A threat turn into an asset

Sept 3 '11 (sat.), a giant saltwater crocodile , more or less 21-feet (6.4 metres) and weighing 1,075 kilograms was caught in Bunawan, Agusan del Sur, province of Mindanao, Southern part of the Philippines. ( See the #59 on the map that I lifted from http://www.philsite.net )

The largest crocodile caught ever in the Philippines, said the Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Centre. And might be recorded as the biggest captive crocodile in the world in Guinness Book of Records.

Mayor Edwin Cox Elorde said putting the huge crocodile in special cage at Bunawan Eco-Park and Wildlife Reservation Center in Sitio Masapya, Barangay Consuelo, some 8 kilometers from Bunawan town proper is better than killing the murderous monster.

Villagers were happy that they would be able to turn the dangerous crocodile "from a threat into an asset".

But still they lookout for other man-eating mate of Lolong.

The huge croc was named after Ernesto "Lolong" Goloran Cañete, one of the veteran crocodile hunters from the Palawan who led the hunt. Weeks of stalking the crocodile took a toll on the health of Cañete, who died of heart attack days before the crocodile was caught.

"Lolong," as it has been nicknamed,became the star attraction of an eco tourism park
And the hit song of Inner Circle - “Sweat (A La La La La Long)" is now Lolong's (the croc) theme song as the music is frequently played at the Eco-Park .

Just some Quotes

Who Am I

Just sharing an art from Kipasa.com and a short story from unknown author.

While praying one day, a girl asked: "Who are you, Lord?"

He answered: "I Am",

"But who are you?" she said.

And He replied: "I Am Love, I Am peace,

I Am Grace, I Am Joy,

I Am the Way, Truth and the Light,

I Am the Comforter, I Am Strength,

I Am Safety, I Am Shelter

I Am Power, I Am the Creator,

I Am the Beginning and the End,

I Am the Most High."

The girl with tears in her eyes looked toward heaven and said:

"Now I understand, but Lord, who Am I?"

Then GOD tenderly wiped the tears from her eyes and whispered:

"You Are Mine."

My Spring Rolls

Hi there now I'm in the mood of sharing my Spring Roll,"Lumpiang Shanghai" as we call it.

Though am not a cook, I never consider being in the kitchen a burden but it's a fun specially when my children are participating.

My children really appreciate when I make the effort to prepare our foods.They eat every meal I replicate from the recipe books though sometimes it needs a second try,(actually they have no choice, kkkkkk)

Here's my version in preparing my spring rolls.

Ingredients :
• 1/2kl. ground pork
• 1 /2kl. ground beef
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
• 1/2 cup finely chopped garlic
• 1 cup finely chopped carrots
• 1 cup finely chopped celery
• Some finger chilies
• 2 to 3 whole eggs
• salt and pepper, to taste
• ginisa mix seasonings
• lumpia wrapper
• vegetable oil, for frying


Cooking Procedures:
*For the chili first, along one side, make a slit lengthwise and scrape the seeds.
*Finely chopped all the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery.


*Saute onions, garlic and ground meat until mildly done, drain and let it cool.
*After cooling, in a bowl mix the carrots and celery and add 2 to 3 eggs. Blend well.


*Stuff the chili with the mixture.


*Wrap into thin rolls in lumpia wrapper. Others stick out at one end the chili head and when it’s done they call it “dynamite lumpia”.


*After wrapping , put in container and stock in freezer. Just take some when you want to cook. But when you want to eat it right away there’s no need of sauteing the ground meat, just mix all the ingredients well and wrap then fry.

(Hmmmnn.. ready for my Mycah's bento )

*Fry in deep hot oil. Drain on paper towels. Transfer to a serving plate. Serve with your favorite catsup or Sweet and Sour Sauce.

I made some without chilies too.
