IT WAS JUST accidental, but insightful, how I got into this whole episode of an eight-course menu de gustación customized for us at the Avenue Plaza here in Naga City. It was accidental too to enjoy the food with the country's food blogger extraordinaire, Anton Diaz, of wwwo.ourawesomeplanet.com. These were accidental because I was there only to participate in what Fr. Wilmer Tria called as brainstorming for a guided tour of Naga and nearby towns.
Babaye, ipinagboot
kan karpinterong aki mo
an samong pagkakan saiya.
Sa saiyang mga ngimot man
nagluwas an kahurutan
na inomon siya kan gabos.
Aram niyamong ini makulog
asin matarom sa saimong daghan.
Alagad, ika man nagpahunod.
Babaye, tadaw ta pirmi
ika na sana an minapahunod?
Tadaw ta ika na sana
an minasapo kan kulog?
Tadaw ta ika an sa daghan
may nakatadok na punyal?
Ay, abaa nang kasakitan!

IGWANG MGA PARAKANTA o magin mga koro ngunyan na nahihilig sa pag-awit nin mga contemporary classical songs minsan dai nin pagkasabot. Ini si mga Espanyol o Italyanong pinasikat na Josh Groban asin Andrea Bocelli kaiba man an mga bagong tubong sinda Paul Potts, Russel Watson asin iba pa. Minsan nakakangirit na mina-awit kita kan mga kantang ini mantang daing pagkasabot, alagad kun sa lente nin sensibilidad hihilingon, makaherak.
NAGA CITY-HERE is something earthly but is also ethereal. And much more, here, the two blends very well together.
