Post Pandemic






    Rajans69 reunion was about to happen when this picture was taken.  Our venue then, was the Aristocrat Restaurant at Malate, Manila.  The three of us went there to finalize the venue, menu and other details for the celebration.  It is always comforting to be with friends from way back, we were high school classmates at Raja Soliman High School.  There were several meetings conducted before we came to this stage, and each meeting was well attended by our schoolmates/classmates of batch 69.  

     It was a well attended event, still many were not able to attend for some various reasons, foremost of which was the much feared Covid-19.  Most of our schoolmates who are now residing from United States of America (US of A) and in some other parts of the world, some are working and some are residents of their respective countries, were not able to come because there ban travel was still imposed at that time.  

    But for us, who were brave enough to risk our precious time on earth preferred to make go of the preparation and enjoy the camaraderie of our high school friends.  Thanks to our Rajans69 president, Mr. Rolando Reyes and the rest of the officers, including the three ladies in above picture.  There were laughter, jokes, dancing, eating and the non-stop sharing of life's unforgettable dramas.  

    It is worth mentioning and to thank our distant classmates, who made invaluable contributions to make this event possible.  THANK YOU ALL.  By the way, this event took place some two years ago, it was a happy time, so its worth remembering,

My version of pata tim

This is Friday evening, i just came from work, before i went home, i passed by the local store to buy some of the things i need for my planned meals this Saturday.  As i am at work most of the time during the weekdays, it is only on Saturdays and Sundays that i really has the time to cook.  Well, of course i washed, sliced and seasoned the meats and fish(es) i will use for my planned meals.  Breakfast should come easy, scrambled eggs, pancakes with maple syrup and orange juice will be a good starter for a day.  I don't think there is a need to go into the details of preparing scrambled eggs and pancakes so we move for cooking the lunch.  I have started to clean pork and prepare the ingredients.   Here is how to cook pata tim. 1 pork pata (front leg) about 1.5 kilo                Procedure: 8 pcs shitake mushrooms                             ...

after the storm

Rain, rain, go away... here in the Philippines at this time of the year, the rain never stops, storms and typhoons are always nearby... water, water everywhere.  Gloomy days just like my heart, drowning in emptiness but i find hope and inspiration in knowing that there are other people whose problems are enormous but still they are standing and keeping their fingers cross hoping against hope that the next day will be a better one.  I don't enjoy seeing miserable life, its just the thought that our problems are not unconquerable, that every problem has solution, and that everything will fit the picture at the right time. I have been spending time surfing the net looking for recipe and tips on good housekeeping and articles on health.  Oh i'd like to read on and on to have something to blog about.  Hey, i am going to be an expert blogger in no time, watch me.!!!    That is why heavy rains are at times good coz i will have plenty of time reading for my blog...

Spending Sunday Afternoon with Nicole

         Nicole is the daughter of my niece Emyrose who is now in Dubai.  Nicole has been with me since she was seven years old and she is now eleven and is in grade VI.  It's been a month since the school had started and the hustles of first months has taken a tool for both of us.  Buying school things, books,uniforms, shoes, bags and all the writing tools that goes with it.           And so this is the first Sunday that I can spend alone (?) i hope, but luckily, Nicole wanted to come and see the place other than the school door.  Surely, we did had a fun Sunday afternoon, shopping for some new clothes, because she has grown taller.  Ah! how time flies, we saw some tees on sale and shorts too.  But before that I did pay my bills, phone,cable and water.               We were at the Lucky Dragon Mall in Manila. Walking the aisles of the mall and looking for things...
