Doon Lang

pumanaw na si DA KING ngunit gano'n pa man
pinakita nya sa atin na nakikipag-inuman siya
dahil mahusay siyang makisama...
ganito rin kahusay makisama ang SUMILANG...
sa INUMAN!

**********************************************

Kung natapos ko ang aking pag-aaral
Disin sana'y mayron na akong dangal
Na ihaharap sa'yo at ipagyayabang
Sa panaginip lang ako may pagdiriwang

Yaman at katanyagan sa akin ay wala
Kakisigan ko ay bunga ng isang sumpa
Ang aking ina ang tangi kong tagahanga
Sa panaginip lang ako may nagagawa

Doon ay kaya kong ipunin lahat ng bituin
Doon ay kaya kong igapos ihip ng hangin
Doon ay kaya kong pagbawal buhos ng ulan
Sa panaginip lang kita mahahagkan t'wina
Doon lang

Kung 'di dahil sa barkada ay tapos ko na
Ang pag-aaral na nagbibigay ng halaga
Sa awitin kong ito mo lang madarama
Mga pangarap kong walang pangagamba

Doon ay kaya kong ipunin lahat ng bituin
Doon ay kaya kong igapos ihip ng hangin
Doon ay kaya kong pagbawal buhos ng ulan
Sa panaginip lang kita mahahagkan t'wina
Doon lang

Doon ay kaya kong ipunin lahat ng bituin

PULUTAN: In and Out (Part 2)

Thorsten is back! munter werden! now i present to you the
continuation of the in and outs of PULUTAN. I've discussed
de-latas, de-sarsas and sitsiryas. Here's more!

Inihaw - grill anything if you can, inihaws are ideal pulutans.

In - I don't know 'bout you but for me it's Pusit! plus add
some Tilapia or Bangus, well that's perfect.

Out - You know Liempo, Barbq and the likes tastes great but
please if you serve it as pulutan it might as well be chopped
into bits and pieces if you don't want it gone within minutes.

Pinirito - Its your easy way out, just fry something.

In - Squidballs are not really pulutan material but i love it.
Most of you will disagree with Crispy Pata, but deep inside you're
craving.

Out - Itik fails to satisfy me, its like you're begging for meat
with this one. My advice if you really like itik, go get it from
Victoria, Laguna (the Amazing Race route) they got some fat
ass itiks down there.

De Sabaw - We definitely need some soup, especially

In - Lomi is great, tasty yet not heavy. This one depends on
the way it was prepared.

Out - Remember don't make your ulam your pulutan. Nilaga &
sinigang are definitely out. If ya can't help it, bulalo is nice but
without the meat.

Salad & Fruits - yeah I'm sure about this, yes you can!

In - Fruit salad without cream is good enough. but you can't
go wrong with Ensaladang Mangga. I'll bet on it.

Out - Buko salad & Macaroni salad. Don't go there.

Gulay - contrary to popular belief, vegetables are better pulutan

In - A spicy Gising-gising is a sure winner. Adobong
Kangkong or Kangkong with Bagoong is best.

Out - Chopsuey, Pakbet etc., just don't

Atbp. - these are honorable mentions

In - Atay, Tokwa't Baboy, Ice cream, Chocolate, Onion rings,
Chicharon, Balot, Abnoy, Instant noodles, Sisig and Isaw

Here are some pulutan tips that i can share for better drinking sessions.

• Always make an effort to make it spicy, it's rule no. 1 for me.
• Put veggies, it helps.
• Don't forget onions, garlic etc.
• If you have something exotic then serve it. (I like those fried frogs.)
• Last thing, always remember that it all depends on the number of people drinking.
  

I hope this will help. but knowing pinoys, i think that its not
really necessary. prepare whatever you have and they'll eat
it. prepare nothing and the next thing you'll know you've got
plenty. ok. Merry drinking to all! Fröhliche Weihnachten!

Healthy Conversation

Sa loob ng isang pampublikong sasakyan....

Sinabi ng misis..."Ano nyo po silang tatlo?" habang tinuturo ang mga batang kasama ng isang ale. "Mga apo ko 'yan! Walang mga magulang yan eh." sagot ng ale.
"Nasa abroad ho?" follow-up ng misis. "Hinde, iniwan ng mga ama, magka-iba tatay nito, etong dalawa magkapatid, itong isa iba ama nito." ani ng ale.

