our lunch yesterday was fantastic! jeddo and i woke up early to visit the organic market in Legaspi, Makati to buy our ingredients. by 10am, we were at Ninang's place and we didn't waste time to get our hands dirty. we planned to prepare 3 dishes- Special Chicken Inasal, Pesto Pasta and Grilled Corn with Lemon Butter.
cooking for friends is fun. the atmosphere is light, bubbly and relaxed. in no time, we got our chicken swimming in our inasal marinade, our pesto swirling in the food processor and our corn drowning in cold water. jeddo got the grill going for the inasal and i got the bastings ready. after a couple of minutes, the chickens were off to the grill. Ninang's backyard garden smelled of ginger, garlic, lemongrass, calamansi, cane vinegar, margarine and achuete while her kitchen smelled of fresh basil, olive oil, freshly grated parmesan cheese, lemon, butter and long green pepper. wonderful. after all the chickens were grilled, it was the corn's turn. by this time, my pesto pasta is already done and the table is being set. maya-maya lang...kainan na!

i awoke at the sound of my phone ringing. eventhough i hate answering the phone in the middle of my slumber, i still do it because it might be an emergency, for all i know. the caller turned out to be my aunt. she told me that my Electrical and Computer Engineer cousin is leaving for London tomorrow. he got a job in London and he will stay there for a year but we're expecting that he will be gone for quite a while. aunt also told me that my Audio Engineer cousin is extending his stay in New Zealand until the of September but will be applying for another 3-month stay so he can complete his 2007 in NZ. she told me stories about the new business venture of my Computer Programmer cousin in Cabanatuan and that he already left his business in Baguio. aunt and i talked about my uncle in Saudi Arabia and his daughter who's now working in Pampanga, my 2 cousins in United Arab Emirates and my family in Canada.
gone are the days when all of us will have get togethers every birthdays, new years and even death anniversaries of close relatives who passed away to remember the good times with them. we all used to be very tight when our world was still small. as we got older, we began to seek new experiences and new challenges. we began to realize that our talents, skills and potentials are limitless. we began to see that the world isn't small after all.
if i can only scoop each one of them up from where they are so we can all eat, laugh and spend time together, i will...in a heartbeat.

my sister Mikki and i planned to have dinner last night at her new place. she recently moved out and she wants me to check out 2 new things in her life- new boyfriend and new apartment. we were so excited to finally have some "bonding" time. for our dinner, Mikki asked me to cook my oil-based pasta experiment because she misses it. of course i agreed. although she's also going to whip something up for our dinner, i still wanted to bring another dish. when i told this to jeddo, he instantly surfed Food Network and saw a recipe for Chicken with Balsamic Barbeque Sauce. since it sounds delish, we agreed to give it a shot.
jeddo and i went grocery shopping yesterday afternoon to buy the ingredients for the sauce and of course, not to forget, the chicken. for the sauce, here's our checklist:
-balsamic vinegar
-tomato ketchup
-dijon mustard
-worcetershire sauce
-mascovado sugar
-cloves of garlic
-ground pepper
-salt
as soon as we got home, i mixed all the ingredients up to make the sauce and simmered it for about 15 minutes while jeddo started to make the grill hot and ready. ang saya, parang cookout. after 15 minutes, i poured the sauce over the chicken and marinated them for about 5-10 minutes. i can almost hear the chickens thanking me for letting them bathe in glorious balsamic sauce. once the marinating was done, the chicks were off to the grill while i get my pasta ready. after about 30 minutes, both the chicken and the pasta are good to go.

umpisa na ng "ber" months.
i want to start my "ber" month with this song...
"Jing-gam bell, Jing-gam bell
Jing-gam all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one halls open slay
HEY!"
noong 3-taong gulang ako, buong akala ko na 'yan ang lyrics ng Jingle Bell. pero pasok naman di ba? lagyan mo lang ng american accent. hehe.
oh well, malapit na magPasko. luvs it.

once upon a time in a galaxy faraway, whenever Kulas and I would go out on a date, we'd often find ourselves in National Sports Grill in Greenbelt. we'd often order their baby back ribs and barbequed chicken, plus their surfer salad (fresh tuna salad tossed in balsamic vinegar dressing). the last time we ate in NSG was eons ago. kaya na-miss ko si NSG. that's why when i finally got the chance to have dinner last night in GB3 with a good friend, i immediately chose NSG. it was worth it.
Potato Skins- Php245.00

since it's a holiday, my seasonal friends and i decided to have coffee and eventually, dinner in Bonifacio High Street to enjoy each others company and update one another on whatever is new in our lives. and speaking of new, we ate at this fairly new restaurant in BHS which, as my seasonal friends often say, is a more affordable version of TGIF.
introducing Texas Roadhouse Grill.

i watched Bourne Ultimatum last night at Gateway. it was actually my 2nd time to go to gateway but my 1st time to visit their Cineplex. when i got there, Paris J'etaime was being shown. i wanted so much to watch it but as they say "majority wins". Bourne won.

i'm still feeling a little under the weather but i can't stand being quarantined in my own house for another day anymore. so here i am in Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Bonifacio High Street sipping my large Ultimate Mocha and typing away with Edu. right now, there are about 3 more people here with their Macs. luvs it. hehe.
after my entry last august 16, i continued to watch my DVDs.
-Pan's Labyrinth. with its spanish title, El Labirinto del Fauno, this movie by Guillermo del Toro has won 3 oscars. it's the dark version of Alice in Wonderland with little pieces from Harry Potter. it's gruesome, heartless and cruel...i like it. the film is all about the harsh realities of life, the monstrous tendencies of men, the pitiful innocence of children and traitorous nature of life itself. the film made me realize the reason why fairy tales exist. it's a form of escape from reality- just like what Pan said-
And it is said that the Princess returned to her father's kingdom. That she reigned there with justice and a kind heart for many centuries. That she was loved by her people. And that she left behind small traces of her time on Earth, visible only to those who know where to look.
