"Is more adaptable to working with others and therefore does not demonstrate the typical "take charge" attitude of other Tigers. The Wood element adds stability, giving him warmth of character that draws people in and makes the Tiger a popular person. They are not selfish creatures and will give their time, attention or possessions to anyone in need. These Tigers bring a solid practicality to any problem. They can control their urges to completely take over, letting others do the work. They must be aware of their slightly volatile tempers and short attention spans, and not let those characteristics get the best of them or cause them or their loved ones undue pain."
There are certain parts described for the Wood Tiger that is somehow true that I can relate and agree, however I would like to highlight those positive characteristics of a Wood Tiger and I will adapt and incorporate them to the positive values that I already believed in, somehow make them assimilate to my daily mantra's.
The year 2009 left a scar - that every Filipino bears it today, it is the uncertainties and hardships that we encounter due to mis-fortunes, mis-governance, and of course due to us, us being hard headed, stubborn, and having no discipline at all.
I believe it is high time for us to think, not just twice but as many times as we can - That change must come from within and that change must first start amongst us.
We are a battled scarred nation, we should learn from our previous mistakes and let the scars be the guiding lesson for us. Let us want !, let us do the change towards creating a positive and healthy Philippines - Lets all be a Tiger this Two Zero One Zero!

Yes, they call this food in some other country, "Escargot" but the Filipino version of this is "GATANG KUHOL" or Ginataang Kuhol (Snails cooked in Coconut Milk). Recently I had the chance to cook this dish because the Mother of a good friend of mine who recently had her vacation from working abroad and visited us here and she requested for this dish.
1 kilo of KUHOL
1 thumb-size piece of ginger, sliced thinly (not julienned)
1 head of garlic, crushed and chopped coarsely
1 onion, halved and sliced thinly
1-3 hot chili peppers
6 cups. of coconut cream
2 tbsp. of cooking oil
salt and pepper
Soak the KUHOL for several hours - We call this pasuka - This is to purge the Kohol (snail) it's dirt. Change the water frequently. I like soaking it to vinegar and corsed salt before wahing the kuhol. Tap the tip of each shell with the side of a knife. Wash several times. Drain.
- Heat the cooking oil in a skillet or wok. Saute the garlic and ginger until fragrant.
- Add the sliced onion and chili pepper.
- Cook until transparent. Add the drained KUHOL and cook over high heat. The KUHOL will render water.
- Cook until almost dry. Pour in the coconut cream (3 Cups).
- Cook uncovered over medium-high heat, stirring occassionally, until almost dry.
- Pour in the veggies (dried gabi leaves or paco)
- Pour in the remaining coconut cream (3 Cups).
- Cook uncovered over low-medium heat, stirring occassionally, until almost dry.
- Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle sliced leeks on top before serving.
Why am I writing? Possibly the need for a release - the coming expectations, the promises that were made, and I think I need a release other than T.V. The heart pours most if it's idle...
