Days after the Century Corned Tuna Bloggers’Cook Off, I was still thinking about our winning pasta. I was replaying in my mind and air-tasting the delectable Asian-inspired dish. So when I went to SM Makati, I bought the ingredients that I didn’t have and headed home excitedly.
I went online to check the recipe, then starting measuring – approximating and assuming the correct measurements for each ingredient. Or so I thought.
All the ingredients were ready, the pasta almost cooked, and I – excited to start cooking the pasta sauce. The first few steps were fine. Until I got to the liquids. Apparently, I over-estimated the measurements and put in too much white wine and soy sauce, which made the whole thing taste sour and salty. Too sour and too salty. I immediately
In a not-so surprising turn of events, the Commission on Elections has yet again denied Ang Ladlad’s application for party-list accreditation. And this time, the reason is immorality.
Read this very deplorable news from Newsbreak below and see if you won’t get offended or angered by how the COMELEC officers think these days.
In light of this COMELEC decision, Ang Ladlad is calling all its members, allies, friends and supporters to a general assembly on 14 November 2009, Saturday, 8am-12nn at the Seminar Room 108 of the University Hotel, UP Diliman. For directions, call the University Hotel at landline 926.1975/926.1953 or mobile 0920.471.0111.
I have already deleted my accounts in most of the gay social networking and dating sites about two months ago. This means that I should no longer be seen on sites like PlanetRomeo, Downelink, Connexion, Gaydar, Gay.com, etc.
However, recently, an office friend told me that he saw me on PlanetRomeo. I told him that I don’t have an account there anymore and that he probably saw it some two months ago. He retorted and said that it was fairly recent that he saw me there. Or at least he thought it was me. Apparently, someone thinks I’m goodlooking enough that they used my photo for their accounts.
So my dear friends who are on PlanetRomeo, if you see a profile with a photo of me, it only means one thing, the guy is an impostor!
To the impostors who use my photo, thanks. At least someone thinks I’m goodlooking enough to use my photo for the betterment of their dating and sex lives.
You’ve seen Eating Out 1. You enjoyed its "Sloppy Seconds" sequel. Now get ready for Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat.
This third installment to the series seems to have been upped in the production value department. And not only that, the more important thing is that there are a lot of hot newcomers, hot men in this movie. So better watch out for this one. You definitely will want to eat all you can eat!
I was recently invited to join the Century Corned Tuna Bloggers Cook Off and boy did I have so much fun. Since I was already feeling better than I did two weeks ago, I decided to say yes to the invite.
When I arrived at The Stock Market (Bonifacio High Street), I was told that I was going to be one of the participants for the cook off. I was a bit hesitant at first since I knew that I didn’t really know how to cook (if you count hotdogs or sauteeing tuna, then yes I do!) and that may hurt my team. I just then sucked it up and do whatever was necessary.
The Century Corned Tuna Bloggers’ Cook Off was patterned after Iron Chef. There were two long tables filled with ingredients and two stoves and cooking areas. Teams had to come up with two different dishes using the available ingredients PLUS the secret ingredient (which was really not so secret after all) – Century Corned Tuna. Teams were given an hour to complete their dishes. Teams may use any of the two variants of Century Corned Tuna – Regular or Chili. The criteria for judging: Plating (20%), Originality (20%), Taste (25%) and the Innovative Use of Century Corned Tuna (35%).
There were two teams, each having six members. I was part of the great Team B, together with Arpee, AJ, Erlyn, Jane and Omar. Our coach was Chef Donna Morales from Century Tuna.
And so I’m back again. The site is always down (I have issues with my VPS hosting and I know nothing about fixing it, if you’re an expert, please help me!) but we’ll do our best to keep it up all the time.
After I posted something about being back after suffering from gastritis and all that, I was hospitalized for about a week due to complications from gastritis plus duodenal ulcers, ulcers, duodenitis and gastrointestinal tuberculosis. So I couldn’t post anything because even if I did have access to the Internet at the hospital, my hands were busy hosting the “sueros” for the medications and the dextrose. After hospitalization, the doctor gave me a mandatory home-rest period of a month. I was on continuous treatment and medication (still am). Now, after three weeks of resting and getting better at home, I’m going back to work. The doctor said one month, but I have only filed for a three weeks worth of leave of absence from work so I really have to be back, or else I’ll lose my job.
So anyway, now that Bakla Ako, May Reklamo? is back in full swing (or at least try to be), we have a few changes. There will be more personal entries and things and events in my personal life. Also, new entries to my food blog will be temporarily hosted and posted here since I’m having issues with putting it back up.
