HELP!!! house on fire...friend in need..

Fire according to wikipedia is the oxidation of a combustible material releasing heat, light, and various reaction products such as carbon dioxide and water.

Fire in its most common form can result in conflagration, which has the potential to cause physical damage through burning.

"good pm..my dearest friends. we're on the stage of calamity today, our house were caught on fire early this morning..we are asking for your support to give some of your used clothes..thank you and may Lord God bless you always" -lg

i received this message from my best friend yesterday afternoon, while having a text conversion with one of our barkada..my reaction at first "totoo ba ito?," most of the time kasi that best friend of mine loves to crack jokes on me..but i replied to his text as soon i got his message...asking what really happen..

so worried am i...least i can do that very moment was to text all of our barkadas to inform them what happen to him..they all replied and thinks all the possible ways to help our friend as soon as possible..

this kind of unexpected happenings, always makes me feel so blessed to have them as my friends... to be "belong with that set of tropa"..kahit na we seldom see each other, because of our different priorities and responsibilities...i am so proud to say that, at all times we can really count on each other..

thank God, his family was save from the fire, eventhough important documents are the only ones they manage to bring with on their escape..

hay..i am shocked with what happen to his family..di ko kc naimagine it will happen to any of my friends..the last time i sent him a message, that was his birthday.. "bawi ako next time...punta ulit ako jan pra makakain ng masarap na luto ng papa mo," i told him..ndi kasi ako naka attend sa birthday celebration nia kaya un sbi ko...tapos ngaun ndi ko na maabutan un cute na house nila..

soon.. i know they will be okay and God will bless them more and replace what was being taken from them..

nakakatakot talaga masunugan ng house...sabi nga ni gracita (kausap ko that time when i receive his message) "nku di bale ng manakawan wag lang masunugan." but of course yaw rin natin manakawan tayo diba...pero atleast un magnanakaw iwan sayo ung house mo...eh un sunog...your house will turn into ashes...

mga barkada namin...c ianne, gracita, roel, cris at girlie...thanks kc dito tayo for lui..sbi nia nga knina...thanks for the emotional support that we give and sa lahat ng help..regardless of the worth and kind..thanks ke ianne and her family...sa pag sabay nun mga things..pray tayong lahat palagi ke God...and take care of ourselves and our family at all times...

i thank God because ndi nia pinabayaan c lui and his family..dito lang kmi...
dito lang po ako best =) everything will be okay.

heads up guys!!

So curious about this: Do really guys find it hard to meet for the first time, their girlfriend’s parents..siblings..friends..plus the guy best friend?!

Courting rituals or ”pamamanhikan” is still very much alive here in the Philippines most especially on the province. Compare before, wherein our male ancestors had to do the “pag-iigib ng tubig or “pagsisibak ng kahoy” just to have the approval of the girl’s parents, suitors today have much easier and a burden free techniques, just bringing flowers to mom, being extra polite, knowing the stuffs that dad wants, and assure him (dad) to bring their daughter at 10PM on the dot (or else you’ll be going home with a black eye). But past or present…how do guys prepare for their first visit on their girlfriend’s house? hmmm..

Meeting the family…
Most of the guys still agree that when courting a girl, they are also courting the family, ’coz it’s a sign of “pakikisama” and showing how sincere they are with their intentions to the girl. It can also help the parents to get to know more about the guy and vice versa.

Heads up: guys..be sure to be honest as you are, don’t always play so nice or always agree or say “its ok,” …like for example, the mom prepares food which you don’t really like or you don’t even eat that at all, but you pretend you like it..that’s a NO NO..you must be polite enough to say that “I don’t eat this”, so the next time you visit, the family will prepare food that you could eat.

A guy said, build rapport…be kind to the eldest aunt up to the youngest aunt…mingle with the siblings in that way the family will able to see that you are really serious with the girl.

Heads up: how to build rapport? Research..dig down into that person’s interest..if the brother is into gadgets or a tech buff…be sure that you’re updated with that…that starts the conversation…

Going out with her friends…and a guy best friend…
Some get along easily with their girlfriend’s “tropa”, some are not…but it really depends on how the guy would react and welcome that set of friends of his girl. At first, it is acceptable that guys are aloof meeting the friends…’coz it like you’re getting a perfect timing or thinking of a good joke to crack…”cyempre like mo ‘magpa-good shoot’ eh..” ( eh we girls pa naman, likes to ask what our best friend’s opinion, if you are ok with them…hehehe…lagot!!)

Guy best friend…hmmm..it’s like a threaten to the guy (boyfriend)…especially if the guy best friend courts his girl on the past…or the guy best friend likes the girl too…tsk..tsk..tsk …but not all guy best friends are like that huh…be calm as possible as you can..un lang the guy act sort of like a body guard to his girlfriend…like as if he can build barriers…am I right guys? I can’t blame you for that…

Remember this…it is not really important to impress the family, siblings or the friends…the important is to show really who you are…’coz if it’s not…your like wearing a mask…you pretend…and that could come up or it may result into unhealthy relationship…guys…always remember that the girl really loves you if she can accept the whole thing and all true or negative about you..be good to your girlfriends!!!

Crunchy Bread Dressing with Bacon and Leeks

Recipe courtesy of Williams-Sonoma.com

Ingredients
1-lb. loaf rustic country bread, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 thick-cut bacon slices, about 8 oz. total, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 leeks, white portion only, halved lengthwise, sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and rinsed well
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 cup turkey or chicken stock, plus more as needed
1 cup milk
1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
1 cup chopped green onions, green portion only
1 garlic clove, minced

Preparation
1. Preheat an oven to 375ºF.
2. Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
3. Spread the bread out on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
4. In a large fry pan over medium heat, fry the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crispy and golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
5. In another large fry pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks, carrots and garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
6. In a large bowl, combine the bread, bacon, the leek mixture, the 1 cup stock, milk, thyme, green onions, salt and pepper and stir gently to mix. If the dressing seems dry, add more stock as needed.
7. Transfer the dressing to the prepared baking dish and bake until crispy and golden, about 1 hour. Serves 10 to 12.
8. Note: If desired, you can pack the dressing loosely in the body and neck cavities of the turkey. Secure the neck flap with kitchen string or pin it to the back with toothpicks or trussing pins. Tying the legs together will help hold the stuffing in the body cavity. For turkeys weighing 16 pounds or less, add 30 minutes to the total roasting time. For turkeys weighing more than 16 pounds, add 1 hour to the total roasting time.
