Our supposedly four-day vacation to Bulacan became a two-week one when we typhoons Pedring, Qiel and Ramon prevented us from going home. We were in Hagonoy for most of that two-weeks, and while that might sound boring to some without electricity and waist-level flood water all around, we actually had fun.
The main reason was we were with the (almost) whole family. I’ve always found joy in being with them, what with the different lives that we’re leading now. Secondary reason is that I get to take a break from work without feeling too guilty about it.
Third reason is that we got to ate tons of fish and seafood! While the flood is bad news for the owners of fisheries in Hagonoy and Calumpit, it was good news for the common folk. Why the prices of fish and seafood are rock bottom! Those big crabs you see in the picture? That’s 5 kilos of seafood goodness for only Php400. We were also able to buy big shrimps for a measly Php150 a kilo. Pure heaven.
Of course once we got back home it’s back to meat viands again. Hee hee. Wow. I didn’t realize until we got home that I miss it.

Wow! I would love to eat that much seafood! Pure food galore indeed!!
ganun kataas ng tubig? reminds me of what happened here in hatyai City last year..it’s boring coz we don’t have seafood around..he..he…
I have been craving for seafood. I really should ask my mom to ask someone in Samar to buy us some. I want some lobsters!
Glad you were ok back in Bulacan.
i wasn’t aware that you were in hagonoy these past weeks sis, it would have been a great opportunity to finally meet you!
i miss eating seafoods, the best i can get is the paksiw na bangus i cooked the other day. but i sooo would love to eat shrimps, the big ones!
am just glad you guys survived the flood unscathed, a lot of people from calumpit + hagonoy weren’t as lucky!
anyway, i hope i see you the next time you come down to visit..have a great one! mwah!
Hala,grabe pala ang naging baha dyan~ I thought hinde kayo kasama kase alam ko nasa Baguio kayo. Buti na lang okay lang kayo dear…
grabe yung baha naman oo. bakit kasi palagi tayo tinatamaan ng bagyo:( pero infairness, ang dami at ang mura naman ng seafoods! i love to eat them pa naman.
WOW!!! ang sarap nyan! and ang mura!! Un nga lang wawa naman ang mga may ari ng fisheries kaso wala sila choice. Shocks naglalaway ako
we should always look on the brighter side of the situation. like what happened to you. it’s time for family bonding!
mukhang super naenjoy nyo ang seafoods despite the flood.
