i remember asking my brother, who was the family musician, about a cassette tape entitled queen innuendo. i was intrigued because the tape cover featured a clown juggling some balls over a white background (i was just 10 or 11!)

he told me the history of the band, that this was the last album featuring freddy mercury who later died from AIDS.

while "the show must go on" was playing, i was lying on the floor, eyes closed, and just...FEELING the song. i must've played the whole album twice, sometimes screaming along with freddy mercury hehe

this was the most powerful and emotionally-charged album i've ever heard.

show must go on...

you can be anything you want to be
just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be
be free with your tempo
be free, be free
surrender your ego
be free, be free
to yourself

visita iglesia

every year we would promise ourselves to wake up early so we can finish visiting all seven churches earlier. every year that promise is broken hehehe we would usually start around 10 and end until 12 to 1 pm. haaayz, imagine the heeaaat!

the seven churches visited:

1. Lapaz Church
2. St. Clement's Church
3. Molo Church
4. Tanza Church
5. Sta. Teresita Church
6. Sta. Maria Church
7. San Jose Church

good thing about this year, everyone participated in reading the prayers for the station of the cross. in the past, it was just me and my mother mumbling while the boys and francine stare blankly behind us.

compared last year, there were fewer people inside the churches. maybe they started their visits/station of the cross last night. *shrug*

after lunch, we watched the "seven last words" show on TV. it ended when i woke up hehehe
in fairness, i was dreaming the scenes ha! *choz*

have a holy weekend everyone =)

sweet tooth

for a complete novice, my first brazo de mercedes (recipe below without the graham crust and ice cream) was not bad at all teehee the filling was great but the meringue deflated considerably...my fault because i made the meringue first before the filling or it could be because i've over/underbeaten my egg whites...

will try the "frozen" version next week...yum yum!

enjoy....

FROZEN BRAZO DE MERCEDES

Ingredients:

Base:
2 200g packs Honey Graham Crackers, crushed (MY San)
2 tbsps granulated sugar

1/3 cup melted butter (Anchor, unsalted)
1/2 gal Ice Cream (Vanilla/Cheese)

Filling:
1 can condensed milk (Angel/Carnation)
1 tsp vanilla
8 egg yolks
2 tbsps butter (Anchor, unsalted)

Meringue:
8 egg whites
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Procedure:
1. Prepare the graham base by mixing the crushed graham crackers, sugar and melted butter in aluminum pan or any baking dish. Add ice cream on top of the base and put in the freezeer for a while.

2. Do the filling: Combine egg yolks and condensed milk. Cook on top of a double boiler, continue cooking until thick or of spreading consistency. Add butter and vanilla. Blend well, set aside and allow to cool.

3. Do the Meringue: Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in high speed mixer until it stands in peaks. Add 1 cup of sugar gradually, beating continuously. Flavour with vanilla. Mixing is done when a smooth, grain free and shiny meringue is achieved. Spread meringue onto wax paper lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350°F for 13 - 15 mins. Take note that the meringue will puff up inside the oven but will slightly deflate after removing it from the oven.


4. Layer the cake: Spread the custard filling on top of the previously prepared graham-ice cream base then top with Meringue. Put in a freezer for 1 - 2 hours before serving.

caught

While eating lunch, my father and brother were talking about the funny local news they heard on the radio.

A woman was robbed on her way home by a group of men. Only one of the men had a bonnet/ski mask to hide his face. They took everything (jewelry, money the women collected from her "balut" business, cellphone). The robbers were about to leave when the guy w/ the mask told them "ang wallet nya pa gd kwa-a!". Upon hearing his voice, the woman said to herself "daw tingug man na ka bana ko..."

from her crouching position on the floor, she covertly observed the masked guy. It was indeed her husband!

After the robbers ran away with their loot, the woman calmly went to the police station and reported her husband and his cohorts.

my mother enjoyed the story so much she didn't finish her lunch. She was getting a bellyache from laughing.
