My take on Japchae

I again tried my hand on Korean cooking, this time it's Japchae. It's cellophane noodles with vegetables. Here in the Philippines, we call it sotanghon, lol! XD The difference is we cook everything together while the Korean way is to cook the ingredients separately and mix them all together by hand.

It's not as good as the original because I made mine too sweet. At least I know now to lessen the sugar because Korean cooking is just way too sweet for my family. ^^

Korean Cooking ^^

I've been trying to do some Korean cooking and these are some that I tried... =)
Cheese Ramyun - just the ordinary Korean ramyun from the package then added cheese on top... lessens the spiciness and double the yumminess. ^_^


Ddeokggochi (spicy rice cakes in skewers) - I made this less spicy since the Korean taste is a bit too much for my family. Yummy! =)


Fried Fish Cakes in Soy Sauce - this one is not spicy at all. A nice side dish for every meal. ^^


I've also tried Ddeokbokki and Dak Galbi but wasn't able to get pictures of them. They were too spicy for us that my mom tried fixing it resulting to a totally different dish all together, LOL! XD

I'm not really a very good cook, I just followed the recipe from youtube. ^^

[Movie] The Blind Side

Definitely one of the best movies I've watched recently. The acting is great and the story is just superb! Something that I've always liked, a feel good movie that has a heart.

The movie made me cry even in scenes that the actors are not crying. It's just so heart warming to think that there are such kind people in this world. So kind that color or appearance was not an issue for them. Not even society had any hold on the kindness they showed which changed one person's life totally.

A very inspiring story that is truly worth watching! =)

[Book] Eclipse

So glad this one's better than the previous book, New Moon. That book made me lose faith in Stephenie Meyer all together. But because my friends are big fans of the Twilight Saga, I thought I'd finish the whole series just because I don't want to leave things unfinished. =S

This book is more exciting and more love involved. But Meyer just have to ruin it for me with the last part of the book by making Bella a two-timing vampire-wannabe. Yes, I'm not a big fan of Bella after this. I don't think she deserves to have the love of two good men that loves her oh so much.

But she's the heroine so let it be. I just wish Jacob will finally find the person he will stamp to be his partner for life, I feel so sorry for him, he's miserable! =S

[Movie] The Proposal

I was on a dvd movie spree a few weeks ago. I watched about 5 movies straight and this one win it for me! ^_^ Just when I thought I'm so over all the romantic comedies, "The Proposal" does it again to me.

I used to really love romantic comedies for the simple reason that I'm a romantic and I like to laugh. But being single and having no love life makes one somewhat cynical in this world full of love birds flying all around you. For a time there, I forgot what romantic is and all that sweet lovey dovey couples started to annoy me. LOL! XD

But whatever, I still love to laugh which is why I watched this movie and I'm not sorry, I love it!!! I just wish the romance will come to my life before the weak fire that kept me hoping for a love story of my own got completely snuffed off. ^^
