HINAGUM from Sorsogon with love      Whenever you travel to another town or place, you should try their food and desserts.   Today, I am proud to present you one of my favorite dessert that I love in Sorsogon, my home place. A   serving of brown cake made of rice called Hinagum ( or hinagom ) .       Hinagum   ( or hinagom ) recipe is simple, it’s made from freshly harvested rice that’s pounded, roasted in a pan, then pounded again in a mortar mixed with coconut meat and sugar before wrapping in leaves. It tastes quite similar to espasol of Laguna.      Here in Sorsogon – 1 pack of hinagom cost between Php 5.00 to Php 20.00 per pack.  There are several ways that a Hinagum is presented, I saw round shaped hinagum and a elongated shape among others. Hinagum is  best accompanied with chocolate, coffee or salabat (ginger tea).  In addition, the rice dessert is also popular in nearby Samar Island too. So there you have... I hope you come to visit Sorsogon and try this.

Why Music?      Music is defined differently for each individual. It is the universal language that speaks to us all, but in different ways. It is one of the few genres that can instantly transport a person back to the past. Music is also an art of sound which expresses ideas, thoughts, and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, and harmony. It is the design of giving structural form and rhythmic pattern to combinations of sounds produce instrumentally and vocally.    For me, music brings a sense of calmness, happiness, and peacefulness. Music is the absolute bread of life because it feeds my soul. Music means the world to me. It makes me think about how it relates to life and I love the beats. In addition, music is a way to express yourself, keep you company while you're alone, and always give you something to do. Music is everything and without music there is no purpose to a lot of stuff.      In conclusion, this is the reason why I have
