Alaminos - Bolinao Trip

Wednesday, August 5

This is the first time that my parents allowed me for a long drive trip with my College Friends. They were hesitant at first due to the bad weather but they reconsidered since they know that it will be a last out of town trip with one of my good friend Dang. She brought her dog "OREO" with us so it was super fun, we had a toy! hahaha

FYI: My friend Dang left yesterday for Singapore. I will surely miss her.. :(

Here are some pictures from the trip:

Day 1

Hundred Island Tour

Day 2

Broiled Chicken with Buttered Corn & Carrots

Before my out of town trip I got the chance to cook dinner again. I volunteered myself since my Mom had to teach that day, so I know that she is tired.

I decided to cook Broiled Chicken with Buttered Corn & Carrots.

I marinated the chicken first with soy sauce, brown sugar, catsup, crushed garlic, salt, pepper & paprika for 2 hours. You need to prepare early so that you are sure that the flavor will stick up to the insides of the meat. Broil the chicken for 35-40 minutes or until dark brown in color.












Then I prepared the side dish. First, I blanched the carrots for about 5 minutes. Then I melted about 2 tablespoons of butter on a hot pan. Then I put the blanched carrots, and then the corn. I cooked them for about 5 minutes and then voila.















Bon Apetit! :)

Julie & Julia

Sunday, July 26

Another movie that I cannot wait to see! :)

I found 2 movie posters -which is better?

I personally like the first one better, its funny! And the egg's (egg beater) facial expression is classic! lol



I love both Meryl Streep and Amy Adams so I am really looking forward to watch this film!

And lets not forget that the story is about COOKING! :)

I remember ALMOST buying Dorie Greenspan's book Baking with Julia, but I bought Paris Sweets

instead since I am a huge fan of Parisian Desserts especially the Macarons - which by the way is not found on the book. lol

I have to start saving up now for Baking with Julia! :)




Enjoy the Trailer! :)



* I actually inquired at Le Cordon Bleu France for their Culinary and Baking Courses. Its just that its very expensive to study abroad - but the thought of it excites me! I am not giving up on that idea though, its one of my goals before I die! I am still receiving emails from LCB regarding their programs, and also one time they invited me on a conference in Manila its just unfortunate that I wasn't able to attend because I have classes then.

Centerstage

Saturday, July 25

Ever since MJJ died I have been hearing his songs from the TV and the radio. Then suddenly I hear "The way you make me feel" and I was like, that's one of the songs at the ballet recital in Centerstage. Then I rummaged through my stuffs to look for that movie CD because I suddenly have an "itch" to watch it. The power of MJ's music! :)

I'va watched that movie hundreds of times already, it is one of my favorite films of all time. It made me wonder why didn't my parents enrolled me to a ballet class then? Well maybe because I didn't show any interest in the craft or simply because it is pricey and there are no ballet school near our place. But everytime I watch that film I kept on having that "what if" feeling. *sigh* I must have been dancing with Lisa Macuja-Elizalde by now!

I just tell myself that I'll let my future daugther experience it!
But I won't turn into Mrs. Cummings! :)

Here are some pictures from the movie. Enjoy! :)
