There are as many versions of Adobo in the Philippines as there are households. Alright, that maybe an exaggeration, but we cannot discount the fact that this popular dish is cooked in as many ways as there are people who enjoy it. Some cook it with coconut milk, some don’t; some use peppercorns, while some use chili peppers; some add boiled eggs, potatoes, and even pineapple bits, while some like it made plain and simple with pork. We each have our tastes, and this goes beyond food.
My daily reads can be likened to status updates--multiple short bursts of lead-ins about so many things. My daily reads can be likened to status updates--multiple short bursts of lead-ins about so many things. I read the usuals like daily news, and photography tips, but I also take time out to find anecdotes, inspirational stories, and even top ten lists. But that’s me, that’s my style; my adobo. My friend on the other hand has a blogroll of reads on political issues, things about the constitution, rights, et al. He reads novel after novel, and writes a lot of both news and fiction. Then again, that’s him; his taste.
My point is that we are all just looking for a niche, a target, a palette which agrees with our own. There is no point in us abandoning blogging about science and technology or any other endeavor for that matter just because someone bigger or better is already doing it. We are all cooking up these ideas with the same ingredients—our words, the facts. What makes the difference is how we combine things; our ratio of fact, opinion, humor, culture, and science.
