Litratong Pinoy 72: hapunan (dinner)
Kapag ako ay nagpupunta sa Bacolod, ang kanilang chicken inasal ang gusto kong pagpiyestahan. I can eat this food consecutively for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Totoo naman kasi that the best place to eat chicken inasal is in Bacolod, at ang mura pa ng chicken barbecue nila dito - only P55 per stick, if am not mistaken, at our favorite restaurant Aida's, in Manokan Country. Kaya naman pagbalik ko ng Manila, Bacolod chicken inasal pa rin ang gusto kong kainin. There's something about eating it - all juicy from the wood fire, then pairing with garlic rice and heaping ...

Pamela Bianca Manalo a favorite in Miss Universe 2009
Photo via missuniverse.com Hopefully she will not be another Thank You Girl :D Miss Philippines (and Bb. Pilipinas-Universe) Pamela Bianca Manalo is a strong contender for the Miss Universe 2009 which will be telecast to a global audience in a few hours from the Bahamas.

It has been decades since we've had a Filipina for a Miss Universe (sigh). For Chrissakes, our last winning titleholder, Margie Moran is a grandma ... Continue Reading...
Four new dishes from Max’s Restaurant … and Piolo Pascual
Max's Restaurant is a classic. I just think their fried chicken is the most amazing thing in the world. Fried chicken with the falling-off-to-the-bone goodness of roast chicken, if you know what I mean. We locals take it for granted, but it is something that should be tasted when you're in the Philippines for the first time. (note: like Jollibee, they do have overseas branches. In California and Hawaii). It was absolutely a hit when my American mother-in-law visited this resto during her maiden visit to RP. Simple joys! :D And because Max's is one of my family's ...

Make-up class with Artistry’s Victor Ortega
Last weekend, I was up early for one class I didn't want to miss - make-up lessons with Victor Ortega of Artistry, the high-end make-up brand of Amway. Prior to this event, I've been canvassing make-up schools in Manila, more out of interest than anything else. Am not about to open a beauty salon soon, but it is one thing I really want to learn. Even though I hardly use make-up myself, except for the reliable lipstick, I do believe that it goes a long way in enhancing one's looks and aura. We should approach it like art, and used wrongly, it can make us look like ... Continue Reading...
