Fish n Crabs

Lito Lito — Tue, 31 May 2011 13:05:34 +0000

Hello Everyone,

I think this would be my last post for this month, I feel guilty that I fell behind the target of posting 2 blogs per week, I am sorry for that. On the other hand however, I enjoy being a student blogger for the month of MAY, many thanks to Will who is the teacher blogger for this month as well, I have learn a lot, and also to all Buddies that have posted comments at the bottom of my posts, overwhelmed reading those.

]]>Part 2 of my weekends habit hitting a fish market, last week I also went to the market but this time I did'nt go straight up to it. I got up a bit earlier than 5:30 and do some exercise by running a 5kms back and forth along the shore.Anyway skip to fish market again, here what I have got...Fish n Crabs.

Filipinos I have to say loves eating seafoods, either fish or the other kind of seafoods such as, crabs, squids, shrimps you name it. I have made one of the Filipino recipes in cooking crabs, I hope you'll like it We call it " Ginataang Alimasag".

No need to do lot of effort to have it done just a 30 mins exercise. First you have to dry up the crabs by frying them in a medium size frying pan. While waiting for the orange color appearance of them, prepare the veges that you want to incorporate there's no rules in choosing veges by the way. In this recipe I have put in cubed squash, 2 inches chopped sitaw's , pechay, and some chillis mixed them with coconut milk and thats it. I am not sure you'd like by looking only at the picture but I must say this is the kind of Filipino recipe that you would'nt forget once you've eaten it with white rice..Here's another one Fried cheeri fish should be prepared on the table with chopped tomatoes and a cup of soy sauce with a drops of lemon.

Hope you like my presentation of two of our recipes guys. Again I personally say thank you to everyone and to the BBC Learning english team and mostly to BBC for letting me part of a blogger student category. I promise I'll keep in touch.

Fish market

Getting up the bed at 5:30 in the morning, rushing into the car thinking that you are gonna be late catching these fish vendor selling live/fresh fish at the fish market. Thats my days off habit by the way.

]]>I think seldom you can find live fish at the fish market anywhere around the world. often you find them at the mall supermarket but not as fresh or live as you are expecting. Here in the city where I live, person like me that loves eating seafoods are gathering every friday at fish market not buying a ice preserved fish but a live and fresh one.

The deal of buying those fish are sometimes not per kilo you can get them as much as what is in the fish net or a pre-set amount or per piece, you can have a best deal if you are good in persuading sellers or vendors. If you feel that you've been ripped-off by them in getting fish that you bought in high price, I must say no you haven't, because its worth it.

Not only fish that you'll find at fish market that i'm talking about, you can have also a fresh vegetables, fruits and the other bits and pieces that your kitchen might need.

Hello everyone,

I reckon you would be amazed sailing in a calm Sea few clicks from the shore, on the 30ft long man-made wood boat, with the two Dolphins singing a crystal sound and splashing up the water fews meters away from you.

Deeply in love couple

You would be astonished if you came across with this lovely creature that invites your attention by staring at you, showcasing the beauty of their round huge Eyes while hiking around the foot of the Hill.

]]>This time if we travel further south, again another fantastic place you will find that suits to your summer holiday. Place in our country I am talking about is Bohol.

Bohol is also one of the best places to hit and enjoy in my country if you are really want a remarkable beach experience and an exciting expedition. Diving, swimming, hiking, having an underwater experience, taking a glimpse of the naturally landscaped Hills, Being an audiences of these friendly, playfulness, smooth skinny Dolphins, Beering, Well Beering shouldn't be absent on the list should it?

Beach, is it not relaxing having a couple cold Budweiser while lying the white sand for 2 hours?

Hills, check out. Have they got Eyes?

Before ending writing my short blog, I want to ask you one thing. Do you think you can climb this 60 ft high Coconut tree to the top without any safety equipments? Well, there is no reward for that just for fun, or maybe put your name on the Guiness Book and beat spiderman.

Need more pictures and topics about our stunning and wonderful places? Well, I promise that I'm gonna talk about that next time after this. Just because I'm so enthusiastic talking about a bit of our Culture now. We Filipinos are friendly, technically educated, hardworking, honest and religious. There's more of that, I just want it to cut it to the chase. One the best example is Manny Pacquiao...

]]>Manny is a Filipino boxer stands only 5 feet 6 1/2 inches tall a typical height of a Filipino which comes from the country side of the Philippines who managed to become a champion. His place is a southern part of the Philippines where poverty is serious concern. He dropped out of High school due to lack of support from his family financially led him to pursue boxing. He started his amateur career at the age of 14, professional? 16.

He has done a marvelous job that brought him into worlds no. 1 pound for pound boxer acquiring Titles that none of the boxers have achieved in the history of Boxing. Main Secret? I think faith in God, train hard, and never become arrogant.

Ending writing a bit of a history about Manny, I believe most of you that loves Boxing has subscribe on a Paperview already of the Pacquiao and Moshley fight May 7 US time. I think I have to tell you this, In Philippines even abroad every time Manny fights inside the ring, We are very supportive to Manny, praying, & watching the fight on the Tele. Businesses like retail Shops, and Transportations like Buses, Taxis, Jeepneys are slightly close and stop, Private cars are parked, you will find most of the roads that used to be busy are becoming empty . We are trying to gather in one of the places where we can watch the fight on the big screens or on the Tele.

Who do you think is going to be victorious tomorrow? I think Manny is likely to win that match. Power and speed are important in Boxing. What's your views?

Are you getting stressed from the office work? needs to chill out? Wants to be away from the Bosses for a couple of weeks? If you are, I know a place from my country to go that I knew you might love it.

]]>In the Philippines, We have a place where in Summer, locals like me is having only one thing mind that is to go and spend days there. That place is called Boracay......

Philippines, Boracay

Boracay is one of the best place to go for a holiday, you can find good Hotels, Restaurants that serves mouth watering western and asian foods, Pubs that have all kinds of wines and beers or any kind of alcoholic beverages and Disco bars that plays music where you would wanted to dance till you drop. But ultimately the main attraction of Boracay is its own white sands and crystal clear sea water.

Not only Filipinos are spending holidays in that place, it is also sprayed with people from west countries. They do sun bathing and lots of sea water fun, you name it. and When the sun goes down, Disco bars, Pubs starts their exterior lightings up glitters and indicates that a night party goers can come in.
