Okay, here we go, last Friday, It was just me and my younger sister at home. My mom didnt cook anything for us before they leave so i have no choice but to cook something for us. I check out what’s in the fridge and luckily, i found a fresh pork.
I don’t what to do and i do not have any idea how to cook it. I remember when i was in Highschool we had our “Home Economics” subject which involves cooking and i remembered some steps in how to make “ADOBO”
For those whose not familiar with this recipe, Adobo is a traditional Filipino food.
Since this is my frist time to cook it all by myself i took pictures in every details hehe
First, i wash this pork with water,
Cut them into small pieces.
I took a Vinegar (oops i hope im doing it right)
Then the soy sauce, (oh my here we go)
Crashed some garlics (do i have to feel the garlic?)
The last time i saw my mom cooking Adobo, i saw her putting Laurel Leaves, so i did and i sprinkled pepper (should it be crashed pepper or whole grain?)
So here’s the disastrous outcome hahaha (marinated pork with vinegar and soy sauce)
I used a charcoal stove to soften the pork much faster.
Here we go, i placed the pan over the stove
While im waiting for the Adobo, i cooked rice, and im happy that ive cooked it perfectly well…. cheers!!
After a few minutes, i check it again, see! its boiling now
Now its freakingly boiling…i’ll wait until the the pork absorbs the sauces
Finally im done!!b hooray cheers!!
My first time to cook Adobo
Its perfect to match up with this very cold iced tea!!
Now, here’s the bigger problem, i have to clean all these mess..uh oh!!

Commonly, we used Lapu-lapu fish for this kind of dish. My mom made some twist and make use of Tilapia instead Lapu-lapu.
Now here’s how to cook a Sweet and Sour Tilapia
Ingredients:
1 whole Tilapia, about 1.5 kg., scaled and gutted
salt and pepper. You can also vut it into pieces if you want to
1 tbsp. of cornstarch
3 cups of cooking oil for deep frying
For the sweet and sour sauce:
1 cup vinegar
1-1/2 to 2 c. of shaved palm sugar (or dark brown sugar)
½ tsp. of salt
1 tbsp. of very fine strips of ginger
For the garnish:
1 onion, finely sliced
1 small carrot, julienned
a thumb-sized piece of ginger, julienned
1 tbsp. of sesame seed oil
Celery
Make the sweet and sour sauce. Place the vinegar and sugar in a small pan and set over medium heat. Cook without stirring until the sugar dissolves. Swirl the pan and boil over medium heat for 15 to 25 minutes or until syrupy. Add the salt and ginger during the last five minutes of cooking.
While the sauce cooks, prepare the fish. Heat the cooking oil in a wok or frying pan. Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Cut three to four diagonal incisions about half an inch deep on both sides of the fish (what is referred to as “scoring”). Season the fish with salt and pepper, rubbing inside the cavity and incisions. Dust with cornstarch or tapioca starch.
Flip the fish when the underside is done and fry the other side for even cooking and texture. Scoop out the fish and drain on paper towels. Transfer to a serving platter and scatter the prepared garnishes on top. Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the fish and vegetables.

Eating Ice cream is a perfect time to do during this hot sunny weather and it could be more exciting if you add up some colorful twist. Just like my Cheese-Flavored Ice cream topped with my favorite Gummy Bears. It is a perfect combination as it gives you a chewy delights as the ice cream melts in your mouth. Yummy! you can also try other stuffs like sprinkles, mallows or chocolate chips!

Senator Mar Roxas filed a resolution declaring January 25 , the date of birth of former President Corazon Aquino, as ” Cory Aquino Day”
President Cory who passed away on August 1, deserves to be honored yearly for her crucial role in the revival of democracy in our country. According to the senator, everyone should look up to Cory as a symbol of he fight against corruption.
Former President has demonstrated in the clearest terms that steep moral values and strength character are what our nation need in times of unabated corruption and political and social decay.
During her Administration, Corazon Aquino , endearingly called as “tita Cory” by the people, took on the mission to run after the riches stolen from the nation during Martial Law years!
The House of Representative were also expected to pass a similar resolution!
Well, i think President Cory deserves it!
