Got in just in time to avail of Cebu Pacific's Unfare! promo which ended yesterday. I have to admit that I booked on a whim but the One Peso fare to select destinations in the country was just too cheap to resist. Flights to Kalibo, Tagbilaran and Puerto Princesa were already fully booked so I chose Iloilo. I don't know why I picked Iloilo (har! har!) but the main reason is that I haven't been there. I do plan to go on a food trip there when I travel early October. Plus, it's a good jump-off point to Guimaras Island and Boracay is only five hours away by land. Munchin' ... Continue Reading...
A food paradise too!
Legend food Name the seafood of your dreams and you'd probably find it in Palawan whose vast seas are blessed with marine creatures of all kinds.Vegetarians, on the other hand, wouldn't be too happy living here since their greens come from Manila and therefore expensive, but you certainly can feast on all the fish and crabs you can find.The Legend Hotel, where we stayed in Puerto Princesa, has a good buffet in its coffeeshop from breakfast till dinner. Among these are shown in the pics (clockwise, from left): sinigang na maya-maya sa mangga, alimango sa ... Continue Reading...
The great Palawan landscape (updated)
Palawanscapes Somebody wuld probably ask me which is more beautiful: Palawan or Bora? I'd have to say there is really no comparison between the two because they possess different levels of appeal. Bora is more commercial and nothing beats it as a beach party place. Palawan on the other hand is serene and you go there to enjoy nature at its best. Am still too busy to blog but am posting here some pics of my recent vacation to Puerto Princesa City. Most of these were taken as we went island-hopping and exploring the place's natural wonders. ... Continue Reading...
Back from the vacation (… & a few realizations)
I have to admit that like most Pinoys, I've toyed with the idea of leaving this seemingly godforsaken country. But the desperation is not so great as to make me make the Big Move yet. My friends argue that you could work day and night and not own a house in RP whereas you could easily own a car and other comforts in a country like America. However, I think there are things here which I wouldn't exchange for any other nirvana in the world. For instance, I wouldn't trade our glorious weather and the infectious laughter of our people for any of those high-tech appliances ... Continue Reading...
Men Loving Other Men
(Author's Note: I have gazillions of published articles and have kept about half of them. I thought this old article was interesting enough to be recopied in this blog, in the light of my recent post on 'Brokeback Mountain' and the subject of sexuality. FYI, this appeared under my byline in the Nov 13, 1999 (!!!) issue of Women's Journal. It's old, all right, but the revelations are ageless. Read for yourself and tell me what you think. Who knows girls, you may never look at your boyfriend/husband in the same way again) The stereotype gay is the kind often depicted ... Continue Reading...
