LP#8: Tubig

Minsan ang kulay ng tubig ay dilaw.

Isang basong may lamang malinaw at malinis na tubig sa aming hardin. Sarap inumin pagkatapos kumain ng saging ngayong panahon ng taglagas.

Kung minsan naman ang kulay ng tubig ay namumula.

Tsaang pula sa ibabaw ng lamesitang burl. Magaling na gamot sa masakit na sikmura. Larawang kuha sa Beijing at unang nalathala dito.

Minsan naman ito ay nagiging luntian.

Lalo na pag sya ay sabaw na hinaluan ng gulay. Kaysarap lalo na pag tag-ulan at malamig ang panahon. Yan ang aking halaan soup.

Ar minsan din naman ang kulay ng tubig ay bughaw.

Sing-bughaw ng kulay ng langit ang agos ng tubig. Ang ganda ng tanawin hindi ba? Syempre pa, para sa Litratong Pinoy, kailangan ko kayong i-tour sa bansang aking kinalalagyan. Yan po ang magandang Huka Falls, kuha ko noong nakaraang buwan ng Agosto.

Para sa Litratong Pinoy na may temang “Tubig.”

I am not a professional cook. My only claim to having a culinary background is a short stint as my dad’s teen ‘sous chef’ in his carinderia ages ago. Dad ran small eateries since I was a young kid - serving standard ‘turo-turo’ food ranging from the likes of menudo, adobo, pritong isda, dinuguan, binagoongan, bopis, munggo, pinakbet and giniling to merienda fares like goto, ginataan, pancit bihon, halu-halo and saging con yelo.

My father, a farmer in his hometown before working his way to becoming an accountant, definitely influenced my cooking in a lot of ways than I thought. My siblings and I were raised in a backyard full of fruit trees and vegetable garden. We spent weekends and the summer breaks running around with ducks, chickens, goats and pigs. I had wonderful memories of gathering eggs, butchering chickens, selling vegetables and the sweet aroma of preserved fruits. But my love for art led me to a degree in Architecture. Just few months after getting my license, I went abroad and lived independently at age 23. Definitely no maid, no cook, and a totally different food culture. Along the way I met lots of friends and spent what seemed a lifetime learning new tricks and recipes.

Now living in Auckland, I am a work-from-home mum who juggles time between work, fun and family - in pursuit of work-life balance. No matter how busy I am, I love the idea of cooking for my family. My blog chronicles home cooking greatly influenced by life outside my home country from Southeast Asia to Beijing and Auckland. And most of the time, being busy also means easy (sometimes quick), affordable meals.

  2. Gusto ko ang iyong konsepto. Ibat-ibang kulay ng tubig. Nang sinabi mong pwedeng dilaw ang tubig ay naisip ko ang “deepwell” na tubig namin sa Pinas… madilaw talaga iyon.

    Wala akong masabi sa ganda ng huli mong litrato.

    By the way, salamat pala sa iyong pagdaan sa aking blogsite kahit hindi ako nagiwan ng comment sa LP site.

  3. I’d like to suggest that you enter your blogsite with Bloggers Choice Awards either this year (not sure when the deadline is) or better next year if it’s too late now…for BEST BLOG DESIGN (at least). Your site can go neck and neck with this site http://www.karencheng.com.au/
    Although Karen’s website is different venue from yours, BLOG DESIGN competition can get very interesting if you compete.
    I love your website! The photos of the food make me drool with longing for Filipino food. I haven’t been home for close to 30 years. Matanda na ako! I can understand Tagalog but unfortunately, speaking and writing in Tagalog had weakened so much. But I truly enjoy Pinoy websites, which will refresh my memory of the language.
    I’m grateful to have discovered your website. Thank you.
