After ten years and looking much more like our age, dressed appropriately and all, the karaoke-singing, rugby-playing, believers of Nil Sine Numine, are now in a band, aptly called THE JURASSICS... now playing in Foodstreet.

GOOD TIMES! ^_^

In honor of my big sis, Marmel. Until we see each other again... (Ormoc or in Dumaguete!) *wink*

Location: Foodstreet

Have you ever been to a place where everything seemed so familiar and you couldn't help but feel so at home, that the next thing you know you're looking for a job and scouting for places to stay just so you won't have to go through the pain of bidding adieu to such a beautiful place?

Well, friends.. that's Dumaguete for me. I don't know why it took me 26 years to ever set foot on this lovely city in Negros Oriental. I swear, man, it was like love at first sight.

But one thing's for sure, Dumaguete, I'm coming back! :P Oh, and Noodle Boy's coming with me, too! ;)

Thank you so much Big Sis, Indai, Ken, and Japs!

The best part about being in Manila is the great food, excellent company and the quintessential urban culture. Nothing like it for a probinsiyana like moi! ;)

RameNoodles flies to MLA to attend the Century Bangus Thanksgiving Lunch.. Boy, was it worth it all!!!

And so... we were there... again! This year was pretty challenging because it rained a whole lot... and I mean, A LOT!

The trip was pretty nasty, too. With all those 6-meter waves (exag!) that my mom and aunts decided not to go. But I survived nonetheless. I was going to bring my camera along during the procession but the rain was making me think twice, so I didn't risk it. Although there were people bringing their cams there, I thought maybe an umbrella was a far much better choice to carry. ;) Also, my mom insisted... so there.

The route of this year's procession was different.

We had to walk all the way to V. RAMA, B. Rodriguez, etc. when before we used to take a turn at P. del Rosario... Boy, did we burn major calories there! I practically collapsed after... and got blisters on my feet. The drugstore clerk said their Band-Aids were almost sold out by the time we went to buy some because so many people were asking for it.

By evening, we hit I.T. Park just because we were feeling our age. LOL! The taxi driver made snide remarks as we watched kids cross the street and he said, "Bantog ra uwanon ang Sinulog kay unsa man pod ning mga sinul-otan sa mga batan-on! Labi na nang tua sa Mango ron!" [No wonder it rains during the Sinulog because of what kids are wearing these days (referring to the girls)! Especially the ones in Mango tonight!] I couldn't help but laugh. Yeah, I can feel it. I am getting old because I, too, sometimes say those things. Tee hee! Especially because I don't wear such provocative clothes... do I? *bitter*

Too many parties all over Cebu last Saturday night. We had dinner at Ila Puti and then went to Patio Ecila (same place we were at last year) because it was pretty much age-appropriate for us. Plus the music can't be beat. Not too loud either. (OMG! I can't believe I'm saying these things. I'm starting to feel ancient. Haha!) No Embassy, no Loft for us. But did drop by Metro (which used to be Bravio) for some poker. ;)

Damn cold night, too. (What's up with my hands/arms?)

The rest of the weekend we slept, heard mass, shopped/window shopped, and watched movies. Didn't bother to watch the Mardi Gras because you could hardly drop a needle with all the traffic going on. Tsk. Also, I forgot to take pictures of the fireworks! *slaps forehead* Man, they were awesome! Maybe next year ;)

Anyway, thanks Sto. Niño! Although it rained the whole weekend and we got drenched, still we aren't down with any kind of sickness. VIVA! PIT SENYOR!

The great thing about living in Asia or the East for that matter is the food we get the chance to eat. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of weird but truly delectable viands available. One of these is the exotic food selection locally.

I don't know if I'd get in trouble with Animal Rights and be charged with animal cruelty, but that sort of thing isn't really a big issue around here... especially when it comes to FOOD! I haven't really done any research about it except ask around, but people seem to get away with hunting wild boars or catching turtles to eat... or even dogs for that matter. I think you guys have seen me feast on some of that over the years. ;)

But this week's menu is not the sort of thing you see every day. Well, I don't... and the last time I had one of these had been years actually.

What the heck is that?

My blog has evolved! It used to be all talk and verbal diarrhea. Now, it's all images and more images. I just realized it and kinda like how it had turned out actually--despite the fact that it doesn't leave a whole lot to the imagination anymore. :(
