I am one happy, happy girl! No, I don't have a new handbag or pair of shoe. Those things, though could may any girl including myself happy, wouldn't make me this giddy. I did some shopping though. I just purchased the fattest, unhealthiest looking pork belly in the supermarket today! Yay! I have been meaning to cook some Humba for months and now is just the perfect day to do it. What could be better than an artery clogging, fatty meat, swimming in caramelized sugar?! This is not for the faint hearted and health conscious. Thankfully, I ain't both. Tsehee!
