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...
It’s summer! Time to be a beach bum
I promised to myself that my buffet lunch at Market Cafe yesterday is going to be my last, at least until the season is over.I've finally noticed my posts for the past few days and it's all about f-o-o-d, which will not help me any as this is the time for baring,frolicking and worshipping the sun. It's occurred to me that the only way a groovy momma like me can look modestly presentable in this season of mini's and midriffs is to sweat it out in the gym and resist all culinary urges. I can never duplicate what my friend Mai did who had a boob job and tummy tuck in ... Continue Reading...
One-day vacation in Bangus Country
Bangus etc. Originally uploaded by annalyn. I could say that one of the things that makes me a true-blue Filipino is my love for the milkfish, or bangus in local parlance. Go to any market (in the Luzon region, at least) and you will almost always find this gray-scaled fish in the stalls. What I like about bangus is that there are more ways to cook this than my other fresh-water favorite, tilapia. The health-conscious prefer the fat-free paksiw na bangus or the sinigang na bangus sa miso but I am also partial to the many imaginative ways our good ol' ... Continue Reading...
A Birthday Lunch at Mano’s Greek Taverna
Birthday Pics Originally uploaded by annalyn. With the twins out on their field trip and almost all of my close friends off on their long vacation, it didn't look like an eventful birthday for me. Good that Z, who contributes for the Inquirer, decided to tag me along to a food tasting trip to breezy Tagaytay. If there's something that gonna entice me to leave everything behind, that's the smell of food and especially if it's something I haven't tried... like Greek food! After what seemed like an effortless trip, we arrived at Mano's Greek Taverna by ... Continue Reading...
Pictures from the past
Holland mosaic Originally uploaded by annalyn. Going through one's past albums can be a therapeutic activity. And from my colorful life, one thing that stands out was the time when I first set foot in Europe. I was 23. relatively young, single, carefree, and very much eager to see the world for what it's worth. Looking back at my two years' stay in the continent, I feel bad that I wasn't able to immerse myself in all the sights (the Stonehenge for one, and all those museums!) However, Holland is one country where I have fond memories. They say a place is ... Continue Reading...
