Panels at Nerd HQ 2014 at the San Diego Comic Con

I was exposed to comic books at an early age.  My uncles (my mom's younger brothers) drew very well thus I was used to seeing Superman, Spiderman, Batman, the X-Men and more.  As I was growing up, my twin brother was into comics, he too is very good in drawing.  When he was doing nothing, he would just doodle and the super heroes would come out!  Well, he got the family talent, and I didn't.

When I met my Panget, I learned that he too was into comics and other geeky stuffs.  So, we sort of had something to talk about.  I remember asking him a question on Star Wars, anyways - we started going out and eventually we got married.  His interest with Sci-Fi has rubbed off on me, thus for the last 3-4 years, I have been so fascinated on the Comic Con, more specifically - the San Diego Comic Con (SDCC).

It was just two years ago, that I started watching the panel videos on YouTube, and man are they super entertaining!  I feel so excited whenever July comes because I look forward to the panel videos.  This year, I learned of Nerd HQ.  Nerd HQ was founded by actor  Zachary Levi and he has one of the most exciting panels (in my opinion).  I spent one whole last night during the holidays watching the Nerd HQ panels on YouTube.

It was sooooo much fun!  I'm sorry but the geek in me is the one talking typing.

Here are the panels that I loved:

Orphan Black - I was so shocked that Sarah and Felix do not have real English accents!  And Felix is very ver very good and convincing!  WOW!  I found the character Paul too cocky though, I didn't want to listen to his opinion.  Hahaha!!



Supernatural - this is one of my Panget's favorite show.  He was so happy that this show has been renewed over and over again.  The bromance is indescribable!  I love you Dean Winchester!!  Hahaha...


Nathan Fillion & the Mystery Panel - Can I just say - because of my Panget I became a Nathan Fillion fan.  My Panget loved loved loved Firefly, heck - we got Kailee's name from that show!  Haha.. (trivia!!)  I remember seeing him from the TV show Miss Match with Alicia Silverstone and Two guys a girl and a pizza place with Ryan Reynolds!  So he was quite a familiar looking TV actor.  I didn't know that he has a huge following - apparently, he's quite popular!



I wish someday, I can visit the San Diego Comic Con - but they say its super hard to get tickets.  Sigh.  Someday.  Someday.

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...
