Sa pag pasok ng 2009, isang pulang pulang pagbati sa inyong lahat ng Kung Hei Fat choy! Sana mas buenas ako sa year of the ox!  Ito ang aking seal tanda ng aking paninindigan sa litratongpinoy ngayung taon 2009.

A Chinese seal is a seal or stamp containing Chinese characters typically used in East Asia (China, Korea, Japan) to prove identity on documents, office paperwork, contracts, art, or similar items where authorship or proof of receipt is considered important.

Chinese seals are typically made of stone, sometimes of wood, bamboo, plastic, or ivory, and are typically used with red ink or cinnabar paste (Chinese: 朱砂; pinyin: zhūshā). The word 印 (”yìn” in Mandarin, “in” in Japanese) specifically refers to the imprint created by the seal, as well as appearing in combination with other ideographs in words related to any printing, as in the Japanese word “insatsu”. The colloquial name chop, when referring to these kinds of seals, was adapted from the Malay word cap during the colonization of the Straits Settlements, and is still used to refer to rubber stamps. ~wikipedia~

Ito ang aking lahok para sa LP ngayong Bagong Taon… Patnubayan nawa tayo ng Panginoon sa buong taon! Mabuhay tayong lahat!

Ang larawang ito ay ang Parola ng Cape Bojeador, Bayan ng Burgos, Ilocos.

ang ibang lahok ay makikita sa litratong pinoy.

Once the Ber months hit the calendar, I never fail to visit Lola Min’s bibingkahan atbp!  Don’t be suprised when you see the place jampacked with people waiting for their delicious bibingka.  The bibingkahan is near the Nuestra Senora dela Soledad de Porta Vaga church and an order of bibingka costs Php 70 while the puto bumbong at Php 15. You can even bring your own “kusilyo” (quesong puti or cottage cheese) and have them add the cheese to your bibingka.

So when you are in Cavite City, don’t forget to drop by Lola min’s and have a taste of their yummy bibingka and kakainin.

PS.  May kasama pang libreng tsaa upon request.

Here’s an entry I made in my morning pages a few days after the LP EB.  Sketched as I recall it from memory.
