Remembering Batanes food…
Stranded in Batanes with nothing else to do, Mr. Z and I found solace in food. This wasn't really easy to do. Food in the Batanes is dependent on the weather, and supplies of staples in the island can also be affected if the flights don't come in (!!)

Most of the vegetables and other supplies have to come from Manila or neighboring areas like Tuguegarao. There wasn't really an abundant supply of seafood, as people like us ... Continue Reading...

This cafe is quite familiar to me.. there is one across my present office in UN Avenue, Manila. Delifrance is not as common as its sister company Jollibee though... maybe because the prices are at least three times higher here? I've always complained, why is Delifrance more expensive? Answer: because the shrimps in Delifrance's seafood marinara actually taste like.. real shrimps! Plump and juicy (tell me if this is not the case with yours) Coffee ... Continue Reading...
Here’s why some people don’t want to “moderate their greed”
"Moderate their greed," as said by Romulo Neri to Jun Lozada in the full-blown ZTE scam, is my favorite phrase of the year. Of course, people say the scrapped deal was disadvantageous to the government and would further widen the gap between this country's rich and poor. Hmm, what about the gap between the rich and the greedy rich? Here are some reasons why the already-rich won't "moderate their greed" and would like to be filthy rich by all means possible: (as quoted/adapted from an old article in the Sunday Times of London clipped by this blogger) Rich is a ...
