I recently joined several other bloggers for a night of get-together as Delifrance launches its new line of coffee. I am a coffee addict, I swear. That is why I didnt let this event pass by without my presence. Hahaha!
Byahilo at the Philippine Travel Tour Expo
Last February 16 I went to the Mall of Asia to check out the Philippine Travel Tour Expo. The Philippine Travel Tour Expo is an annual event held every February. The event is known in offering drop down prices for both local and international package tours. Local and international airlines have also dropped their airfares. Hotels and resorts have also cut their booking rates.
Blog Ethics and Libel Law Discussion
Last February 16, 2008, I attended the Blog Ethics and Libel Law Roundtable Talk with Atty. Butch Dado as the resource speaker. The talk was organized by Blog and Soul Movement. It was held at the cozy Kape Isla in Serendra, Bonifacio Global City Taguig Philippines.
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 (!!)
Meat like pork and beef come from Batanes itself - reason for the beautiful scenery of those cows grazing in the undulating valleys and hills. 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 expected. Everything, it seems, was seasonal.
A picnic on the beach is a must when you’re doing the requisite Batanes tour. A local caterer comes with the package, and they often prepare must-try Batanes food to give you an idea of what the locals eat. Among these are their delectable yellow rice, their adobo or lunis, steamed coconut crabs, and oved (strips of banana heart mixed with ground meat then formed into balls).
