Looks like 2007 is a groundbreaking year for local bloggers as more of them (us!) are attending events previously exclusively reserved for the traditional media or the press. Don't know if it's an advantage for me since am both a mainstream writer and a blogger. I have to admit though that it feels surreal being accustomed to formal press conferences all these years, and then seeing my fellow bloggers invade the scene little by little. I know that some bloggers have made a stand and feel icky about accepting a free lunch from rah-rah publicists. Still, it appears ... Continue Reading...
What makes me proud to be Filipino, and then some…
Wanderer Nina has tagged me to name at least three reasons why am proud and happy to be a Filipino. Here's why: 1. We grin and bear it.

The Day-Off Chef: ‘Pata Bihon’
my pata bihon For this month's edition of Lasang Pinoy hosted by the fabulous Toni with a focus on vegetables, I would have wanted to feature those favorite dishes of mine cooked with coconut milk. Problem is, cooking with coconut milk remains my waterloo. Somehow, I can't seem to perfect the recipe for guinataang langka or guinataang sitaw at kalabasa - all yummy with native fish, fried to a crunchy perfection. Between these and a gourmet meal, I'd take home-cooked/ carinderia mush anytime. The dish I cooked won't qualify as a veggie dish since its star ... Continue Reading...
