Anthony Bourdain in the Philippines

Let me just say.
That Anthony Bourdain was in the Philippines. He went to the freaking Philippines. He went to Bacolod and Cebu and ate there. He went to Pampanga and my friend got to eat what he cooked and get his autograph and this friend of mine (yes, you Panda!) did not have any idea [...]

Please vote for Obama

I’m not American. I’m Filipino. My vote does not count in the US presidential elections.
But if you can vote, please do. And if you decide to, please vote Obama.
Read this editorial from the NYTimes.
Barack Obama for president.

New pop culture favorites

I think anyone who’s been reading this blog knows how much I love Anthony Bourdain.
But lately, I haven’t had the chance to watch new episodes of No Reservations. I should scour youtube, as there are a whole lot of those there. And I still have that un-viewed, original DVDs of one of the seasons on [...]

Pepper Lunch

I don’t do paid posting. I’m not saying I won’t, but so far, I’ve never had. (And I’ll only do it if I get paid a reasonable amount AND if I only get to express what I honestly feel and not sugarcoat it. Reading PR-ish stuff on your daily newspaper or magazine is bad enough, [...]

Aren’t you glad?

Eason Chan Aren’t you glad?

I was trying to look for the original video I saw on Channel V but couldn’t find it on youtube (someone from the artist’s group should seriously post it on youtube. That’s where everybody is).
I think it’s a weird-sounding song but something about the lyrics [...]

Joe is not really a plumber

Watush!
Joe the plumber is not actually a plumber. Haha! How about that? Read about the non-plumber here. Plus he owes back taxes! WTF? And McCain just made him the poster boy for his campaign. Now, that’s good decision-making skills.
At least Mang Pandoy was genuinely a poor man who came from where he said he was [...]

Friends reruns

Can I just say? I’ve been watching a whole lot of Friends reruns and you know what is distracting? Jennifer Aniston’s shiny hair and tops where you can see her “twins.”

The last debate between Obama and McCain

Impressions.
McCain seemed angry the whole time. He was attacking Obama left and right.
Since I watched the CNN split screen, I could see how both reacted when the other spoke. Obama was cool, calm, collected, unflappable despite McCain’s going after him. McCain, on the other hand, looked like he was going to explode. He was smirking [...]

Wall Street and all that jazz

Haven’t blogged about Wall Street, the financial crisis, the financial meltdown, the financial crunch.
Just remembered that I have photos of the place. I was there in May this year.
I remember going there and thinking, so this is where all the action happens? This is where fortunes are made and maintained? This is where people lose [...]

Lazy Saturday

It’s Saturday afternoon and I’m lazy.
I just slept the whole morning away and I don’t regret it one bit. Haven’t had the chance to do that in a long while.
I could go to the mall but I can’t bring myself to get ready.
I could clean my place but right now, it seems like an effort. [...]
