How to play “ukelele”…hmmm…but not really this way. Oh heck, just read.
Our family’s little Juan, my youngest grandkid, really belts out songs at his early, 1 year old, age.
Songs taught by brod & 2 sisters plus the ones he hears & sees from tv programs.
(Fanatic of x-factor & “Carlie”)
1.8 years old last Christmas, I decided to gift him with “ukelele” and watch what good will this do to him
& in his inclination to singing.
Initially, this is how…

I said no, that’s not the way.
And he abided…asking: this way?

NO! You have to strum it. Come here I’ll show you.
“It’s ok. I’ll just sing”.

A gloomy day commiserating with Typhoon Yolanda’s ravaged victims & survivors.
In Manila, we are safe & sound. Everything is normal.
But this shot sort of sympathizes with our fellowmen down mid & south.
Could imply worldwide feeling & sympathy towards victims & survivors of Typhoon Yolanda
that ravaged Southern Luzon, Visayas & Northern Mindanao regions of the country.
The outpouring of worldwide support, acting as one, including those from China & Hongkong
with whom Philippines is undergoing top notch “hassles”, clearly spells…”BROTHERHOOD”
and this is…more than “FRIENDS”.
To my foreign viewers & readers, you know who you are (while I am forever thankful),
YOUR HELP WILL GO A VERY LONG LONG LONG WAY.
Our Red Cross is always here to assist you.
Thank you…”my brothers and sisters”.

Wide acceptance of delectable “masterfully concocted” food is NOT plain “Bara Bara” invention.
SUMPTUOUS FOOD IS NOT PLAIN INVENTION.
(Click here or above title to proceed to my Few Things About Recipes, Ingredients & Procedures page)
It is the “accurate & proper harmony of ingredients and flavors used in precise technological production sequence
to come up with desired taste-not of the maker but that of the patrons”.
In short, you, your loved ones and friends are not your “clients”.
Fact of life is: they will not come to your restaurant, café, bar, joint etc. always.
Most of the time, they are not the paying clients.
You will find real and comebacking customers if your concoctions are enjoyably approved by them.
Test your recipes with people you don’t know.
Collate their comments sent through “anonymous emails” (and you know the reason why…)
If your batting average is high, chances are, your masterpiece will make it.

The BEST I’ve tasted in Ho Chi Mihn, Vietnam.
Mega tender beef strips, veggies galore, boiled in coconut husk & in its own juice.

HongKong Master Cook @ Macapagal Avenue, Pasay City
Marilyn’s & my favorite:
The long All Saints’ Day vacation is a bore should wifey and I will just stay home. Kids and grandkids were out on their own.
Was ready for a long road trip with food tests of different eateries & restos on the side. So, took off headed north of Manila.
For apparent in-efficiency, the gas station gave me headache when loading gasoline.
This prompted me to conclude that God of Travel wouldn’t want me to proceed north. Drove towards south.
Feeling hungry as it was 11:45am the nearest food heaven we can think of was our family’s favorite when it comes to “paluto”
(you do the marketing of food you like to eat, mostly sea foods, and they do the cooking plus serving)
is Hongkong Master Cook along Macapagal Avenue, Pasay City.
They do great “sinigang” (tamarind soup) job. Their “inihaw na liempo” (char-grilled pork belly) is a masterpiece
by just plain dry rubbing strips with salt-pepper combi…and that’s it. The best I’ve tasted. Simple.
Kitchen works for crabs, shrimps, fish, mussels & oysters will also make you come back tagging along the whole family
and lots of friends.
Service is A-1. Cooking fees quite high but worth the bucks.
Reasons why it’s 1 of our head-ons always.
Learned from a staff that the firm, including Yakimix chain, belong to Barrio Fiesta Group. (CMIIW)

Whew, we both consumed 1.5 cups of rice each.
Can’t drive any longer due to fullness. Felt sleepy.
Had to go back home to take a nap at 3pm…which heaven’s blessing…we both woke up 12:30am the following day.
