“Musmos”

Preparing RELIEF GOODS for the Matina-Bangkal Flood Victims.

For those from Davao who are interested in DONATING RELIEF GOODS, you can drop off your donations at Elnavilla’s Bakeshop/Buko Pies. It’s located along MacArthur Highway, Matina; Sazon Motors Building; right beside Patok Sa Manok and across the street from Buffet Palace; before you make a turn for Tulip Drive.

A couple of friends of mine will be distributing the goods to their neighbors who have lost their homes, most of the things they own, and some of them, even their loved ones. These people badly need clothing, blankets, mats, toiletries, food items, milk, rice and other basic needs. Any help will mean a lot. (But please do not give us cash donations. We wouldn’t know what to do with your money.)

Ferrero Rocher. My favorite chocolate treat! I just love how these chocolate spheres are made. I always eat each sphere very carefully. I take down the golden wrapper first, of course! Then the choco-nut coating. Then the crust core. Then the cocoa (Nutella). And finally, the whole hazelnut!

Ferrero Rocher boasts its “craftsmanship, perfection and excellence” making it very successful since it was introduced in 1982. I’m wondering when will I get my hands again on these treats? Not long, I hope!

This is really mouthwatering for my first food post!

365 DAYS - 365 PHOTOS - Photo 1, taken March 10, 2011, Philippines.

This series of photographs begins with this friendly gentleman, who I I ran into in the Philippines earlier this year. 

This photo was taken in the hills of Northern Luzon, in a truly magical place called Banaeu. It is home to the most amazing rice terraces on the planet. I was filming here earlier this year and am hoping to get to the footage this summer or early in the fall to make a small video about the issues surround this UNESCO World Heritage Area.

Philippines is currently experiencing this rainy weather. It has already been raining all day and now, there’s traffic everywhere. Especially in Edsa. Floods too. I hope the student’s stranded in Vito Cruz are still okay and doing good. They’re experiencing a 26-inch flood(baha) there. The Ondoy(a strong typhoon that hit Marikina City -all around metro manila too- and destroyed everything that it’s in sight) victims in Marikina, from what my Granddad told me they’ve already evacuated the premises because the high of the water measurement thingamabob is already at it’s critical level. I hope they’re okay…

And me, still waiting for an update on our school if they’re gonna give a class suspension tomorrow. If that happens, Blue is Best is cancelled for the first time… in what history I know.

Later, going to continue studying for History.

This is  Alibata the writing system that was once used in the Philippines.

Ice Scramble

After all the eating we went shopping.

After seven years, not much has changed. The unsavory-looking bits are still there. The following shopping malls, however, were new to me.

They’re given numbers for names for luck I guess. Chinese superstition. I’m no expert, so I’m not even going to try and explain. I’ll leave that to Wikipedia he he he.

The stalls inside sell everything. I wish I would have taken pictures, but I didn’t have the guts to do it. If we had more time we could have stayed there all day. A lot of the store owners are new Chinese immigrants from areas close to where my grandparents are from (I’m guessing based on linguistic similarities). I like how I could understand them when they speak the dialect. The accent here in Taiwan is much much different so it is harder to understand.

I’m sleepy. Adios.

long weekend hell yessss
