This Blog is an outlet for the random thoughts of an amateur opinionator.
What's an opinionator?
An opinionator is somebody who has power without responsibility, and the ability to spout off on any subject without worrying too much about the consequences of what comes out of the mouth. All you need is an opinion and the opportunity to voice it.
TV is full of professional opinionators. The internet gives the amateur his chance.

Living alone for quite sometime didn’t help me to do better in house keeping. In fact, instead of learning more household chores or cooking recipes, I ended up forgetting everything my Tito Medel has taught me. Tito has been a supervisor for Aristocrat once so he really knows good food. My Tita Nhia had no choice but to be one too, and since I spent most of my high school years with them, they taught me a lot of these “house” stuffs.
With new hopes that I can still be that “perfect-kitchen-guy” in the future, I resorted to watching anything that tackles good house keeping, home makeovers and cooking. For one, I have loved watching Rachael Ray’s 30 Minute meals who was once an object or our [Ron, I & Jc] kakulitan as we imagined writing her a letter suggesting that she make a 30 Minute version of cooking “Halayang Ube” for us. Watching Ray’s 30 Minute Meals on the Lifestyle Network channel made me aware of canned chicken or beef broth.
However, a perusal of the Shopwise Grocery shelves only yielded the powder, cube style or cream type. The nearest one that came to broth was fat free, and, therefore, tasted really bland, plus it was expensive to boot at an estimated Php 94 price at least according to that Lola who was also shopping then.
I wanted to avoid any preparation, lazy person that I am, so when I spied at SM Supermarket a cheap Php 23.50 can of Soup’er Fish Misua Soup, I decided to buy 2 cans so that I could try it out even though I’ve never heard of the brand before.
However, at that price, my expectations were really low. I was assuming that the soup would be really watery with hardly any of the mackerel and thin wheat noodles [misua] that are pictured on the label.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the thin wheat noodles [misua] were so plentiful it made the soup quite creamy, plus, there was enough mackerel to make it satisfying.
Well, other people seemed to have discovered Soup’er Fish Misua Soup, because the last time I went to SM Supermarket there were only 3 cans left. I would have gotten all three but one had a huge dent at the side.
Now, I’m thinking of that chicken tapa Mhel was suggesting last week. Long way to go!
