us-usan sandbar Gadling has a report on the world's best islands based on " activities, beaches, culture/sites, lodging, restaurants and scenery." As our pessimistic mind expected, the Philippines was not on the list. Here's a list of those exotic-sounding getaways which made it: * Bali * Kauai * Maui * Cape Breton, Nova Scotia * Mount Desert, Maine * Tasmania * Hawaii * Galapagos * Santorini * Santo Stefano * Phuket, Thailand * Thatch Cay * Blue Lagoon * Grand Bogue Caye * ...

The week in food: going Japanese, calamares, Conti’s & more
Chili oil & furikake Sunday : Crashed the digs of Benj, our college classmate who's made it in the crazy world of advertising. How do we know he's made it ?

I was once a ghost writer of the following: a society columnist, a censors chief, a senator and a congressman. With the first one, I got to know all of Manila's social climbers.
