Blogcon shots Here are some shots at the fun-filled 1st Philippine BlogCon which was held at Greenbelt's National Sports Grill last night. I simply had to attend this event as a blogger and as a columnist. The bonus was seeing some people I've only corresponded with online like the charming Noemi Dado, unassuming Retz, Andrei of Eche..blah..blah; some other new acquaintances I was excited to see for the first time and biggies like Yuga, Jayvee, Marc Gloria, Jangelo and others who are literally rolling in their blogging dollars :P It was nice to see you all ...

You gain some, you lose some
..... isn't it such an irony that a few hours after I announced how I earned money from blog ads, I would lose my precious bag to a snatcher who came from behind me while I was about to close the taxi door yesterday? The damage: my beloved Nokia 6230i (with MMC card) from where I have taken this blog's photos in the past months, another brand new, barely week-old Nokia phone which my best friend has given me, close to P5,000 in cash, my credit card, ATM card, make-up bag and other what-nots.

Forget-your-diet, ultimate food trip: a postscript
Aurelys From what I gathered, there will still be a third installment of our food trip in October. Hope more people will be able to join us then and of course I am keeping my fingers crossed that there will be no typhoons to cause monstrous traffic jams. I am sure that every member of our group is thankful of taking the time to discover the culinary jewel that is Pampanga, care of our tour guide Spanx. Anyway, here's a photo of a dessert specialty we tasted in San Fernando simply called "Aurely's Special." It is more easily described as brazo de mercedes ... Continue Reading...
A taste of something exotic at Everybody’s Cafe, San Fernando
At Everybody's cafe This is our group picture at Everybody's Cafe taken by fellow blogger and foodie Anton. We just had an unforgettable dinner at this culinary landmark in San Fernando, Pampanga which prides itself for being "the home of authentic Kapampangan cuisine." As usual, our table was filled with all sorts of goodies - some which smacked of down-home cooking and some which were simply not for the fainthearted. Among these were the fried camaru or cricket, the stuffed frogs and marinated carabao meat or pindang tapa , all of which we tried with ... Continue Reading...
