MY TOP VIDEOKE SONGS

I've been thinking about those songs I often belt out whenever friends and our family get together for some karaoke singing. And these songs almost always are included in my 'repertoire'. See if you and I have something in common about videoke songs we love to sing to:

1. For Your Eyes Only
2. Almost Over You
3. Finding out the Hard Way
4. How Do You Keep The Music Playing
5. I Wanna Be With You
6. Out Here On My Own
7. Anything For You
8. Anyone Can See
9. Words Get In the Way
10. Weak
11. Tell Him
12. Huwag Ka Nang Magbabalik
13. Kung Ako Na Lang Sana
14. Para Sa Akin
15. The Only Love
16. Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know
17. Neither One of Us

That is all I can recall for now but I'm very sure there are lots more that I am trying hard to sing once in a while. I'm not really a microphone-hog but sometimes I just wanna let it all out and de-stress thru singing.

How about you. What's your all-time favorite karaoke song?

Basta Tokwa

With Lent underway, I had a bit of experimentation done at the kitchen. The result is a tofu (tokwa) recipe in something spicy sauce. Here is how I prepared the meal..

1 medium cube tokwa (cubed)
5 tbsps. cooking oil
1 red sili labuyo (medium)-chopped
3 tbsps. crushed garlic
1 medium sized onion-julienned
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tsps. ground pepper
2 tsps. chili-garlic sauce (courtesy of Mr. Maglonzo, paging Ana)


Procedures:
Heat pan, fry the tokwa until golden brown
Set aside the fried tokwa and then begin sauteing the garlic, onion and red chili in medium heat.

pour in the soy sauce mixed with the ground pepper and add a bit of water then let boil.

put the tokwa back in the mix, add the chili-garlic homemade sauce and let simmer for a few seconds and voila! you have an oriental-type of dish with an edge. Hmm, yummy!

Be Careful What You WIsh For

Yes, to borrow from that old saying 'be careful what you wish for, cause you just might get it. Somehow I get the feeling that I am actually facing that kind of situation in one aspect of my life. I am not willing to divulge it at the moment but perhaps in time.. It's just a bit sad how things you thought you wanted earlier seemed not to be too big a deal at all once you have them within your grasp.
