Jell-O Shots recipe

Preparing Jello Shots is very easy. All you need to do is grab a box of gelatin....it doesn't' matter what brand it is, and prepare it according to the instructions in the packet.BUT leave out a quarter cup of water from the recipe.

Right before you put the gelatin into molds, pour 1/4 cup of vodka (this replaced the 1/4 cup water you left out from the recipe).

Pour into molds, let it set and enjoy! wooohooOOoooo!

February 3 is National Jell-o Day

Its JELLO DAY! celebrate this gorgeous month by serving up some Jell-o shots tonight!

V-Day Fun Day

Just like every year, Valentine’s 2010 has, somehow, managed to creep into our realities after a dose of unreality brought about by the recently concluded Yuletide season. Somehow, we always forget that V-Day is coming which leads us to panic for the panic gift for our partner. Of course, it does not help that we have exhausted all our gift ideas during the yuletide season and that we are now required to celebrate and exchange gifts during monthsaries because everybody seems to be doing it. So we sit alone racking our brains to come up with the perfect Valentine’s gift.

Fortunately, for you, here are some ideas:

Box It: Buy an ornate box that fits your partner’s style and fill it with 365 reasons why you love him or her. Print out these little messages on pieces of decorative paper, or write them down by hand for a more personal touch. Phrases like “you smell good even when you haven’t showered”; “you don’t need make-up to look beautiful”; “you eat the white part of an Oreo, and give me the biscuits”; “my evil 5 year old nephew loves you”; “you never look at me in a confused kinda way when I talk crap”; or “you smell like Vanilla”. And then, on the bottom of the box attach an envelope with a note that says: “I don’t need Valentine’s Day to realize why I love you. I do that every single day.”

The Power of Facebook: If you know your partner’s facebook password, hack it and send a message to all of his/her friends asking them why they love your partner. If you do not know your partner’s password, send his/her friends a message from your account; however this will require you to add her friends up. (Heads up: according to surveys, couple who have common friends last longer; so it is actually a good thing to add his/her friends up). Collect all the answers, especially the cute stupid ones, and ask his/her parents and siblings as well. Write the answers and the names of the people who sent in the answers in pieces of paper, or print them out on decorative paper. Put them in a scrap book together with photos of your partner with you, or with her friends and family. Do not leave your own answer. Instead write a phrase that goes a little like: “If all these people love you, how can I not?”

Movie Magic: This gift is for the guys. Ask your friends or family members to occupy all the seats in a movie house that are by the aisle. Give them a rose each, and ask them to reserve e two seats for you in the middle of the theater. Leave a bouquet of red roses there or a huge stuffed animal, if your girl is into plush pals. Ask your girl out on a movie date and make sure to pass in the middle aisle (where all your friends are seated). Ask your friends to give your girl a rose as she passes along where they seated. This is enough to surprise your girl. However, the extra special gift that is waiting in her seat will seal the deal.

Cutest Carnap: Now this is for the ladies. Steal your boyfriend’s car, with the permission of his parents and siblings, of course, and take it home. Ask his parents to convince him that a family friend borrowed the car. Buy some water-based, washable markers and write sweet nothings on the body of your boyfriend’s car. Fill the inside of his car with pink fabric, paper hearts, and everything that reminds you of Valentine’s Day. If you are the naughty type, you could write naughty innuendos instead of

Remember that the best gifts are those that are personalized, well thought of, and have an element of surprise. Choose from one of the suggestions above, or create your own little wacky idea. But never forget to have fun while you spend the day of hearts with the one you love most.

2009 Party Gems: The Best of the Best

2009 was definitely a hot year for the Davaoeno partyphile. At the start of the year, most people were too quick to proclaim the party scene, dead on arrival (as in, the beginning of 2009) but a few events, and advancements throughout the year definitely made 2009 one of the hippest, hottest years during the last decade (2000-2009). Below are the Bests of the year.