Tuloy pa rin ang interview ng misis..." malas po sa asawa?" "ung tatay nitong dalawa eh iniwan sila, babaero kaya sumama sa iba." ... nanggigil na ang boses ng ale " ito namang isa ni hindi na nakita ang ama niya, nawala na lang bigla!"

"Baka naman ho buwenas sa negosyo?" ... hindi na mapigilan ang misis. Tuloy din naman ang kuwento ng ale ..." ah, oo nasa abroad nga eh."

"ganon ho talaga, hindi talaga ibinibigay ang lahat." nagcocontemplate ang misis..."meron iba suwerte sa asawa, malas naman sa biyenan." Hindi nagpatalo ang ale..."ako nga o, suwerte sa anak. pinakamatilino kong anak yon. eto malas sa manugang." sabay lunok..." hindi talaga binibigay sa 'yo lahat"

Nagpatuloy ang misis ... "ako ho ganon, swerte sa asawa, malas naman sa biyenan!" Nanggigigil na rin ang misis..." mayaman kase." Ang ale naman ngayon ang may opinion..."Naku!.... wala sa ganon yon, talagang ugali nya na yon!"

"Nag-iisang anak ho iyong mister ko." Napunta naman ang takbo ng kuwento sa misis. "Kaya pala!" react ng ale.

Proud na proud na balik ng misis..."pinapili ho un mister ko kung un biyenan ko o kami... eh kami pinili, hindi raw ngayon bibigyan ng mana." Dumepensa ang ale "hindi pupuwede yon, ibibigay at ibibigay din yon."

"Mayroon hong ampon, tatlo." banggit ng misis. Agad namang ratsada ng ale..."kahit na! eh nasa batas yan eh. Ibibigay syempre sa pinakamalapit na ....."

Matapos nito ay nagkatanungan na ang dalawang babae kung mga taga-saan sila at paglaon ay naghiwalay na rin ng landas.

PULUTAN: In and Out

Hallo! Guten Tag! This is Thorsten, a fil-german, a good friend of Sumilang Mountaineers. We've been drinking buddies for quite sometime and i learned a lot from them especially about PULUTAN. At first i don't like the idea of eating before drinking because it will just make your belly huge but ever since i eat pulutan everytime and i love it. Ich bin sehr dafür. Now i want to share my thoughts on which pulutan is IN or OUT for me. You don't need to agree but this is my opinion. Hab Spaß!

First stop is the Sitsiryas - this is the most common, you can get it anywhere.

In - mani comes first coz its mani no need to explain. mani are easily consumed but i dont think that its a disadvantage. Next is cornik, i highly recommended Boy Bawang. this baby is awesome, u know that.

Out - potato chips are not worthy pulutan its better to eat them at home watching a
movie, get it. better get corn chips instead. Out is Nilagang mani, its the same nuts
why struggle opening it and littering in the process.

De Sarsa - Ha! Ha! Ha! One of my favorites, i like them alot.

In - Let me tell you Kalderatang Kambing is a winner, its the most delicious thing
i've ever tasted. Dinuguan is also a good choice because u can hide the contents
from the sauce. Hey! thats a trick so drinkers won't notice. Most de-sarsa come from
occasional parties like weddings, christenings and the like so you get em free.

Out - I like almost all of the de-sarsa but i just don't like LITID covered with i don't
know what then it sticks to every corner of your mouth. it sucks!

De Lata - This is a choice if you have no choices. i mean if u can't come up with
anything. it better be canned goods.

In - Maling, u know! just add tomatoes, onions and its done. Another nice de-lata
wud be Tuna, u can add Skyflakes in it and you crush them together but be sure to
get the spicy tuna.

Out - Corned beef. Yes its there but don't u think that its wat u wud eat the next day
if you ran out of food in your haus. Sardines! its great but i think i rather eat em
together with my Pandesal.

This is all that i can write today but there's still more to come.... like inihaw, pritos, soups, salad, fruits, veggies and more. just stay tuned here at Sumilang's blogspot. Du bist wohl nicht recht gescheit!
