Reviving Buffy the Vampire Slayer


Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of my fave Vampire TV Series.  The first Vampire TV Series that I had watched from the beginning until the end of its season.  As I remembered, I hate how it ended.  I was expecting more from its ending.  Well, it happened awhile ago that I read an article here in the net about the reviving of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie that was filmed in 1992.  As soon as I’ve finished reading it, I felt the urge to search for the 1992 film because I haven't had the chance to watch it before. I am just excited about the news.  I hope it will be a great one. 

Warners revives 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'
Original film debuted in 1992, spun off to TV
By DAVE MCNARY


Warner Bros. is rebooting "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" with Atlas Entertainment.
Studio announced Monday that it's set up the project with Atlas Entertainment's Charles Roven and Steve Alexander producing along with Doug Davison and Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment.

Whit Anderson is scripting.

Warner optioned the feature right from creators Fran and Kaz Kuzui and Sandollar Prods.
"Buffy" first appeared as a feature for Fox in 1992 and spun off into the long-running TV series.
Roven said he's not disclosing the logline for the new "Buffy."

"Whit approached us with an exciting idea about how to update Buffy," said Roven. "There is an active fan base eagerly awaiting this character's return to the big screen. We're thrilled to team up with Doug and Roy on a re-imagining of Buffy and the world she inhabits. Details of the film are being kept under wraps, but I can say while this is not your high school Buffy, she'll be just as witty, tough, and sexy as we all remember her to be."

Anderson is represented by CAA and Wirehouse Entertainment.

Spicy Chicken Feet (Adidas) Adobo


This is the simplest Pinoy style Spicy Chicken Feet Adobo.  Chicken feet or what we commonly called "Adidas", when grilled, this is sold as street food in every part of the Philippines. Also, this can be seen in any Chinese Restaurants with dimsums.  I decided to cook this because it happened that my usual habit of Spicy Chicken Feet in RML Resto here in Kalibo, Aklan had run out of this.  So, instead I went to the market and just bought 1 kilo of Chicken Feet for 80 Pesos.  As usual, that's why i'm blogging this because it is one of my fave street food.  ;)

Ingredients:
**1 kilo chicken feet
*** Soy Sauce
*** Vinegar
4 cups of water (more water, more to soften the chicken feet)
10 Calamansi juice extract
2 tbsp. Hot Sauce
1 tbsp. Sugar or (accdg. to taste)
4 Bay Laurel Leaves
1 and 1/2 tbsp. Peppercorns (crushed)
2 tbsp. Cooking Oil
1 big Onion (minced)
1 big Garlic (minced)
5 red chili peppers (minced)

** Chicken feet are sold in the markets... Tell your "suki" to de-claw it.
How to prepare:  clean it well with rock salt and chop it half

*** I did not put measurements for the soy sauce and vinegar because every time I cook Adobo, I just pour those seasonings without measuring it.  Well, to give you some idea for this, just add 1/2 cup of soy sauce and  1/4 vinegar.  Just taste it once in awhile... If it lacks saltiness, add some soy sauce.


How to cook Spicy Chicken Feet?

1.  Prepare your "kawali" pan and heat it up into the flame.
2.  When heated, pour the cooking oil and wait until it boils.
3.  Sautee the garlic, onion and chili red peppers.
4.  Place the chicket feet, water, soy sauce and vinegar, bay leaves, peppercorns.  Close it and wait until it boils.
5.  When it boils, lessen the heat.  And, let it simmer...
6.  Pour the calamansi juice extract, hot sauce and sugar when the sauce quite thickens already.
7.  Let it simmer for more minutes... (Try to taste it and judge what's more lacking ;) )
8.  When the sauce is perfectly thick... you're DONE!
9.  Remove it from the pan and place it in a clean plate.
10.  Serve and Enjoy eating!

Sugarland - Stuck Like Glue (Video & Lyrics)

Upon hearing this song made my ears stucked with it like a glue... LOL.  Just love the song, the lyrics and its' genre.  I googled it and found its music video in youtube.  Wow! The video's awesome... Love it!  Really funny... I had fun watching it.  One of the best video for me.  I'm a big fan of them already... hehehe


 Sugarland, an American country music duo, is composed of singer–songwriters Jennifer Nettles (lead vocals) and Kristian Bush (background vocals, lead vocals, mandolinacoustic guitar, and harmonica). Sugarland was founded in 2002 by Kristen Hall with Bush and ultimately became a trio after hiring Jennifer Nettles as lead singer.[1]


Signed to Mercury Nashville Records in 2004, Sugarland broke through that year with the release of their debut single "Baby Girl," the first single from their multi-platinum debut album Twice the Speed of Life. The trio became a duo in 2006, when they also released their second album, Enjoy the Ride. This album produced their first two #1 singles (in the U.S.), "Want To" and "Settlin'," and won the duo a Grammy for "Stay." In 2008 they released their third album, titled Love on the Inside. This album produced three more #1 singles with "All I Want to Do," "Already Gone"and "It Happens." Their fourth album,The Incredible Machine was released on October 19, 2010 in both a standard and deluxe edition.




Absolutely no one that knows me better

No one that can make me feel so good




How did we stay so long together?
Everybody, everybody said we never would
And just when I, I start to think they're right
That love has died

[Chorus]
There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time?
There you go pulling me right back in
Right back in
Right back in
And I know, I'm never letting this go

I'm stuck on you
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue

Some days I don't feel like trying
Some days you know I wanna just give up
When it doesn't matter who's right, fight about it all night
Had enough
You give me that look
"I'm sorry baby let's make up"
You do that thing that makes me laugh
And just like that

[Chorus]

You almost stay out, too stuck together from the ATL
Feeling kinda sick?
Just a spoon full of sugar make it better real quick

I say
Whatcha gonna do with that?
Come on over here with that
Sugar sticky sweet stuff
Come on give me that stuff
Everybody wants some
Melodies that get stuck

Up in your head (X3)

Stuck like glue
You and me together, say, it's all I wanna do
I said

[Chorus]
There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in
Right back in
Right back in
And I know, I'm never letting this go

There you go making my heart beat again
Heart beat again
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in
Right back in
Right back in
And I know, I'm never letting this go
I'm stuck on you

Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Stuck like glue
You and me baby were stuck like glue
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
