Ma Mon Luk this time
I had a chance to eat again at one of my fave restos in the city, Ma Mon Luk Restaurant. Their remaining brach is at Banawe, Quezon Avenue. And I can’t help but reminisce on my childhood.
Before the boom of the fastfood industry, our family used to dine frequently at Ma Mon Luk Restaurant after shopping at Cubao (which was the in place during the 80’s) . I could still see myself sitting on the high chair anticipating for my siopao and enjoying the aroma of the place. …[more]
Short Story: At The End Of The Bar
Cold beer. That’s what it was. Nothing like a cold beer to end a long day. Back in the old days, he was a record holder for downing the most bottles of beer in 10 minutes! When it came to drinking marathons, he was always the last man standing. When they went out clubbing, his tab always had the most number of digits because he drank too much. It was just his fourth bottle and he was starting to feel a bit full.
He started drinking when he was sixteen. By the time he turned nineteen, he was a Beer Drinking Title Holder. He found it weird that at 26, he was having difficulty handling his drink. He laughed. Maybe I peaked to early, he thought as he drank the entire contents of the bottle in just one swig. He signalled the bartender for another bottle while chewing thoughtfully on some peanuts. continue reading At The End Of The Bar…
Scam Alert: You won $500! Yahoo!® Mail congratulates you!
You won $500! Yahoo!® Mail congratulates you!, the subject of an e-mail I have received yesterday said. Attractive subject, isn’t it? Curious about it, I hurriedly open the e-mail, of course with excitement to see the price I have “won”. It’s $500 for God’s sake! Although, I was already suspecting that it was fraud.
The e-mail said that I was one of those “randomly” selected members who won $500. I was one of the 12 top winners accounts who will get cash prizes from them, it says.
Blogger.com Hijacked by Scammers
Be careful with what blogs you visit. Google’s Blogger.com is reportedly being hijacked by scammers to spread malware through fake blogs. Security experts are calling this the “fake blog scam”. Blog hopping or surfing hasn’t been this dangerous.
Scammers are creating what would seem as a normal-looking blogs with ordinary topics like “Star Wars, school, furniture, Christmas, cars and girlfriends” to host a variety of script-initiated malware. What’s scary is that it’s virtually impossible for visitors to spot the danger of these blogs and these malware infested blogs are said to be in the hundreds.
Good food at Good Earth
We brought a client out to lunch last week. I wasnt the host so I was prepared to eat anywhere – not really thinking about a specific place I would like to recommend. Plus, I was raring to try something new – mainly for the purposes of writing about it (ok ok I also love to eat).
It was a restaurant that served Chinese food so I wasnt really expecting much. Its not that I dont like Chinese food. Its just that my father loves it so most of our family lunches and dinners more or less involved something chinese… chopsuey with seacucumber, noodles galore, beef with broccoli and a lot more. Not to mention our trips to chinatown in manila that led us to authentic chinese restaurants. With all that history on my palate, I normally do not prefer eating Chinese when the opportunity to eat somewhere else is present.
Twitter anyone?
Found out about this site just a week ago. First, I thought it was from the people of TWiT. But I was wrong, I learned that it was created by Evan Williams, the person behind Blogger and Odeo.
Missing Pinoy Komiks? Read LITTLE JUNGLE at Nostalgia Manila!
Our friend (Komikero) Gerry Alanguilan reports: “It is unfortunate, but the collapse of the old komiks industry is all but complete. All the old komiks you used to know like Funny Komiks, Pilipino Komiks, Tagalog Klasiks, Hiwaga, Espesyal, etc… are now all gone. The companies that published them are either closed, or have closed their comics departments.” Nostalgia Manila supports our dear comic artists and friends who are fighting hard to revive the Filipino Komiks Industry.
So in this time of great loss and extinction of a favorite Pinoy past-time, Nostalgia Manila treats you to something truly special. In the tradition of Funny Komiks and hilarious Sunday comics serials, Nostalgia Manila brings you an original called Little Jungle!
Divorce in the Philippines: A Must or Not?
A few days ago, a newfound textmate and I had (and are still having) an argument on whether divorce should be made available in the country or not. He told me that marriage is and should always be sacred, whatever fucking happens. Coincidentally, I read two mentions about it in friends’ blogs. Non-Filipinos expressed their surprise: Divorce is illegal in the Philippines? Butbutbut [insert a how question here]?
