Galaw Galaw sa Tag Araw

In Cabiao, we usually wake up at 6AM. But last Saturday, I woke up at 8AM. Everyone is already busy with their own thing. Still in my jammies, I found myself in the kitchen with Nay. She's preparing the ingredients for our lunch. I told her I'd help her out, so she asked me to cut the sitaw for her. And I did. After that, I asked her what else I can do. That's when I saw the guavas and I blurted out, "Talaga po palang mag-sisigang kayo!" Nanay smiled and said, "Masarap yan!".

So I had my first taste of Sinigang sa Bayabas. It wasn't bad after all. And there's no amoy kili-kili smell that I've bee dreading. Nay attended a reunion so Rellie and I had to take an early lunch with Tay since he won't come with us (and the rest of the clan) to spend the afternoon at Inang's bukid.

After looking for a Vet for one of Rellie's fighting cocks, we're finally on our way to their farm!!! Warning: This is a picture heavy post.

Every year, Rellie's family hold their Black Saturday family lunch here. What's more exciting this year is they have a newly constructed bahay kubo and I had the chance to be part of this family tradition.

Family time... bonding time Menu for the day is Sinampalukang Manok. There's also singkamas and pakwan for dessert. Plus minatamis na kamote. And RC cola. This is me loving the simple and laid back life! Bakit dito parang walang problema?

They have 9 mango trees in this farm. Last Thursday, 35 crates of mangoes were harvested here and they were able to sell it for Php15/kilo and Php12/kilo depending on the size of the mangoes. My eyes really lit up when I saw the crates. And yes... I've been eating mangoes since I arrived in Cabiao as in one to sawa! We're lucky that there's still some left today. I can never get tired of eating hilaw na mangga!!! Oh, this place is a real heaven for me. Nanay also packed mangoes for me to bring home to Manila. Kahit mabigat... inuwi ko talaga!

Drool over these mangoes! After the simo't sarap singkamas, hindi namin pinalampas ang mangga. Kung walang bagoong... mag-Patis. Love it! Love it! Love it!

After all the food trip, photo-op na!!! We started to goof around in the rice fields. The palays were already harvested so it's safe na to run around and play and be like kids again.
