Every Friday, I will be sharing one or two movies that I suggest you see over the weekend. I will only post those that are available through instant streaming. I'm sure you have an idea how hard it is to scour thousands of movies available on your fingertips and find the very few gems hiding beneath the junk so I will make it easier for you.I have come across movies that are so bad that it drove me mad and some that are instant classics. <br />
<br />
Here's a movie I am watching right now that I'm not even done watching and yet I am already recommending it. Yes, it's that good!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgqTx3glPXfpusX6SBwA3iPHOzrNUVdcupmMgp2FCFwDhuUztY3_ndH2j56ESVRnV4zro0q-7NM3WNcuKm0RW2_kp5OqsYnOgz7EGTbVH6ns11p3TTl-z4hWx-PHXQpbaaVw7cN9U9Gy-a/s1600/We-Are-Family-Movie-Poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgqTx3glPXfpusX6SBwA3iPHOzrNUVdcupmMgp2FCFwDhuUztY3_ndH2j56ESVRnV4zro0q-7NM3WNcuKm0RW2_kp5OqsYnOgz7EGTbVH6ns11p3TTl-z4hWx-PHXQpbaaVw7cN9U9Gy-a/s1600/We-Are-Family-Movie-Poster.jpg" /></a></div>It has been sitting patiently in my Instant queue but today I've decided to finally give it a chance. It's a Bollywood film and it's my first and I love it! I now have a great appreciation for Indian films. No wonder they produce so much in a year! It's because they can and they are good at it!They also remind me of Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Philippine movies. <br />
This is a family drama that must be seen by the whole family specially the kids! I know they would love this movie and might even probably make them cry. My kids often do cry in movies and I know they would cry when they see this over the weekend. I don't want to ruin it for you so I won't say much, you really have to see it for yourself. <br />
If you don't have <a href="http://movies.netflix.com/WiHome">Netflix</a> then this is the time to get one! I've been subscribing to Netflix since they began the company in 1999, not continuous but I remember when they only had a a thousand members and quite a few selections.<br />
I've always been a movie fanatic. My dad who loved movies has influenced me greatly. When I was a small child, I rarely played outside with the neighborhood kids. I was often seen inside the house curled up on the couch watching a ton of movies all day (or playing video games). I was allowed to watch anything I wanted with no restrictions (back then people were not really strict about these things)There were a lot of movies that has scarred me to life that's why I don't let my kids see movies that has a lot of sex and violence in it. Some movies can be too sick and some people think that a movie must be controversial to be awesome but that is not always the case. In fact, to me, that is rarely the case. I've seen so many movies that has received outstanding reviews because it was controversial and turned out quite disappointing to me. And there are some that are just, well, plain sick... Sick movies come from sick minds, where else would they come from? Example: Hostel. I swear, that movie is just one of the sickest movies I've seen. I have seen a lot of movies that are like that and I regret it so much. I don't think that should be considered entertainment and if it did entertain you then, I'm sorry but that is just plain crazy.<br />
Well, I hope you like this movie that I've recommended. Please do share your thoughts about it after you've seen it! I would love to hear what you think about it.Chickythinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14539018350251067336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279174260026618433.post-81838163866559200592011-06-01T20:33:00.000-07:002011-06-01T20:33:39.293-07:00Muffin Love<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYPW2MbT3VEsRVtuG8xPAftmwrIqd3INoYDegDtbSykaGnr9iXY5NDikiU7a2t2a6JPnjlSuLY8lh9OT6yXDvqNGOMPWT5pbqVXrluP95Jso2hpt1djkjsFkEfmxcrSlSfWbqlvVj85RAA/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYPW2MbT3VEsRVtuG8xPAftmwrIqd3INoYDegDtbSykaGnr9iXY5NDikiU7a2t2a6JPnjlSuLY8lh9OT6yXDvqNGOMPWT5pbqVXrluP95Jso2hpt1djkjsFkEfmxcrSlSfWbqlvVj85RAA/s1600/2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjujzWt_4VN19AeRXumc76BbziDYJ8YQkEqFRXqApxV8rt4qFPGO8esrQ7Ee9Lyylkk_lAlXpwIR9oDaEdLMHfur4DCuA7dc-NTzcHNvS6aL6wfoN4YdwuMJzH-ZzkhJO3kYZmU9-MMFkFa/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjujzWt_4VN19AeRXumc76BbziDYJ8YQkEqFRXqApxV8rt4qFPGO8esrQ7Ee9Lyylkk_lAlXpwIR9oDaEdLMHfur4DCuA7dc-NTzcHNvS6aL6wfoN4YdwuMJzH-ZzkhJO3kYZmU9-MMFkFa/s1600/1.jpg" /></a></div>This was what we ate after the kids came home from school. Seascape strawberry muffins and some with Nutella. I used Jiffy cornbread mix (you can use any muffin mix) bake it and before it finishes baking, put some strawberries (or blueberries) on top then put it back in the oven to cook a little bit more.<br />
<br />
I used organic seascape strawberries from the Farmer's Market and they are sooo yummy. They are very tiny and for me, easier to eat than the gigantic ones. I also threw some in a bottle of cold water and I love the hint of flavor it gave the water.Chickythinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14539018350251067336noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279174260026618433.post-31871246626365090082011-05-29T19:08:00.000-07:002011-05-29T22:12:18.432-07:00Our weekendOur weekend was awesome.

