Wizard Magazine

My twin brother used to be a fan of comics, my cousin too! But my Panget - well, he still buys them to date. He's such a big fan of the comic, graphic novel genre that we go to the Philippine Toy Convention - every single year!

Since we've been together for quite a while now, I've come to tolerate appreciate his comic book slash toy collecting vice. I've become sort of excited to see a new toy or a new Wizard magazine!

For every issue that he has - I've read it from cover to cover. Sometimes asking him questions on certain character I'm unfamiliar with.

Yesterday - while he was getting a haircut - he gave me his newest copy - it's still sealed in a plastic, for me to read. I was so excited to open it. It's funny - because I opted to read this magazine over a Cosmo and Marie Claire Philippines!! It's geeky, I know - but I loved reading through it! I can't explain why I like reading through it, as I am not a comic book enthusiast, but I like reading through the articles and looking at the drawings!

It's so out of my character - seriously, but hell - I liked it! I even laughed at the articles and interviews printed!!

Tsk.. Tsk..

I guess for the time we've been together - what he likes, I already like.

I hate to admit it but - I'm a closet Wizard fan.

    Hello Kiko! :) Don't lose hope! Panget and I have been together for quite a while and it was 2-3 years ago that I started to appreciate the vice! Hehehe.. Have a great weekend!

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...

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
