pasaway conquers ilocos... i came, i saw, i conquered...and i ate pinakbet and dinuguan pizza in Ilocos...wen manong... this definitely is one the best trips I had in my entire buzylicious life…it’s as if I became one of the most important tourist that the ilocos region ever had…i sure know u'll be dissapointed, but i wasn't able to keep my photos of the pizzas that we ate,they had the most unique toppings one cud imagine...they had bagnet, pinakbet and dinuguan...yes dear, right on top! you can find them guys in cafe herencia right accross the world renowned Paoay church and the C&E pizza house. (if you want to get to those places...just give me an email, i can give you the address and contact details) crunchy talong, okra, sitaw, ampalaya on melted cheese... viola...pinakbet pizza... WELCOME TO SITIO REMEDIOS... a paradise in currimao, ilocos norte...a place filled with memories of the past...of an untold history...where you will be taken away by a blissful experience... sitio remedios is a compound filled with antique houses that were bought from different parts of ilocos...ang mga bahay na ito, binaklas, ang bawat bahagi nilagyan ng numero , ti-nransport to currimao and just like a huge complicated puzzle, these treasures were nailed back and erected in what we now call sitio remedios. and seated right next to me is dr. joven cuanang, the owner of sitio remedios. each piece, each furniture reminds us of sweet memories from the past...they have been quietly witnessing the passing of time and of people slowly passing away with it. they give you an idea of the subtle past of the people who once looked over at this window...probably staring to something or some one close to her heart. the sitio is a perfect place for somebody who wants to escape the pressures of a brisk city life. the lanai...you sure are going to forget all your cares when the sitio remedios girls lay their hands on you for a soothing massage meet dr. joven cuanang, he is the man behind the fascinating sitio remedios...and he, definitely is the MAN!!! he happens to be the medical director of st. luke's medical center...a world class medical institution in the country. it surprised me that the person i was talking to over the phone, coordinating for the shoot, the medical director, happens to be a very nice and humble person. his heart is so dedicated in preserving the culture and treasures of his land, that he came up with this hidden paradise. the fishermen delivered them right to us...fresh from the ocean...hmmm yum yum... this is ms. christine dayrit, a phil. star columnist who happened to be in sitio remedios celebratong her birthday. we just met her here at the sitio, we also met her wonderful and fun loving family. they came here to celebrate ms christine's bday and i bet she had a wonderful time. dr. cuanang gave her a wonderful treat, he had a children choir sing brilliant songs for the celebrant and a young priest whom he personally invited to give a simple mass...the sitio remedios people also made a crown made of flowers fit for a princess...if i were in her place, i would surely feel tremendously happy, i'd be the most important girl in the world. tamats and i have definitely enjoyed this wonderful trip...it looked more like a vacation with the out-of-town gang of melandjoey, than a work related trip...we enjoyed every inch of this experience and we are sure gonna remember this for the rest for our frigging lives. sitio remedios by night...a blanket of candles lay on floor...it's as if stars had come down and left me staring in amazement. i can't let this wonderful experience pass without taking a few pictures so that i can share it to others. though i can always look back at this through the mark it left in my heart, it wud always be nice to let other people see what we had in this lovely place... shagged on 11/12/2007 10:14:00 PM Comments: Post a Comment
