Independence Day Vacation

After a three-week straight of work, it's good to finally have a day off especially when it's a holiday. Goodby stress, goodby work, goodby pressure and hello couch/bed/food and fun. So, here goes.

"Mga anak, makinig kayo mabuti. Noong buwan ng Hunyo ika-12 ng taong 1898, idineklara ni Emilio Aguinaldo ang kalayaan ng ating bayan sa mga kolonya ng Espanyol. Doon narin iniwagayway ang ating pambansang watawat. At yoon na ang naging Araw ng Kasarinlan o ang Araw ng Kalayaan..."                     - from the stories of dear Lola Tasyang  : )

The Philippines Independence Day was celebrated every 12th of July. Filipinos would go to parks, watch parades and have a great salo salo afterwards; and that is exactly what we did, a great big salo-salo.
 
Menu for this day: Grilled Chicken, Pancit Canton and Four Season Gulaman juice.

It was our first time to actually grill in the open with live charcoals and all. It turned out great and even better than we had expected. Marinating of the chicken proves to be the most crucial point and calamansies help add that Mang Inasal taste. Starting up the charcoals is actually harder than it looks, promise. Good thing, we got some help from some good samaritans.

After a hot and hard day of grilling, it's nice to cool down and have some fun with family and friends. So, Upwords me, baby! : )

UPWORDS!


Mabuhay ang Pilipinas.
