Yacht-viewing at the Holiday Oceanview Marina, Island Garden City of Samal

-
Take your pick on this array of parked yachts! In my dreams... :)
Holiday Oceanview Marina (which must be the sister company of the resort called Camp Holiday where we stayed for two nights as well as the bus line called Holiday) is the first ever of its kind commercial marina and exclusive yacht club membership in Mindanao that provides world class docking and secure mooring facilities for domestic and international yachts and sailboats. 

Located in the in very northern tip of Samal Island in Ilihan, Babak District, the Marina has 110 parking slips for sailboats and can accommodate yachts ranging from 9.76 meters to 20 meters long. The facility is complete with water and power connections, showers, laundry area, a pump-out station, a convenience store, and a one-stop check-in and out facility with Port and immigration officials within the marina. It forms part of the nine-hectare integrated beachfront property consisting of upscale residential townhouses (Oceanview Village), a resort hotel (Oceanview Condotel) and an island spa (Oceanview Resort and Spa) under one complex developed by Holiday Business Group. 


Holiday Oceanview Marina is complete with supplies and repair facilities. In the slipways, attached to each post are floating pontoons made of Styrofoams customized and imported from the United States. Next to the marina is a parking space for trailers that pull speedboats.

Do you still remember how Sarali or Sirali taste?

This "Sarali" is a childhood fruit for everyone who grew up in the Visayan area of the Philippines. Also known as  Flacourtia jangomas or Indian Plum or coffee plum, Sarali is best enjoyed by pressing one fruit between one's palm, move it in circular motion until tender, and pop the soft flesh quickly in one's mouth save the seeds. Just like apple, this fruit oxidizes quickly and thus, gets dark brown easily. It can give one's teeth a nasty brown shade. Sour with a hint of sweet, this is a must-try fruit. I believe, the fruit has an economic value just like sarguellas and lanzones. *** *** *** ***  Related readings:  Possible Treatment of Diabetes http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2959214/ Anti bacterial property:  http://www.ijplsjournal.com/issues%20PDF%20files/july2011/1.pdf

When I searched for Linabog in th web, I can see entries on Linabog but using a different souring agent and usually the fish called "pagi" is used. Also, they attribute Linabog to the Cebuanos and there is one video which explained that the word means "throw away" because the parts used in the dish are parts which are usually to be thrown away, like the bony "pagi." Meanwhile, there is also a "kinunot" way of cooking which means "hinimay" or flaked for the Luzon. The name was also coined for leftover parts of fish or chicken. In Hiligaynon, the word "labog" means forcefully thrown away.  This surprised me because when I was small, I heard from my father and his friends about this linabog and they used the leaves of labog plant. So I grew up having some idea of what linabog cooking means and definitely, the Cebuanos' definition of Linabog dish is far from my Ilonggo definition. And yes, Ilonggos ...

TIKUM KADLUM (The Enchanted Dog, The First of the Ten Epics of Panay Bukidnon)

At the house. One day, Bulawanon engaged the help of Tikum Kadlum, a hunting dog with the gift of sensing the spirits, in cooking rice for his husband Paiburong and his brother Dumaraog who will be going hunting. When the rice was cooked, the brothers ate fast. Then, while Bulawanon packed the betel nut for her husband, Paiburong and Dumaraog dressed themselves, with Dumaraog suggesting they match their sashes and belts, since he is his brother's loyal protector. To complete their hunting preparations, the two brought out their long-bladed sharp knives, shields, spears, and lances from their gold chest and wall hanger. When everything is set, Paiburong bade goodbye to his wife, Bulawanon, who reminded her husband to be careful as he might meet in the forest one named Makabagting, who is accompanied by a man-eating woman called Muwa. Makabagting is a nobleman and a warrior who is widely known as having tasted human flesh. Paiburong went out of his house, and he heard a sound. It...
