Our Adventures Out Clubbin'

It's been fun! Girls nite out and we hit the streets - stopped in at our little special place - DJ played all my favorite songs and theirs. Dance dance dance..... i can't even describe how crazy i was. No, i wasn't the only one. Everybody even the bouncer was dancing most of the time. At one point, Nikki had to takel me aside to try and calm me down. There was one little song/chant they do, and me, along with a few other people were doing what the song said "do the humpty hump" or whatever. When it was over, we all turned to see the entire crowd had taken a few steps back, and they were all staring at us, laughing. It was great!!

We brought our newborn son, Adam, to the pediatrician for his first checkup. As he finished, the doctor told us, "You have a cute baby."

Smiling, I said, "I bet you say that to all new parents."

"No," he replied, "just to those whose babies really are good-looking."

"So what do you say to the others?" I asked.

"He looks just like you."

When I was a kid, my dad and I had a running joke. If anyone asked what he did for a living, I was to reply, "He's a sports mechanic. He fixes boxing matches and horse races."

Once I answered a teacher this way. She flipped out and summoned my parents. Dad calmed her down by explaining it was a joke.

"So what do you do?" she asked.

"I sell drugs."

Rose Wines

Rose Wines

I can't think of a great meal without a great wine to accompany. Hubby and I enjoy red wines, particularly port and rose. Wine brings out the flavour in foods (and sometimes adds zest to your guests!) A rose wine has some of the color typical of a red wine, but only enough to turn it pink. The pink color can range from a pale orange to a vivid near-purple, depending on the grapes and wine making techniques

The first is used when rose wine is the primary product. Red-skinned grapes are crushed and the skins are allowed to remain in contact with the juice for a short period, typically two or three days. The grapes are then pressed, and the skins are discarded rather than left in contact throughout fermentation (as with red wine making). The skins contain much of the strongly flavored tannin and other compounds, which leaves the taste more similar to a white wine. The longer that the skins are left in contact with the juice, the more intense the color of the final wine.

Saignée, or bleeding, is used when the winemaker desires to impart more tannin and color to a red wine, and removes some pink juice from the must at an early stage, in a process known as bleeding the vats. The removed juice is then fermented separately, producing the rose as a by-product of the red wine, which is intensified as a result of the bleeding, because the volume of juice in the must is reduced, and the must involved in the maceration is concentrated.

Blending, the simple mixing of red wine to a white to impart color, is uncommon. This method is discouraged in most wine growing regions now except for Champagne. Even in Champagne, many producers do not use this method.

Historically rose was quite a delicate, dry wine, exemplified by Anjou rose from the Loire. In fact the original claret was a pale ('clairet') wine from Bordeaux that would probably now be described as a rose. Weißherbst is a type of German rose made from only one variety of grape.

After the Second World War, there was a fashion for medium-sweet roses for mass-market consumption, the classic examples being Mateus rose and the American "blush" wines of the 1970's. The pendulum now seems to be swinging back towards a drier, 'bigger' style. These wines are made from Rhone grapes like Syrah, Grenache and Carignan in hotter regions such as Provence, the Languedoc and Australia. In France, rose has now exceeded white wines in sales. In the United States a record 2005 California crop has resulted in an increased production and proliferation of varietals used for roses, as winemakers chose to make rose rather than leave their reds unsold.

In the early 1970s, demand for white wine exceeded the availability of white wine grapes, so many California producers made "white" wine from red grapes, in a form of saignée production with minimal skin contact, the "whiter" the better. In 1975 Sutter Home's "White Zinfandel" wine experienced a stuck fermentation, a problem in which the yeast dies off before all the sugar is turned to alcohol. Winemaker Bob Trinchero put it aside for two weeks, then upon tasting it he decided to sell this pinker, sweeter wine.

In 1976, wine writer Jerry D. Mead visited Mill Creek Vineyards in Sonoma County, California. Charlie Kreck had been one of the first to plant Cabernet Sauvignon vines in California, and offered Mead a wine made from Cabernet that was a pale pink and as yet unnamed. Kreck would not call it "White Cabernet" as it was much darker in colour than red grape "white" wines of the time, yet it was not as dark as the roses he had known. Mead jokingly suggested the name "Cabernet Blush", then that evening phoned Kreck to say that he no longer thought the name a joke.[8] In 1978 Kreck trademarked the word "Blush". The name caught on as a marketing name for the semi-sweet wines from producers such as Sutter Home and Beringer, although Mill Creek no longer produce any rose wine.

The term "blush" is generally restricted to wines sold in North America, although it is sometimes used in Australia and by Italian Primitivo wines hoping to cash in on the recently discovered genetic links between Primitivo and Zinfandel. Although "blush" originally referred to a colour (pale pink), it now tends to indicate a relatively sweet pink wine, typically with 2.5% residual sugar; in North America dry pink wines are usually marketed as rose but sometimes as blush. In Europe almost all pink wines are referred to as rose regardless of sugar levels, even semi-sweet ones from California.

Twittering Harry Potter

The last in the series of Harry Potter movies will be released this year. I enjoyed the books and have enjoyed the motion picture series even more, especially watching and growing up with the characters!

Another actress from films has joined the ranks of Twitter.

She also cautioned followers that any previous Twitter/Facebook accounts purporting to be her are fakes.

Emma Watson has finally confirmed that she is the new new face of Lancome.Emma took to Twitter last week to hint, "A new venture is starting - what can it be? Follow my clues and you will see..."

Full House-ing At Home

Thanks for the internet!

Filipinos abroad can now watch Philippine TV shows and even movies just by accessing various movie/tv show sharing sites. And the good thing about it is that it's commercial TV ads free!

Right now, I'm doing my telebabad at Watch Pinoy TV. I'm currently watching today's episode of Full House and will be watching the movie And I Love You So starring Bea Alonzo, Sam Milby and Derek Ramsey after this.

Gotta go!

Full House - The Philippine Remake

I used to religiously watch the koreanovela Full House when I was still in the Philippines. I remember that the only times I missed watching the show were during brownouts so I was really excited to learn that GMA7 will be coming up with a Pinoy version of the show.

Last November 30, the pilot episode of the Philippine version of Full House was aired on GMA7. Richard Gutierrez played the role of Justin while Heart Evengelista revived the role of Jessie. Since I cannot watch the show live on TV, I began scouring the web for a possible upload of the show and luckily I found some in You Tube. Yes!!!

It's been two weeks now since the first episode aired on TV and I can't wait to watch the 11th episode on Monday. The remake is as interesting as the original one and the show's directors and scriptwriters should be really lauded because they are doing a great job.
