After our hearty breakfast at Kusina Salud and visiting farms and ricefields, it wasn't quite apparent where we were headed. All I know is that we were traversing Dolores, Quezon en route to Kinabuhayan Cafe and Kubli Springs. So I asked my van seatmate, Kinabuhayan proprietor Jay Herrera why I did not see sign boards or directional signs. He said that was really intentional, "the fun part is in discovering things." He clearly didn't want all sorts of people to flock to Kubli, which is the Tagalog verb for "hide." Finally, we arrive there and it seems the heavens ... Continue Reading...
Kusina Salud: country home cooking that never fails…
Kusina Salud is definitely one of the must-go-to destinations in San Pablo City, a favorite on many a foodies' list. There is something about this resto which makes one trek the country roads, for the close to two hours of travel it takes to get here from Manila. The food is simply exquisite. There might be similar establishments of exquisite food sprouting in the city (like Greenbelt 5) but none quite poses the same challenge of getting here, or savoring the shabby chic ambiance, with even an aviary nearby. Brown rice paella topped with crabs, chorizo, assorted ... Continue Reading...
On the road, & joining the Greenpeace GMO-free rice campaign…
As a busy city dweller, am not the most environmentally-active person around. That is why am thankful when internationally-known groups like Greenpeace get in touch with me, as what happened with this site's reports on the e-jeeps. Their work keeps me up-to-date on their tireless lobby for sustainability and the protection of Mother Nature (even now as we speak, they were hailing the passage of the Renewable Energy bill). So many things going on behind the scenes that we don't know about. Take for example, our knowledge of rice, the basic Filipino staple. All I ... Continue Reading...
Ventosa cupping experience @ The Red Oak, Two Serendra
Ventosa cupping has been on my to-do list for a long time now. As a spa enthusiast, I've always been curious how it goes. All I know is that you're supposed to end up with round little splotches on your back. At an event recently, I finally had the chance to have it done, but almost backed out when I saw the suction cups being pressed on somebody and witnessed the not-so-savory sight of raised flesh! Me : Ewwwwe! Doesn't it hurt? Therapist : Don't think about it. You won't see your back looking like this, right? You'll be lying face down. That's how I ... Continue Reading...
Matt Mullenweg on why bloggers shouldn’t be like the Fourth Estate
My Blog-O-rama interview with WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg came out last Monday; it was cut due to space considerations, full transcript is here. The bad news is that I wasn't able to attend the historic first WordCamp in St. Benilde :( The good news is that I was able to chase him down just the same. It was over a buffet breakfast, and we were both sleepless: him from drinking the night before, me from working the graveyard shift. Hehe. Also in company were two of the WordCamp organizers, Mr. Batang Yagit, Winston Almendras and Blogie Robillo. Anyway, we all ... Continue Reading...
