In times of busyness...it's good to recall some of the best tasting food I've encountered for the past weeks. I went to Iloilo last weekend and I so much enjoyed the local cuisine me and my friends feasted on. The hi-lights of the trip was the food served by Ninang Hilda A

Pork Inasal - native pork quickly marinated with vinegar and smothered with salt, then grilled to perfection
Chicken Binakol - grilled native chicken then poured with young coconut's milk
Native Kakanin like ibus,

Grilled diwal (angel-wing shellfish) and a flavorful grilled managat (mangrove jack or Visayan snapper)
kinilaw na tanuige (vinegar-marinated mackerel)
chicken binakol (chicken broth with sweet coconut) was served in a coconut bowl
fat shrimps and salty imbao (mangrove clam) soup

high-end dining experience, nearby is Breakthrough, serving the meatiest lobsters and crabs. There’s also the dangerously delicious aligue (crab fat) rice, which should always be mixed with plain rice, else “you’d be dizzy with instant high blood by the end of the meal,” Lea Lara of ILED warned.

The breezy seaside is also an ideal venue for having another Visayan staple, pork—in all manners of preparation, whether as lechon, kadios-baboy-langka/KBL or liempo.

If I were a character in the Bible impressing my life, that would be Zaccheus. Not because I'm a cunning tax collector or a finance person, but because I know that in spite of my many flaws and self-centered nature, I would want to see and experience Jesus and His love first-hand. By doing so, I need to climb up that tree. My limitations and weaknesses hinder me to see him eye-level, so I have to make a strategy so that Jesus would notice me and have pity to a nobody amidst the bustling crowd eager to swarm on him.

What's Next Korean?

I've lately been into Korean films and TV drama series. True what my sister Denise said- "If you watch Korean drama, you won't need to have a boyfriend." Which means, the drama is enough to make you feel first-hand the joy of falling in love. It is quite addicting as episodes make you look forward to see the next one, and before you realize it, you have finished 6 episodes in just one sitting, and you realize it's time for you to eat or go to the toilet to take a pee. Warning: Getting hooked will really take much of your waking hours. This year, the most recommended Korean dramas/film that had my back aching are the following: Fated to Love You, Lie to Me, Emergency Couple, Rooftop Prince, Queen In Hyun's Man, Always, Big, Sly and Single Again (Single Cunning Lady), He who Cannot Marry.
