Do you food budget?



Hi everybody!! Ok I have a question. I am wondering if any of you make a budget for food. Why do I ask? well because I went on yahoo answers and I saw a question that someone posted and it read as follows... "Do you budget on food?
I like food. I tend to eat certain food without considering the price. I have spent a lot this month. So how?"

My answer to this question was this..."well even if you budget or not, when ur hungry and you've spent ur food money already on food you already ate, ur gonna get some more money and go buy some more food. hunger is hunger and you shouldnt budget hunger. If ur hungry then buy some food and eat. dont splurge when ur not hungry but buying enough is just fine but i wouldnt put a budget on myself cuz when it come to hunger ur gonna spend more money weather u used ur food allowance or not. so it being a life necessity, I say ur fine. just try to stay off the snacks and stuff you dont need. stick to essential and you'll be fine and wont even need a budget".

I got voted best answer so now I want to know what your position on food budgeting is.

Thank you all for ur support

I'd be lying if i said i didnt have a group of the most amazing friends in the world from around the globe.
I'd be lying if I said I have no friends in china, singapore,U.S.,japan, greece, france,etc... and I am more than grateful to have all of you guys on my blog and so grateful for all ur support so THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!! you guys mean the world to me seriously. thank you for letting me know I can count on you all for support when i am feeling at my lowest. I feel almost fully recovered from this whole situation and I have you guys to thank for it. so THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! OK my regular posting will resume soon!! so stick around for new posts. again thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!

new movies for me!! YAY!!


Ok so remember I told you I bought my new bed? well that same day I was passing by a blockbuster that was going out of business and they had dvds up to 50% off so I had to go in. I bought two movies one is called. "god is great but I am not" starring Audrey Tautou (we know her from Amelie) but I was excited to get this movie because it's before she did Amelie. this movie is basically a girl who falls in love with a guy who happens to be Jewish so when she finds out he's Jewish, she becomes obsessed with Judaism and attempts to convert after studying the religion. I haven't watched it yet but since it's my day off tda I will. LOL. Next movie is called Dans Paris and I am happy because I can now understand some french LOL thanx to my french class book and my boss who's french and is oh so kind to spend long periods of time with me making sure I understand french. So thank you very very very much! Anyway Dans Paris is about a man who has become depressed due to the break up of him and his girlfriend and moves back home to Paris to live with is divorced father and womanizing, slacking younger brother. his father and brother try to cheer him up with women, wine and home cooked meals but nothing works. One night when the father and son bring home a woman for the depressed son to entertain he begins to realize that family and the pursuit of love are always worth the fight. sound interesting to me. but i haven't watched this one either so I will also watch it today and catch up on a lot of my french homework that i missed out on while in Mexico. I just love it when I get a bargain on a movie. LOL

Apple tart


My apple tart at work sells A LOT so one day I decided to just make a bunch of them so I wont have to keep making them everyday so I made a lot and took a picture of it LOL it looked pretty cool because they were still raw and I spread them all over the table before putting them in the oven because I thought it would make a great picture LOL





Free sushi roll!!!


When I went with my friend Amina to go watch Alice in Wonderland which was GREAT btw, we headed to Mishima before the movie to have us some noodle soup. Amina had hung on to a free sushi roll coupon from like a few weeks before that we were given while dining there. Finally we used it and I was surprised that Amina had it because I know I would have lost it for sure. LOL anyway we ordered a veggie roll and it was delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in this picture we had already eaten a piece each. LOL it was a rainy day outside that day and we were enjoying some nice hot udon noodle soup, water, hot green tea and a free veggie sushi roll!!! I LOVE mishima. Good times!!

crazy weather



a few weeks ago we had rain here in the morning and that afternoon it was really hot. AS I was leaving work and looked at the sky from the parking lot, I saw a rainbow with downtown L.A. way in the back and had to snap a picture to show you guys LOL enjoy!

