom and Coca-Cola because we will be missing our kids with us who enjoyed more the attractions and took the most of the unlimited rides and attractions.

Anyway, both of us just enjoyed it as some sort of a date between us.  We love always the Wheel of Fortune where we can get at the top shooting the whole compound of Enchanted Kingdom and seen the greenery of the south.  Maybe even I will go round and round several times, we will still do it.

As we got the chance to talk to each other before new year’s eve, our resolution is still to have a time between the two of us without  literally the kids. People say that once both are married, it is done deal.  We spent time going around and enjoyed the parade for the whole afternoon.

Sounds really funny to date a hubby.  Anyway,  I would like to share with you simple tips, my insights why is it important.

Importance of Dating in a Marriage:

• One must realize that to keep the marriage always alive, the love rekindled by giving time to each other.  Thus, relationship with marriage become still fresh and interesting everyday.

• It is not necessary to be with one another always.  Spending quality time is enough.

• There were times when we were both alone, we clashed on certain ideas.  When kids were around, we avoided heated discussions just for them not to hear it.  When both talk personally and understand with each other, bitterness and resentments fade away, relationships rejuvenated and strengthen more the closeness.

Do this every week by routines and you will see the difference.  Make it a habit and give priority. It will become natural that you like the experience to be with one another.  Problems and issues will always exist but if you have control to every situation, your marriage will be able to face any storms.

I remembered my parents and grandparents always told us, only two of you started the family.  Children will leave you in the future.  You are all ended alone again.  True indeed!   Dating breaks the rut of daily life.  Spend plenty of time together.  Get exciting yet spontaneous talk that will later bring both of you the spark of memories when you first fell in love.

“If gastronomy is the art of cooking, then I am probably traveling into good eating.”

One of my favorite training consultancy venue is Venice Piazza here at Mckinley Hill, Taguig City.  Every time,  my fellow consultants gathered together in this place, we made it a point to pick one resto where we indulge ourselves into good food.  Maybe part of getting our inspiration to deliver more our conduct productively as consultants is to have a simple conversation, exchanging ideas especially if you find wisdom to those simple talks.

Maybe one seating in one resto for our bonding moments like getting main meal and a drink would cost us P 200.00 or more.  For the dessert and coffee, more or less, it is just the same price. We have almost go rounds on the different restos here at Venice considering we were doing our conducts here for more than 2 years already.

What if you will given a chance to hop from different restos here in Piazza tasting their signature specialty dishes as in everything from appetizer, main course, dessert and beverages for only P 600.00?  I just did and truly a gastronomic adventure for a foodie lover like me!

What I did was to invite my fellow consultant and foodies who are also bloggers like me to experience the festive taste of flavors at Venice Piazza. We have also that chance to harness  our passion to see different styles of food preparation, took shots for every food that was served and what I enjoyed most were the sharing of food taste jumping from one plate to another.

I have heard the last year’s Food Adventure was a success but did not have that opportunity to travel that culinary tasting.  Great that they were taking it back and even better with 14 restaurants participating to dine at.

The food adventure that I have had these passport and wristband that lets you jump from one resto to another.  The passport will also served as your guide to the menu dishes you love to try.  The passport is not allowed for sharing but one can come back on the next day to try other dishes.  If you will ask me, we tried to conquered all those servings in one night.  Good luck for us, that is all I can say.

Sharing all the delightful food varieties that I dig in that night and also my recommendations in case you decided to do your food trip adventure.  Actually, after that, I did not know how I got home.  Two dishes alone, I was almost full enough.

• Pho Hoa’s Pomelo Salad – ever since this was my favorite with Pho Hoa.  If ever I will be in the diet, the pomelo salad is enough for me.  I also got two to three servings of this which I have asked my fellow foodie to allowed me to eat their share.

• Little Asia’s Shrimp Curls or  Vietnamese Spring Rolls were such a hit for me.  You have to eat it while it was still hot or else, this would be lump to taste.

• Blackwood Bistro’s Penne Putanesca – when this was served, I was almost full.  Still got a spoonful of it and the sauce is just right with the pasta.

• Kuse’s Lechon Kawali or Spicy Chicken Relleno – I highly recommended more the lechon kawali, so crispy!

