Baked Mac In A Jiffy

Due to the long weekend, my Monday this week was hectic and my brain was in its unusual disarrayed state. It was already past 6:30PM when I remembered we had to eat dinner, somehow. Screaming from behind my laptop in the middle of the kitchen, I asked Warren what he wants to have along with the chicken lollipops. I volunteered the information about the pasta that I have in stock.
“Uhm, may pang-baked macaroni ka di ba?”he asked.
Baked macaroni is it then! But wait, I don’t have ground meat here, and it’s too late to go to the market now… BUT, I need to make the baked mac happen no matter what. And I need to have it served in thirty minutes.
Was I able to pull it off?

Holy Weekend with the family

This year’s Holy Week is different for me. Instead of staying all week within the confines of the house, I was able to take a short trip to Pampanga with Warren for a series of mini-reunions.

HOLY THURSDAY
7:30PM

Warren and I took a cab for Quezon Avenue where we were meeting up with my big brother, Ahmad. I owe big bro a lunch/dinner date for his birthday last March 3 so I took this as an opportunity to pay him back on that. It was also my first time to check out his crib so I felt like a sniff dog while I was inside his room, I think I was able to turn everything upside down checking if he’s doing a-okay.

Anyway, we went to Napoli afterwards for a sumptuous dinner. My brother ordered seafood pesto while Warren and I had hungarian sausage spaghetti… Who said meat isn’t allowed on Holy Week?

Flagellants, faith, customs and traditions

I took Warren for a short visit to my mother’s hometown in Barrio Panipuan, San Fernando, Pampanga last Good Friday to show him a tradition that this quaint village celebrates year after year. Needless to say, it was also a tradition that has formed part of my childhood.

Barrio Panipuan is about 30 minutes from our place in Balibago, Angeles City. We took the old MacArthur Hiway route, passing Telabastagan and stopping by a subdivision at the back of Paning’s to pick up my niece Asia and my sister Aissa. We took a left at Barrio Baliti and went straight ahead towards our point of destination. Just as we were taking a right to enter the village, we were slowed down by a melee of young men. One of them was holding a long rope which, to me, looked like a makeshift “latigo” or whip. He was bent over and talking to another man whose head was covered with a white makeshift turban, he had a crown of bougainvillea stalks, he had no shirt on – just denim pants, was barefooted and his back was soaked in blood. He was holding a cord with short sticks at the end. He whips the cord on his back to make the blood ooze, sometimes, the young man with a whip would take out a bottle of water from his pocket and pour a little on the sticks to make it look like there is just too much blood coming out of the man’s back.

A Pinoy Term for the Word ‘Blog’?

Tara na at mag-blag! Blog. This is just one of the many foreign words that have no direct translation in the Tagalog language.I’ve read an interesting article a month ago over at PauloMartinez.com that invites Pinoy Bloggers to go and look for a Pinoy term of the word “blog”. Weeks have passed and I went back to see if anyone had left any suggestions for the term, but unfortunately, there wasn’t any. I then wondered, “Why aren’t bloggers interested in looking for a Tagalog term for the word Blog?”

It’s not easy to coin a term

I think that one of the reasons why bloggers are not even trying on looking for a tagalog term is because coining a term is not as easy as it sounds. Aside from the reason that it needs to sound good, there’s also the problem on whether the masses will pick the term up and use it.
