KASTANYAS as we call it in dear old Cebu, otherwise known as chestnuts. The sight and smell of roasted kastanyas during Christmas is enough to make me very nostalgic and wish it was Chirstmas every day of the year.
KEROPI - an ode to the toad...I mean...frog...ay...ang cute-cute (kawaii as the Japs would say) niya...kagaya ni KERMIT, THE FROG.It is not easy being green, but he's got the good life.
Almond na KISSES chocolates is just one of my favorite sweets to eat. However, I also like bestowing the honest-to-goodness kiss on my favorite people....*tsup!*
My 1st ever favorite hero - KENSHIN Himura from "Rurouni Kenshin" also known as "Battousai"....the hitokiri (assassin) from the Japanese war between the Ishin-shishi and the Shinsengumi - what's not to love about him?
Not only is he the fiercest and most deadly man-killer of all, he also an excellent cook and does the laundry too. Kaya siguro am just spoiled na...I have him as my ideal man...hahahaha! Not too tall though, and he's taken to wearing a fuchsia gi...but darlings, if you saw him the OAV..*faints*
KYOU KARA MAOU (God Save Our King) is one of the newer animes I favor today. Granted, its all "bisshies" or "bishounen" meaning they feature guys who can make you drop your clothes and run nekked to them....and may hints of shounen-ai or boy love (imagine, na engage yung Demon King to a guy who is the younger brother of his beloved godfather, dahil sinampal niya, ano yon?) but its really hilarious as a comedy. There's magic and surprisingly the story is also not that bad...*gush* ang gwapo-gwapo talaga nila...call me shallow..but my heart goes pitter-pat...
KITTENS - need I explain? need I elaborate?
Also known as baklava, the KATAIFI is also part of my sweet tooth list of victims....mwahahaha! This is defined as a Greek pastry made from shredded phyllo dough and filled with walnuts. When served it is often topped with honey. This pastry can also be served as a topping for other desserts, such as custards and yogurts.
I'm including this in my list coz its funny sometimes thinking about it. I used to wonder if I could change my name to something more out of this world. But, have you ever experienced people keep on calling you by another name? I've gone thru this less than 8 times in my whole life..but I've noticed that after I've introduced myself as "Catherine Herrera", they keep on calling me either "Kristine" or "Katrina"...was it because I spoke my name too fast? Last night, I got called in a phone conference as Katrina..complete with rolling rrrrss....so now...I've resigned myself to liking these names too...
Introducing my female Jap spitz...the last of the Mohicans - KOBEY is her name. Unfortunately I can't find my picture of her..so this will have to do..its still a jap spitz pup...and since all puppies look the same...well, she did look like this when she was younger..honest!
Last but not the least, one of my fave forbidden books - the KAMA SUTRA. I say forbidden because during my college days, I had no idea what it was...and was just hoping for a glimpse of it (it wasn't even in our dusty library!)
When I had money to spare (after I got a job), I brought one from a book club...sadly though, it was all text...*grin* no pictures...darn it!
Whew! ang galing..did you ever see my list? Anyway..hahaha for Kamasutra!

ReplyDeleteayan..164 pala..tinamad...
ReplyDeletethanK you to both of you..e-dit ko kaya...?...ah bisaya gid...

