No frills leche flan
December 31, 2007
Leche flan is a favorite dessert that is ever present in many Filipino families’ dinner tables. This is especially true during special occasions, like Christmas.
I myself do not care what occasion it is or even if there is one, I just love leche flan that I find myself cooking it many times in a year.
There are many variations to cooking leche flan. I have tasted many different kinds throughout the years but only to come back to my mother’s recipe. Hers is a tedious and tiring process so I will just share the quick, no frills way to a similar tasting dessert.
An Open Letter to an Asshole and New Year’s Resolutions
December 31, 2007
To the Asshole who shutdown my computer,
Hi! How does this day find you? I hope you get hit by a fucking bus today. Thanks to your little activity, I have lost several important files that I was working on. Sure, MS Excel has this recovery thing, but that didn’t save all of it! What’s worse is that you didn’t even fucking call me about it. My phone number’s all over my email signature. It’s even in the directory. You just left a little gay note. You even used my post-it. Asshole. I bet you used my pen too, huh?

Top 100 Songs of 2007
December 31, 2007
“To the left, to the left,†the most memorable line, the line which made a lot of people get an LSS (Last Song Syndrome) the night when Beyonce performed here in Manila. And yes, Ed was there too so I must be a witness. =)
Not only that. I also remember the day when my younger sister uttered this line: “ella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh.†It was kinda annoying at first and funny at the same time until I figured out that it has become really popular among children and adults as well.
So what do I wanna tell you now? No, it’s not all about the rivalry issue between Rihanna and Beyonce. It’s just that these two artists grabbed the top spots in the Top 100 Songs of 2007.

The side of a choosy Taxi driver (who refuses to take passengers for a ride)
December 30, 2007
We see them on the streets 24/7. They have one of the riskiest jobs as they are likely to encounter merciless bad elements lurking everywhere. There are sure fateful scenarios they might end up aside from being involved in a vehicular accident. Its either they’ll be held up by people pretending to be commuter, receive multiple jabs from an intoxicated Mr. Excitement (Bong Alvarez, that is) who accuses them of being led to the wrong direction, or worst, be left inside their cab dead bathed with blood all over the body.
Familiar scene?

Banoffee pie of Red Ribbon
December 30, 2007
Its funny how a lot of people mistake “banoffee” as being made up of banana and coffee. I can only say that it is primarily due to how the word banoffee is pronounced that is causing this confusion.
Banoffee is actually a dessert made of bananas, cream and toffee on a base made of pastry or crumbs of graham or biscuits. That is the foundation of the delicious dessert but can be enhanced to contain nuts, chocolate, or yes, even coffee. So the term Banoffee is really a word combined from “banana” and “toffee”. If only people here pronounced it correctly as banofi rather than banowfi. Even the Red Ribbon commercial says it incorrectly.
Bubba Gump
December 30, 2007
“Run Forrest run!”
They have shrimps, pasta and barbecues… but we didn’t really go there because of the food. We chose to have our dinner at Bubba Gump because of our (my?) love for Forrest Gump (and Tom Hanks).
Oh. But the food is great as well. =)

(Advance) Happy new year to everybody!
Conversations With An A-hole
December 29, 2007
New theme, new post. I wanted to rant about the asshole who created this new theme that I’m using. What’s more is that I’d like to have a conversation with him and tell him personally what sucks in his theme. Because I’m too lazy to contact him, and because email is not personal (duh?!). Also, that girl in the picture is… Read on.
On Benazir Bhuto’s Assassination
December 29, 2007
The news of Benazir Bhutto’s murder first came to me through a text message from my philosophy student friend Dada on the same evening of the Pakistani opposition leader’s assassination in Rawalpindi.
I jestingly replied to him the next day that he shouldn’t worry about it. After all, wasn’t this the same Bhutto who said “I am ready to die for my country†when asked about the threats to her life in a Time Magazine interview last month.
But seriously, the political killing of the Pakistani leader and former prime minister, which has become the subject of condemnation from around the world, really is a cause for concern.
The large number of posts from bloggers all over the world on the death of Bhutto reaffirms this. Global Voices has set up a regularly updated Special Coverage page aggregating bloggers’ reactions to the assassination.

Please spread the word daw >> Pinoy OFWs Unjustly Imprisoned in Saudi Arabia. Tulong Daw!

Subject: Please spread the word daw.
Hey all,
Jedi of Tsikot.com is asking help for some of their tsikot.com members.
http://wowpare.com/2007/12/28/pinoy-ofws-unjustly-imprisoned-in-saudi-arabia-tulong-daw/Â
A group of OFWs are currently unjustly imprisoned in Saudi Arabia in Cel# 6 Simisi Main Office of Jawasat because their employer had failed to process their eqama (work permit). -Tsikot.com (scroll down to see post)
Unbeknownst to them, the employer also never processed the extension of their work permits even though he has asked them to submit all their documents to him. Thus on December 11, 2007, to their surprise, the Saudi Police raided their workplace and arrested those present for working without an eqama (work permit). Two of the men, Ben Sangalang and Silbin Pongos, were fortunately not at the premises and managed to avoid arrest.
7 months daw na walang sweldo ang mga ito.. nakulong pa. Please spread the word.

Christmas caroling
December 29, 2007
Our house has been officially named… “ang bahay na patawad†(a.k.a the house that does not entertain carolers). I laughed when I heard my yaya tell us about how she heard some street kids talk about our house to other street kids.
It has always been the tradition in the Philippines, for kids and adults alike, to set out and go from house to house in the neighborhood singing carols and asking for money for their efforts. They often shout - “Namamasko po†at the top of their lungs hoping someone would come out and give them money.
