Do you love instant noodles?

Wednesday, August 22, 2007

We Filipinos are fond of eating at fastfood chains and most preferably love to cook instant meals, especially noodles. The fact that were in a fast paced society only tells us that we need to blend in with the population. Living in a third world country, such as the Philippines, only shows that an average low class Pinoy citizen would rather buy cheap and easy-to-cook meals, than prefer the usual way of preparing the dish served, which takes a lot of time, money, and effort. Don't you know that cooking instant noodles the 'wrong way' could harm our bodies and health? Ting! No idea?

Well, I got this article from one of my office mate in his blog. It deals with the correct method of cooking instant noodles to prevent additives added in the food's ingredients from becoming toxic.

Here are the correct instructions when cooking your favorite noodles:

1. Boil the noodle in a pot of water.

2. Once the noodle is cooked, take out the noodle, and throw away the water, which contains the wax like substance.

3. Boil another pot of water and place the noodle into the hot boiling pot and then shut the fire.

4. Only at this stage when the fire is off, and while the water is still very hot, that you place the ingredients into the water, to make noodle soup.

5. However, if you need dry noodles, take out the noodles and add the ingredients and toss it to get dry noodles.

This Guy Rocks!!!

Tuesday, August 21, 2007

I found this video of ours from an online streaming site, it kinda looked familiar cause it was tagged Smoking Kangaroos so when I viewed it, I was amazed seeing one of our band mate play our cover song from the Mayonnaise entitled, Jopay.

I certainly missed the times when we're just hanging out in the studio playing all the songs that we love, and jamming as if were rock stars in the making. lol Wish I could still bring back the good old days. Anyways, here's the video featuring my friend and band mate Lyle a.k.a the lead man. Rock on!!:D

Do the Kangaroo thing!

Tuesday, April 10, 2007

Smoking Kangaroos - A local OPM alternative and punk band born with friendship and of course a lot of beer..wheeww that was tough! Started in 2003 with Jam on drums, Lyle on bass, Jason on rhythms and back-up vocals, Ferdie on lead guitar, and Lei on lead vocals. It soon ended up merging some of the members from their brother band Eavesdrop. Aian, the drummer of Eavesdrop was imported to be the new bassist for the Kangaroos together with Keith as a substitute bassist. Although it was just a jamming session that formed the band and a lot of drinking..and it's really complicated! The rhythm guitarist was soon replaced with Lyle a.k.a “the lead man”, when Jason left for the US and Ferdie became the back-up vocals and rhythm guitarist for the group. They recorded their single song entitled 'Wasted Time' composed by their former lead guitarist. They also play revivals from the 80’s and the present. The band is settled in Cagayan de Oro and is proud to be part of the independent group of performers in the locality.

Jew You Rap?

Saturday, April 07, 2007





Matisyahu is the Hebrew and stage name of Matthew Paul Miller, an American Jewish Reggae musician. His music an inspring blend of religion, reggae and rap. So how's that for a change! He also revived the hit song from the Police entitled "message in th bottle". 'According to Matisyahu, while he was given a Hebrew name, his parents soon forgot the name and began calling him 'Matisyahu' as the Hebraic version of the English name Matthew. They soon discovered that his actual Hebrew name was Feivish Hershel. However, he was advised by his Rabbis to continue using the Hebrew name with which he had grown up'.