They have super tiny macarons on top and the crystal sugar is just divine. The cupcakes are a bit dry and spongy (I like them moist and heavy) but I really enjoyed them. Some of them has filling inside and the natural flavoring is so much better than the artificial ones. My favorite is the chocolate with caramel filling and the lemon ones with candied lemon peel on top. Those thingies are just amazing!<br />

You only gave me 11 macarons instead of 12!!! Next time I'll watch closely while you box them up.

I've heard that this is the third best restaurant in the entire United States and the number one in the whole of Los Angeles. It's so beautiful inside like your in a restaurant in France. It reminds me of Laduree. Specially the stacks and stacks of pretty pastry boxes and the macaron towers. The only complaint I have of the place is it that it's soooo loud inside (I blame the super high ceilings but eventually you get used to it and then your ears adjust and then you eventually hear the person you're talking to).<br />

<br />
It's that time again when I turn a year older and hopefully a lot wiser. I sit here on the couch in the living room as I reflect on how my thirty something years were like. It was bittersweet. I am in a better place now but I know things can still get much, much better. I'm not asking for a lot,what I'm asking for is so simple and yet seems so difficult to have. That wish got me in so much trouble but what matters is that I have learned a lot and those mistakes made me a better person. <br />
I know there are things that happen to us that we have no control of but one thing that we do have control of is how we feel inside. <strong>Today, I choose to be happy, no matter what.</strong> I will spend this day with people who matter to me most and will only think of positive thoughts. <br />
<br />
I am grateful for all the years that God has given me and for all the years that are yet to come. I am thankful for everything that I have and for everything that I can and will have. Life is beautiful even if sometimes things don't happen our way, being alive is enough. Someone told me that pain is the evidence of life. I agree but so is joy and love amongst other things but all these I am thankful of because it only means one thing... I am alive.<br />
<br />

Don't get me wrong, I don't think all this doomsday talk is funny. I was so scared so I pre occupied myself of things that I love doing just so I won't die from a heart attack. I believe in rapture and all that but I guess what I'm scared of really is the predictions and possibilities of disasters. If you are a single woman who hates life then that might be a different story but If you are a mom who loves life then disasters are just frightening because we love our family too much.<br />
<br />
Well, it's 7:37pm now, I really hope that everything stays calm as it is. I don't know about you but whatever Mr. Camping's intentions were, I take this day as a second chance on life. Now let's live life to the fullest, starting today, shall we? and of course, have faith.<br />

You must be disgusted, probably cringing but to me it was like stepping inside the pages of a fairy tale book. It was dusty, musty, very dark that we even used flashlights. <br />

</tbody></table>What do you think? Do you like it or hate it? I don't know why I love it. I don't know why I enjoy old stuff so much. I was probably born on the wrong century. Looking at this stuff and owning these things make me happy. I love being surrounded with things like this. How about you, what era do you enjoy most? I think I'm more into the 1800's and 40's. <br />

My preggy friend and I went gaga over the cool stuff for babies that weren't available years ago. Bummer. They were so many cool gadgets and baby things that you never thought your baby needed! I ended up buying training cups for my three year old who can drink perfectly from a cup just because they were sooo cute!<br />

We especially love the dimsum restaurants where servers push carts with dimsum. I wish I had taken a photo but I didn't want to be rude plus I was really hungry so that explains it.<br />

</div>My shop is opening soon. I know I mentioned here before that I won't be opening a shop anymore because it takes so much of my time but I found a way of squeezing a little of this and that until everything just fell into place and voila! It happened!<br />
<br />
No definite date yet. I am not ready for that pressure. Let's just say it's opening sooner than you think.

I'm pretty good at it I think because I get fat from my own cooking. Well, each day we try to eat healthier. Slowly but surely. So we tend to buy more food now from the farmer's market and Trader Joe's. So now, from time to time, I'll be posting recipes with ingredients that I bought from these places. I encourage you guys to try them because it won't be posted here unless it's family tested, happy tummies guaranteed!<br />

So the first recipe is Indian Pizza that I invented using the garlic naan bread from the freezer section of Trader Joe's. I think one pack of four flat breads is only $1.99 (please correct me if I'm wrong). <br />

Garlic Naan bread<br />
Barbecue sauce (or any sauce you want)<br />
ham (or any topping you want)<br />
grated cheese<br />
olive oil or sesame seed oil for drizzling on top<br />
white button mushrooms (or any veggies you want)<br />
<br />

