one "bloody margarito", comin' right up!
eighth title in another weight division. wow. manny, you are truly the man! i'll have to admit though, i was a bit skeptical about this fight. it seemed like you didn't put as much effort into your training as you usually do. of course, you've got your political career, showbiz "commitments", singing 'imagine' and all that stuff.

interesting ...
that's what i think of the movie, "the social network." aside from the rave reviews, i'd like to see how an idea of "gathering everyone" on a single site becomes one of, if not, THE most visited websites on earth. of course, how did mark zuckerberg (is he the founder, co-founder, ceo or president?) start it all? zuckerberg has certainly been in the news with his $100 million donation to establish Startup:Education, a foundation benefiting newark public schools, and his inclusion in the forbes 400 list - #212. what impeccable timing for publicity! or am i just so "late" to hear about stuff? (i've been living under a very big rock for some time ... tee-hee)
anyway, i hope i get to see it ... anybody got a dvd? *wink*

all good things come to an end. much like when "the return of the king" installment in the LOTR trilogy was about to be shown, i'm "sad" that this is the last HP book / movie...november 19, 2010 and june 2011. *sigh* :(

are you still there?
whew! that was a long break if you'll ask me. so, how's it going? i hope things have been going great for you.
for me, well, i've been cruising along. so much has happened since my last post. i've been reborn (my 40th birthday), nourished (latest food updates), and released (moved out of the darkness)!
as always, nourishment is the name of the game; chiechay's game anyway. so, what will i share with you? well, remember this post? it came to me in time for valentine's day. oh yeah, that dark bar, wrapped in brown-streaked red paper, presented itself to me through a window display. odd that the red package stood out from amongst the rest. and there were about three or four more packages in different colors (well, i know red always stands out). but the words dark + chocolate + chilli (oh yes, double L...they might as well just write chillyn) were more than enough to reel me in, hook, line and sinker. oh yeah. i walked out of the store looking like the cheshire cat (have you seen 'alice in wonderland' yet?). i couldn't wait to get home!
so, i took the pictures. i was getting so impatient (yeah, my eq was at an all-time low) that i never bothered with the lighting and all that stuff, i just snapped away then i took that first bite. i ate a square (the bar was divided into squares, 24 to be exact). hmmmm, ecuadorian dark chocolate is delicious, but where's the hotness? so, i take another square and another until i've devoured 4 squares, one after the other. i ate the bar like i would a snack, i chewed the chocolate squares, not waiting for it to melt in my mouth. and you know how chocolate sticks to your teeth? well, when i got the chocolate that was on my teeth and gums, that's when it got hot. hmmmm, subtle, very subtle but you can definitely "feel" the chilli (it really is double L). ha! so i eat another square actually another four squares but that was the maximum heat it generated. just subtle "hotness".
i was hoping it would reach that level where i'd need something to bring the heat down. don't get me wrong, the dark chocolate was delicious. it's an overall 6.5 for me. nevertheless, i know what to expect when i get my hands on what i'm looking for.
maybe i should try a spicy hot chocolate drink to whet my craving in the meantime. care to join me?

care for a stick?
for a couple of days, i've seen this stand at the cinema level of trinoma. from afar, looks very simple but upon closer inspection, the freezer display shows you what's inside...gelato on stick. yup, gelato. yesterday, i decided to satisfy my curiousity and craving. when given the chance to have gelato, jump on it. gelato is gelato. so, what will it be? i found myself "torn between two lovers" - pistachio and gianduia (hazelnut) ... which is which? i gave in to my "green" side.
the also have mango, strawberry, coffee and chocolate sticks...i didn't have time to memorize the menu. of course, gelato is more expensive than ice cream and at Php80.00 per stick for a plain one, it is expensive. (per stick is half; you can order a pair as well, i guess that would be two sticks more like the popsicle, right?) you can add toppings, dip it in chocolate, and i think there are other add-ons. the guy before me bought a half gelato with some toppings and he paid Php225.00! hmmm, expensive.
but when you "devour" ;) the gelato stick you'll think it's worth it; it's a treat, a reward. gelato is more dense than ice cream and sorbet and creamier too. delicious. :) i wonder when can i reward myself again?
stick house is found on the cinema level of trinoma (beside fuzion cafe and the candy stall). if you're like me and forget where i found such a delight, just look at the ice cream stick :)
you may also want to visit their website: http://www.stickhousesrl.com/ (they have gelato making classes!!! i want to enroll! unfortunately, the classes are in held in italy ... on second thought, i've always wanted to go to there...an added incentive!)
