Lately, bills payments that I've made from UnionBank online to Paymaya have been delayed. I would typically receive my funds in two (2) hours regardless of amount. But in  two separate transactions, I've had to forward my Unionbank confirmation email to Paymaya support:  support@paymaya.com ...to report my missing funds, with the subject, RE: Missing Funds. Take note that I made these payments on a weekday, in the morning. The first time, my money showed up in my Paymaya account two business days after I emailed Paymaya.  The second time happened today... Well, I just emailed them this evening.

My first Japanese-style  curry (カレー) with S&B Golden Curry roux (mild version). There are 2 packs in one box... I used 1 pack with 1/2 kilo pork. It is so rich. It tastes just okay, I was not blown away. I will look for the Vermont brand of Japanese curry to try next time. They say Vermont tastes better than Golden.

Yummy. I'm getting the hang of this. Hot pan, medium heat. Put 250g pork giniling and some water (to prevent it from releasing oil). Break up the meat. Pour in 115g Hunts tomato sauce, 1 cup of water, 2 Tbsps soy sauce, and 115g Dole pineapple tidbits*. (*Drain the pineapple juice into a glass and add lots of ice for a refreshing drink!) Mix well. Turn heat on high. When it boils, turn it down to medium again. Mix and then, simmer for ~15 minutes or until pork is just cooked (add a bit more water if it needs to cook longer) Add 155g green peas. Mix. Simmer for 5 minutes. Taste. Add more soy sauce if needed. Mix and boil ~5 minutes. Done!

I like this one. Not very oily anymore. I think it's getting easier to make. *1/2 kilo pork giniling (Medium heat. Break giniling up in the pan with a *pinch of salt) (But before it browns and "oils out", add as much *water to cover the meat) *115g Hunts tomato sauce (Stir. *1 Tbsp Datu Puti soy sauce. Stir. Boil ~10 minutes) *6 potato marbles, quartered (Add more water to keep everything submerged. Stir. Boil ~8 minutes) *Handful of california raisins *Small can green peas (Stir. Add more water needed to cook potatoes. Turn heat on high. Boil ~5 minutes or until potatoes are just right, not mushy.) (Taste. Add 1 Tbsp soy sauce or more if needed. Stir. Boil on high ~3 minutes.) (Taste. It should be done as pictured above.) Yum.
