Last day of the month, today is a very special day for me and my family. But let me suspense you because I have some reserve posts that I wanted to share.
Are you guys familiar with the NLC or National Learning Camp.
“We are dedicated to creating opportunities for all students to thrive. Our summer programs are designed to provide the necessary support and resources to help learners overcome challenges and achieve their full potential,” Education Secretary Sonny Angara said.
The 2025 National Learning Camp is a four-week program for Grade 1 to 10 students. It will be held in the chosen schools and aims to help improve student learning and support teachers. This program continues what was started in the previous National Learning Camp.
My two sons are called to join the said program. Sasuke incoming grade 10 and JJ incoming grade Grade 5. But I don't know what happened to my son's NLC as they were not called to proceed to the program.
But my son JJ was able to learn within a couple of weeks. With a small number of students their teacher surely can focus on teaching them one by one. Their snack was often sponsored by the school. I remember when I agreed on the NLC of Sasuke's, my co-parents are worried about the extra expenses. Like transportation fees and food, but the teachers said that they will do their best to find a sponsor. Until they didn't give us any updates.
What is important is my son Jj learned a lot this vacation. He has the same teacher and classmates, so it's like they're all good days.
While I tried cooking a recipe that I'd learned a long time ago. Chicken Afritada but when I tried looking it in online I was upset that I couldn't find the same recipe. But I didn't hesitate to try it again and I couldn't believe that I was able to improve my skills.
Ingredient
1/2 kilo of chicken
1 medium potato
1 medium carrots
1 red bell pepper
1 medium onion
6 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup of Tomato Sauce
Pepper, seasoning, fish sauce, iodized salt, cooking oil
1/4 of of water
Procedure
I salted the chicken with a little iodized salt and slightly fried it. The size was small because my husband cut the chicken. I used thigh part. Set aside, cut and wash the ingredients needed. I also slightly fry the potato and carrots.
On a pan, I used the same cooking oil, I just reduce the amount so the dish won't be oily. Add the onion, garlic saute and add the chicken. Add 1 tablespoon mixed well, cover for about a minute and two. Mix again and lower the heat, add the tomato sauce, seasoning, red bell pepper and ground pepper. Cover and let it simmer with the same low heat. Taste and adjust according to taste.
I couldn't believe that my husband and kids was impressed by the dish I made.
