Your photo of ginataan made me drool and crave for it. I just actually talked to my mother about cooking ginataan because just like you parang buong buhay ko syang magiging paborito Sis.<br /><br />I am sure your grandfather is so proud of you Sis. :) Thank you so much for reminding me how simple life can be very joyful and fulfilling especially to a child. I wish Bella can still get to experience this too :)Rovie Aguishttp://www.rovsaguilar.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641784269879964446.post-69899235168828055792013-05-16T02:29:43.549-07:002013-05-16T02:29:43.549-07:00Shucks, I love bangus and guinataan ( we call it b...Shucks, I love bangus and guinataan ( we call it binignit here in Davao).
