Catching Up...

          Its been awhile since I posted about something and its about death and  longing. So for now I will just make some random updates about my life.... First of all, its 1st day of September, Merry Christmas everyone!!! And a month from now I will have my most awaited semestral beak, where shall I go this time? Hmmm... Last year I went to Sagada all by myself and it was full of fun, thrill, new learning, adventure and at the same time relaxing and  full of reflection. It was really great! :)

      For the past months I've been addicted to cooking and making desserts and I do everything from scratch!!! I already cooked chicken square, chicken curry, steamed ginger chicken, chicken teriyaki, pan-fry fish,  steamed fish, beer-battered fish, lechon kawali, pork adobo, beef tapa, beef steak, beef salpicao, bulgogi and the latest that i just cooked this past weekend are the pesto dishes: pesto pasta and cheesy chicken pesto. Sorry I don't have pictures aside from the two, bulgogi and pesto dishes c/o Gerine sy.. Soon I will post the recipes...

     Last Saturday, my friends and I attended a school activity for Disaster Management which was presented by the MSC. What was emphasized  in the lecture is Preparedness and Awareness of what to do when disaster comes because the Philippines is a disaster prone country. Even though the Filipinos are very aware of it, we seem to always get caught off guard. It made me wonder why can't the Department of Education/ CHED or LGUs with help of  AFP implement a course for disaster management so that the people will be more knowledgeable of what to do. For DOE/ CHED: implement and make it a requirement for the students to take up a Disaster Management course to make the additional 2 years of high school have more sense or make it part of the NSTP (college). Then for the LGU's to have drills. I think it will make a difference. Well its just my idea, but whatcha think? Its because the way I see it, the present approach of public education regarding DM is not enough and there's a need to step up the game.
