For your eyes only

Have you seen the Sex and the City episode where Samantha was planning to surprise her gorgeous boyfriend, Smith (drool…) for Valentine’s Day? What she did was really sweet on her own way. If you are a fan of Sex and the City like me, then you would understand what I am saying. Anyway, on the said scene, Samantha surprised Smith by putting sushi all over her body, while lying naked on top of their dining table. It is a really sensual scene, so you may want to watch it when kids are already asleep. The reason why I ask this is to provide you readers some idea of how you can keep the fire going. It really is important to give an extra hand on everything especially in your personal relationship. So, for those who want the same effect that Samantha had on the beautiful and oh so hot Smith Jarred, here’s what you can do.

First: Get a lot of sushi. Well, it depends on what parts of your body you want to cover it with. (I think the less the merrier? J )

Second: If you don’t want to buy sushi then let’s make ‘em shall we?

How to make sushi:

Step 1

Prepare the materials. What you’ll need is a bamboo mat, a large bowl and spatula (wooden would be better) and a super sharp knife.

Step 2

Prepare the ingredients. You need lots of Nori, 12 cups of uncooked short grain rice, 3 liters of water, 1 ½ cup vinegar, 160g of sugar and 100g of salt. For the filling, you can choose among salmon, crab stick, cucumber, avocado or chicken. You can mix and match according to your taste. Just make sure to check for the quality of the salmon or any raw fish you’re using.

Step 3

Prepare the rice for cooking by washing it thoroughly with water. After this step, put the rice in a shallow pan or rice cooker then put the 3 liters of water. Let it sit first for half an hour to an hour before putting it on a stove. Allow it to cook. While waiting for the rice to cook, you may now combine the vinegar, salt and sugar in a small bowl. Once the rice is done then you would need to let it cool for a little bit or approximately 15 mins.  You can now combine the vinegar mix with the rice using the material you have prepared.

Step 4

Lay the nori on top of the bamboo mat. Make sure the shiny side is on the mat. To avoid the rice from sticking on your fingers, you may use water. Place enough rice on the nori. You may leave just a tiny space on both sides of the nori. Put the filling of your choice in the middle of the rice. Slightly grip the edge of the mat and slowly roll it away from you. Gently squeeze the roll to make a rectangle shape. Lastly, place the sushi roll on a clean and dry chopping board and cut the sushi into 2cm slices.

Serve and go crazy! (if you know what i mean :) )

The Great Solution To Your Heart Problem

Is your partner cheating on you? Have you been left to suffer on your own, without anyone to help you including your love ones? Is your relationship going down the drain? Let me tell you this. No one can help you but yourself. DO NOT wait for others to bring back that smile on your face again. Be your own happiness.

 Here's what you need to do.

• Think beautiful

You don't have to be a supermodel or the most beautiful girl/boy in the planet, that title is already taken. You just have to act like it. Attractive men and women have 1 thing in common. They are confident. They don't take shit from anyone because they know they are capable of doing anything they want and get away with it. That is one factor you have to learn if you want to be irresistible to your partner.

• Be bold

Say what you want and do what you want. Let me ask you something, would you be interested in someone if that person is so predictable? Would you exert an effort on a girl or a boy if you already know how they tick? HECK NO! You do not want to be that person. You have to ALWAYS add spice in your relationship. Relationships should never be boring or else, you might as well expect the worse. Sad but true.

• Eat 

Yup, you read it right. To those who are broken-hearted, please please please try to eat. Do not starve yourself just because your girlfriend or boyfriend of 10 years left you for someone else. As you may probably notice, I am a fan of comfort foods and food reward. This is because of the fact that I have tested its effect and food can definitely bring your heart comfort. You, of all people are the ones who need a lot of strength. Starvation will not only make you weak, but it would also make you look old and wrinkly. Please stay healthy especially during bad times. It may be hard, but you have got to do it.  

All these are very much effective if done the right way and the right amount only.

