Matamis ang Tagumpay na Matatamo

Kung Magsisimula ka sa Ibaba

Ni Apolinario Villalobos

 

 

12..Matamis na tagumpay…maipagmamalaking karangalan!

11..Maipagmamalaki dahil pinagpawisan at pinaghirapan –

10..Palaguin ang mga ito upang tumubo ng tagumpay

9…Tiyaga at pagsisikap ang gamitin na puhunan

 

8…Kaya habang umaangat sa pag-akyat ay ‘wag masindak!

7…Lalo pa at patungo sa itaas ang iyong mga tinatahak

6…Mga baytang ng pagsisikap na palagi ring tingnan

5…Huwag matakot sa pagtapak sa mga baytang

 

 

4…Magalusan man ang iyong tuhod, ito’y di mo na alintana.

3…Madali kang makabangon dahil nakatuntong ka sa lupa

2…Madadapa ka lang kung may matitisod kang balakid

1…Kung sa ibaba ka magsisimula sa iyong pagsikap

and complemented by fried salted dilis (anchovies).
The fish were filleted before drying:  ka-runch and yum!

Champurrado, the genuine article, is a Mexican drink that came with the galleon trade between Acapulco and Manila. Basically, it is a mixture of corn flour and water or…

Fusion cuisine has received much publicity in recent years, as restaurant operators try to blend the culinary traditions of various immigrant groups. There’s Tex-Mex, obviously a blend of Texan and Mexican. Pacific Rim cuisine combines specialties from various island nations in the great blue yonder. California fusion cuisine is inspired by food brought in by immigrants from Italy, France, Mexico, the Philippines, and other places.

I went to Berkeley, CA one weekend morning to purchase an electronic item that a graduating student wanted to unload before seeking job prospects on the East coast. We got to talking about food, and she asked if I knew how to make banana lumpia.

I was taken by surprise; never heard the term before. Visualizing the two words, I quickly recognized what she was asking about: the turon !
