The Sunday Plan B

As a person, I am a bit of a planner. If you know me well enough, you'd know that I don't like surprises.

For today, I have charted out a plan for my goal to be productive. The plan? Attend yoga by 7am. Attend 9am mass at Greenbelt afterwards. Then, claim my P500-worth Cheesecake, Etc. cheesecake at Glorietta. Go back home after the morning Makati trip to watch some TV, do some laundry, and whatsoever.

Unfortunately, I accidentally set a 5:35PM alarm which made me miss my 7am Yoga class. And like a domino effect, all morning madness that I planned is gone. As a wise person and still a good and creative planner, I came up with a contigency plan. And that plan B is to have a DIY yoga session, attend a mass nearby, go to market to buy some food for the week, watch some TV, do some laundry and so on.

At this moment, I was able to do the DIY yoga at home. One point for me! :) But I should admit... It was not as good as it should have been when I attended the real class at Makati. Hehe. Really, it's better to have an instructor to think of the poses and guide us as we stretch out our legs and tighten our muscles than to surf the net to check out possible yoga poses for a DIY session. (Stop complaining now.) I think I was able to find good sites online that helped with my plan B. At first, I stumbled upon yogajournal.com which showed pictures of the poses. It was good, I reckon. Not that I thought yogajournal's poses are too easy for me, but I tried searching for more poses and found out about abc-of-yoga.com. What's nice on this site was the animation inclusion on each pose. People like me would understand a triangle pose better with this animation. It is easier to load as well than having videos. :) Maybe you should try this at home, too. Let me know how it goes. :)

Now, it's time to proceed with the rest of my plan B. Happy Sunday, everyone!

Learning and Eating Live

Just after posting about Idol Sa Kusina a few weeks ago, I followed the show on twitter. If you read my first blog about the show, you'd know that I wished to be part of the audience. Well, I haven't been part of the live audience yet. But the show tweeted that we'd just need to send our intent to be part of the live audience by sending information and request to idolsakusina@gmanetwork.com or idolsakusina@yahoo.com. This sounds like a plan to me. :)

Blogging Resumed

After I have published my first post on this blog for this month, I noticed that the last time I wrote something was last January. Wow. Was I that occupied for the past months? Haha.

A New Fave Cooking Show

I just discovered a new cooking show which easily caught my attention and interest. I'll be honest--it has taken over Quick Fire as my favorite cooking show.

The host of Idol Sa Kusina, the new favorite cooking show of mine on GMA News TV (Sunday Nights), tries a funny act while teaching and demonstrating cooking. But that doesn't really entertain me. What really catches me is the fact that I get to learn something from the show. On the first episode that I was able to watch, which was last week, I learned the process of blanching and the use of baking soda or sodium bicarbonate (Yes, even the scientific name stuck in my mind. See how effective?) to tenderize the meat. What's more, you get the hype that you want to try to cook the gourmet dishes the chef teaches on the show (and eat them afterwards!).

It's really fun you know. You learn. Then every after a dish is cooked, you drool and wish you were part of the audience who gets to taste the dishes taught on every episode.
