Oh La La

This is my first swimming party (and hopefully not the last) of the summer of year 2010. Nothing special; all the planning was hush-hush. Before we went to the pool, someone suggested that we buy a roasted pig (everybody's favorite). So off we went (there were two of us) to Elars and Elarz to buy a whole lechon, but luck ran out on us. It was very early and there was no available whole lechon for sale on that day. Next in mind was Ping-Ping, and the next thing we knew, the lechon was being loaded in the back of mah car.

We then proceeded to go to the suki market to buy some "healthy seafoods". In the list of must-buy "healthy seafoods" was: talaba (clam shell), alimasag, alimango, tuna belly, sugpo (for sinigang), and the never say die tilapia. I almost fainted just by looking at those "hell-ty seafoods".

After bringing the car at neck-breaking speeds, we  reached our destination, after which we unloaded our foods and drinks (the drinks were smuggled inside the resort, in cahoots with the resort security). All "healthy seafoods" were grilled Pinoy style (yung medyo sunog) and then the sugpo was made into sinigang. After cooking the foodz, and taking pictures of all of it (along with the drinks [para may panyabang sa Facebook]), it was now the time to attttackkkkk!!!!

Sorry guys, i have to post this blog now, dahil baka maubusan na ako ng mga choicest part ng lechon and the aligi of alimango.

Summer...it turns me upside down

Susana bagets, matatapos na ang tag-init ay hindi pa rin ako nakakapag swimming. Bakit naman kasi yung mga resort owner ay masyadong pinagtataasan ang kanilang mga rates kapag peak season. Masyado naman silang nananamantala. Ok lang sana kung US dollar o Kuwait Dinar ang sinasahod ko. Kaso nga yung sahod ko kulang pa sa pambili ko ng aspirin. Dapat siguro magkaroon naman ng batas sa pinas na kapag local tourist ka o kaya ay pinoy pagpag eater ka, kahit man lang sana 50% ay bigyan ng discount. Ang nangyayari tuloy kapag may nagtanong na foreigner kung napasyal na tayo sa mga magagandang beach sa pinas ang laging sagot ko lang sa kanila ay-was it here in the philippines, you f@%&in i*#@t.

Teka nalift na ba yung ban na bawal maligo dun sa breakwater sa roxas boulevard.

potang pinoy style

Bakit kaya hindi magkaroon ng batas sa pilipinas na dapat ay magpaskel ng presyo sa bawat paninda, serbisyo o kung ano pa man ang raket mo. Napupuna ko kasi na nag iiba iba ang presyo ng mga tindero o yung nagre repair ng mga gamit natin depende na rin sa istura nung namimili o nagpapagawa. Alam naman natin ang mga noypi, masyadong mapagsamantala sa kapwa niya noypi. Isa pa siguro, kung sakaling may ipagagawa kang sirang gamit, bago sana nila ito ayusin ay sabihin agad kung magkano ang magiging gastos mo. Madalas kasing praktis sa atin ay tatanggapin niya yung gamit mong sira ay kukutingtingin, tapos kapag nagawa na ay sisinuhin ka kung kaya ka niyang gulangan sa presyo. Kapag naman tumawad ka sa hinihingi niyang presyo ay bababuyin na sa susunod ang ipagagawa mo. Ganun din sa mga tindera sa palengke. Subukan mong bumili ng isda o karne sa palengke na maayos ang suot mo at mukhang palaban kang gumastos. Sigurado ang presyo nung tinda niya ay biglang tataas. Pero magpalipas ka ng oras at magpalit ka ng mukhang gusgusing damit. Kita mo medyo mababa ang presyo ng tinda niya pag lapit mo. Kung magiging matapat lang sana tayong mga pinoy sa isa't- isa, baka gumanda nang kaunti uli ang buhay nating lahat. SANA.

just another holy thursday (to the tune of manic monday)

Today is Holy Thursday, the day before Jesus will be nailed again (as seen in hundreds of re-enactments in different parts of the country). Nailing is one of the most painful things that a man/woman can do to him/herself, and is done to show his/her devotion to Him. I won't argue with their ways but in my opinion, there are lots of ways to show our devotion to one's religion. And nailing is not one of them. PEACE.
