Last Weekend

I wanna share this new discovery, the SUPER GRILL PAN!

'got it sometime ago but only managed to try it last sunday. It did worked!, 'was able to achieve a grilled barbecue effect and taste. The only thing is that I got splatted with hot oil that was extracted and accumulated in the process. Lesson learned is to monitor and take away excess accumulation of oil so as not to fry the meat.

here's the magic marinate formula:
- chopped garlic
- ground pepper
- kikkoman premium soya sauce
- calamansi extracts (the more the better)
- sprite or 7-up

while grilling:
- mix the marinate with olive oil, occasionally wipe over meat. It keeps the meat tender specially if you want it to be well done, also helps to absorb more taste from the marinate.

last sunday had a rare treat of sports entertainment. stumbled upon the F1 race on its halfway, very fierce competition between Schumi and Alonzo. very exciting because Alonzo trailed behind Schumi throughout the race even if his car is much faster then Schumi's (based on the car's computerized recordings available during the race). it was inevitable for Shumi that he has no chance of leaving Alonzo far behind so he employed a strategy of just maintaining a safe pace but defensively not allowing Alonzo some space to overtake.

i've never been a football maniac, but while scanning the channels my attention was somehow catched by the semifinal match between West Ham and Middlesborough during just past the second half with 0-0. maybe because of the agressiveness showed by both teams, i really become engrossed watching as the game develops. then of a sudden, a magnificent unusual left kick from the West Ham player (forgot his name) created a glorious goal, it brought me to some sort of orgasmic feeling, almost jumped from my seat of sheer euphoria. enlightenment, this could be...and yes, i'm now looking forward to watching more football....looking forward to West Ham's final match against Liverpool in the final....and yeah the World Cup (defending brazil-the team to watch out with Ronaldo, Ronaldhino and a young boy touted as 'the next Pele').

monte carlo tennis finals saw one of the greatest games ever played by both Federer and Nadal. truly Federer is not that at all untouchable, while the clay king Nadal is nothing but superb and magnificent.