• Old Vine’s Grilled Fish Fillet or Chicken Barbeque – I took a pick more with fish fillet, much healthy perhaps.

• Pincho’s Duo of Buffalo Chicken Fillet with Chips and Salsa – big serving for an appetizer

• Empire’s Grilled Tuna or Empire Signature Salad – love the exquisite taste of tuna with light dressing rather than their tossed greens with slices of grilled chicken.

• Red Crab’s Dory Fillet or Stuffed Beancurd with Crab Relleno – the presentation is too perfect but sorry the taste is not that appealing.  Both were too blunt.

• Ramen Bar’s Karaage and Kakuni Buns – pork belly buns were such a hit together with the fried chicken.

• Sol Gelato – one can choose from any two 2 gelato flavors, there were varieties of flavor to choose from, still love hokey-pokey and banofee combination. Have a chance again to taste ferrero and dark chocolate combination.  To know more about varieties of  flavors available, kindly check my link post below from Sol Gelato:

http://livelifefullest.com/2011/12/16/indulge-with-sol-gelato/

• Yo Swirls by BTIC either Original Mango or Vanilla Chocolate Yoghurt

• Figaro’s Coffee  either brewed or iced coffee.  Have picked Ice Coffee.

• Coffee Bean’s Hot Tea Latte where 6 delectable flavors to choose – Chai, English Breakfast, Tropical Passion, Matcha Green Tea, Apple Pie.  Love still the Moroccan Mint Tea

Aside from that, passport holders or those who are participating can avail discounts and freebies by all participating restaurants on weekends and weekdays like:

• free upsize on any coffee/tea based or original ice blended drink at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf
• free upsize of gelato piccolo to grande and grande to extra grande at Sol Gelato
• 50% off on frozen yogurt scoops and soft-serve frozen yoguts at Yoswirls

and definitely a lot more to offer!

My gastronomical adventure to food with Venice Piazza is really a blast. If this is the art of cooking, then I am probably travelling into good eating with great company of friends around me.

So what are you waiting?  Head on to the  food adventure at Venice Piazza and taste the flavors of 14 restaurants for only P600.00 every Saturday and Sunday starting January 7 to March 31, 2012 from 4pm to 9pm.

Our luck depends on how we aim and exhilarate hard work in getting what our purpose with life is. 

It is up to us to fulfill our destiny.

As the days for 2012 is fast approaching, the schedule of celebrating Chinese New Year entering  Water Dragon this 23rd opened its highlights last January 15 at the Block of SM North Edsa.

This was our family’s first time to witness different Chinese performances hosted by Chris Tiu relating the whole event and started it with story telling.

From the Wushu Demo of  Philippine Ling Nam Athletic Federation exhibiting different “kung-fu” weapons and the appearance of the Chinese emperor, Mr. Richard Yap of “My Binondo Girl”  complimented the commemoration of the much-awaited New Year occasion.

Dragon and Lion Dance performance with a carnival act of jumping from one seats to another standing were also an entertainment that our family did not missed to watch with loud drumbeats at the side.

A choir headed by Chinese Symphony Orchestra was also one of the highlights of the said event.  Overall, our family love the entire festivity which made us understand more the Chinese culture.

To complete my celebration of Chinese New Year 2012 with the Water Dragon, have also indulge to Chinese Street Food  Festival at the malls’ Sky Garden.

From Govby’s Food and Little Fella’s, we tried Hongkong Noodles with sauces to choose from, Siopao with Asado and Bola-Bola and the taste of Shabu-Shbu in a petite bowl.

Kudos to Red Basket where most of their authentic dumplings, marcons, lumpiang shanghai and siopao were also a hit taste for me. The staffs were very generous to gave all of those for a real Chinese taste and truly I have enjoyed their food.

Siomai House is eversince my favorite food cart even it is not Chinese New Year partnered with their gulaman. Their siomai is my comfort food in the areas of MRT stations and sort of my early dinner or late snack going late at home.

Like last year, I have checked if I will be lucky for the Water Dragon via internet.  My Rooster sign which is one of the three lucky animal zodiac symbols together with Monkey and Rat are compatible with Dragon.

