competing always to myself...
me against my stubbornness
me against my laziness
me against my boredom
me against challenges
me against my endeavors

Swan River

September 15, 2008

One of my favourite thing to do is taking pictures (though not professionally) but this time these pictures are taken by my husband.  I just love the scenery and the birds, too bad I was not there with him.

Ang Talaba (oysters) Bow

September 2, 2008

Place: Tayud Consolacion, Cebu

Date: August 31, 2008

Goal: To buy 20 kilos of Talaba

It was tedious afternoon when my husband and I decided to put some color of adventure for our day, we decided to buy some oyster and to be eaten during sunday-get-together-snack. It was not my first time to go there, whenever we crave for talaba (yes i.e. oyster) we instantly go to ‘Lacion or Liloan Market to buy some. Before it cost 30/kilo but now due to inflation/gasoline (I don’t know if they only make the gasoline an excuse to increase their price), it cost 35/kilo.

 I was sad when I learned that due to pollution and environmental conditions the Talaba farm in ‘Lacion cannot produce their own talaba , alternatively they have to get their supplies from neighbouring province like Negros. Every two weeks or so they have to transport  thirty (30) bags of oyster and have it place on their own pond in order to live.

It is a very unpleasant  fact that the place who used to develop and produce this delectable food are crippled by the human abuse of the environment.