Ok so I promised I'd check on Laila and let you all know how she's doing. Well she says she's doing GREAT so there you have it. LOL Laila's doing GREAT. LOL

breast milk cheese?

A New York city chef found himself with a bit of a problem after his wife gave birth to their beautiful baby girl. What was the problem? they ended up with too much breast milk. The chef didnt want to throw it away so what did he do? He put his chef skills to work and made cheese from his wife's breast milk. He invited some friends over for a tasting and some actually liked it others didnt see a difference but it is said that breast milk does have a sweeter taste to it. I would like to know, would you guys try human breast milk cheese? This chef is also creating a recipe for breast milk gelato. so what do you guys think? would you give it a try? here's the vid. ENJOY!!

BACK HOME!!!

Hi guys!!! I am back home from mexico!! ahhh feels good to be back. ok here's the deal. remember I said I'd take tons of pictures in mexico? well guess what? I couldnt. I was feeling really sick and ready to faint so I was taken to the hospital and I had to go back and forth when my doctor started his shift at four. anyway they drew blood from me and did a urine test as well. turns out I am anemic. I was told I need to eat more and have a well balanced diet. I lack iron and have very low levels of some essential body fluids I guess. IDK anyway my entire trip was me going back and forth to the hospital and it totally sucked. I didnt get to go out and hit the town.... so I saw nothing in mexico except the inside of the doctor's office. Yeah I know. sucks right? anyway I am back and ready to get dressed for work. I dont really feel like going yet. LOL but whatever. I'll have some more posts for you when I get back home. Thanx for stopping by even though you knew id be gone. that means a lot to me. Thank you all!!! k I'll see you in a bit!

Alice in Wonderland


I am sooooooooooooooooo very tired!!! last night my friend and I went to go see Alice in wonderland but the problem was that we wanted to watch it in 3d. All the 3D showtimes were sold out until 10pm. that was kind of late for us considering the movie is about two hours long which would have us be outta the movie theater by midnight. We had to work the next day and we decided to watch it anyway. I invited my boss to come join us and he did. It was raining and cold and I was wearing flip flops!! my feet were cold and wet. I went back to the restaurant to get my shoes and socks and an extra sweater (yes I practically live there LOL) and off to a bar we went while we waited for the time to come to watch the movie. My boss got drunk even though he says he was buzzed I know he was drunk. LOL my friend and I were completely sober. she had two beers and I had a soy chai late from starbucks LOL!!! I was cold so the last thing I wanted was cold beer! Anyway the movie was sold out for both 3D and non 3D. luckily we bought our tickets early evening to watch it at night and three minutes after we bought ours, Alice and wonderland was officially sold out for the day and night so we were lucky. Anyway we enjoyed the movie in 3D. It was wonderful except I wanted a different ending for the mad hatter. LOL Anyway if you havent watched the movie, it's a must see!!

John Pinette comedy France & Italy

John Pinette comedy

This guy is absolutely hilarious talking about water rides at water parks ha ha ha ha ha ha he's hilarious!! LOVE this guy!!

New Phone!!

Ok so my phone got wet and I waited for it to dry because when I tried to charge it, it would tell me that it's being charged but in reality it never charged at all. So my phone was broken and it sounded muffled when someone called me or and also I sounded very muffled to the person calling me so I bought a $79 blue tooth (ear piece) in order to hear my caller more clearly and for them to hear me clearly as well but I lost it. so yesterday I bought a new phone.... $300. And I try my old phone again and it works!!! grrrrrrrr but that's ok because my new phone is an updated version of my old phone but at least I can hear crystal clear now through my phone and my caller can hear me very clear too. So I am happy. I'll post my pictures soon so hang tight. Oh btw! Johnny Depp's new movie Alice in Wonderland comes out in theaters tomorrow and you bet I am gonna be there to watch it!! I am so excited about this movie. OK here's the trailer. ENJOY!!!!!!!!
