Boholano Cuisine at Amorita Resort's Saffron Restaurant

While I really absolutely had fun and enjoyed my Bohol Country-side Tour and my fantastic Garden Villa accommodation, care of Amorita Resort in Panglao Island Bohol, my main purpose that night was to try and taste the signature Boholano Cuisine prepared by Amorita's Saffron Restaurant.



If I am to summarize the food experience and the taste in a word, it would be gingery. Bohol’s cuisine is characterized by the use of a lot of ginger, lemongrass and a turmeric. So here's what Amorita's Saffron Restaurant made for me that evening. Let's start the food adventure!

Postura Project: Wear Something Filipino Everyday!

Have you heard of the Postura Project? If not, let me tell you about this great project of Arriane Serafico, David Guison, Sarah Meier-Albano and Knox Balbastro. These four geniuses have come together in support of the Filipino clothing and fashion industries by submitting to a creative 30-day challenge to WEAR something FILIPINO everyday!


Arriane Serafico's style is a "maximalist mix of color, sparkle, and fun." David Guison presents a "Grungified street style that's dark and edgy." Sarah Meier sports a "trend-free, ghetto fab, minimalist, bohemian." While Knox Balbastro likes "ethnic Pinoy inspired, creative work wear."

I really love this project that is why I would like to promote it to my friends and readers. It's high time that we go out of our way and appreciate our own. Filipinos and our crafts, after all, are starting to compete, "trend," and be known globally. Boo yeah!

And so, I was challenged by Sarah to try it out.

Major Major Design by Mark Gosingtian

This is a pretty good satire design of Mark Gosingtian on the answer of Miss Philippines Venus Raj in the recently concluded Miss Universe pageant. "Major, major." "Major," it reads, is "a field grade military officer rank just above the ranks of captain and just below the rank of lieutenant colonel." "Major major," on the other hand, well, you decide. :)

iPhone in the Philippines!

Finally! iPhone reaches this part of the world - Asia - Philippines. It was announced today that Globe Telecom will carry the iPhone line. Personally, I am just excited, and I can't wait to get hold of one. I have been waiting for the Asian release since Steve Jobs launched the phone. I just hope they've fixed the difficulty of the texting function of the iPhone, to fit Asian/Filipino texters' addiction to that feature. :3
