Cheap ice cream, 5$ roast pork head at No #1 Barbecue - nga gi paksiw to perfection -- beef bones in tomato sauce, the pochero recipe we look forward to on weekends and creamy Sara Lee desserts with Coke regular chug-a-lugs, ahhhh.
It is my third winter in Auckland and I swear to myself that I won't let the seemingly, never-ending cloudy days let me down. I have therefore compiled some sort of list that I go over each day to remind me that “Attitude means Everything”. I will not allow the dreariness of the cold dampen my spirits, despite the challenge of waking up every day 
EDSA 1 would be the closest I could get to experience "Philippine Independence". I was 19 then. I remembered our kitchen supply cabinet was filled with noodles, rice, corned beef, sardines, and eggs that seemed odd. My dad told me that the helicopters that were hovering the skies were waiting for instructions 
I vaguely remember how I first met them. I do recall, however, that she was the feisty one, while he was more calculating and reserved. She speaks with authority, always straightforward that people often misconstrue as being "haughty". 
Each year, I find myself in my 'brown, grey, and blue mode’, it always occurs on my birth month. When this happens, I am totally useless and turn to food for comfort.
