Everyday I go to CNN.com to find out what's happening around the world. Unfortunately, if it's not something sad, it's something tragic, disturbing or disgusting even. This is why I started this blog. This blog is all about feel good stories. sappy, yeah but we can all use one every now and then. Things that can lift us high above the clouds. :) ss_blog_claim=fb3c65eb182fdd37ae437a694d2ea7d5

Slow down

March 22nd 2008 14:36
It's Black Saturday.

We're in the province with our grandparents and other relatives hanging out together, talking and of course, eating!

In Asia, where street foods are common, and with all the spices available here, everything is just an adventure for the taste buds.

While our grandma and moms are cooking a big dinner, some of my cousins went out to look for something on the streets.

Street food here vary from something as simple as boiled duck eggs deep fried in orange batter to something NOT for the picky eaters -- chicken intestines


They bought a whole bunch of these plus ice cream sundaes from the nearest fastfood and brought them back home for all of us to enjoy.

It's Saturday. Everyone's on a Holy Week holiday. No work, no school, nothing to worry about.

Street food enjoyed with family on a lazy saturday afternoon. Chit chats and updates on each one's lives. Someone's going to college, another just graduated from grade school. One's going to the US in 9 days and the others are going for a beach trip in 2 weeks. He's in love with a girl, she just broke up with her boyfriend. pictures and laughters are shared.

It's a saturday. time to slow down.

yeah, i probably spent much more time with those cousins of mine last month and it was a lot of fun seeing my younger cousins and sisters getting along pretty well the way me and my cousins of the same age bracket were.
