A Tad Bit Late But...

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

The font's red'coz I want us all to get lucky this 2010. Superstitious much? Guess so but there's nothing wrong with wanting good things ahead, right? Tee hee. 

Anyway, New Year in Tacurong has been a bit less noisy this year. Sure there were fireworks and the old school firecrackers but I guess due to the undeniable fact that a mass of people have been murdered just a few weeks ago that some people decided to be just solemn this year. 

As for me and our family, our solitude lies in our prayers each night. We tried to be as cheerful this New Year. My brothers had some explosions going on and the louder me and my sister screamed and the scarier we got, the better it was for them.

I am hoping to really follow up my blogging. I guess I have to make that my New Year's resolution? I'll try. I work two jobs so it can be pretty tough to have a lot of going-on all at once but yeah, anyway, I'll just do the best I can.

Happy 2010 again everyone!

Dinner at Exit

So tonight Dad and I met up with a favorite aunt to have dinner over this popular place people fondly- or commonly because it is easier to pronounce and remember- call Exit. 

Exit because it is conveniently located by the exit road leading from the town's public terminal. But on the contrary, the road is never busy, a far cry from the town's main roads. It means vehicles never disrupt the ambiance of the place thus it retains that tropical country feel to it.


The area has sparse housing as most of the lots are either vacant, rice fields, or orchards. Whenever I'm at the place, I never fail to appreciate its pristine green calmness and cool grassy breeze, most especially at night. During the day, its surroundings are pure refreshing eye candy. Just imagine green and fragrant rice fields, perennially healthy wild grasses and tiny swamps. Exit itself boasts of cool huts encompassing a beautiful man-made pond which is teeming with tilapia, hito and such you could almost scoop them out with your bare hands.


This place offers a variety of tasty dishes but the main attraction so to speak is the fresh-off-the-pond grilled hito (catfish). I am guessing that because of of its quality freshness, the hito served tastes yummy with an almost creamy-like quality to its flesh. Every bite definitely melts in your mouth. I especially love dipping my portion to my sawsawan of calamansi, soy sauce and chili, which of course I prepared myself right at the table.
