Disney’s 32nd full-length animated film “The Lion King” is  based on an original story that has since joined the ranks of classic fairy tales and literary favorites. And now, the popular classic is in 3D for the first time ever.

The Lion King 3D - Official Trailer 2011

“‘The Lion King’ is about that moment in life when you realize that your father is going to pass on to you his wisdom and knowledge. The Circle of Life. Someday we all become adults. The baton will be passed on to us and we’re going to have to grow up.”

An original story, breathtaking animation, beloved characters and award-winning music set the stage for “The Lion King,” a Disney classic that follows the adventures of Simba, the feisty lion cub who “just can’t wait to be king.” But his envious Uncle Scar has plans for his own ascent to the throne, and he forces Simba’s exile from the kingdom. Alone and adrift, Simba soon joins the escapades of a hilarious meerkat named Timon and his warmhearted warthog pal, Pumbaa.

Adopting their carefree lifestyle of “Hakuna Matata,” Simba ignores his real responsibilities until he realizes his destiny and returns to the Pride Lands to claim his place in the Circle of Life.

The all-star vocal talents are Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, James Earl Jones  Whoopi Goldberg, ,Jeremy Irons, Ernie Sabella, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Robert Guillaume, Cheech Marin andMoira Kelly .

“The real heart and emotional underpinning of the whole story is the father-son relationship. At one point in the film, Simba steps into his father’s paw print and we see this image of his little paw in an enormous print. It is very symbolic. When his father is taken away from him too soon, he feels unworthy and inadequate, but returns in ghost form and tells him that his spirit lives on in his son.”

“The Lion King 3D” is distributed locally by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International through Columbia Pictures.

Loving Christmas Food : Puto Bumbong and Bibingka!

We Filipinos love our Christmas foods, with combination of puto bumbong and bibingka! 

On December 16, the Christmas season formally starts in the Philippines with the ushering of the nine-day dawn masses that are held as early as 3 a.m. in the many Filipino Catholic churches. Simbang Gabi in Filipino or Misa de Gallo in Spanish.The eagerness for Christmas day among Filipinos builds up on those nine days when they troop to their local churches to show devotion to and seek graces from God. 

After attending the dawn masses, many people take pleasure in eating puto bumbong and bibingka. I love both with grated coconut, cheese, butter and sugar. 

Bibingka  is traditionally prepared with rice flour and coconut milk and made tasty with salted eggs and butter. It is round-shaped, soft and spongy rice cake and yellowish in color.

Puto Bumbong  is a Filipino dessert that usually comes in purple color and eaten with grated coconuts and sugar cane sweets. Puto Bumbong  is made from sticky rice and prepared in cannon-shaped steamers.

New P1 Coin Commemorates Jose Rizal’s 150th Birth Anniversary

I have read that there's a new P1 coin to commemorate Jose Rizal. There will be ten million pieces of the new one-peso coin to be issued this month to commemorate the 150th Birth Anniversary of the Philippines national hero. 

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said its Monetary Board and the Office of the President approved the issuance of the commemorative coin as legal tender.

  

It has the same size, 24-millimeter in diameter and weight 5.35 grams,  as the current P1 coin in circulation.

It's a round , grayish, nickel-plated coin with the bigger portrait of Rizal  and the markings “150 years”, “Republika ng Pilipinas” , and “1861-2011″ while the other side has the new BSP seal, “1 piso” and “2011″.

This is just an addition to the current circulation of P1 coin.

Here are some pictures of old P1.

Christmas is a very special and exciting holiday. This is a time of year to get together with friends and family to talk about activities, fun times, eat great and delicious food, appetizers and delectable desserts and to exchange Christmas presents.

Christmas seems to get more expensive every year. To save money, you can start making some of your own gifts, and it is not as hard as you would think!

Everyone is always having trouble finding gifts that are different or gifts that will be remembered.  Just try to have an easy, stress-free Christmas.  Think simple gift ideas for everyone on your list. Be sure you make a list of all the people you need to buy gifts.

Christmas presents can either be store bought or they can be homemade. This choice depends on the mood and creativity of the gift giver.

There are homemade gifts that will be appreciated and chances are you'll save money in the preparing it. Making it now and while everyone's still shopping, you'll be enjoying Christmas happy days instead of getting tired and fighting holiday crowds.

I’m thinking to make a simple gift basket ideas. Why buy an expensive gift basket when you could make a much better one for anyone on my list. Boutique Christmas gift baskets are expensive. It is much more economical to make our own gift baskets. We are really  going to stores. We see in the groceries and supermarkets  many items to make a great Christmas gift baskets. Buy items to be put together in a gift basket, preparing for someone's favorite items or treats.

Another gift suggestion, is food, the favorite dish. If you know how to cook , think what is probably a dish that is their favorite. This is  great homemade gift that will make them very happy. It is just a fact that people love to eat.

Chocolates and cookies are great.  This is really an  easy homemade Christmas gift. If you know how to bake and make a chocolate, that’s great! If not, just buy them from the stores and make a mix of it. Put in a box or can or include it in the homemade basket gift.

Very simple and will deeply appreciate is a compact disc of music. It’s an easy to download music and favorite songs you can compile in a compact disc. Sometimes there are songs that remind you of your gift recipient. This homemade Christmas gift is something that anyone would love and treasure forever.

There are many ways to make easy , creative and economical gifts for our love ones and people we care.

Enjoy make the homemade gifts and happy holidays!
