Musicians I loved, so far

-


Michael Franks' voice is as soft as the cotton and the lyrics of his songs are fine poetry. I love the artistic energy and output he produced during his productive years. His discography is what I can listen to without a skip. Check his song Eggplant here.

Colbie Calliat is my less-than-a-month find but I really liked her Malibu Series (2016) and it led me to many of her past songs. I was so inspired by her voice and the lyrics of her love songs are so light like a honey poured from a foot above my morning mug of oatmeal. The fact that she is an independent artist makes me love her more. Check her top chart song Bubbly which I'm not so fun of and one of my faves from her, Goldmine.

I love the southern accent of Blake Shelton as well as his sexy-big-man but emotionally versatile voice. His country songs capture my beachy mood but I admit, I couldn't listen to all of his songs. I'll try my best to love more of his songs. Here's the Some Beach song which has some relaxing notes yet the lyrics has the hilarity, subtle hilarity.

The Corrs' Jupiter Calling Album (2017) also entertains me a lot. The band seems to get better in time and the album is more artistic lyric-wise than their earliest works. Of course, their instruments are all ear-catching for me and their voice still sounds to be like when they were on top 20 years ago. I can sure listen to their whole latest album without flinching. I love still love them.

I'll post some more of my favorites later.

Well, I hope you get to enjoy what I am/was enjoying, music-wise. Till next post.

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

Linabog nga Bisaya nga Manok

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...