Garlic Naan bread<br />
black forest freshly cut ham<br />
white mushrooms<br />
barbecue sauce and okonomiyaki sauce<br />
provolone cheese that I cut into thin strips<br />
<br />
The process:<br />
This is a quick and easy recipe and the kids love it. First, pre heat your oven to 350 degrees. Take out the frozen naan bread and spread the sauce you want to use, do not put too much and do not allow the sauce to run through the edges because it'll make your oven dirrty. I used barbecue sauce for some and okonomiyaki sauce for the rest. Then, put cheese on top of the sauce,it is important that you put the cheese first before the other toppings because the cheese will hold everything together. Then add your other toppings and drizzle a fair amount of oil on top. Then put them directly on the metal rack of your oven and cook until all cheese on top are melted. Ovens vary and time depends on what cheese you used but based on my experience, once the cheese has melted or is bubbling up then the naan bread is done too. 5-7 minutes is ideal.Turn on the light of your oven so you can check what's going on in there.<br />

You make houses so beautiful, it makes my heart ache. So sweet, it gives me toothache.Your luxe quilts are so gorgeous it makes me want to spend my entire life savings on them. Because they are so expensive and dry cleaning them once in two months is no joke! . And yet I want another one, or two, and more! Goose down feather comforters doesn't look as sweet. Thanks for stealing it's magic! <br />
<br />
I want your rusty iron bed frames. Other beds are just not the same. How could you make rusty bed frames and unmade beds look so chic? Not to mention peeling paint on walls, scary halls, old bathrooms,mismatched mugs and unfinished floors. How could you make disorganization look so organized anyway? And why is that when my house is disorganized, it does not look as fly? Oh Anthropologie, why do you do this to me???<br />

<br />
1. Do everything ahead of time. <br />
I made a mistake of cooking the pancakes and the meat/rice/egg breakfast meal just three hours before the party. I could have made them the night before and it wouldn't have made a difference because guests could always reheat it at the day of the event. I was rushing all morning and I was still cooking when the guests were coming in.<br />

2. It's better to make more, instead of less. Don't be afraid to make too much of everything because you can always eat them after the party. Don't be afraid to make too many pancakes because you can always freeze them and reheat them long after the party's over. Don't be afraid to buy lots of juices and cereal because these are part of your everyday breakfast. That's the good thing about having a brunch party. Nothing will go to waste. <br />
<br />
3. Ask friends to help out. I did everything by myself. My friend helped out a few hours before the party started but she had to leave so I was left to cook, entertain, take photos, do refills, babysit, and everything else that had to be done. I fell ill before the party was over because of exhaustion. Don't be afraid to ask friends and family to help out. You'll be surprised how much they want to help out.<br />
<br />
4. Cut the cake before the party begins. Usually the blowing of candles and the cutting of the cake is done at the last minute. If you do it before the party begins, everyone would still be in high spirits, eager to begin to party and it's your only chance to get everyone in the photo. <br />
<br />
5. Why I used boxes instead of plates.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjycDHt5J3zqy3Ow-MR8AagyqOW0jXTLdapRhEUdiouOOKSPtyke6P4lNrfT39C9cTX-NXxF9YmCEeARGxxmeJBmUMeDRcxazTi-tb2Pn9JhHs9UDeV6Z1Ls9uFvClX-toXmvs8BPBBzQud/s1600/221889_10150223554561054_672086053_8405121_3595600_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjycDHt5J3zqy3Ow-MR8AagyqOW0jXTLdapRhEUdiouOOKSPtyke6P4lNrfT39C9cTX-NXxF9YmCEeARGxxmeJBmUMeDRcxazTi-tb2Pn9JhHs9UDeV6Z1Ls9uFvClX-toXmvs8BPBBzQud/s640/221889_10150223554561054_672086053_8405121_3595600_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>If I used plates, there was no way to stack them. The boxes were the perfect solution. Specially that there are a lot of insects in the spring and summer season and the boxes protected the food from the pests. I also bought $1 bowls for the cereal instead of using disposable ones. A lot kinder to the environment. I also did not use disposable cups but instead, I used glass bottles that I already had at home and filled them with different kinds of juices.<br />
<br />
6.Don't be shy to ask family and friends to bring some dessert or other things that can be enjoyed for brunch. Like bananas and other fruits, breakfast muffins, or any specialty that they may have. The more food the better and less work for you. Ask them ahead of time if they are willing to bring something. Don't be shy, people are more than willing to share their family specialties.<br />
<br />
7.Specify the time. Let them know when it begins and when it ends. I did that and people made other plans after the brunch which is good because you can have the rest of the day off.<br />
<br />
8.Send thank you cards or better yet thank you emails.I never do that. I should though. And better yet ask the birthday celebrant to do it herself. It's more personal and thoughtful. She/he should mention what gift they got from the person they are writing to and thank them for it and for coming over.<br />
<br />
9.Don't forget the music. Always play some music. There's nothing worse than a party without it.<br />

10.Have fun. Have fun preparing, have fun entertaining, have fun cleaning up. That's what parties should be about.

I was up until 3am watching the Royal Wedding and preparing for the party for the following day then I woke up at 5 and began cooking all the pancakes, the fried rice with beef and eggs. Then I packed them in take out boxes.<br />
I made 15 boxes of pancakes with two pancakes in each box. I made meat/fried rice/2 eggs in over 25 boxes. All in all, I made 30 pancakes, over 50 eggs and 1 1/2 tray of marinated meat and 4 pots of rice! All by myself. Grueling but I made it alive!<br />
