Nasty comments, haughty statements, new crush and quick paella...

Have you experienced publishing a draft post, holding in haughty statements addressed to some visitors/readers who leave nasty comments on your blog? I did! Yikes...


I carelessly published this post last August 3, I forgot to modify the scheduled date I just knew it when I checked my blog the following day. The post was still on draft form and constitutes irresponsible statements. I wrote it at the top of the innings of my reaction to those irritating comments. I was really offended and piqued at that time. Ha, ha  pinatulan ko!

I keep back this post for several weeks. And today I  realize to rewrite the post. Compose a modest one.

I know that publishing articles tackling political issues has high chances to gain comments that are dissimilar to my political views. I should not be hurt or piqued. I should always think that I am blogging to express my biased to the exploited and oppressed classes in the Philippine society - the peasants, workers and the urban poor, that I am blogging  to share my views on the economic, cultural and political issues that the Filipino people are going through. I should keep in mind to always respect my reader's opinion. As Itin said I should practice zero tolerance. I must do that!

If you happen to read my haughty reaction last August 3. Sorry po. Also my apology to Itin and Meandu who commented on the post that I  hushed up.


On the original post that I kept,  I included this quick paella pics (that you are gawking) and recipe that I cooked several weeks ago, Meandu reacted, she said she was confused, what the pictures have to do with my rant.

Wala lang, maiba lang!
It's been months that I posted string of political posts, maybe...just to be different this time.

I do a lot of baking and cooking lately because I am inspired to loiter in our kitchen. I am inspired to cook because I have a new crush...
Pssst...don't tell my boyfriend.

He is an American blogger. He has a food blog. I gawk on his recipes almost every day, my goodness ha, ha!  If you will visit his blog, The Candid Appetite trust me...you will also be motivated to cook, ha ha!

Here's one of my kitchen adventures.
Quick Paella.
3 pieces leftover crabs (blue crabs)
8 pieces leftover shrimps
10 pieces leftover squid balls
2 cups of leftover rice small can of green peas, garlic, onion, red and green bell pepper, 2 plump tomatoes, spring onions, ½ tsp of dried basil, olive oil Salt, pepper, paprika, oyster sauce
1. The crabs and shrimps are already cooked so I skipped the steaming part.
2. I peel and chop the garlic, peel and chop the onion and dice the tomatoes.
3. I heat the olive oil in a cooking pot; add the squid balls, garlic, onion, tomatoes, and bell pepper, basil and green peas. Cook for a few minutes.
4. Add the rice. Cook stirring until lightly browned. And season with paprika, oyster sauce, salt and pepper.
5. Stir in the crabs and shrimps. Simmer for a few minutes. Sprinkle spring onions. Turn off the heat. Serve.

  1. LOL Reese, I advise you, don't ever get upset with trolls and constructive criticisms. I've met several bloggers who have zero tolerance with anything that clashes their way of thinking. Don't be like them. They are the real idiots. But you may delete the obvious trolls and retain the constructive criticism for the world to see.

  12. Sayang i didn't get to read your rant post. Pero ganun talaga, sometimes even if we don't blog about controversial issues, may dissenting opinion pa rin. So, tuloy tuloy lang :)

  13. Actually nga...I really don't like commenting on political posts. Dahil sobrang apathetic ko na ata :3 I almost always have an opposite opinion. And I'm not a person who leaves half-assed comments. Kahit short ang iba kong comments. Super antagal ko syang sinusulat. Kasi may internalization chorva. *lol*

    Anyway...tbh I comment on your blog last ^-^; kasi feel ko I need all my brain/emotional powers. hahahaha (I have a love/hate thing with your blog. it's forcing me to read on opinions different from mine :3 kekeke)

    So idk..baka awayin kita ulit sa mga susunod mong post. haha keep on writing :) And continue fighting.~

  14. Sayang, I missed reading that original (accidental) post. Reese in her raw and un-edited state hehehe. Maybe I tend to be opinionated at times too when I get to read controversial posts. But I keep reminding myself that the author is expressing him/herself, and on the said author's site, I should behave like a civilized visitor. I hope I have met that criteria :-)

  17. Politics, naku mahirap talaga na topic yan. Kanya kanyang opinion. But we all have the rights to have our points of views. Natawa lang ako sa ano nga naman ang relasyon ng Paella at politics? hahaha! Tama, idaan nalang sa kain yan.

  22. I guess you're right Reese, we have to respect our readers opinions same like they respect our opinions din. There's no right and wrong in expressing one's point of view. At the end of the day, what matters is what you believe in. :)

  23. Thanks for the paella recipe. I was going through your most-reads and I saw this, perfect for a day of experiment in the kitchen! =)

  24. Reese, you are very young and there is a huge world ahead of you. It pays to be careful in posting about controversial issues BUT if you decide to really express yourself, be prepared in reading their opinions, too! Politics is a difficult world and your actions may make or break you! Just be prepared for everything ...
