Ploning

oo nga pala, i wached the movie ploning last week, i don't remember when but i watched the DVD where i bought it last december in the philippines. actually, i really wanted to watch the movie at rockwell tent, in makati city, on december 4, 2008. the exactly day that i arrived in the philippines. but i was so tired from my flight, so i slept na lang in my hotel. ahihi. anyways, the movie is about, waiting devotionally for someone, keeping secrets, not showing what's inside the heart but very helpful to others. that's ploning in judy ann santos' role. the movie was nominated for the entry to the 81st academy awards for the best foreign language film category. yes, pinoy pride! but ploning did not make it. that's so sad. but somehow the movie was adored abroad. and the funny thing was when i watched the movie, i was eating salted cashew while i'm watching. because you can see in the movie how they produce the salt and the carmelized cashews. wala lang. ahihi. and you can see the other side of the philippines, specially the island of cuyo, palawan. they're speaking cuyonin. actually. di ko ma gets. bisaya ba yon? but all the casts learned the dialect for the film. ganda sya, kasi, dalawang beses ko panuod at dalawang beses din ako na luha. ahuhu. this is it.

Raclette

traditionally, it is accompanied by small firm potatoes, gherkins, prickled onions, dried meat, such as prosciutto and bacons, sliced peppers, tomato, onion, mushrooms, pears, and dusted with paprika and fresh-ground black pepper. para di ka maumay, masarap with sliced pine apple. ahihi. It is normally accompanied by a white wine or tea, but don't drink coke or sprite. ikaw din baka sumabog stomach mo. jowks. raclette is also a dish indigenous to parts of switzerland, wallonia and france. the raclette cheese round is heated, either in front of a fire or by a special machine, then scraped onto diners' plates; the term raclette derives from the french racler, meaning "to scrape".

en guete!
