I work in the Malate-Ermita area and for all its imperfections, I cannot really complain about the diversity in food. Everything's just a walk away, whether you want hotel food (Hyatt, & Pan Pacific has a very interesting food court), $1 shawarmas at Shawarma Snack Center, juicy Shanghai dimsum like xiao long bao in Suzhou and those Korean holes-in-the-wall which seem to have overtaken this once-glorious tourist district. Am not even talking about the numerous culinary choices in Robinson's Midtown yet. What to eat, what to eat....? That is the question. It was a ... Continue Reading...

I need not look far: one is the reflection of the other :D ... Continue Reading...

Susubukan ko ngayon na magsulat sa sariling wika sapagka't trip kong sumali sa lingguhang meme ng mga bongga ka day na mga blogistang-litratista ng Litratong Pinoy! Aaminin ko na ang pangunahing atraksyon sa akin ng pagsali dito ay ang pagkakataon na magsulat muli sa Pilipino. Mas madaling magsalita kesa magsulat ng katutubong wika, di ba? at mahirap magsulat kung di mo man lang ito pina-praktis at ang gusto mo lang ay haypalutin na Ingles.

A grand tour of the National Museum, anyone?
It's been ages since I visited the National Museum. I used to work in that hallowed building back in the 90s, because the Philippine Senate was housed there. It's really such a shame to be ogling at museums in other countries and not loving your own. Must.go there.soon. The National Museum today has undergone a complete transformation. In fact it can already compare with its counterparts in Asia and beyond. It boasts of an extensive art and artifact collection housed in 21 galleries and spanning two colonial-era buildings. What can be seen in its historic walls? ... Continue Reading...
