Chicken Pesto Sandwich

So this is what I get from watching too much tutorials online lately. Mostly, I watch easy-recipes cooking shows and tutorials. From a few weeks back, I made this sandwich recipe I found online. Yes, click on to the site if you ever plan on making one yourself too. I do admit I did not have any intentions on putting the site here but what the heck, I don't want to be a hypocrite and claim all the genius out of it, so there you have it.

Let's cut to chase and find out the ingredients of this yummy snack! :> Take note though, I did not include specific measurements for these. For one, I don’t make measurements when I cook and two; it’s really just up to you, depending on how many people you’re serving this to.

Ingredients:

Shredded chicken breast

Bread (You can use any kind of bread, heck, even a loaf sold in supermarkets for chrissakes haha), for serving

Cheese, sliced, for serving

Fresh basil leaves, for serving

Greek yogurt, for that creamy taste

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the pesto, you will need the following:

Fresh basil leaves

Pine nuts (I used Cajun peanuts on this recipe because I was short of budget—no not really, I just didn’t want to spend my money on a 400php pine nuts for this one—that’s not something you’d want to try though, so maybe next time.)

Olive oil (you don’t want to be stingy with this one)

Garlic cloves

Grated cheese of your choice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

To make the pesto, combine all the ingredients mentioned above in a food processor (ideal), but in my case I used a blender just because I don’t have one L Hahaha! You might want to add in the dry ingredients first, except for the grated cheese of your choice to the blender. When it’s nicely mixed and done, pulse that blender (or food processor) in, and gradually add your olive oil.

You want to make sure it’s a nice and smooth pesto. When it is, place the mixture on a plate or something and add in the grated cheese. Carefully mix the cheese and the pesto mixture together. I know the instructions on the site I got this recipe from said the cheese can be put altogether in the processor but you’d want to consider this little tip—this makes your pesto taste even much better!

In a large bowl or any container with enough space to fit all your ingredients, combine the pesto, shredded chicken breast and your Greek yogurt, salt and pepper to taste.

Serve these little babies with fresh basil leaves, parsley or arugula, sliced cheese and chicken pesto mixture.

I know it doesn't look yummy like that but hey, I wish you could taste this baby I made. Now this one’s not exactly what my ingredients said. My version doesn't have Greek yogurt in it, the peanuts used were not pine nuts and there were no sliced cheese and arugula when served. I toasted my bread first and laid down the chicken pesto and bam! This was definitely not a bad try after all. Also, who cares? Your sandwich, your rules. So go make your own one and be proud about it (like I am)! Haha

This feat is boring me. Help.

Because mum's always away, I grew up with my father and brother alone. It was hard keeping up and living with guys around. Though my father made sure my brother and I equally shared the household chores, there are still times when I have to finish or even do my brother's work. I was always a homebuddy since forever and often, I'm left alone in our house. I got used to my father not coming home 'til morning because of the nature of his work--it was my brother that irks me whenever he decides to go out and not come home til dawn so naturally, I get to sleep alone. Hmph, laagan. We maintained a small shelter back home, we didn't have yayas and house helpers so basically, we did all the work. Stepmothers come and go, but the three of us always stayed. Now that I'm in Cebu for my studies (still living alone), my brother's got a house and kids of his own while my father.. Well, my father still works right now back in Mindanao. You know when duty calls, you can't say no to that no matter how far that place you're assigned to is. I just remembered that as a kid, I have been surrounded with men and as a kid, I listened to these guys my father and brother listens to. I don't understand much of their songs back then but now that I do, ah, I just know they're brilliant. #throwbackthursday #bread #deeppurple #savagegarden #westlife #creedenceclearwaterrevival #ccr #america #bands #classic It never gets old.

Monday tomorow.

Yes, and I am not just talking about any Mondays. Tomorrow will be the first Monday of my second semester in Law school. What to expect tomorrow? I do not know really except for the possibility of wanting to quit all over again.

Really though, I hope I'll do better this sem.

I've known happiness before but I had to admit I have never been this happy my entire life. You make me hope.

How Fast Are We Going?

We live in a world where we go from zero to sixty in no less than a second of our life. Have you thought about how to spend each of those each night before you sleep? Have you had the thought of carefully anticipating what could happen the day after? I haven't .. until now.

I am not talking about growing up or the big plans for the future. Just picturing what your tomorrow, when you wake up, would be like. Is it gonna be the same old smashing of the alarm clocks, putting your mobile phones to snooze mode after it has awaken you from the great sleep and dream that you're having?

Maybe we do have our routines every morning.

