Lechon tray

Roasted pig is a staple food in the Philippines. It is our “party food” as crawfish boil is for Louisiana. But I love roasted pig so much as do hubby. When I visited my paternal side relatives we brought a roasted pig with us to party about on our reunion. Since it is our specialty, of course we have something specially made for roasted pig, a lechon (roasted pig) tray to lay the crispy yummy roasted pig on. We were not expecting though that these kids would be carrying it from an aunt’s house two hundred meters away down the road. The tray has a special handle and of course, it is formed like a pig.

Buying advantage

A way to jive or go with the flow of the global crisis situation is to fine ways on buying things where we can save a lot. Just like buying house wares, it is of great advantage when we buy wholesale housewares. Nowadays, to combat with the predicament is to be wise in not only on financial matters but also we need to be resourceful and make use of the things that can still be used.

Red hot chili peppers


This is a bush of what we locally call “sili” or hot pepper. They are relatively small in size but they are much stronger than the bigger ones. Used in the Philippines as spice and or added in a ‘sawsawan’ or a sauce for an extra hot taste, sili is also used to make a baby who does not follow simple instructions to stop sucking its fingers when its about time by dubbing an amount to its thumb :-D. You will never hear of it again.

Double sack race

If single sack racing is fun how much more the double sack racing. It is more exciting. Each pair should be jumping hand in hand through out the race. The pair who reaches the finishing line first wins.

We were laughing so hard while cheering that made our stomach hurts. When you want to have an exciting and exhilarating group activity should you try this double sack racing.

Single sack racing

Last summer our whole church had a fun day together. We had a lot of fun. We had a lot group activities. One of our fun activities is single sack racing. All of the participants should be in a sack and they have to jump or run if they could. Who ever reaches the finishing line wins.


Ready get set !!!!!!…go!!!!!!

As you can see the participants and the audiences have a lot of fun. There was never a race that every participants have the same speed and win at the same time.

Tagum City christmas tree

I did not spend my Christmas in the Philippines last year, but I was able to see the record-high Christmas tree that was built in Freedom Park. In 2006 it was the highest Christmas tree nationwide, but last year it was divided into two equal lengths, the other half was giving lights to the people around the public market. They were tremendous. This year they are just fabulous with all the other Christmas lights and displays, they are very entertaining and ‘joy-giving’. May yours is full.
