So there you are, brand new laptop open on the table (probably even a Macbook), typing merrily away. With those phentermines everyday, you could enjoy almost anything you want. So now you have a steaming mug of hot chocolate on the table, and you take leisurely sips as you enjoy your new lappy.

All that drink and leisure makes your body tingle and so you go answer nature’s call. You’ll be back in a jiff, so the thought of safeguarding your new lappy never crossed your mind. When you come back- lo and behold! What do you see?

...when you find your pooch peeing on your laptop!

I hope he never, ever, dumps me in a shelter...

Another feel-good-heart-warming pic. I wonder what this dog is really praying for. Or does he even understand what he’s doing? Perhaps he’s wishing for a Christian Louboutin pair of shoes. Or perhaps a nice, thick steak. Or perhaps he’s wishing that his master never grow old and leave him alone. I think that’s it! I think that deep down in that doggy heart of his, he’s wishing that his master never tire of him and will always be there for him.

Or at least that’s what I like to think.

Poor, poor guy in the middle. You have no idea...

So we’re still on kyut-pics-on-Facebook week, and guess what, here’s one that made me stop, stare and guffaw (There’s a good bet that the guy in the middle is suffering from adult acne and will soon suffer from a broken heart). This pic just took the word back-stab to a whole new level.

As that guy in the Greenwich commercial says “Nag-level up ka na!”

...of the shadow of death. Oh, you've gotta be shitting me!

This pic is just totally hilarious!But kyut at the same time. I sure hope this cat’s got some colon cleanser handy. It really might need it as it’s quite obvious it’s scared shitless. I wonder what’s going through puss’ head right about now. Here’s hoping those dogs didn’t tear it up in pieces.

Again another one of those pics floating around on FB. Hope it made you smile.

A perfect 10 on the SPLAT Scoring system...

…and maybe even a 3 on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). I really do hope this guys has mechanical breakdown insurance for that bike. I mean, talk about a wipeout. This is one wipeout tha’s definitely a keeper. One that’s gonna be for posterity.

If you’re wondering what exactly happened here or whether this guy escaped brain injury, I really don’t know too. I just found this pic floating around on Facebook and thought that I’d share. But personally, I think it’s obvious what happened next…SPLAT!

I am loving this site.  I first blogged about this site when I found out the recipe for making “prime” steak out of your regular, all-around “choice” cuts (they say another way to do this is to put your meat between heated blankets).

I recently tried it with a slab of pork, and boy-o-boy, did it work! I almost duplicated that very famous Big Joe’ s Pork Steak. I say duplicated ’cause all biases aside, I think mine was better. The meat was bursting with all that porky goodness, cholesterol and just the right salty taste (the article was right. No matter how much salt you drench the pork in, it doesn’t get too salty. Only the right amount gets in. Talk about osmosis)!

This week, Steamy Kitchen offers Tofu and Soba noodles with Lemon and Ginger Dressing.

mouth watering healthy goodness!

Enjoy!

Oh, by the way, another reason why I love the site- almost all the ingredients are available at the local market.

Another grave, grave error on National Geographic.

Sometimes I wonder if they actually made a mistake and confused one language for another. Or if they just blatantly disregarded the obvious facts and for the sake of simplicity, just substituted one language for the other (who’s gonna know? Asians are Asians after all. They’re all alike). Given the fact that this is National Geographic and not some low-rate-documentary-channel, I’d think it was the latter (they better have some North Carolina health insurance for what I’m about to say).

Just to set the record straight and just to get it off my mind, let me say this to NatGeo:

WE ARE NOT INDONESIANS! We are Filipinos. Filipinos speak Pilipino (Tagalog). Not Indonesians. They have their own unique language. Don’t confuse the two.

I am referring to an episode in NatGeo’s Locked Up Abroad, a series where they document various people who find themselves locked up in foreign lands (for drugs or what not, but usually for drugs).

In this episode (Busted in Bali), an Australian busted for illegal possession of drugs in Bali, Indonesia finds himself in an infamous prison there. It turns out that NatGeo used Filipino actors to play the part of the Indonesians. Nothing wrong with that, ’cause we do have similarities (we’re all kayumangi!). But what I think was wrong is to have these actors speak in Filipino- Filipino!- while playing Indonesians.

That’s right. Instead of having them speak in Bahasa, the Filipino actors portraying Indonesians were speaking Filipino.

It’s all wrong if you ask me. Get it straight, NatGeo.

Apparently, salt has been used for ages to season and tenderize meat. I must’ve been living in a culinary cave ’cause I’ve only heard about salt as a tenderizer just recently. I even wrote an article about my recent discovery. The theory goes that when you salt your meat, you’re actually drawing water out of it (sort of like dry-aging) and allowing the salt to leach in and denature proteins found in the meat, trapping it and all its flavors inside. If you think about it, it actually makes a whole lot of sense (like those phentermine reviews).

Just a few tidbits about salt:

Salt or Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is in the top tier of the electrolyte kingdom. It contains sodium which we need for muscle contraction, which in turn allows us to move, and more importantly, to keep our hearts beating! Needless to say, we need salt!

Keeps us going and going and going...

Food Lovers Guide to the Planet is a National Geographic segment that takes the viewer to various places around the world where food is unique and special. Before each food stop is a short intro of the place and the dish or delicacy it is known for. Like the fish boil in Door County, Wisconsin or the Spicy Biryani of South India (all that food makes me want to visit bestweightlosspills.net).

In one particular episode, they featured a supposed ‘Grill Master’ somewhere in the US (I forgot which state). During his interview, he says grilling is his life and that all he wanted to do since he was a kid was grill meat. Not just any meat, but huge, thick, gigantic slabs of meat. He then goes on to add that his specialty is roast whole pork and that he’s an expert in doing just that. Being no stranger to lechon and the mouth-watering, orgasmic deliciousness that it brings, I was of course intrigued. A lechon expert? In the States? This I’ve gotta see.

So the show featured him roasting a whole lechon. Everything from seasoning to spitting to roasting was shown (interestingly, instead of our traditional bamboo spit, our American counterpart used an aluminum pole and tied the pig up with metal clamps that they have to screw-screw!- on to tie the pigs legs firmly to the pole). The result?

The inside meat was worse- all pink, raw and wet

He then goes on to apologize by saying that the pork blew up and caught fire while cooking it. Tsk! What a shame.

I don’t know about you, but me thinks he should watch us Filipinos roast pork first before calling himself a master.

Oh, by the way, this is how real roast pork (lechon) should look like.

Golden, crispy, dripping with all that porky goodness

I know a lot of people love drinking Coke. Someone I know even bragged that he consumes at least 3 liters a day. Yep, That’s three. Three! I once did an impromptu survey of known Coke drinkers and most of them shared one thing in common- that satisfying-tingly feeling they get every time they drink the stuff (talk about being proactiv).

We now know that that feeling is caused by caffeine and how it stimulates the same area of our brain that dope (yes, dope) tickles- albeit in lesser quantities. But it still tickles it, nonetheless. caffeine is a drug after all. But what most people don’t know, is that Coke used to contain cocaine.

I want a snort-er, drink!

Yep, Coke=coke.

According to this article, prohibition set into motion the events that will lead to the invention of sugar water infused with this stimulating drug. A little further research confirmed the facts. Coke indeed used to count cocaine as one of its major ingredients. That’s why most old timers (Coke drinkers before the 1980’s) would attest to the fact that Coke tasted waaaay better before. Then the government decided to outlaw and classify cocaine as a dangerous drug forcing Coke to substitute caffeine instead.

So the next time you tank up on this classic favorite, give a thought to why it was named that way.