This is great news indeed!  Unlike last year, my luck with the year of the Rabbit predictions (http://livelifefullest.com/2011/02/03/my-2011-chinese-astrology/) were not that good.

If I will assess and reflected on what had happened last year, living my life to the fullest gave me a level of different lever of success in terms of achieving it and challenges that made me more stronger one step at a time.

Again, even my predictions for last year and this year are just merely a forecast which can be more or less can become hopefully true,  still at the end of each day, our luck will solely depends on how we aim and exhillirate hard work in getting what our purpose with life is.  It is up to us to fulfill our destiny.

Our heartfelt thanks to SM North Edsa and Azrael of  http://azraelsmerryland.blogspot.com/ for the invitation.  Spending the culture and taste of Chinese New Year with family and friends are truly a remarkable experience indeed.

For those who missed out, the complete festivity will be happening until January 29, 2012.

To my fellow Chinese friends, Kung Hei Fat Choi and here’s to the best of year to come.

“Teaching our children to be independent is the best thing we can leave as treasures they can uphold.”

Photos courtesy of: http://flickrcc.bluemountains.net

Got to see Junior Master Chef of ABS-CBN with my youngest daughter, Jam.  When I told her to do her assignments and study in the evening during weekends, she will always made a compromise to allowed her to watch first this kiddie cooking show.  So, that is the condition, LOL!  Actually, I even enjoyed watching it with her.

It is so seldom nowadays to have a show that is educational and informative yet teaches creativity to our children.  I started kids cooking activities way back with my second daughter which helped me in assisting the kitchen when she was 7 years old.  Simple activities like cooking rice and frying from hotdog, nuggets, hamburgers which is also I am doing those routines with my youngest daughter.  Eventually, from cooking varieties of dishes to baking which led Jeng to decide to college to get culinary courses.

For me, it is really very important to learn those skill at early age. Why?  Teaching our children to be independent is the best thing we can leave as treasures they can uphold.  Even me and their father were not around, they can be on their own.

Other benefits are boosting their self-esteem to be confdent just lighting the gas stove.  It is also a bonding moments for both of us.  From this point, they learn how to plan, be creative and be aware on what they are doing.

When I got an invite to witness an introduction of dishes which offered by Pancake House inspired thru Junior Master Chef Show set of menu, I did not have that second thought to turn down the invitation even the venue for me was far.

Love to see Junior Chefs personally, chat to them on how they got their passion to cook at an early age with sooo much gusto and share these experiences to my daughter. Truly, a remarkable meet-ups that made my daughter so envy with me.

These were the standout dishes which I personally tasted and definitely filled with healthy benefits when eaten.

• Cabbage Lumpia in Coconut Breading – crispy lumpia that is filled with cabbage with toasted breading.  Price is P 175.00.

• Fish Burger with Malunggay Sauce and Caramelized Ginger with Brown Rice Pilaf – love all the twist of healthy palate served in one dish.  If kids will taste the fish burger, one can never said it directly, its was a fish. Price is P 235.00.

• Rice in Ampalaya Silog – ampalaya filled with meat topped with melted cheese and served with garlic rice, sunny side-up egg.  To compliment the whole meal, serve with crispy dilis and pickled ampalaya.  Healthlicious, indeed! Price is P 235.00.

• Tofu Eggplant Salad -  deep fried tofu served with grilled eggplant and mustard green salad topped with toasted pinipi in a special honey sauce. A truly everyone’s veggie experience.  Price is P 175.00.

• Porksilog Steak – pan-grilled pork lin which is filled with garlic longanisa meat.  To complete the whole delish meal, great served with special fried rice, sunny side-up egg with mango chutney at the side. Price is P 260.00.

• BBQ Baby Back Ribs served with warm Bacon Potato Salad and Corn on the Cob -  fully loaded meal for the people on the go!  This is a bit pricey I think, P 400.00 if I am not mistaken. But the serving is really huge which is good to 2-3 people.

Love also all the presentations of the food that made it really very appetizing!

