5 Foods to Eat Before I Die

Angie tagged me...so here's my "death-food-wish-list":

1. Lots and lots of Rebosadong female talangka (b i g, big ones) oozing with red orange fat aligue with burong mangga on the side, or patis with kalamansi.

2. Ginataang Azuhos  - a  Philippine medium-sized fish cooked in thick coconut milk  and , paired with succulent adobong kangkong.

3. Vigan Longganisa - the real ones from Vigan, Ilocos Norte--dipped in vinegar with lots of garlic and chili peppers, and paired with garlic fried rice.

4. Paksiw na Talilong - again a kind of  Philippine fish whose scales are big, but super delicious when cooked with lots of ginger and vinegar with pepper, eggplant and bitter melon.- paired and partnered with my super good  home-made binagoongan.

5. And lastly, for dessert, our home-made  real honest-to-goodness suman sa lihiya with our own sweetened coconut milk sauce cooked over slow open fire---the kind that we made then that my family was never without every New Year back in the Philippines.

So there, Angie--this list made me hungry....but I enjoyed making it...and .thanks to you!

 

 

 

 

 

The 30 Life Principles ----by Charles Stanley

As a registered member of Intouch.org...I earnestly searched for Charles Stanley's 30 Life Principles which my twin sister said is a great life bible.  In this best selling bible-book, Life Principle Bible, the 30 principles take a reader and believer to live according to the following:

1. Our intimacy with God--His highest priority for our lives--determines the impact of our lives.

2. Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.

3. God's word is an immovable anchor in times of storm.

4. The awareness of God's presence energizes us for our work.

5. God does not require us to understand His will, just obey it, even if it seems unreasonable.

6. You reap what you sow, more than you sow, and later than you sow.

7. The dark moments of our life will last only so long as is necessary for God to accomplish

    His purpose in us.

8. Fight all your battles on your knees and you win every time.

9. Trusting God means looking beyond what we can see to what God sees.

10. If necessary, God will move heaven and earth to show us His will.

11. God assumes full responsibility for our needs when we obey Him.

12. Peace with God is the fruit of oneness with God.

13. Listening to God is essential to walking with God.

14. Listening to God is essential to walking with God.

15.  Brokeness is God's requirement for maximum usefulness.

16. Whatever you acquire outside of God's will, eventually turns to ashes.

17. We stand tallest and strongest on our knees.

18. As children of a sovereign God, we are never victims of our circumstances.

19. Anything you hold too tightly, you will lose.

20. Disappointments are inevitable, discouragement is a choice.

21. Obedience always brings blessings.

22. To walk in the Spirit is to obey the initial promptings of the Spirit.

23. You can never out give God.

24. To live the Christian life is to allow Jesus to live His life in and through us.

25. God blesses us so that we might bless others.

26. Adversity is a bridge to a deeper relationship with God.

27. Prayer is life's greatest time saver.

28. No Christian has ever been called to "go it alone" in his or her walk with faith.

29. We learn more in our valley experiences than on our mountaintops.

30. An eager anticipation of the Lord's return keeps us living productively.

 In summary, these principles exhort us to let God be the final authority of our life, and not let our negative emotions, disappointments or triumphs take control over us.
