.:ABOUT ME:.

am lady who is very much in touch with her intellect but doesn't exclude sense of humor out of her life. Very independent & is still up to learning life in general. Streetsmart, sweet & funny. A hopeless romantic & was a martyr at some point during my inexplicable commited days. I learned & lived through it & is currently enjoying what i have at the moment. I'm mainly here for the pleasure of discussing cultures, events, & my life in general. Philosophical views are welcome since i have a bit of a taste of the subject. Bits & pieces of knowledge are important & is not at all insignificant. Even the most precarious question or inquiry is of importance because that is one of the ways to learn certain things. Dreams & ambitions are a must & so is being a good listener, a good sport, a quick wit & an insatiable sense of humor are some of the personality must haves in my dire opinion. Honesty is important to earn my trust. Being adventurous & spontaneous are one of the few things i greatly admire in a person.

lens, chicken, and harry

i thought i will never find my contact lenses. i think this is my last pair. scary but true. i think ill be going to optometrist this saturday or on monday. to get my eyes checked. i've been wearing my geeky looking glasses all week.

i was le tired last night but i cooked some dinner. yep, again...this time it is chicken curry with pineapple. it was very tasty. it was originally taken from the kitchen of DelMonte Kitchenomics. i modified it a lot and i dont think it resembles their dish anymore.
so here is the full recipe.

chicken curry with pineapple chunks

prep time: 15 minutes
cooking time: 20-30 minutes
serves: 4-6 people

ingredients:
2-3 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1 can (234 g) DEL MONTE Fresh Cut Pineapple Chunks, drained (reserve syrup)
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 medium (50 g) onion, sliced
1 pc laurel leaf (bay leaf)
3 medium potatoes, cut into cubes
1 medium (50 g) red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 cup kakang gata (pure coconut milk)
1 branch leek, cut into strips
1 chucken boullion cube dissolved in 1/2 cup of water
1 jalapeno pepper, cut into pieces
salt and pepper to taste

directions
1. MARINATE chicken in a mixture of reserved pineapple syrup, garlic, onion, laurel leaf and 1/2 tsp. iodized fine salt (or 1/2 Tbsp. iodized rock salt) for 5 minutes. Place in a casserole. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until chicken is cooked.
2. ADD the remaining ingredients. Simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add jalapeno peppers. Serve hot.

notes
- do not put jalapeno peppers if you do not want it spicy
- put sili leaves if you have them
- serve with rice
- we ate chocolate brownies with bourboun & chocolate icing

we were also chugging down white wines. i love riesling so thats the one that i drank. we a;so watched harry potter and the goblet of fire. the dvd is nto working so it was the playstation that we used to play it. darn. i love harry potter. i need to read that book again!

:: Quotes ::

"There are only four questions of value in life, Don Octavio. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same: only love."
- DON JUAN

-Don Juan De Marco
(Johnny Depp)

"I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough."
- NOAH

-The Notebook
(Ryan Gosling)

"Jamie saved my life. She taught me everything. About life, hope and the long journey ahead. I'll always miss her. But our love is like the wind. I can't see it, but I can feel it."
- LANDON

- A Walk to Remember
(Shane Wesr)

wrap my arms around my son
true & everlasting love
around the world in eighty days
me as a jobless millionaire
skydive & scuba dive without panicking
