Stir Fried Noodles aka Pancit Canton (the famous panton of the Philippines)

Stir Fried Noodles aka Pancit Canton. In almost all important occasions (most specially birthday celebrations) in the Philippines, Pancit Canton is always present. According to folk tale tells, a pancit canton on the table during birthdays wishes the celebrant longer life and stuff. On my part, this dish is a favorite. I think that I've lived my entire life loving noodles. As a kid, as per my mother, I never ate anything but noodles (cooked in any form). Noodles everyday which forced them to be strict on my meals and to which led me to having this oversized killer body (NOT!). I was scolded and spanked by my parents so I'll leave the famous noodle craze. 

Anyhow, I'm not a good cook. I'm still learning and my dad cooks this dish delishly and I always wondered if I'd be able to do just that and the day has finally come, I should say. I'd say you can put a lot of twist to this dish and truth of the matter is, I still lack some ingredients to make it more tasty such as the little shrimps but nonetheless, a pancit canton will always be a pancit canton whether it lacks some ingredients or not because filipinos knows the taste by heart and I'd say, I've been tasted some dishes that are the same as this in other Asian countries but nothing beats to the way Filipinos prepare it.

Happy Meal everyone!:)

Beef Humba with Egg

One of the many famous dishes in the Philippines. It's supposed to be Pork but I opted for Beef since I don't eat Pork but same old taste as the one made of Pig's meat. And the egg, well, I really like boiled eggs with sauce and stuff :D That's me and I love it. I love the taste.:)

Tuna in Tomato Sauce with Broccoli

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

That almost got me. I thought Sherlock Holmes was dead but knowing his character, he always has ways and tricks to get back on track. Yeah! I love this movie, mainly because I love Robert Downey Jr :D

9 out of 10. The story was a bit dragging but still the same great stuff you'll expect over and over :)

The Zahir By Paulo Coelho

Currently Listening To: Colors by Tori Amos

I'm a believer of so many things. I believe in almost everything that exists and in both good and bad that is within each breathing organism that surrounds me. 

It has been a year since I bought this book and started reading. It has traveled into 4 cities in Asia but I just finished reading the entire plot today. 

It is not the typical Paulo Coelho book that I like, I basically bought this out of the need to collect all his literary piece. I find the book a bit dragging but the end part made me think. I was not meant to read it last year. I was meant to finish reading it at this exact moment.

I always believe that certain things happens for a reason, that everything has its sole purpose as to why it has to be like this and that and now I must admit, finishing this piece came out at the perfect moment.

Like the lead character I've been blinded by the zahir. I've lived by it's shadows for the passed years and I've struggled hard enough to maintain the balance within me to keep me afloat in most days when it just feels like shit in most part.

I think that when you're in love with a person, you don't require any answers to all the questions that you have in mind, you just let things be. You don't have to understand the choices that came along instead you have to accept and embrace the pain that goes with it. You acknowledge your weakness and the strength that will come out from all the decisions that you made and are about to make.

At the end of the book, it did not matter whether she got pregnant by another man nor how long she waited for him to come back, or how much he wanted answers for all the questions he had. It didn't matter because when they found each other, the contentment of finding each other was all the mattered. The acceptance for the past and the clear embracement of the present and the future is all the mattered.

I don't really know if I'm making any sense now but I feel a different high. Every Paulo Coelho collection is inspiring and unique in so many ways. You learn from each stories and you can relate at some instances though your experiences are randomly different from what was written.

The Ghost Rider: Spirit of The Vengeance

I've been following this flick for since the first movie came out and it always gets me off my feet when I see Johnny Blaze do his thing with the bike and stuff. I'm not a big fan of motorbikes films but this one is an exception because it has that marvel comics vibe which I totally love.