As for me, I picture myself waking up not with alarm buzzes but with a simple yet heart-warming 'good morning' message from a certain someone. It has always been like that for five wonderful months now. I was never fond of exchanging of sweet messages since God-knows-when but I guess I am now ;)

And then what? Where do you go from there? How do you go through the day--how does one end a beautiful or exhausting or shitty day?

Maybe we haven't figured this one out yet, maybe we have. I haven't ... until now.

Losing Grip

10 March 2014 | 22:42

I learned that people were not at all exaggerating when they told me Law school is not going to be for the lack of a better term—a piece of cake. Today, I’ve realized so the hardest possible way.

When I graduated from college, people asked me if I am going to pursue Law school and consistently, my answer was a no-brainer: Of course, right away. True, I have never imagined myself being into something except what I really wanted. For the past four years, being a lawyer was all I ever imagined myself to be. I am thankful enough not to be forced with a course I do not want and even more thankful that going into Law school is not something I’m forced to doing. It was something I was so sure about. So here comes the very semester … I am officially a Law student.

On our Legal Technique and Logic’s first meeting, our professor told us that (although I am paraphrasing here) “Now that you are in Law school, do not expect the following days to be neither sometimes hard nor sometimes easy because here, there are no easy days. Every day is a struggle and a constant battle and inquiry of why did I enroll in Law school in the first place and how am I supposed to keep up.” What a motivation, right? In all fairness to that professor, she was kind enough to warn us about the up and coming hardships and sleepless nights and heavy eye bags and stress and all the worst case that could happen. It was an initial reaction to be terrified of course, but I took the challenge and told myself, “There’s nothing that could beat you from doing what you want. You want this thing, you can definitely do this.” I know right, my inner goddess was at the same time cheering, “Now, that’s the spirit!” Little did I know though, my days in Law school are yet to become meaner.

Heavy books. Mind-blowing (in a boring way) cases. Of course, these were a given. To cut the long story short, I got tired of all the reading and reading and memorizing and comprehending and studying. Our professor was right. I was constantly asking myself every day why I still want to continue doing this .. this thing that I was once so sure about. Every day came without an answer, and just thought that until then, I won't be giving in to the temptation of stopping. Have you ever felt like this before? Like losing your grip, losing your fascination on something you never thought of losing interest in? This definitely feels like it. My enthusiasm for the study of Law has gone from technical to non-existent. I keep asking myself why in seven hells do I lose my interest in Law. Just why.

I am still not sure where this is going but I believe I deserve a snap for courageous efforts on this endeavor. And a wish of good luck would be nice, I need it.

Porn Industry v. Rape Culture

There’s a connection between the porn industry and rape culture that i think people miss most of the time.

Why is it that consent is such a huge issue? because it’s not really learned. one of the first ways men explore sexuality is through porn. do you see any real consent going on in porn? i mean, according to this industry, it doesn’t matter the situation, women want to be fucked. men become ~*swift casanovas*~ and all it takes is some touching. if there’s any resistance, it’s met with unzipped pants and “look at me look at my dick u kno u want it slut”

This leaves an impression on young boys, navigating the awkward beginnings of puberty, wondering how to express themselves sexually and make advances towards their preferred sex. porn gives them a twisted idea of how to go about this, making sex appear to be non-negotiable and some sort of thing they’re entitled to. “she wants it! all women do” is the message that comes across from scenes composed of fake orgasms and over-exaggerated expressions.

So why are people so dumbfounded that intimacy has been this far simplified, that consent doesn’t matter to so many people? there’s an entire booming industry where consent doesn’t even exist

Yet Another Day Out With Friends

My friends and I love spontaneous outings. Most of the time, they'd just call me up and say, "We're outside your apartment, let's go swimming" or "We're waiting for you downstairs, let's go out and eat."

You know how unplanned courses like these always turn out to be the most memorable and fun ones. So the other day, my friends and I went for a quick swim at the pool.

You can never go wrong with lechon manok (roasted chicken) when you feel like swimming. This food never goes out of the list. So for lunch, we had this delicious meal right here. We also had inasal (roasted pig) which I did not take a photo of. Hi hi :>

Of course, what would a 'laag' be if you don't have something to drink and munch. (Sorry, that's my personal choice of something to munch. Yes, Superstix included -_-) The Bacardi and the cigarette isn't mine though :3

But hey, I didn't say I'd pass on this one ;)

I did not stay in the pool for long, so I did all the taking of pictures. But hey, I ain't complaining :D My friends (from l-r) Christian, Jayzell, Mona and new friend Mikko :>

This babe is too adorbs I had to take a stolen shot :'>

Look! The 'super' couple! Jayzell-Mona Forever! Hahahaha :)))

Wellp, it was only almost six in the evening when we decided to take off and go to Kasadya sa SRP .. basically to just have our dinner and try some of the rides there.

