Welcome To Eastern Samar, USA!

Ows? Yea yeah, am just joking, this is still the Philippines. And to my makabayan friends, pardon that flag you see on the right. I did not even know it was there when I snapped this picture. But, in these days of more than sorrow, we cannot deny, that and many other flags aside from our very own red-white-and-blue, are worth more than our appreciation. They are still on the ground helping out, while… a di bale na!

Teka teka… didn’t I say in the previous story my lowly camera died out on me? Ah huh! But, the little pea of a brain remembered something… no not the phone that I used to take a picture of Marabut Poblacion – it was also already ‘lowbat’ at this time… something else.

But let’s continue my stories in the next entry, aight?!

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d

Carigara Delicacies as Pasalubong

Image
This was still on my joyride from Calubian to Tacloban, we naturally had to pass by Carigara. This time we "stopped-to-shop" oh ha?! My driver promised his three lovely daughters that he would bring home some pasalubong from Carigara, thus the 'shopping'. He went (I followed) to only this roadside store.., Well, he's been a driver for so long a time, I cannot contest his knowledge on where to buy the best of these pasalubongs! There are many stores on this highway strip, and I think they sell the same things! As the driver picked what he had to pick (and haggled with the vendors for more] I clicked hehe! Here's the honest deal about me and these sweets from Carigara - or other sweets from anywhere for that matter: I am not really too keen on any of them, such that I'd crave for, or plan to specifically seek them out. BUT - when I get started with ANY of them, there's no telling when I will/can stop. IF at all! I do not even know or care to know wha
