This photo of two men on board their racing bicycle while practicing at the Sports Center in Marikina City is one of my favorite action shots of mine. It’s actually one of my first few panning photos when I decided to practice the technique, and I started to like panning pretty much since then.

It’s actually taken by my now hibernated Canon A710is. I recently submitted it at Dpreview for the Photo Challenge “Action series…. Racing“, in the end, it landed 38th out of 60 entries.

Trending real hot in the Philippines is the slogan or meme of the Department of Tourism’s “its more fun in the Philippines”. I’m supporting and joining the bandwagon by making my own version. By the way, you can checkout their site with the same tagline at http://itsmorefuninthephilippines.com.

Any pinoy or pinay can support this propaganda by making their own photo meme and uploading it online. Just be sure you are the rightful owner of that picture or have asked permission from the true owner. And lastly, its not scandalous haha!

Here’s mine, hoping it hops on the trend. Trending ka ba?

The story of the Accidental Macaroni con Fruit Salad

Its a festive mood at our house on the last day of 2011, my cousin was playing loud music on our karaoke as I was busy preparing for two salads,  macaroni salad and fruit salad. The ingredients were all ready on the table.

Macaroni Salad

cooked elbow macaroni
boiled chicken breast (shredded)
cream
onions
raisins
mayonnaise
salt

Fruit Salad

1 can fruit salad
1 condensed milk
1/2 jar kaong
1/2 jar nata de coco

As we all know, salad preparation is just simple. All you have to do is mix all ingredients, and that’s it, and I’m so excited since this would be my first on both salad. So I prepared two large container for both salad.

Again, the busy mood of everybody plus the ear-breaking music must have distracted my focus on what I’m doing. That’s when the accident happens! I mistakenly poured all the content of the condensed milk to the elbow macaroni, I was thinking it was the cream that I was holding haha!

There’s no way to separate the two (macaroni and condensed milk) so instead of spoiling my macaroni, I decided to just mixed all ingredients of the macaroni salad and fruit salad into one bowl (minus the chicken, onions and the mayo).

And so the Macafruit Salad was born haha! To my delight, everyone who taste/eat it, unanimously said that its so freakin delicous