Starving, we ate here :>

That's kuya preparing our barbeques .... aaaand

Ta daaaa! Dinner is served! :D Yuuuumm, I know! Hahaha.

Sorry to cut the pictures short. There's really not much after dinner, two of my friends puked after that meal (gross, and hilarious HAHA). It probably was because of the booze we had earlier. Their tummies got upset too. That was really funny though, but damn you, Bacardi.

So yeah, instead of trying out Kasadya's rides after dinner, we went straight home. Lol.

Every part of this excursion was fun and real hard to forget. Looking forward to more trips in the future! :>

Your Person.

12:57 | 26-02-2014

I can be that happy pill you take when you feel hammered from a hard day's work; that favorite song you play during every break from work or when in a passenger vehicle going home, that very song you like so much that it could put you to sleep and just forget about thinking for a moment; pretty much just anything.

Just like the thought of making you want to smile and laugh and feel loved, I also want to be that somebody who will take all your worries away. Worries from the past, fears of the future. More importantly, I want to be just that person you'll live for in the present.

I can be that person. I can be your person.

A Trip Down Memory Lane: College Years

Caveat: This is going to be a long post filled with random photos and here goes the first one..

To start off, can I just make this clear: 1) My given name's Angelie Flor; and more importantly, 2) It's spelled ANGEL + I and E. Yep, it's with a letter E on the end and I do believe it's the best way to spell it. [No offense to all the Angeli's out there]. That's why it really just kind of irritates me when someone misspells my name, like the one's written on this egg.

This photo is some egg I had when my classmates and I had this retreat after our very first semester in college. Our teacher, Miss Tomabang suggested it would be a great way to end the semester.. plus we get to bond and get to know each other some more--so we did! :> The catch was that, before we reach the retreat house, we have to go through some sort of challenges (like pick this thing from this place, or buy this thing from this store, or carry your whole team on your way--though that wasn't part of the challenges and of course, you know I'm just kidding XD) while keeping this egg unbroken. Well yes, I did as I was bid and this egg right here arrived whole, unbroken and fine at the retreat house.

(L-R: Mona, Irene, Maricris, Glace, Jayzell, Me and Clare)

This was a photo op with me and my friends in college during our first Political Science Acquaintance Party together.

Irene and I felt the need to have a photo op with Papa Yapha. Lol, this was during the Freshmen Educational Tour. That's Kuya Jeffrey Anthony Yapha, Carolinian Political Science Society's President then. (We often call him 'Papa Yapha,' not to his face though =D)

This was the retreat house I was talking to you about earlier. I had to crop the bottom portion of this photo cos of some crappy watermark.

(Irene, Me, Joafel and Glace, Rob, Michael)

On our Sophomore year, somebody took this photo on a random Logic class in CAFA. Look! My hair's still short then, but it's a little longer than when in first year, and hey, I got bangs too! (I literally told myself, after seeing all these pictures with me in my ridiculously short hair with bangs, that I'm never going back to those days, not even to those hairstyles. God.)

I forgot who took most of the pictures in this entry. Hi, so I dyed my hair a little bit on this one (but no, I didn't, my mum decided to dye her hair one day and so I did it for her to get rid of the white hairs old people have haha. when it was basically done, she deliberately put some on my hair and I was really, really pissed for what she did.), managed that hilarious bangs, and every time I see this photo of me all I can ever remember is my ex-boyfriend telling me how long my neck is. Not sure if that was a compliment or just a mock. Either way, I rarely do my hair like that now--pony tailed.

That's Ina and me, showing off our finished Student Activities Report :D When I was in my second year in Pol Sci, I was General Secretary and Ina, Under Sec. (Idk what's wrong with my eyes, noticed it too? o.o)

I started playing lawn tennis that year too..

Our third Pol Sci Acquaintance Party ;)

Not really good at billiard pool, but I do enjoy playing it. This one's a picture of me and my Tito playing pool on a Black Saturday :D

More friends...

We've just finished our OJT in this picture. That's Mona and Jayzell with me in the photo, the 'super' couple I know. Been together since our first year in Pol Sci, and still together now that we're in Law School! :>

Jayzell-Mona, Clare and Me :>

What would my college life be without these people? And hey, my cousins (Kathleen and Kristine) included too! :]

And yey! Graduates! :>

Better safe than sorry; better paranoid than dead.

A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts: 1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun, braid or other...
