The pain of changing WordPress themes….
The past week saw my traffic drop tremendously after I changed my blog theme to Feedoo. For a while there, I thought my blog was hacked because I couldn’t seem to access it from our office, gym (Fitness First) and the mall branch of Netopia. This site just drew a blank when I typed my URL.
On the other hand, it was weird because I was able to view it from my house and some of my other friends’ peecees. My web host Yuga and I got into a discussion and he surmised that it was a DNS problem with users subscribing to PLDT My DSL, something which had plagued other bloggers before.

When fuel prices are high, let us eat cake!

Desserts-to-die-for at the newly-launched The Cake Club of the Manila Diamond Hotel at the second floor of Rockwell
2008 may as well be the year of the Pinoy commuter and alternative means of transport like the E-jeepney. In 2008, we celebrate the cause of the hoi polloi who brave the long lines of the LRT/MRT and hang on to pesky PUJs for dear life. Riding around town in a 3.5 gas guzzler with the impudent wang-wang is out! Commuting is in, especially as it’s the only way our great middle-class can cope with ever-rising gas and diesel prices.

Lasang Pinoy 25 ‘Make Your Own Bento’: the prizes
June 9, 2008 by ajay
One thing I know, it feels nice to shop for fellow bloggers. I initiate events “once in a blue moon” and as a gesture of appreciation for those who joined the recent Lasang Pinoy 25, I am giving away the following:
Lacquered bento box, a set of chopsticks, a Periplus Mini-Cookbook on Homestyle Japanese Cooking, P1000 gift certificate from Delifrance courtesy of GeiserMaclang and a Blog-O-Rama feature to the most prolific bento maker Miss Kitchencow. Thanks a lot for submitting two bento entries Chrissie … and many more bentos to come
A set of plastic lunchboxes from Japan Home Center and The Adobo Book : Traditional & Jazzed Up Recipes goes to Ryan of KainPinoy who made the picnic adobo bento. The book is a winner of the National Book Award and contains every imaginable styles of adobo you can find, from personal inventions to regional versions to recipes passed on through generations. A few of the examples: Paella de Adobo of Don Anastacio de Alba to pork adobo in buko juice to adobo sa alamang at gata with finger peppers and the Solar Box Day-Long Adobo of Reynolds Philippines. Viva adobo!

The Legaspi Sunday Market
June 7, 2008 by ajay
I figure that summer is the best time to go to the few weekend markets Manila has. There’s really no point doing so when it’s all wet and rainy, doesn’t it? At least with the sunshine out, you can see fruits, plants and vegetables in full abundance, never mind if you have to sort through them with sweaty arms (and pits!) It’s that hot and humid in the city these days.
The Legaspi Sunday Market is located in a quiet enclave of offices and residential condominiums in Makati, with a pretty park beside it. I didn’t know how to go here at first, and my personal GPS just told me to go around the side streets of Greenbelt 1 (near AIM) and find the Union Church of Manila. The market is located in a spacious parking lot, with a Starbucks just a few walks away. I would think that the weekend markets in Salcedo and the Lung Center are bigger and have more selections, but foodies and homebound fellas are sure to find interesting things here as well.
