ANZAC DAY OUTBACK PICNIC NG MGA TRALALA

Boy oh boy, seems like every time I blog, merong kainang nangyari. Australia celebrated the ANZAC day yesterday. It's to remember the diggers (Soldiers) not just during the WW1 and 2 but all those who went and those who are still in a battle to protect the very freedom that we now so enjoy here.

Talking about 'Enjoying Freedom'...Here's how Filipinos celebrate freedom here in Darwin...Always with FFOOOOODDDD!!!!

So here we are, enjoying freedom once again.........

Tuhogan to the max all night long. We prepared the BBQ Thursday night at Mona's House. Though taxing, we succeeded in learning to put the meat through the skewer ALLAN STYLE. The chef was so strict, we trembled every time he says, "Ano yan? Bat may mga bumibitay?"...Gosh, I never thought there is a special way of doing it so as not to make the meat dry ! This is our first lesson/practice for the upcoming August Barrio Fiesta Modus Operandi. We've learned a lot in one night didn't we? But obviously not enough. more practice needed according to Allan. Ano ba yan kinakalyo na tong kamay ko!


Came Friday at the Litchfield National Park-The Lakes, where all the freedom is relished. BBQhan time na!



Tingnan mo naman, very professional! Si Katrina Tangkad, talagang
naka pausing kahit pinapausukan na!!!



The Chef's wife dutifully awaits the famous BBQ.

Chikahan muna bago kain.


Hala Bira! Kainan na!
Ed, remember, ang SUPER...



BBQong Baboy, bagoong na ginisa sa kamatis at baboy, Dinuguan.....Sinong hindi matutumba nito?

This is what we call "THE BBQ KNOCK DOWN.

The two original Jungle Girls-THE FELINES: MMEEEOOOOWWWR



Future In-Laws??? Kaya???



Swimming muna pang pa tunaw ng taba....

Mona in Action...After an hour up on the slide gathering strength. Sa wakas bumaba na rin.

Kailangan na ni Mona ng Psychiatrist at na phobia.

Anyway, here' s only to show you that even we, mere migrants in this country do rip the benefits of the sacrifices the diggers have rendered to this beautiful country, AUSTRALIA. I am so proud to call this country one of my two homes.

And of course, di maiiwasan ang picture taking ala modelling...What better way to express freedom but by documenting the independence, liberty, fun and history through the lenses and posting it for the world to see.....

There's even the freedom to twist reality to fantasy

Be thankful and enjoy.

LEST WE FORGET...............
