  4. We took pictures of the huge preparation one family was doing for the evening repast - they always have open house after the Thursday procession. This family butchered four pigs for the ulam, 2 for lechon. Then I spotted this pig under a small table. It was waiting in line just in case the food was not enough. I quickly pointed him out to Rudy and Cat.

    It was sleeping so innocently - may ngork ngork sounds pa siya as if talking to somebody in his dreams!

  9. maybe the supply of pigs in the household was enough and he was just there at the end of a long day...backup which wasn't used :-)

  10. Come to think of it- what's a pig's purpose on earth? Isn't it born to provide sustenance and pleasure to human beans? Aanhin ang baboy kung di man siya maging Lechon? Aanhin pa ang baboy na hindi naging chicharon?

    There should be no false pity for a pig, a fish, a rabbit, a cow. Them's food!

    Aguruy! I just opened myself to some bullets! ha ha ha

  14. actually magandang simile para Lent although its ironic..*grin*

    maybe weird what I will be saying..but if Jesus died on the cross for our sins...how can we also not think and be thankful for God's creatures giving up their lives for our continued existence?

    just because they may be said to be soulless...they were given life and humans had taken it away...

    and no..di pa rin ako vegetarian...:-)

  16. a new idol is born!

    come to think of it..maybe the pig fainted upon learning of its fate?

    hehehe..they do say pigs are intelligent...

    forgive me, Ms. Piggy...(or Mr. Piggy?)
