Our taste for different things varies from one person to another.The way we react on something and our preferences are unique. There are things that we do voluntarily. There are things that we just can’t manage to do or accept. This blog will try to give you a glimpse of a few topics that I haven’t discussed in my former posts. I hope that this post would be informative and fun to read. This blog will be dealing with a spectrum of things that would probably play in your mind the moment you read the title.
Let me start with food.“Maselan” is one of the words that my friends and family members usually tell me whenever they discover the variety of food that I do eat and don’t. I grew up eating Filipino food cooked at home.Both my parents cook superbly!Sinigang, Nilaga, Menudo,Kare-kare, Pinakbet, Tocho, Mechado, Caldereta, Torta, Paksiw, Pancit, Dinuguan, and Adobo are just a few of the best dishes they can cook which rivals the best Filipino restaurants in the metro. This is one of the reasons why I don’t usually eat these dishes in other household. My sisters and I tend to compare the distinct flavor of our home cooked meal and those of restaurants.
Growing up in Malabon gives us an almost unlimited access to taste an array of different sea foods delicacies. My dad was a former fisherman and my mom was a former “taong-gilid/naghahayuma”. My sisters and I developed different preferences on the food that we eat. Ging who is the second child after me only eats fish and noodles (fish that we know), no vegetables, chicken beef or pork. Our youngest, Caryl eats most everything but meals with red sauces (Mechado, Kaldereta…). She prefers soups and pork (Bulalo, Nilaga, Sinigang…). My mom and I are the only member of the family that eats pastas, sausages and pizzas. Now I will give you a glimpse of my food preferences; what I eat and what I don’t:
a.I love eating pizza and pasta (spaghetti, lasagna, baked macaroni, parmigiana, baked ziti, carbonara, tuna casserole, macaroni salad…) except those in marinara sauce and seafoods.
c.I can’t resist the delectable smell and taste of tuyo (the only food that I dip in vinegar), sardines and tinapang bangus/smoked boneless milkfish. These are food that I didn’t use to eat before. My titas introduced me to different food when I was still a kiddo and I tend to like most of it.
d.I like eating warm Taho with sugar syrup and sago, Yakult, banana-que, sweetened camote fries, fish balls(squid balls, chicken balls, kikiam dipped in a sweet and sour sauce), tokneneng/kwek-kwek (hard boiled chicken/quail eggs coated with orange batter)
f.I eat only a few kinds of vegetables like upo, sayote, raddish, turnip, tomatoes, legumes, carrots, onions, potatoes, squash
g.I like eating Nissin cup noodles sea foods (the Japanese variety), Lucky me supreme (La Paz batchoy)
h.I like cheese flavored dirty ice cream, cold fruit yogurt, halu-halo, maíz con hielo, fruit salad and double dutch ice cream
i.I like Tortang giniling (Omelet with grounded pork and potatoes), shanghai, sweet and sour pork
j.I like fish but I only eat fish that I know (dilis, bangus, hasa-hasa, talakitok, matang-baka, tuna, tanigue, bisugo…). I love squid and I also eat prawns and shrimps.
k.I don’t drink alcoholic beverages but if there is such thing as a waterholic/iced-teaholic, I am guilty.
l.I like burgers and clubhouse sandwiches.
m.I like fruits (tangerines, duhat, santol, chicco, atis, grapes, apples, watermelon, melon, peaches, prunes, green and ripe mangoes, bananas, oranges…)
n.I like nuts (peanuts, cashew, pili, almonds, macadamia, pistachio…)
o.I like cakes (chocolate, chocolate mousse, mango bravo, fudge cake, black forest, rocky road…)
p.I like leche flan, halayang ube and gelatin
q.I love milk and fruit juices
I might have forgotten a few more but the list goes on. I still try to eat new things and try new stuff. Maybe I’m not just as daring when it comes to the food I eat. Now let me move to the second half of this blog.
To Spit or To Swallow
Just recently the media has made an effort to inform people of the danger of spitting in public. My stand on the issue is similar to my stand in urinating in public spaces, it’s a big no! It is annoying to see people spit unimaginable things out of their mouths into thin air. I just hope people would understand the danger of spitting. Aside from hitting an unknown target it also spreads diseases that are usually airborne. I just hope the public will refrain from doing these things for health and sanitary reasons.
About the other issue you might have been thinkin… I just can’t imagine swallowing… I’d probably just spit… always. Chao!
Everything was just amazing... I just thought that a not so tragic ending could make it more perfect. Loved Hotarubi!
Basilisk(バジリスク甲賀忍法帖,Basilisk Kōga Ninpō Chō?) is a Japanesemanga and anime series. The manga was authored by Masaki Segawa and published in Japan in 2003 and 2004, based on the novel The Kouga Ninja Scrolls by Futaro Yamada published in 1958. The anime, produced in 2005 by GONZO Studios, closely follows the manga aside from a handful of distinctions. The manga won the 2004 Kodansha Manga Award for general manga.[3]
The story takes place in the year 1614. Two ninja clans, Tsubagakure of the Iga and Manjidani of Kouga, battle each other to determine which grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu will become the next shogun. The deadly competition between 10 elite ninja from each clan unleashes a centuries-old hatred that threatens to destroy all hope for peace between them.
