Baligang


While riding a jeepney in Daraga in Bicol, I saw an old lady selling baligang along the rode in the market area. My mouth immediately watered, remembering this fruit from childhood. My earliest memory of this fruit is when I was maybe about 4 or 5 years old when our family was living Rapu-rapu, one of Albay's islands. My father was a teacher assigned in that island. This fruit is best eaten after shaking them with salt in an enclosed bowl as seen below.

Kimchi Ramen in SM Naga


For my weekend in Bicol, I came down to Naga for the first time on my way to Legazpi. I had a couple of things to tick off on my wedding list which I have scheduled this Friday. Thankfully, I managed to reserve the videographer and photographer, both of which are based in Naga. After the contract signing, I decided to spend what's left of the afternoon in SM Naga since I haven't been there. I ended up having a whole body reflexology massage, and it was truly relaxing. Best treat I gave myself in a long time. I was so hungry afterwards, I ended up finishing this bowl of Kimchi Ramen :)