ReplyDeletebitaw, ig-pronounce..same-same..hehehe...salamat gihapon..
ReplyDeletecat, you love kisses and baklava rin pala. i go to a special baklava place here about 20 minutes drive lang. once you enter the shop nakakalula ang mga sweets nila. next time i'll take pictures and will show you ! =)
ReplyDeleteguwapo ni Kenshin. of all the colors bakit naman fuschia pa? HLH
ReplyDeletethe kittens are soooo cute !
ReplyDeleteyou should post more photos of Kobey. how old is she now?
trying this, but not successful "alt" then type 164, lalabas na ang enye?
ReplyDeleteyes. make sure that you press 'alt' and hold it down while typing 164.
ReplyDeletegot it?
Kastañas remind me of Germany in the sixties, when they used to sell them on the streets and I could smell the flavour kilometres away. Kataifi or baklava I just bought last weekend, ang tami-i-i-s! Kermit, my favourite muppet! Kamasutra, magugustahan yan ni, you know who! Thanks, Kat.
ReplyDeletecount me in...weakness ko ang Kisses (hershey's di ba, lucy) and Baklava...but I try to hold it, kasi '2 minutes in my lips, forever in my hips!' *darn it*
ReplyDeleteyup...I've just seen it...Whew! rin..hehhehe...
ReplyDeleteyung Kurbis ba is a kind of pumpkin..or stands for pumpkin in German?
I'm sure ma download na rin to somewhere sa internet..mwahaha!
ReplyDelete*remembers the toad of Jack*
ReplyDeletesige Lucy...am looking forward to it...di ko man malanghap (baka in the future may technology na where you can not just look at pictures, but smell them)...pero I am sure I will enjoy looking at your pics...
ReplyDeletehirap kc kumuha ng baklava dito na ayos eh.yung na try ko before sa Cyma...its a bit different from the one yung sa Tagaytay lapit kina Sir B...
sa anime kc, they tailored it na parang he's a clueless and mild-mannered guy..parang as if Clark Kent tapos Superman pala.
ReplyDeletein the OAV (original animated videos), it was a serious movie..walang humor..and he was really a cold-blooded killer there, slashing people with no hesitation....it rained blood they said...
there, he wore gray "hakama" (yung pants ng Japanese) and dark blue na "gi"...and yung buhok nya..mahaba pero high ponytail...gwapo nga rin eh..*swoons*
*stands up*
pero sa anime..its really like pink na "gi" or the Japanese na upper garmnet..tapos white hakama...
she is now 2 years old..and she just gave birth early this year...
ReplyDeleteang fave ko na lalaki na Jap spitz is si Snoisy..coz his dad was very handsome..mestizo Jap spitz eh...I posted a pic here somewhere...unfortunately, yung mas cute nya na kapatid, di naalagaan ng helper namin when we were out of the country one time..kaya sya na lang may blood sa orig namin na dog...pero ewan..di yata type ang chikas na mga aso eh...
Who? Who? si Bananaking?
ReplyDeletebakit in the 60's? wla na ba nowadays? or baka bawal naman mag roast dyan...nakup...
ReplyDeletebaklava..baklava...next week..ikaw na naman ang bibilhin ko...
naku Choie...you should say that if mas malaki ka pa sa ref nyo dyan sa bahay..hehehe...ngayon..you can afford to gorge on those stuff...hehehe
ReplyDeletetha's it..but there are a lot of different types: big, small, edible, non-edible (small, hard and used only as decoration)...
ReplyDeleteKastanien, ang isusulat ko at hindi ko alam gumawa ng enye, roasted sold on the streets is a normal snack for sale in a brown paper sa Strasbourg..how funny that my kids love to buy them there..Marones ba tawag sa French..
ReplyDeleteang daming name naman nitong Kastanyas..sa Italian naman "castagna"...
ReplyDeleteManos Greek Taverna. Where I ate my first baklava. I read it "baklakava"? Hehe.
ReplyDeleteKama Sutra...saka ko na babasahin yan pag pwede ko nang subukan. Bata pa ako e. HLH!
ReplyDeletehere, its only sold during the months leading to Christmas..till February...and most come from China..small but sweet...so sometimes may preserved ones nasa pack..yun na lang tyaga-an ko dito..
ReplyDeletebakla-va? yayain mo kaya yung gay friends...hehehe
ReplyDeletegumising ka na Faith...you're an adult..you can face to the fact lumampas ka na sa ikalwang dekada ng buhay mo....bwahaha!

ReplyDeleteKaya nga KAMA ang beginning ng title.
ReplyDeleteDon't bother reading it, ide-demostrate ko na lang. Learning visually is much better than reading.

ReplyDeleteAnong meron sa kisame? Ah, oo nga. Paintings ni Michelangelo sa Sistine Chapel! Truly a masterpiece! Na-stiff neck ako nun!
ReplyDeleteThis I gotta see. HLH!
