DREAMS ARE MY REALITY

There’s always a kid-in-me that I easily like  magical, colorful and anything that pleases.  Blame my four-year-old son or perhaps it’s just really me.

I stumble upon this website that contains artworks of dream-like states.  I like it so much that I am sharing some of my favorites from the site —> ALMAGNUS.COM 

Let me know if you like them too.

PRISON BREAK

After our dinner the other night,  my wife Tina and I decided to have another DVD marathon of Prison Break Season 4 episodes until wee hours of the morning since we’re both off from work the following day.  Just like Lost, Grey’s Anatomy and E.R., we have lots of catching up to do with Prison Break. 

Our excitement to finally continue watching the series was heightened last week when I learned from my usual blog-hopping that that Season 4 finale showed the main character’s death.  Oh yes, Michael Scofield died and my wife is currently grieving for his passing.  She was affected and felt she lost a love one too, LOL.   FYI,  Wentworth Miller who portayed Scofield is one of my wife’s eye-candy.  I rest my case.

Its plot revolves on the saga of two brothers – Michael Scofield, a genius structural engineer who intentionally went all the way to rescue his elder brother played by Dominic Purcell who was wrongly imprisoned and was put to death row at the Fox River State Penitentiary, Chicago.

In prison, they encountered other inmates – Sucre, T-bag, C-Note, “Tweener”, correctional officer named Brad Bellick, and the prison doctor Sara Tancredi who fell in love with Michael Scofield.

1854From its first season to its last, we usually spend weekends, or days-off to engage in DVD marathon.  The story has tons of twists and turns. From getting into jail to jail break to being in jail again, a lot of scenarios happened in between the seemingly viscious cycle. It was never boring. There may be loopholes but excitement always builds up when a plan is busted or when they succeeded.

Until its season finale, every scene was gripping.  I was already half-awake but could not put myself to sleep completely without seeing its ending.  Michael Scofield and his team had to claim “the company’s black book-SYCLLA” for the government allegedly, in exchage of their immunity from captivity.  They had executed the plan and did the unthinkable. But in the middle of it all, the lead character’s nose was grossly bleeding  every episode just to point out that he has a hypothalamic hematoma which required surgery.  It was done delayed.  Next scenes showed- their mother, unknown to the brothers to be still alive, has something to do with the Scylla.

It was already four in the morning and we’re already experiencing natural sedation.  We decided to stop the DVD to get some sleep.  We still have 6 episodes to follow and haven’t seen the finale where Michael allegedly died. In my own quest to end my wife’s skepticism,  I surfed the Prison Break official website and scanned the recaps of episodes that can be found in this SOURCE.

It is where I read this :

“Sara calls to Michael that it’s time to go… but the Michael she’s speaking to is a child. Her child, Michael Jr. She says it’s time to go see Daddy. They arrive at a cemetery, where they meet up with Linc, Sucre and Mahone. Michael Jr. puts flowers on a headstone… while Linc leaves an origami crane. Everyone pays their respects. As they leave, we see the inscription on the headstone:

Michael J. Scofield
September 8, 1974 – November 4, 2005
Husband, Father, Brother, Uncle, Friend
“Be the change you want to see in the world.”

GONE WITH THE WIND?

One of the TV series that my wife and I are fond of watching on DVD is LOST of which the main plot revolves on the lives of survivors of plane crash stranded in a mysterious island.  LOST is a drama series with lots of twists in between. I don’t know with you, but we found it engaging.  The various characters are interesting – the lead played by Matthew Fox is a doctor, who became so close with Evangeline Lily’s who’s an ex con…

Do you watch LOST? 

We became a bit busy and LOST in watching it, we still need to find time to catch the seasons we’ve missed.

Following a drama behind the story of plane crash survivors unfold on a mysterious island can while away time.  But it’s far different from watching actual news on TV or via the www that a huge jet that braved the thunderous storm disappeared in its flight.  It’s scary when it happens on real life.

I was in brief moment of silence after I woke up this morning learning that  the news already confirmed  the missing Air France jet carrying 228 people crashed at sea.  Air France flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Paris,France disappeared in the middle of Atlantic Ocean last Monday.

Unfortunately, 3 days after the tragedy, no bodies were recovered, no signs of life was noted as they searched the spot where only floating debris were seen.  The black box of the aircraft is still to be found, until then the cause of this catastrophic incident is unclear.  

Real life tragedy is never entertaining.

Regardless of your religion, let’s pray for the grieving families for them to find strength in facing this awful fatal event.

FRUTA DE JACK

I was extremely surprised seeing its size as I came home from work last night… IMG_1685Its size was overwhelming!

Its fragrance was pleasantly overpowering it lorded our entire space.2I only saw its fraction as my wife and our housemaid already sliced it into half… Imagine its entirety!

3Its sweet fruity scent emanated from its starchy and fibrous flesh.

Do you like jackfruit ?

Well, we do,  especially if it’s huge and sweet.  Best of all, it was given to us for free!

What dishes of jackfruit do you like?  What about the seeds, do you cook and/or eat them too?

IMG_1691

It can be roasted just like chestnuts or simply eaten after few minutes of boiling.

Well, my wife Tina prepared a common merienda as our dessert last night : turon with langka.

Turon is a Filipino dessert made of banana and jackfruit wrapped in an eggroll wrapper.

With its multivatimins, antioxidants, potassium and fibers, I call it POWER TURON!
