Anniversary Special
Jogye Temple
At Myeong-dong Catholic Cathedral (Seoul)
This is my special blog, this blog won’t tackle Odiongan, but my life.
July 26, 2008. This is my husband and I 1st anniversary. Well he thought last Saturday was already July 26, (lol, he is so excited huh?) That’s why after visiting a Jogye temple (the largest buddhist shrine in Seoul) and Myeong-dong Catholic Cathedral, he brought me to Everest as part of the anniversary special. This is one of the happiest day of my life…
It was a so tiring day, my feet soar wandering around the city. He asked me what would I like to buy as anniversary cake, a normal cake or something special. Well after musing for a few minutes I just told him, up to you but I prefer a normal cake. Because I know we cannot eat a big cake, it is only the two of us. We will just waste money buying an extravagant cake. So as you can see the blueberry cake above is our first anniversary cake. It is so cute!
Late at night, after I have read a message from my sister that they are really broke as this time, I cannot stop my tears running down my face, then my husband came asking me if I received his e-card, I look at my spam folder and saw it there. When I opened the card I was touched and my tears run down again, call me silly but I ask him “Is this true?” He was shocked and said “What?” then I have to repeat my question. He laughed and says “Of course that is true”. I just cannot believed what it is written ” I am so lucky you are mine.”
“I thought…..” I have said a lot of i thought…finally our problem was resolved. We got a lot of misunderstanding with our jokes, moods and with our character. He said he was just kidding when he said I was his maid, that was a joke from a friend which he borrowed. He said one time they have a get together with his friends and they are drinking and some food fell to the floor, his friend said “Don’t cleaned it up my maid will do it ” maid referring to his canadian wife too. And there’s a lot more issues that had fixed that night. Maybe it only happened that I am very sensitive and we don’t know each other yet so deeply. Well we have been together for one month and 7 days, plus the 2 weeks during the wedding.
What I will not forgot too was when said he will help my family as of now that they are in crisis, I asked him why, I cannot stand seeing you crying. (I don’t want to see you cry. It sounds so sweet….
Maybe I could not write for two weeks, because we are going to China this Saturday as part of our anniversary special, it was his treat for me.
Thank you sweetie! I love you…..

Graduation Day
Dumating na ang araw na pinakahihintay
Ika nga ay araw ng paghihiwalay
Bakit tingin ko ay ordinaryong araw lamang
Walang dapat ikasaya o ikalungkot
Bakit? Meron nga ba?
Ano ang dapat kong panghinayangan?
Masasayang sandali sa piling ng mga kaibigan?
Tama nga ba?
Sa apat na taong nakalipas marami akong naging kaibigan
Ngayon araw ng pagtatapos wala na akong maintindihan
Kaibigan ka lang kapag may kailangan
Maalala ka pa kaya kung sila ay okay lang?

When the house is on fire!
This is our house, as you can see it was burned. Lol! The story is below:
It was a normal day when I wake up, after drinking coffee I collected the firewood that tatay had axed before he went to work. When I am done I had ask my sister to put the firewood at the top of our “kalan” to make then dry. When my mother ask my sister to cook something for breakfast and saw the firewood, she told us not do it again because it will cause a fire. Well I don’t know else what happened after breakfast I have been busy washing our clothes. My sister and mother went outiside to see if they can make the palay dry because at last the sun had shine after a few days of raining. They found out the street outside was wet (because it is not cemented yet). After some road works we (coz I already joined them) found out that our water pipe is leaking.
After making optional way for the water with my uncle help and Budok, the water in the street became little, suddenly one of my cousin is hurriedly running and shouting “You’re house is on fire”. I hurriedly run at our house in return, a big fire on our kitchen welcome me and I was shocked but I immediately throw a water in it, then my mother came, some of the relatives follow and help to kill the fire. Everything on our small kitchen was wet, including the eggs of the chicken laying beside it. The chicken already flew, left her eggs on fire.
Our mother scold us, I never knew that my sister returned the firewood at the top of the heat. It was a very tiring day, if our house was burned. I guess my father will kill the two of us, it was his birthday that day. And our gift to him is burning our house. Lol!
What makes “Turon” Special?
Turrón (Tagalog: turon) is a typical Philippine snack. Though many varieties exist, a typical turrón is plantain and jackfruit wrapped in a springroll wrapper, dipped in brown sugar, then fried. This somewhat resembles banana spring rolls. These are also known as banana fritters.TURON, when you came to Odiongan and ask where to buy turon everybody will guide you to PRECY’S (Percy) Carinderia, turon is a saba (banana) wrapped with a spring roll wrapper, roll in a brown sugar, then boiled (fried) in a large amount of oil. That’s the way I saw them cooked..
Percy’s Carinderia is I guess the oldest “kumuan” (budget meal) in town. I can still remember during my elementary days, you can buy viand (meat like giniling) in P3.00 only with soup huh?
Is it over? Nope! The party has just started!!!
Is it over? Nope, the party has just started! Every barangay fiesta you will found dance party for people, awarding night, search or the so called pageants. It is part of cultural heritage. As you can see at the above picture, rain or shine the party will continue. Well the management lossed profits here, nobody buy the tables and chairs, and nobody buy the lechon and beer. It is a big loss but the party or the search need to be continued. Those people above were the barangay fiesta management, they were soak on the rain as those people were soak watching too.
