He Said, She Said

OK, so girl and boy meet, dated, perhaps somewhere along the road, they fell in love?! Who knows, right? But if things don't work out, , next thing we know, Adam and Eve are now living in splitsville, and both parties just ended up having some (mostly tons,lol) sour, and I mean like genetically enhanced vinegar sour memories. Although, some go on their separate ways and remain friends.

This is how it all started..........He Said:


When he's still a mere stalker:

PJ & Duncan - All I Have To Do Is Dream

And when he finally get his balls:

Jets - Are You Gonna Be My Girl?

Then, once he gets her (not the "under her skirt" way, oh wel, who am I fooling?!):

Michael Buble - Crazy Love

And if things go ugly,this will be the finale:

Harry Nilsson - You're Breaking My Heart

What a piece of pompous prick! Boys will always be boys :)

Now, She Said:

When she's still ogling and drooling over him from far away, lol!:

Still day dreaming about him:

Gloria Gaynor - Can't Take My Eyes Of You

And when he gets his attention, she will play a "little hard to get", of course!:

Crush - Jennifer Paige

When she finally catches her prey (bwahahahha), she will either starts her torrents of dramas, or she'll go all the way and give it all:

Madonna - Crazy For You

Then when things turns out like apple cider, this will be her getback :

Alanis Morisette - You Oughta Know

And since she's acting like a diva, she still needs to deliver her final piece:

Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive

But, of course like I said, there are some that ended peacefully,so:

He Said:

Brian McKnight - One Last Cry

Finally, She Said:

Lara Fabian - Broken Vow

So, there you go. Brief but concise! The ladies will always have tons of things to say, so guys DEAL WITH IT! LOL!

The Nun's Lambada

Kaoma-Lambada

Who among you attended a Catholic high school? If you're one of them, then you can surely relate to this post,lol! This classic,hip and chic Brazilian song was a sensation when I was in high school. Everybody just can't resist to sway and swag every time Lambada is being played. However, in my nazi driven Catholic high school, this song was banned! The control freak nuns went hay-wired and condemned this song, saying that Lambada promotes nothing but SEXUALLY MALICIOUS INTENT!DUH! Just like the penguins, don't miss with the nuns,lol! Better obey or be squared! None the less, Lambada reminds me a lot of happy childhood memories :)

Pad Thai for Beginners

What would it take for a noodle gaga like me? Simple, just dare to cook all those noodle varieties available. From pansit bihon to pansit palabok, Italian spaghetti to Korean jab chae. Heck, even from instant ramen to the unbeatable instant pancit canton, I tried it all and dig it :) Come to think of it, I survived my college days by eating instant noodles. Yes, the lazy way of just putting hot water, and viola, you have a hot serving of a hearty noodle. But since I got married, cooking the instant way has to change, or else my husband will disown me,LOL! I'd been eating noodles since time immemorial, in which the amount of noodles I'd eaten could encircle the globe to-and-fro beating Michael Palen, hahahaha! So, this time, I dare myself to cook the famous Pad Thai. I had never cooked Pad Thai, and I always wanted to learn how to do it. At first, I was really intimidated, but after reading some blogs and articles, I conditioned myself not to back out.

One of the best blogs that I find very helpful on how to cook Pad Thai for beginners, is Chez Pim's blog. In there, she thoroughly explained everything up to the last bits and pieces of ingredients, procedures, and even cooking tips. The article is a long read, but trust me, it's worth your time. When you're done reading it, I can assure you that you are now fully equipped on how to make your very first and own Pad Thai, just like me :) Good luck on your Pad Thai quest, and soon enough, you'll forget about take out!

Sio Pao (Filipino Steamed Buns)

Sio Pao (pronounced as "shopaw") is a popular snack in the Phillipines, and has always been an all time fave of mine. It's usually filled with a meaty filling flavors like asado or guisado, but the mung bean and ube filling sio pao will always be the best for me. I already did a previous post on how to make sio pao with ube filling (click here), only this time I'm posting about the veggie filling, but the dough recipe is the same.

A journey to a place unknown
We're going down in history
Earthquakes can't shake us (oh)
Cyclones can't break us (oh)
Hurricanes can't take away our love

Pyramid, we built this on a solid rock (hey!)

Mexican Horchata

The hubby was so fascinated with this exotic refreshment while we we're having one of our bon-a-petite dinner in one of Tampa's famous vegan resto. When we got home, he went straight to our pantry and checked if we have the ingredients. A few minutes later, he started boiling,blanching, and working out the blender. The next day, he continued with his gastric driven enchantment, and viola! His very first home made horchata is ready to satisfy his quench, and of course, I was enjoying it too :) Summer is coming, and I bet you'll gonna love this Mexican delight.

For the recipe and procedures, we got it from gourmetsleuth.com.

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons rice
6 ounces (about 1 1/4 cups) blanched almonds
1 inch cinnamon stick (canella)
3 "2-inch" strips of lime zest (rind only, not the white pithy part) 3/4" long
1 cup white granulated sugar

 Procedure:

Pulverize the rice using a metate y mano or your blender.  Grind the mixture as smooth as possible. Combine the rice with the almonds, cinnamon and lime zest. Stir in 2 1/4 cups hot tap water then cover and let the mixture stand overnight (minimally 6 hours).

Place the mixture in the blender jar and blend for at least 3 - 5 minutes until the mixture is smooth and no long has a gritty texture. Add 2 cups of water and blend again for just a few seconds.  Place a large sieve over a mixing bowl.  Line the sieve with 3 layers of damp cheesecloth.  Pour in the rice mixture, a little at a time and keep stirring to help the mixture go through the sieve.  Once all the liquid has passed through to the bowl gather the cloth together at the top, give it a twist and squeeze out any additional liquid.

Now add 2 more cups of water and stir in as much sugar as you'd like, to taste. If the mixture is too thick, add some additional water.

Cover and refrigerate. The drink should keep several days, refrigerated.
Serve in a tall glass over ice.
