Missing Filipino Food

I miss my home cooked Filipino meal. Although my Inang ( mother) is not the best cook, my Tatang ( father) was. Oh, now I am missing my dad. Funny, how on Sunday is Father's Day and I am missing my father's cooking. I do not eat certain food if my father did not prepare them. Some, if feel icky if not cleaned by my dad. Like "dalag", fish that is grown in muddy waters. I find them yummy but never would I eat it onrestaurants and parties, for the sole reason that my father did not prepare it.

So, the other day, I went on a food trip. Not having a decent Filipino restaurant in my area, I went to the closest it could be. I can not describe the fusion meal at this place but it is a dimsum place with a touch of everything Asian. Well, at least close to my Asian taste. I had a food trip! Food was great, price is ok. The experience is good except for the language barrier. I can not understand anything and if you try to ask what is the food, obviously not able to speak in Cantonese or mandarin, they pretend you know what they are talking about. I guess, I can not complain. So here's what I had!

Blogs I Love

This is funny. When I go online it seems I have a specific way of visiting the sites I get my updates. So here they are. I love chuvaness.com for its varied topics and the immense randomness. I have yet to introduce myself but I have lurked in there for so long. I also like seaofshoes for "make-me-jealous-" moments. This is a blog maintained by a high school student who is awesomely fashionable, she focuses mostly on shoes. Jane is totally adorable. Although a lot may criticize her for flaunting too much extravagance, she is not apologetic for it nor is she bragging. I feel that she just enjoys herself as a young woman. I visit pep.ph ( a Philippine showbiz site), for the old time connection and to update myself with Philippine gossips! I love bomoms for informational entries. I also often visit onechicmama. But this is a confession I have to swallow hard. I am a purseblog addict. I am always at the purse forum trying to satisfy my insatiable appettite for bags. I thought I was bag addict and I was such a horrible shopper and spender and that I have a vast collection.... until I got there and boom..... I am justified... hahhahhah! I guess I can not tell you all my fave blogs to visit, otherwise I be judged. So these are my "sterile" sites!

Facebook, Friendster, Twitter

I have accounts to almost every social networking ( except myspace). Now, WTH is all those quizzes, notes and what have yous? Dang! I hate texting, in fact I send one liners if I have to, I feel that if I have to send 5 sms in a conversation, it is more productive ( at least for me), to just dial the d*mn phone.... I use all these networking to update my freinds and family to what is going on with me and thew family but I guess I should just do it here in my blog... no need to poke back.... hahhhahhah!
