KC nga Maganda :)

KIM CLOUIE PADILLA

How long it takes to teach a 3 years old kid? Kim Clouie Padilla in short "KC" is my niece. She is a fast learner child because she learned things easily. She is a very talkative child. She know how to dance, sing and count. In this video, you can see that KC can tear papers and paste it on the bond paper that has a drawing of an apple and orange. She can also identify things and animals. She knew how to sing the alphabets. KC wants more thing to do. But before I teach KC she wants a food so I gave her food before we start our lesson.  KC learn easily when I teach her. It takes only a few time to teach her.

  

 She loves also ate fruits like apple, mango even it is sour, oranges and many more fruits. She is not "maarte". She is a lovely girl at home but when we go in the market like that she is quiet because she is afraid of the policemen. My mom which is her Lola said that she is very "makulit". As her tita I want to become part of her growing life so that I apply to her what I learn in the school like clay molding she knew how to form objects. Tearing papers and paste, cutting papers. I loved to teach her too.

AGILA TI NORTE

                                                         EAGLE OF THE NORTH PARK

  

   The Eagle of the North is a statue and tourist attraction in  Agoo, La Union, Philippines. . It is located   at Jose D. Aspiras Highway 2054 Agoo, La Union. A huge statue of an eagle standing like a sentinel at the entrance of the Marcos Highway to Baguio City.

  Many tourist stop under here because of it's beautiful looking statue. It was very huge when you come here. As you can see to the right fortune that was the eagle of the north before. When they put a color on it, it was more beautiful and attractive to the tourist. So many vehicles, especially to those who came here to just take a photo with their friends, family.
.

     

It become now a tourist destination of Agoo because of the beautiful view of the EAGLE.  

   

    

   I tried also to came here many times. It was rainy when I came there so that I have an umbrella as you can see to my photo. I look like an ant because it was very huge. I prefer to take a photo at the back under it because I'm scared to went up to the back of the eagle because it's wet. If you have a time and went to Baguio just drive along to the Marcos highway so that you can see the huge statue of the Eagle of the north. 
                        

WELCOME TO THE EAGLE OF THE NORTH PARK

Delicioso Dinengdeng de Ilocanoes

DINENGDENG

       Dinengdeng or inabraw is a Filipino vegetable dish that originated from the Ilocos region in the Philippines. During May, here in Agoo, La Union we have a tradition here to celebrate the dinengdeng festival. It is composed of different vegetables that are usually grown in our backyard. This dish use an fried or grilled shrimp as the toppings and to add flavor. Any variety of fish can be used also. Addition of this is the “bagoong isda” or the unprocessed fish sauce. Aside from being healthy, this dish is also easy to prepare. You should be ok as long as you know how to fried or grill a shrimp or fish and boil vegetables. My mother typically do shrimp, I recommend cooking it for a few minutes with the vegetables in order to add more flavor to the dish. My mother loved to cook dinengdeng because it is healthy. She always make sure that her dish was delicious. I loved it when she cooked dinengdeng. We Ilokano's love to it vegetables. It was the best dish that Ilokano people has. So try it!
