Forget-your-diet, ultimate food trip to Angeles City, Pampanga

My blog amnesia must have really gotten so bad when I get trans-continental phone calls and YM messages asking me “what happened??” It’s only been more than a week since I last posted and yet friends and dear readers already think it’s not normal. Yeah, you’re probably right: am suffering from sort of blog withdrawal syndrome. Which is not fair considering that some people are addicted to this blog like they need coffee in the morning. For reasons I don’t know. I also used to be addicted to this blog myself. :P

However, am glad that it only took a road trip to Central Luzon with my blog friends to get me moving again. Specifically, a food adventure through the gastronomic bowl that is the province in Pampanga. And to think that we’ve only scraped the surface of Angeles City yet in a one-of-a-kind food marathon that consisted of eat-shop-eat-shop-and eat again.

It helped that we had a very knowledgeable tour guide in the person of the great Spanky Enriquez who is a true-blue cabalen himself. Spanx has a very lively personality which quickly makes him the life of any gathering or party. Never a dull moment with this guy who, for the benefit of all eligible women out there, is still very much single. I mean where else can you find someone who has a great job, good family, engaging personality, with no liability or criminal record (huh! super-advertisement na to) :P

For this trip, it was also great meeting for the first time blogger Anton who came with his lovely & slim wifey Rachel and cute baby Aidan, the other bachelors like Jay, Abe and Blog Overlord Yuga who brought with him “the digital SLR and Mitsubishi Lancer that Google AdSense bought.” (whew!)

It was such a small, compact group but we sure had fun. And oh, even in the company of those guys, I think I was the champion eater, lol. Pictures and places to be posted soon:)
