My version of oyster cake

.

 Clean oyster (use smaller oyster) and remove any shell attach to it you need 1 egg , onion (it better to use the chinese chives those that still have onion bulb and the leave are flat unlike spring onion can be found in Arranque market much fragrant), grated ginger and kamote flour, soy sauce if you like add toque or bean sprout.

Put everything in a bowl and mix together, since my family don't like to put toque it's all oyster.

The consistency will be like this as the kamote flour will absorb any liquid the oyster will produce and help the ingredients stick together.

  Then add egg to the mixture but do not overmix them so that the kamote flour still bind with the ingredients.

   This is how it will look when cooking. If you have difficulty in turning the omelet slide them first to a plate then put the pan on top of the plate and invert it.

     This will be the finish product you can use sweet chili sauce as the chinese restaurant as condiment.

  Since I don't like measuring and every people have different taste buds, if unsure try cooking a small piece of the oyster cake then adjust to your preferences.

November 2010 International Expo Bazaar at the PICC complex

 The above picture are display from Holland and there are also flower from Holland that are being sold by the Holland embassy. Too many embassy and too many people looking for products and too crowded to take a picture

 This lady is working on different peg to make intricate lace pattern and they are from the Belguim nun exhibit.

 The nice stuff Koala bear from the Australian Embassy and they also sale the BERRI brand of juice. Some product sold at the International Expo can be cheap and can also be expensive so if you're planning to go this year check out their product in Greenhills so that you have an idea if the price is reasonable for consumer.

                                        The beautifully carve chess pieces in different era

If planning to visit the International Expo Bazaar inquire with the Department of Foreign Affair when the exact schedule will be but it will definitely be in November and always at PICC.

This is the lobby the staff are nice the only problem is that it's hot no air conditioning. I don't know if because they are upgrading their generator

In the lobby there is also the guest relation desk. The only complain is that there is few sitting area just this 2 seat in this whole lobby area. Hope then add more. Because while I was waiting a wedding entourage is in the lobby nowhere to find a chair to seat on.

This is the view from the lobby to where the rooms are. Really picturesque and nice lighting from the sun cost efficient

Start of my journey to learn computer

During our time at high school and college there were still n no computer. But really try to learn from it gradually. When my kids started school I don't get a tutor my only way to help them is by buying a PC and a printer. I try to input all the available question in their past test paper and review it to avoid duplicity. On the day before the exam I have it printed and let them answer it. If there is more error in my so called test. I printed it again. This way they do not have to review the old test paper and books as the test I made has been compiled and they can used it for their review in school.

When my children are starting to use computer in High School I have my old computer upgraded for their use. And it is during this period that I was unable to use any computer. And now that they are all have works they can now afford their own PC and Laptop. I start trying to acquaint myself on using the computer.

Maybe by accident I stumble upon a contest for Nescafe Gold and ask my daughter to enter it on my behalf since I hardly went out to eat outside Manila. Which also by coincidence we won P3,000 Gift certificate from Miss Dessert. Which I share it with my sister and daughter last year.

With my daughter being busy at work I try to learn to use the internet gradually. And since some network started promoting their contest at the internet I try to learn some of the trick. I learn how to upload the picture which in turn I try to join my granddaughter at a contest by QTV. And she won a Photo Shoot with Nicolo Cosme.

Start of my journey in joining internet contest

Since I am almost near the semi retirement and while all the kids are all grown up and I had nothing to do I started joinging contest and promo at the internet and as we can say luck is on my side. Last year I won a P3,000 Gift certificate (from Miss Dessert) from Spot.ph care of Nescafe Gold Coffee for the Dessert Category(Hope I have taken a picture of it.

Have try to encourage some of my family to join as I wanted them to also enjoy the blessing I gotten. My younger sister was then very pessimistic about joining the contest. But when she finally did win she try to join every contest and freebie even if the prizes is not worth the transportation cost.
