The King of Steaks and The King of Bacon:
Back in the day,
during the era when
MARS
was the hottest club in the city,
Elbert and my wonderful ex-GF
worked together in the club's office,
and I would hang out there so often,
I was almost included in their payroll.
Flash forward 12 years,
Elbert's now the Purveyor of the Best Beef in the City,
both at his high-end Steakhouse,
and at this accessible Sandwich Bar.

What If PHILIPPINE POLITICIANS turned into STAR WARS characters?
NINOY : Obi Wan Kenobi
TEDDYBOY LOCSIN : Han Solo
A genuine old-fashioned romantic;
the tough guy with a soft heart.
Always ready with the fastest, quickest quips!
FVR : Yoda
The Star Wars Universe
would not miss, and would actually
be better off, without JarJar,
who can never utter one sensible word.
Philippine Politics would...
BLIND ITEMS:
_________ : Jabba the Hutt
Powerful behind-the-scenes operator
always implicated in big-time scams.
Always hungry.
_________ : Salacious Crumb
Salacious Crumb is that ugly little creature
that's so attached to Jabba,
they seem to be married.
It has a very shrill voice, and
the most irritating laugh in the galaxy.
@ percy, francis, and nolo:
thanks for all the spot-on geeky inputs!
LA DOLCE VITA at the BEST ITALIAN FROZEN YOGURT in Manila: WHITE HAT!!!
I used to have to travel all the way to
Angles City in Pampanga just to get my
FroYo Fix at COLD SPOON,
The Best Little Frozen Yogurt Shop!!!
In the past twelve months or so,
quite a few shops have opened in the city,
from U.S. franchises to Pinoy originals;
despite having similar names
like California Cherry and Pink Mango,
none came close to the tangy delights
of Pampanga's Best "Korean" Frozen Yogurt...
that is, until I tasted
But for me,
what makes White Hat stand out
like a white hat among black caps?
The TOPPINGS.
White Hat has 48, count 'em 48 toppings;
I wanted so much to,
but I couldn't try them all;
but from those that I had, these stood out:
1. Homemade GRANOLA:
so good, so healthy,
it will soon be available by itself
in take out packs.
2. Homemade WALNUT STREUSEL:
think of the best buttery crumbly crust
of the best French Apple Pie
you've ever had...
I'm going back to try these toppings
available only here at White Hat,
along with the homemade cheesecake and brownie toppings,
the mochi using real japanese flours and powders,
the green tea and ube jellies,
and the classic toppings
with fresh fruits and
imported chocolates!

WHITE HAT!!!
This stuff's seriously good.
It's also seriously ITALIAN.
The yogurt primer powdered mixes are all
imported from the land of Firenze and Roma,
splashed with fresh low-fat milk to stimulate
an explosion of those super healthy microcultures,
and best of all, made daily, by batch, on premise,
guaranteeing the freshest frozen yogurt you can enjoy.
Since I realized that White Hat is 98% Fat Free,
I decided to have all three flavors for lunch:
Original Tangy White,
Green Tea Greatness,
and
Strawberrific Fragelo!
I loved them all,
with equal passion,
and devoured them all
with equal deliberation.

ARAW ng DILAW
On August 21, 2009,
Make Ninoy and Cory’s spirit of sacrifice
live within you.
Sa Araw ng Dilaw,
Wear something yellow.
Light a yellow candle
to remember Ninoy and Cory’s love for the Filipino.
And if you’re on the road on that day
Keep the flame of Ninoy and Cory burning.
Along with a thousand other cars,
switch on your hazard lights from 6pm to 7pm
and spread the country’s Yellow Spark far and wide.
