Salad

Pan-Fried Scallop & Roasted Sweet Bell Pepper Salad
with Fresh Grapefruit Dressing
I found this presentation from my mom back when she was still studying at ISCHAM almost a couple of years back.  I'm not a food blogger but I can blog about food because I love food!

I decided to post more of these soon so you can also try this at home.  It looks simple, but let me know in the comments after you have actually tried it.

My mom is food genius, every time go back home to Bohol, let's just say expect some weight gain.  Even my dad who is a constant runner can easily gain kilos every time he goes back.  We're happy that she's already started Cake Garden and we're 1000% (that's an extra 0) full support.

Symbolism

Philippine Flag Symbolism Let's be honest now.  How many of you did not know behind the symbols of our national flag?  Just so you know, it is a fact that everybody lies.  Anyway, probably you are wondering why I am posting in such a nationalistic tone when independence day was almost three months behind?  Well, that makes us both.  A thought just struck me when I saw the commercial segment of Juan Time in discovery channel.

Parley

I'm pretty sure you've read James Soriano's infamous article " Language, Learning, Identity, Privilege " which garnered him mostly criticism from people who live in front of their keyboards netizens.  I know some of you are probably making or joining hate pages on Facebook, seriously, grow up.

Kenshin

Rurouni Kenshing Film Official Poster Here is one update that will blow away Rurouni Kenshin fans - a trailer of the live action movie set to be release on August 25, 2012. That is just 2 days away from my birthday, that it is.  Also, visit the official Rurouni Kenshin site here .  So what do you think of the trailer?  Promising, eh?  Sano's Zanbato though is rather small compared to its anime counterpart. Image Source:   natalie R urouni Kenshin is the best anime ever, hands down.  Sorry Bleach and Naruto fan boys and girls but nothing beats the story line and the historic background of RK.  This is the only anime that I am obsessed with and I think so too with others within my generation.  I would want to collect all the OVAs and the Anime series and someday I will pass down to my kids!  Ha!
