WATWAT is a Kankanaey term which either means the traditional partaking of food for certain occassions like kanyaw, or it refers to the meat cooked and shared in the traditional way. It is a community affair. Everyone is invited. I was in Mankayan the past two days and you just smell WATWAT in the air! There were wakes and funerals, barangay affairs, and community meetings - there you find WATWAT, practically everyday, every meal. Honestly, I love WATWAT. From time to time, I would miss this IGOROT CUISINE. Other people who are not used to eating this way may wonder... Usually, a black native pig (now hybrid kadi) is killed, the blood is drained , then the hair is singed and the skin burnt. The pig is butchered, the bile is read, then cooked.

"Follow your bliss" is to follow where your heart is. No matter what you do, you will always go back to what makes you really happy.

T'was drizzling when we went to visit the grave. Quite gloomy with the overcast skies and the shower of rain. The tombstone was just right. Had some prayer. It was a nice visit.

Fog capped those mountains. They looked like icing on a cake. In Abatan. Early morning. 7 AM. The van had a bad swerve, we almost had an accident. God was just good. There was no traffic. If there was an oncoming vehicle, we would have been a direct hit. The sharp curve made the tires skid... Thanks for the life.. another chance. Just how is it to die?
