While the bus was crammed with grumpy stressed out passengers, a friend witnessed this scene  on his way home while looking out of the bus' window.  The rain has brought puddles and the ramps have transformed into mini waterfalls.  Kids  laid on the pavement  and played snow angels under the rain.

It has been a while since I shared a culinary post.  Nowadays, we have been eating more vegetables available in the local market. This is not your usual curry nor is it a typical pastel.  The taste is more adapted to the Filipino palate and it is a cross between a Filipino curry and a pastel.  If it were a song, it's more like a mash up. I like throwing things together and wondering what they would taste like and the first time I made it, it was a hit so I'm making another batch today while it's raining outside.

It was 2AM.  The trip that often takes 3 hours to get here to this side of the city only took us an hour and a half from where we live. The roads were empty.  Our sleepiness vanished as soon as we laid eyes on the International Airport of Mactan.  

Hands down, best seafood meal ever!  Ooh that spicy sauce!  My friend, Romina took me to Redtail Shrimps & More  in Cagayan de Oro for lunch.
