I just think it's unfair for those people who had to leave their country to earn money or study. I'm just pissed by the fact that i have to learn italian and english language, i know it will help me a lot in the future but at the same time, i am loosing my identity as a Filipino. I remembered that scene from "mano po" where maricel soriano was making a big decision to her life wether she should stay in the Philippines or go to China, she chose the first one. She said so many things that i forgot but one sentence got stucked in my head. "Pag nagdidisisyon ako, Pilipino ang linguaheng ginagamit ko" as for me, i hear/speak english and a minimal italian whenever i think.

i'm just bitching how unfair the world could be..when we can all just speak Filipino!

I really didn't do that much for my two weeks vacation, i stayed at home and played FF XII in the ps2 and ate lots food, that's it. Today, i'm helping kayce to move her stuff to her new apartment around Trastevere. 

I have a bulgarian friend, her name is Aleksandra. This morning we were talking about Filipino and Bulgarian culture. I learned a lot of interesting things about Bulgaria and I feel sharing what I have learned and what I would be learning from now on:

Every month of March, the bulgarians exchange this special kind of adornment called MARTENITSA. Everyone in bulgaria wears the martenitsa to welcome the season of Spring.

We finally went to La Base! The rumors are definitely true about this place. They have the cutest and coolest decoration for a pub/restaurant place. The food it's not that expensive and it's really2 good! Here are some pictures from their official website:
Next Stop is the Jewish Ghetto:

The results is... I am a strategist!

Summary of Strategists

• Quiet, easy-going and intellectually curious
• Use logical, objective thinking to find original solutions to problems
• Think of themselves as bright, logical and individualistic
• May be impractical, forgetting practical issues, such as paying bills or doing the shopping

*Strategists are generally easy-going. They are intellectually curious and enjoy abstract ideas. Sometimes they like thinking of a solution to a problem more than taking practical steps to solve it.

*In situations where they can't use their talents, are unappreciated, or not taken seriously, Strategists may become negatively critical or sarcastic. Under extreme stress, Strategists could be prone to inappropriate, tearful or angry outbursts.

I had a dinner date with Ma and Pa today at La Mucca Bischera. *kayce, pag katapos ng lent, babalik tayo dun kei.

Kanina, pumunta ako sa mall kasama yung kaibigan ko. Pinanood namin ung film ni Woody Allen na ang title ay "Cassandra's Dream". Napaka-makatotohanan ng kwento, tungkol sa dalawang magkapatid na gusto magkaroon ng buhay may asawa't-pamilya. Ah chuva! tinatamad na ako mag kwento, basta. Panoorin niyo na lang sa dvd o sa sinehan.


*i don't own these pictures

and so I did..

 First thing I did in the morning was to read Like Water for Chocolate written by Laura Esquivel. I must admit my profound interest for romantic novels, specially those of the story that takes place in the renaissance period in Europe. However, this book is far from that period.
   Honestly, when I saw the cover of the book I thought it would talk about different recipes about chocolates within the story that might help me in baking chocolate cake (oh, i love chocolates!!). But, I was actually surprise that the author included other mexican recipes!..well, i don't really know how to cook (I bake) because I would always be the one to be the "taster" in the kitchen. Ha, that's my role in our small culinary word inside the house and my Dad is the super chef!!
    The story is also sensual and passionate. Indeed, a book that would enrich one's imagination about LOVE. I still have two chapters to go..

Next thing you know, I was watching this film called Lone Wolf and Cub Movies

..From the mexicano's love and romance, I wasn't prepared for the samurai shit! But, I must admit that this old japanese film is a good movie.. The dude with a samurai sword is a well known warrior during i don't know what era in Japan and the little boy on the baby cart is the son. Together, "they walk the way of hell" as they say in the movie whenever they encounter massive group of enemies with guns, crossbows and other war shits.. I thought they were gonna die in that scene..BUT BUT BUT, they have hidden weapon of destruction, guess what..it's the BABY CART wahahaha, go to crunchyroll.com if you wanna watch this movie..

Then..I planned calling all my family and friends in the Philippines but the line was so busy or the the operator on the line would say "sorry, error connection...blablabla" hmpf! damn it!

ano gagawin mo sa huling 24 oras ng taong toh?

Nitrofurans were found in tins of Ma Ling luncheon meat

One of China's best-known food companies has halted exports of all tinned food, after toxic chemicals were found in canned meat products.

Food safety officials in Hong Kong have discovered a banned antibiotic, nitrofurans, in tins of Maling brand pork luncheon meat and pork ribs.

It is the latest scare over the safety of Chinese exports.

What is thanksgiving dinner??
The centerpiece of contemporary Thanksgiving in the United States is a large meal, centered around a large roasted turkey. The majority of the dishes in the traditional American version of Thanksgiving Dinner are made from foods native to the New World, according to tradition the Pilgrims received these foods from the American Indians.  -wiki

    Dahil hindi ako alam kung pano icelebrate and fiesta na toh at hindi ko alam kung pano magluto ng Turkey, kakain na lang kami sa Hard Rock mamaya
