My Man of Steel

I have always liked and admired Superman since the very first time. I've watched the movie not only once, twice or thrice... I have lost count, actually. I have also watched all the succeeding episodes--- be it Christopher Reeve still in Superman II and Superman III, Dean Cain (with Teri Hatcher) in the Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman TV series of the 90s, or Brandon Routh in the Superman Returns. Billy, my husband, would always call me every time any of these Superman movies appear on TV. He knows how an avid fan of Superman I have become! :)

And now, here comes Henry Cavill as the new super hero in the Man of Steel.





Well, I believe it's about time we watch another Superman movie after seven years! I missed the old Superman theme song in the movie, I admit, but I was able to appreciate the Christian undertones in various scenes, to the ire of some critics. While watching the movie, my husband would whisper to me every now and then his observation that Kal-El was presented as a type of Christ when Jor-El, his father, sent him to earth as savior to earth's humans. 

Henry Cavill... after him, I wonder who would portray as the next Superman? Don't you think that's something to look forward to in the next few years? 

I'd like to end this post by saying that, for this (my) lifetime, let him be my man of steel! Oh, I'm sorry, I don't mean Superman this time, but this man...
 

Oh, wait... 
May I add these two which I find amusing?!


How's that--- Marilyn Monroe and Lois Lane fighting over Superman at the Universal Studios in Singapore. 


Now look, attempting to bring home water supply from Merlion, eh? 

Happy Father's Day to you!
Mwahhh!!! Cheers!

Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta: A Remake

There's a saying that goes, "One is enough, two is too much..." Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year. My daughter, Ayana Grace, bought a bottle of pesto from the grocery store last month (she usually does...we seldom run out of pesto sauce in our cupboard) and I just wasn't able to resist making another try of the Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta so here it is...

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the  long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin. What could be a better and perfect partner to fried fish than Ensaladang Mustasa (Mustard Salad)? Very simple and easy, here's how I did it. Ingredients: 1 bunch of mustasa leaves Rock salt 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced 1 small onion, sliced thinly 3 tbsps vinegar Iodized salt, ground pepper and sugar to taste Steps: 1. Cut mus

Ensaladang Alugbati (Malabar Spinach Salad)

This post appeared in my Facebook memories today. I'm glad it did! I featured this salad in my FB page a year ago.  Alugbati  (Malabar Spinach)  Salad (Ensaladang Alugbati). This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
