It was The SweetHeart who encouraged me to set my sights on being a part of WordCamp Philippines 2008 earlier this year : "There's a WordCamp in your area, why don't you join?" I took note of the fact, even though I half-suspected he was ready to relinquish his Web Monkey duties. You see, when something's ready to be fixed in my blog, I either call on friends or request the sweetheart to put it on his "honeydew" list (honey do this, honey do that) :P Admittedly, am the lazy WordPress user, one of those persons who've taken to heart the definition of blogging as ...

Bagnet at CFront resto .. because pork fat rules
The past week had me longing for the decadent pleasure of deep-fried pork. I eat chicken or fish most of the time and I get moments of breaking the rules, such as when lechon with its golden crispy is served at work for somebody's birthday, or a tempting picture of tonkatsu rice topping stares at me in a Japanese restaurant..I simply can't resist! And this was what happened while I was strolling through the bayside restaurant row in Mall of Asia called San Miguel by the Bay (nice view , pungent smell from the bay, ewwwe). I had just come from the gym a few walks ... Continue Reading...
Royce chocolates in Hong Kong
I wasn't able to visit the Royce chocolates stall while in Singapore, so it was quite a relief to find a Royce counter in Harbor City, Kowloon.

Note the picture: the shop girl didn't want me to take a picture but I guess it was too late :P Silly me wanted these Royce chocolated-dipped potato chips to myself, and would have bought a dozen, if my budget allowed. They were simply addictive! What could be more sinful than Royce's divine ... Continue Reading...
First visit to Hong Kong Disneyland
... and so it came to pass that we ended up in Holly wood. The Disney Hollywood Hotel in Hong Kong Disneyland :P It was raining, but we enjoyed it just the same. (to be continued) ... Continue Reading...
US Embassy Manila NIV Unit : highly unprofessional
Between paying $131 for a US visa application and trying your luck in the slot machines, I'd choose the latter. At least with legalized gambling, you get a free Coke and a sandwich. Not with the d*ickheads-in-residence at the NIV Unit of the US Embassy in Manila who go through their job without rhyme and reason. I actually thought being a "diplomat" was a distinguished, honorable profession until you encounter them in real life (okay, I dated one of their ilk in my younger years, but that's another story!) Cases in point: they don't maintain eye-to-eye contact. ... Continue Reading...
