Best Friend


       Best friend

            Best friends are your companions other than your parents, boyfriends, or girlfriends. Your best friend could be your friend that you could have met long ago or a couple of months ago. Best friends can’t be measure by how pretty they are, how smart they are or how popular they are but one whom you can lean and trust on. You and your best friend have the tendency to desire what is best for each other. You and your best friend also enjoy the company of each other. You can bitter, sweet and happy memories with your best friend; bitter memories is when you had a fight with your best friend while sweet and happy memories is when you laugh boisterously. You and your best friend should have the ability to be oneself, express one’s feelings and make mistakes without fear of judgment. In most cultures holding hands is a sign of friendship but some people thinks something malicious when people hold hands. In America, people exchange the what they call the ‘’friendship bracelet’’ as tokens of friendship. “A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself.” This quote is what me and my best friend believes into. Look around you and you can see who really our best friends are; don’t measure them if they’re popular, smart, or pretty. 

Adobo

Adobo
Adobo is my favorite Filipino cuisine. You can choose whether chicken adobo or pork adobo. There is also squid adobo which uses the squid ink as the broth together with vinegar. Adobo is the Spanish word for seasoning or marinade. It involves meat or seafood marinated in a sauce of vinegar, garlic, browned in oil, and simmered in the marinade. In the Philippines, Adobo is served in feasts, in birthdays or in ordinary days. For me, my grandmother cooks the best adobo in our family. She puts Some Worcestershire sauce that’s why it’s delicious

In the Philippines, there are many ways on how to cook adobo. Some people put laurel leaves, and pineapple. Adobo has long shelf-life due to it’s primarily ingredient vinegar, which inhibits the growth of bacteria. I can say that most of the Filipinos love adobo because it’s really delicious. Sometimes I use to eat adobo with “pandesal” or salt bread.  People sometimes eat it with freshly sliced tomatoes.  Adobo is recognized as the Philippine’s national dish. Adobo can be cooked dry or moist. Adobo is a comforting food that captures Pinoy’s appetite. From being a favorite dish in every Filipino home, it is now a much-loved viand in most restaurants and other food bistros all over the country. Try to eat it, and it will also be your favorite Filipino cuisine.
