Marimar

Okay - let's get it straight out - I have no clue what this Mexican Telenovela is all about. I know, people have been going gaga over Thalia long before the invasion of the Chino-velas! But seriously - what is it all about?

I have friends who made it a point to go home early and finish their homeworks to watch this show - but really - was it really that good? You see, I am a sucker for Telenovelas, ask my mom, my friends and my Panget! They'd all say the same thing - that I am indeed a sucker for them, I'd watch them and even discuss possible spoilers of the show with people! Ahhhhh... this is my 'drama' in life... :)

When I read in Sophie's blog - that she loved it (when it was still shown) - I sent her messages thru YM asking her what she show is all about. Ever so cute Sophie replied instantly - and here's what she told me on YM:

sophie : marimar starts with a young raggeddy ann dressed girl
sophie : hahaha
sophie : with lolo and lola didi: nice ba?
sophie : falls in love with sergio the hairy chested guy riding a horse
sophie : then sergio marries her to spite her parents or whatever
sophie : then the household makes a laughingstock out of marimar esp angelika
sophie : renato's wife sophie : then things get worse as angelika orders someone to burn the house of marimar's lolo and lola
sophie : d ko na maalala basta sa huli magiging iba na ang pagkatao ni marimar
sophie : under the name of bella aldama

Now, after reading that - I got fascinated. Looks like they indeed followed the recipe of a good telenovela!! :)

But will GMA 7's version compare to that of the original one? I will never know - because I don't have anything to compare it with! It's been day 3 (of showing) already - and I still haven't caught the local version! What time does it start anyway?! Dang it!!

    I admit to having watched the Thalia version. You shouldve watched that. Super vindicated siya sa huli, mwahahaha. Anyway, I think Marian Rivera, the new local actress is pretty good casting, sa looks alone. Have yet to see her acting though.

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't t...

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip s...
