My Youngest Daughter Had a Birthday Party

My youngest (bunso) daughter had a birthday (kaarawan) party. Her friends (kaibigan)attended the party. They had fun. They played with toys. They also played outside.

The kids (mga bata) didn't eat much because they were too busy playing (paglalaro).

Outside, they played in the swing (duyan) and in the sand (buhangin) box.

After the party, the kids got so tired (napagod) and went home (bahay) to take a bath (naligo) and take a nap (natulog).

Adobo Recipe

Adobo is one of the favorite food (pagkain) of Filipinos. It's best when eaten with warm plain rice (kanin).

Recipe:

pork (baboy) or chicken (manok) cut in cubes
soy sauce (toyo)
vinegar (suka)
clove of garlic (bawang)
brown sugar (asukal)
oil (mantika)

In hot pan, heat oil. Saute garlic. Add meat. Fry meat until a little bit brown. Pour soy sauce. Add a little bit vinegar to give tangy taste. Add a little brown sugar to balance taste. Simmer for a few minutes. Don't let the liquid get dry. When the meat is tender, it's cooked.
Serve on top of hot plain rice!

Rainy Season

May and June is the start of rainy season (tag-ulan) in the Philippines. It's also the start of the school year (pasukan) in all levels.

There is no tornado in the Philippines but there is typhoon (bagyo). Some streets are flooded (baha) because of clogged drainage.

Bringing an umbrella (payong) all the time will keep you dry wherever you go.