Here I am, a fan, supporter of these kids and were very happy to meet some of then at Pancake House.  From (L-R). Junior MasterChef kids – Caitlin Taluban, Kyle Ima, Jobim Balbuena and Miko Manzano.   Eman, Kyle, Caitlin, and Miko were happy to meet the chef of Pancake House, Chef Adrian Azurin.

Have got the chance also to listened to their preparation for the cooking finals – from experimenting new dishes, reading books, practice cooking and even those harnessing knife skills at home.

Catch Junior MasterChef that airs every Saturdays (after Wansapanataym) and Sundays (after Goin’ Bulilit) on ABS-CBN.  Do not forget also to dine-in now at Pancake House and enjoy those culinary masterpieces of the talented kiddie cooks.

“A home away from home is a dwelling of good food and coffee around you –

an abode where, when you have to go there but the best thing, a place to take you in.”

If 2011 was a great blast for me in terms of career and personal growth, I am anticipating that 2012 will be another great year.  As I said, it will bold, fierce and more focus.

More so, clients go far and far up to the northern part…  Well, this is work afterall.   One can consider it a “happy problem”.  From there, you will find ways to schedule and compress your time. Do worthwhile activity that would compensate more your productivity and at the end, you must have results.

From there, I was scouting for resto at the north which is quite secluded I may say -  we  can discuss solemnly, have wifi  where we can do online and got this homey  ambiance feeling.

That is how I found Teacup – a new resto along Mother Ignacia area which got all the work environment I need thru a recommendation also of fellow foodies.

I am person who love interiors which brings home out of the working place that makes for everyone be comfortable sitting, hang-out and just chill-out while working and do some bonding at the same time.  Teacup’s homey style is actually my relaxing escape to my home office while waiting or being early then have time for work.  Their decorations also captured me.  According to my fellow foodie, those displays were home stuffs and painted artworks were done by the owner’s kids.  Teacup got also this small conference room for rent for closed meeting and gatherings like product demos, parties, events, reunions and alike.

Now for the food. You know me! My meal started with coffee and dessert. Sometimes if still my appetite permitted it, I also ended up with the same thing. But of course, you have to impress me how delicious and sinful it is!

Here were some of the desserts available at Teacup. Have tasted their coffee, ube cake, chocolate cake and their cookies.  For the sliced cakes, cost ranges between P 60.00  to P 100.00

All of them were home baked by the owner herself transforming this resto as an extension of their home sharing desserts love by her family – from blueberry to strawberry cheesecake, chocolate cake, oatmeal/raisin cookies, ube halaya cake, red velvet cake and brownies.

Since this a teacup resto, expect lot of beverages to choose from – to coffee, latest craze today like milk teas and milk shakes.  Price range from P 45.00 to P 120.00.

Teacup also shared casual, home style food that their family love to eat.

One example for the main entree was the Beef Salpicao – tenderloin beef sauteed in lots of garlic, olive oil and butter.  Another one which I will definitely bring my son with me was the Chicken Cordeon Bleu -  slices of tasty roll of chicken breast  with a filling of ham and cheese topped with  gravy.  This one was his favorite.  Another one, that we will be coming back for taste was the Grilled Pork Chop with Pineapple Glazed. All meals are served with rice and buttered vegetables.

I have also have the chance to try their Meaty Lasagna.  Big serving!  Yes, its really meaty between the layers for each pasta!  The sauce, topped cheese and creaminess were just enough.

Too pricey, I may say ranging from P 150.00 to 300.00 per serving. Ahh,  pretty good value for the money I may say. Now, I miss my family here.

Overall, love the style of the homey ambiance, all food were great and staffs were courteous.  Simple yet delicious and sooo relaxing.  Two thumbs up recommendations for my family, friends and relatives at the metro.  Actually, can’t wait for the family to bring here and taste that homey dwelling and will definitely share my experiences here!  Truly, a home away from home…

Year 2011 is a chapter that I was so thankful.  Basically, it is not yet an end.   It maybe rich with turnarounds of ups and downs. Definitely, my story is just starting as I continuously playing the beat of it.

Got to woke up early and getting ready myself for work tomorrow.  Yes, I am excited and preparing things to bring.  Well,  for this another year, 12 months of anticipated brand new experiences.  There were many resolutions, stuffs that I love to do more.  From here, I cannot decide what would be the first.  Do I have to list, gather or collect?