Just last week you could probably recall a certain news about a fire in Concepcion, Malabon. I live in the next barangay after. The fire devoured lives and properties far beyond expected...
I have many relatives in both my mom and dad's side that I truly don't know (by name, face or even by feelings). I have a complicated set of family (some tends to have 10-12 children on different spouses... or they tried to have many sons and daughters that are raised in a far away province). Me and my sisters are not even close to our cousins in my father side...
In the ruins of the devastation made by the fire that week a certain sight just made me think...
"Seen in a house in the middle of two other houses burned to ashes was the corpses of two elderly... a man and his wife... that seems to embrace each other while accepting the fate of death... this certain couple was my mom's grandmother's sibling and spouse... in short my great grandafather and great grandmother..."
It was said that because of a their age they couldn't afford to leave the place and just accepted the fate of being together 'til death...
It felt different for me for I truly don't know these people... I must have seen them when I was still a kid but couldn't recall or remember... for what it's worth, my mom and dad and other family members would go to the one night only wake for their bodies were almost charcoal that time. The son's and daughters of my greatgranddad and mom decided to just cremate the remains and have the wake for a day...
The incident just made me think that love truly goes a long way... and sometimes disastrous events can truly have a bittersweet hint to it...
"My great grandfather could actually get out of the house but he decided to save my great grand mom instead... too bad a burning post already trapped them in the burning edifice..."
May their souls rest in peace - forever loving in paradise...
1. This game starts with 6 weird things about you. 2. People who got tagged need to write a blog entry of their own 6 weird things. 3. They should as well state this rule clearly. 4. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. 5. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog.
I'm too lazy-- pls check nalang my recent tags wahahahaha
1. Each blogger starts with 10 random facts/habits about themselves 2. Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their 10 things and post these rules 3.

What image pops up in your head when you say or hear the word “Filipina?”
A smile. A mother breastfeeding her child. An excellent homemaker. A powerful leader and mentor in her chosen business, profession or vocation. Another smile, inviting you to meet her family and firends. A friend who’s there for you, no matter what. Ah, I’ve never met a Filipina — but I’d like to. An influential, affluent decision maker. A woman, confident and willing to go an extra mile to get things done. A woman I can trust to take care of my kids. A sexy woman. A mystery? A girl, shy and innocent. A fun-loving woman. A beautiful person, inside and out.
Endless, timeless images of a Filipina.
The Filipina of the Future deserves a more empowered, diverse image online. Multiple, complex, and whole.
We don’t seek perfection. We repeat: We seek balance in the Filipina images that are available online. We share our reflections about what the Filipina of the Future could be like, too. Dignity is every person’s human right. Whether the Filipina is a mother, a nanny, a decision maker in the corporate arena, a domestic service professional (formerly known as “domestic worker”), or a mail order bride, they have the right to empower themselves — through education, through equal rights in the household and the workplace, through connecting with people who want the same — and more.
If we provoke you to share your truth about what “Reshaping the Filipina Image Online” is all about, then we accomplish something. We might not always agree with your opinions or reflections — and we promise to disagree agreeably.
Something wonderful is happening at this advocacy blog and news site. Our contributors and commentators continue to amaze us with their insights and wisdom.
There are many of us who are working diligently to end gender inequality, thus promoting gender mainstreaming for our Filipinas and Filipinos worldwide. We come face to face with many realities, many perspectives. We’re learning how to help, in achievable ways, END violence against women and girls, human trafficking, child predators, and cyber-crimes.
At the same time, we don’t deny anyone of their human right to enhance their ideas of “Call Me Beautiful!” through (here are examples) body piercings, tattoos, hair coloring, or make-up — anything that makes them sexy (our term for attractive!). It’s common ground to everyone. It’s very human.
FilipinaImages.com’s organic growth and evolution happen because of YOU.
FilipinaImages.com was created on August 8, 2007 to make the online campaign an ongoing endeavor. The renewed campaign actually started on June 27, 2007.
Lorna Lardizabal-Dietz, Dine Racoma and myself (Noemi Lardizabal-Dado) created this news portal and advocacy blog for a timeless Filipina Image Online Campaign . Please register and post your Filipina-themed entries or link them here in this site.
All of us posted our own respective Filipina campaigns such as Lorna’s The Filipina Woman’s Image Online: We Have The Power To Shape The Future, Dine’s Let’s Fiercely Campaign to Reclaim the Dignity of the Filipina Woman and Reshape the Clean Image of the Sexy Filipina and my own How to Reshape The Sexy Filipina Image in 3 easy Steps . The campaign does not stop in our blogs. We want to continue to showcase and honor the wonderful, diverse Filipina images even after we have achieved a balance of “Filipina” Search Engine Results (SERPs).
