Time of Your Life

By | Tributes, What's New at Starbucks? | 2 Comments

Whenever I hear and see my cousin, Jaime, sing, I want to cry…… it just happens when he comes out and starts to sing……. it’s because he has such a great singing voice… I am so proud to be his cousin…… the songs he chooses to sing are my type of songs and he changes the lyrics to fit the occassion and the person or whoever he is composing the song for so there is so much more meaning…………..I am your fan Jaims!  I will listen to you anytime!

TIME OF YOUR LIFE  

(original lyrics & music by Billie Joe Armstrong – rewritten lyrics by Jaime T. Pineda for the Starbucks pioneer partners 10th anniv dinner celebration) 872128267503_0_bg.jpg 

Ten years gone by so fast, ten years down by the road/Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go/

You’ ve made the best / of these years, so don’t ask why/

It’s not a question, but a lesson learned in time/ 

You started it as pioneers, /and now you’re still alright./

You know you’ve had the time /of your life./

 So take experience and knowledge in your mind/

They’ve helped you grow with pride in good health and good time/

People and memories all changing with style /For what it’s worth / it was worth all the while/ 

You started it as pioneers, and now you’re still alright./

You know you’ve had the time /of your life./ (2x)

Miguel’s Healing Powers

Since Miguel was twelve years old, he was already treating his family and friends.  He did not learn his practice from school, though he did graduate from De La Salle University where he took up Biology as his pre Med.742854086503_0_bg.jpgHis technique is self taught……He does not prescribe any medicines, all his treatments are done with his hands.  That for me is magical healing powers.  He not only invented it, he even named it.  Miguel calls it  Myovasotherapy.  “Myo”means muscle and “vaso” means the circulatory system.   13.jpg  ( Painting made by Miguel’s Mom hanging on his wall- also the family tree of Miguel )He deals with nerves, tendons, ligaments – He treats pains from sports or occupational injuries that occur in all soft tissues- golf elbow, migraines, pulled muscles, Sciatica, Stiff necks, Sprains, Tennis elbow, Tendonitis, TMJD (tempomandibularjoint disorder), Torn Rotator cuffs, frozen shoulders and others but I heard from Vina and Lisa that some girls at the badminton court have themselves treated even if they have no injury…. I wonder why? 🙂

His clinic reminds me of a spa and I like it so much because it is not intimidating, it gives the patient a more relaxed atmosphere…. 

  The true test that his healing powers work is that he is always fully booked.

 Too relaxed? Ronnie came in jeans then had his slippers and shorts brought over when he realized we were sitting on the floor.  For that he deserves another photo 🙂

Bread Pan

By | Household Tips, Yummy! | 4 Comments

I discovered a great idea from my good friend, Rina.  She served a tuna dip with some small bits of bread, it was not a crostini or a melba toast……..it was BREAD PAN by Oishi!  

rinas-dish.jpg

One 45 gram pack costs P 5.75 and the 26 gram pack costs only P 3.50.  Definitely much cheaper than the crostinis you buy packed and much easier than making your own homemade version.  My kids love eating it as a snack even before I discovered what it could be used for other than just a snack.  It is very good with any kind of dip or spread.  It comes in three different flavors:  Buttered Toast, Cheese and Onion and Toasted Garlic

bpnbt.jpgbpnco.jpgbpntg.jpg

I saw something similar in Wellcome convenience store in Hong Kong under the Meiji brand ( japanese brand) but it costs HK$ 9.50 which is around P 60.00. I did not buy it so I was not able to taste it but the photo looked just like Bread Pan.
