Pig Out: Papa John's Pizza

Last December 16, we had our end term/ Christmas party at Cainta Rizal (Mark's place) we only bought roasted chicken, liempo and alcoholic beverages because i was late. HAHA. Every end term, i'm the one in- charge with the cooking but not this time because i need to attend to my training for swimming and some errands. Then we had our drinking sessions and non-stop chitchat til 6 in the morning (imagine that!). As usual we woke up late and decided to go to Jamba Juice but we were caught in a traffic jam so we ended up eating Papa John's Pizza in Robinson's Galleria. And we really had fun and we were so full.

This time, i'm with Dangie, Sam, Lester and Jerson; here's our pic BTW.

MMFF2011: Segunda Mano

Christmas is a very special date for us, we commemorate the birth of Jesus, celebrate it with our family, gift giving, FOODS, and the much awaited Metro Manila Film Festival. So this will be my first blog about entertainment since i started with food blogs and to be honest, i'm really nervous writing a blog about this, well thanks to MC for always there and telling me to try this one out and i did. HAHA. 

MC told me this blogger conference of Segunda Mano in Tea Cup Cafe with Direk Joyce Bernal at 3 pm and as usual i'm late and i think they were at the middle of the conference already but inspite of that i really had fun because Direk Joyce Bernal was so funny. She answered the questions of the bloggers really well plus her humour. 

The Box Office Queen of Horror is back on the big screen with another frightening offering set to bring a different kind of chill this Christmas season. Kris Aquino top-bills the movie Segunda Mano, an entry to this year's Metro Manila Film Festival.

In Segunda Mano, Kris play Mabel Domingo, an owner of a high-class but creepy antique shop. She longs to move on from the guilt after partly causing the death of her younger sister Marie twenty years ago in a tragedy that left their mother devastated.

Meanwhile, Dingdong Dantes plays Ivan Galvez a rich and successful architect recovering from the pain after his wife left him for another man. H e longs to find new love and the right woman who will take care of his young daughter.

Mabel and Ivan's path will cross and they will eventually fall in love. But when Ivan proposes marriage, Mabel experiences chilling encounters with a violent ghost that wrecks havoc on her and the people around her. Terror instantly escalates and leads to an unexpected twist that will put Mabel's live for Ivan to the perilous test.

Angelica Panganiban joins the cast in yet another compelling performance of her career. Horror is not a new genre to the acting goddess, but in Segunda Mano, she will treat the audience to a big surprise. What role will she play in the haunted relationship of Mabel and Ivan? Will she be an ally or foe? Viewers will be left guessing until the end of the film.

Making her big screen comeback via Segunda Mano is Ms. Helen Gamboa. The multi-awarded movie queen plays Mabel's mother Adela, a portrayal that audiences should definitely watch out for. After the tragic death of her younger daughter Marie, Adela grieved so much that she unintentionally affection for Mabel. But now that Mabel is haunted by seemingly vengeful ghost, Adela knows that she cannot stand to lose her remaining daughter. Is Adela ready to make the ultimate sacrifice to save Mabel?

Coming from three previous box-office horror films namely Feng Shui, Sukob, and Dalaw, Kris promises her audience a totally different movie experience. Segunda Mano is produced by Star Cinema and MJM Productions. At the helm is by renowned director Joyce Bernal based on the screenplay written by Joel Mercado. The movie also stars Bangs Garcia, Ian Veneracion, Rico Blanco, and Jhong Hilario.

Be sure to catch Segunda Mano opening in theaters nationwide on December 25. Log on to www.SegundaManoMovie.ph for more exclusive contents from the film.

My mom's Lomi

So this is my first time to share my recipe and i'm hoping that you'll try this at home. I learned this dish thru my mom when i was 13 years old. This is our favorite dish especially when there's a "padasal" and will serve as our merienda paired with Puto or any "kakanin"

This dish is very easy to do and you can easily find the ingredients of this dish on your favorite supermarket.

INGRIDIENTS:

Tofu (diced then fried)

garlic (chopped)

onion (chopped)

pork (any part will do, boiled then cut into pieces)

lomi noodles (washed)

celery (chopped)

carrots (julienne)

eggs 

flour

calamansi

fish sauce

bouillon cube (pork)

SUPER EASY STEPS:

1. Saute the onion, garlic and celery. Then put the boiled pork and carrots

2. When the pork stalk is boiling, put the lomi noodles, bouillon cube and the sauteed ingredients and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

3. Beat the eggs and put it onto the pot.

4. Dissolve about 2 tablespoons of flour and pour it onto the pot.

5. Add salt and pepper to taste.

6. You may serve now the dish with fish sauce and calamansi on the side.

7. Enjoy your lomi.

Until next time,