As I sit down,  I am considering to start all over with a clear and open mind, no baggage at all.  I don’t need grudges, fears and even guilty feeling.  I just let it go.  I am viewing myself to more commitments and fulfillment, how I will spend my time and what I can give more.

Preparing my two companions – Belle De Jour Planner 2012 and Figaro Coffee Notebook. These are my push and I am listing down everything  – my constant reminders that will put into writing.

I have to decide now spending more time to life that my heart is unceasingly love to do.  No room from the past that holds me but more on the lessons learned.

It is up to me, to us to take the initial steps.  No holding back.  Focus to make it happen the best year of our lives. All are always filled with endless possibilities.

“Thank you Lord for the gift of life.   Always keep my loved ones to continue to grow in body, mind and spirit.  Let me remember you always by being strong, focus and disciplined.  Be with me Lord, bless me.”

Spending our family’s first day of the year by having a mass in Paranaque at the National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians which was also near to our next family reunion. I miss this church as I vividly remembered friends from Salesian Congregation and working way back to Don Bosco where we gathered for special occasions especially if nuns and priests will be ordained.

Visiting a church also is my way to do reflections – a personal gratitude to the Lord for all the blessings and offer my simple prayer.

“Thank you Lord for the gift of life.   Always keep my loved ones to continue to grow in body, mind and spirit.  Let me remember you always by being strong, focus and disciplined.  Be with me Lord, bless me.”

Four questions that lived me to value life more that I learned from Don Juan de Marco Movie:

• What is sacred?
• What is the spirit made?
• What is worth living for
• What worth dying for?

All answers are just the same – only Love.

And from from this day on and the rest of my life, Carpe Diem! This only means rejoice while you are alive, enjoy the day, take the most of what you have and  it is later than you think.

Amazing to know that simple quote like this has been around for thousands of years anecdotes by Horace of Ancient Roman poet 65 BC- 8 BC and still can take half a lifetime to really understand and now put to use.

So hurray in living life to the fullest!

“Don’t feel bad if you already broke your New Year’s Resolutions. Make a New Week’s Resolution and start today.  You can do anything you put your mind and heart to.”

Happy First Blog Anniversary to my dear, dear Live Life Fullest – www.livelifefullest.com.

Remember my ever first post with Live Life Fullest (LLF) – http://livelifefullest.com/2011/01/01/opening-new-book-of-my-life-for-2011/?  LOL  How time flies!  I never expect that I will reach this far.

Yes, setting up a blog or website for me is very, very easy.  But maintaining to keep my content  journal up-to-date is the challenging part.  I was in my comfort zone and every time flied a day, I was a bit guilty for not pursuing regularly my passion to share.  Overall, it is exciting.  I survive for one year!

A new beginning indeed and given I am taking the initial steps to go for another year, I am definitely “IN”!  As long that we are starting and putting our hearts annd mind, it is just ok.

I would like to share with you a quote that I just read about “Beginnings”.

The single most important decision you can make is to begin.

Begin even if you are afraid. Begin even if you don’t know how things will turn out.

Begin ESPECIALLY if you are terrified of beginning.

The only real difference between someone who “made it” and

someone who will always wonder “what’s making it like?” is that

someone who “made it” BEGAN and then NEVER LOOKED BACK.

For the dedicated journeyer – there is no plan B, there is no attachment to outcome, there is no end point.

People who end up living the life of their dreams follow their intuition,

they know that death is coming and act as if today is the day they will meet death.

When you die to your fear’s daily then you can be free.

Free to go on the journey your heart is dying for you to take.

Begin your journey today. No more fear.

No more “what if’s”. No more wondering what its like to be someone who made it.

Don’t worry about making it. Worry about never starting. Start NOW!

~ Written by Mastin Kipp

Yes, I am ready again for new dreams, goals to pursue, hopes and challenges….Absolutely, this will be another great year ahead!

Hopefully, this is the year I will become stronger, braver, kinder and unstoppable. This year I will be fierce. Cheers guys as my one year for blissful year in living life to the fullest will become always a reality.