Best New Beer: Coors Light has taken the cake for the best new beer of 2009. Although the brand is not new at all, a local brewer started producing and distributing the product. The taste is crisp, clean, and it doesn’t leave you feeling bloated. The beer has to be served ice-cold, and it has an indicator in the bottle (a white mountain that turns blue) to tell you that it is ready to serve and enjoy. If a low-calorie beer is what you prefer, this is definitely the drink for you.

Best New Bar- There is absolutely no question that the Metro Lounge is now the best bar in the city. It is where all the partyphiles have flocked to every weekend and it has hosted some of the best parties in 2009. The posh interiors make up for the lack of space, and the crowd is one that seems to bring back memories of the glorious party days of old. The drinks are great, the food is great (I terribly enjoy their bacon-wrapped mushrooms), and the service is impeccable. Plus, is there any other bar that serves free drinks?

Best New Drink- Gilbey’s Premium Strength has been on everybody’s lips. So much so that I am tempted to volunteer myself as their endorser, for free. It has a citrusy-sweet taste that will make you come back for more. The question is, how many bottles can you take? GPS, as it is fondly called in the party world, has seven percent alcohol, considerably higher than your usual bottle of beer. And even though this is hardly an ale, it has managed to replace beer as the most common drink seen in a partyphile’s hand.

Best Event Organizers- No self respecting Davaoeno partyphile has not yet been to a Fish Tank event. They have given us hot bangin’ parties throughout the year (Traffic, Confessions, Wave, Hypnotiq, and Unleashed). They have managed to tickle the local partyphile’s fancy with their brand of concept-parties, giving the local crowd a taste of Partyphile Nirvana. They bring in hot DJs from all over the country, and throw parties like it is nobody’s business. And although there are bigger, more established, events organizing groups in the country; in Davao City, Fish Tank Productions, reigns supreme. This is definitely no small fry.

Best Store/Shop- 147 Beer Avenue is located inside the Legaspi Suites compound, and even though it is not known to many, this place houses one of the funkiest stores in town. 147 Beer Avenue sells the widest selection of imported and flavored beers in the city, and they serve it with a smile. The store resembles a pub, with a flat screen television on one wall, a couple of refs housing the best beers from around the globe, and funny tongue-in-cheek statements about alcohol. This is what heaven would look like for the common beer drinker.

Best Local DJ- 2009 was definitely the year of the Torch. He has managed to cement himself as the hottest, most in-demand DJ in the city with his brand of crowd pleasing songs that would make anybody jump up and dance. He has mastered the art of staying in tune with the pulse of the dance floor, and manages to keep a cut above the rest when it comes to song selection. More importantly, he does all this with a ready smile, and good-guy demeanor.

Best Radio Show- Confessions of a Partyphile the radio show started playing on the air on the second part of 2009 and it has helped make the local partyphile’s life easier. This three hour radio show on 105.9 Mix FM plays music that is currently heard in the clubs, while updating listeners about the up-coming parties and events. The show also gives tips on how to throw house parties and make your own cocktails, Catch it every Wednesday evening, 6 to 9 PM on 105.9 Mix FM.

Best Chill out Spot- The Habana compound has become one of the best spots to hang out when partyphiles do not feel like dancing the night away. With a lot of pubs and resto bars to choose from, the Habana compound has something for everyone. What sets Habana from all the other watering holes? The crowd is pleasing, it isn’t as chaotic; and it is very peaceful. It is one of the few places where you could actually still converse while sharing your favorite drink (mine is Bols Peppermint from SomePlaceElse).

Best New Song- Patron Tequila did not only put the Paradiso Girls on the map, it has also managed to revive the demand for the brand of tequila. The song gained popularity during the fourth quarter of 2009 and has managed to capture what partying- 2009 style- was all about. With lyrics about getting drunk and not giving a care about it; this was definitely the anthem of Davaoeno partyphiles for the year just ended.