Hope this helps :) xoxo Sisig Master

Once a cheater always a cheater

I'm sure a lot have heard of the saying " Once a cheater, always a cheater". Don't be mad but, I respectfully disagree. I am once a cheater, I have dated a cheater, I have a friend who is a cheater and so on. My experiences do not make me a relationship expert, but my views on things are most of the time right on the target. For this post, I believe that a person will only cheat because he or she is looking for something more. I am sorry to tell you guys, but most of the time, the partner who has been cheated on is one of the reasons or on some cases, the biggest cause of their problem. A person would never cheat just because they are a cheater. Nobody is a cheater unless triggered to be so. This is a hard fact that most who are left by their partner. Sad but you have to accept the fact that it is your fault to. That way, you can easily move on and try to learn from it even if it's the hardest thing you'll ever do. - xoxo your sisig master

Food to the rescue!

A slice of a rich chocolate cake after a nasty break up, a pint of pistachio & cashew ice cream while crying your heart out and a box full of chocolates to carry around while mending your heart. Like most people, I too have been in and out of a relationship and seek refuge to food, especially the ones I do not usually eat coz t makes me fat. Now, the question here is: What's with that? Why do people who are trying hard to recover from bad break ups, easily surrender to food cravings? Let's research shall we?

One article said that a study on the World War II prisoners took place during the 1960's.  The author said that those prisoners ended up ill because of severe depression, and their current state is mainly caused by stress and hunger. So, basing only on that single article, food really affects the body as well as the mind. If food has negative effect once deprived of it, then in some cases it may also have the power to relieve a person’s sadness or anxiety. We all know that everything is a two way street right? There are pros and cons, bad and good, positive and negative and so on. Furthermore, on food and its psychological effect on people, I firmly believe that it does help.This is due to the fact that I have done it quite often when I was young and stupid enough to have my heart broken.(FYI, I don't need it anymore since I am quite certain my heart is safe, for now. :)) And to those who will oppose my opinion, try it first or ask a friend who has encountered a broken heart. I am quite sure, a lot would agree that something as simple as golden brown french fries can turn your bad day into a great one! Care to test my theory? Hope not. 

My very own food list to ease your pain:

French Fries

chocolate cake

box of chocolates

Sisig and beer combination

Ice cream!!

Now I'm officially hungry! Till next time people - xoxo your Sisig Master

My Thoughts on Food Reward

There is a friend of mine who posted a statement on Facebook about food reward on people. Well, it had me thinking about how most of my friends actually do eat anything they want, especially chocolates, ice cream and the likes, as a reward for accomplishing something at work or at home. I, for instance, from time to time would have to purchase expensive junk foods that I don’t normally buy or drink frappe after finishing a task or after completing a goal.  Another example is one of our customers at Sisig Master who buys Sisig from us every single day just because his pregnant wife is craving it and he is not allowed to go home without it (This really is a cute story by the way, and so sweet of him to do it for his wife). Lastly, a friend who’s on a diet would eat anything tasty or highly palatable for a day just because she’s stressed out or because she’s very happy about something.

 As I research about this topic on Google, most results on food reward is connected to obesity, being fit and unwanted fat. Well well well, not that I did not expect it, but bingeing on tasty delicacies would obviously result to unwelcome fats right? If you are eating just because it signifies a reward, you are not likely hungry but just craving for something sweet, sour etc. Your goal is not to satisfy hunger but just to have the pleasure of eating your preferred food on that very moment. Most foods that would come to mind are junk foods, fast foods, chocolates, ice cream etc. I am not an expert on food science, but I am speaking based on my own experience. And I am quite sure a lot would agree that eating those that are considered "bawal" gives a certain satisfaction to a person. I have heard so many stories and seen a lot of movies who shows a broken hearted girl digging on a pint of creamy vanilla ice cream with her girlfriends who are consoling her. ( I sometimes do it too!) 

I may have no hard proof on how food reward causes obesity but, all I know for sure is it does help relieve sadness that one feels or make each victory a lot more sweeter. Anyway, its connection on obesity may be accurate but, I can only think of one thing. Food! You can always eat what you want but keep in mind to take it reasonably and moderately. It's hard, I know, but it doesn't mean it's not doable. Promise! xoxo your Sisig Master
