This will be a short one but it’s long overdue methinks. I just have to thank Mox’s family for throwing me a good birthday dinner full of the things that I should be avoiding. They served all the “batok food” one could ever want.

It’s no secret. Everyone knows I love tea – especially green iced tea. I’ve been talking about it constantly on the podcast and in this blog (I think). I love it for the taste. I love it for the refreshing feeling I get after drinking good amount. I love that it’s something that not most people really, really like.

Mismanaged XPectations

It’s been a long time. So many things have been happening in my life recently.
My C drive crashed and I had to reformat the partition and install new software. Gone are all my emails. Gone are so many photos I’ve been hopping to burn into a cd.
I hate it.


Banned from Pinoy Big Brother

Pinoy Big Brother Something not food related today — but equally spicy. I’m gonna steal a page from pinoy.rickey.org and talk about Pinoy Reality TV.

Riding in Cars with Food

Drive and Eat Damn! I just realized how obscure my title references are. I don’t think anybody ever went out and saw that movie. At least I didn’t. But there are some titles that just bounce around in the brain and never leave. Enough about that.

Will the real Tapa Queen please stand up? (Please stand up)

First off, I’ve decided to stop counting the number of food review posts that I make. More and more the Artichoke Adobo has taken a life all its own and it’s mostly about food. The name, apparently, is prophetic.

I was scrounging up some relatively old pictures a couple of days back and I happened upon some pix I took in Taal, Batangas. It reminded me of the reason why I get excited whenever I take a trip to Mox’s province. It is the one place in the world where you can meet royalty right dab smack in the middle of the local wet market.

Big Buddah in Big Buddah (or in this case… Super Bowl of China)

Ea at Starbucks

To make a long story short, Ea (my bestbud for the past 15 or so odd years) got the job she’s been praying for… a regular stint as an Events Organizer in the popular RX93.1 radio station. I’ve been raking in the benefits of her new found employment in terms of free tickets to movie premieres (see Fantastic Four article) and concerts. The windfall of fortune (cookies?) continues as she treated us (Moxie, Tammy and myself) to a more-than-enough early dinner at the new Super Bowl of China in Marquinton Mall — and then later on to a grande each over at the neighboring Starbucks.
