While most of the people back home are in an All Souls Day mood now, we cannot feel the same here in UAE. In Abu Dhabi, in particular, people are bracing themselves for the Formula One Grand Prix with the final race set on 1st of November.

I photographed these pages from a friend’s showbiz magazine. I can’t believe that she bought one. And would you believe I also bought one of the issues, for Judy Ann and Ryan’s wedding coverage (for the first time in my OFW life. Heehee. )? Guess, what? Until now, I haven’t read it. 
I’m not from their era but whenever Bagets 1 and 2 are shown in Cinema One/Global, I try to watch it over and again.

One of the things that I like being in Manila Chinatown is the opportunity to feast on Chinese yummies randomly in unpretentious restaurants. You get to eat in a little glamorous above carinderia style, with no airconditioning, no fancy chairs and tables, and other variable and fixed overhead that probably explain why the food are reasonably priced. Chuankee, which is manned by the same people behind Eng Bee Tin and Mr. Ube, is one of them.
Their beef noodles is reliable. I don’t know why, but this time I wish it were a little spicy. I also noticed that it’s sweet for my current taste. Probably, that’s a tiny adjustment to come up with a “Pinoy” taste. Or maybe it is there all along but I didn’t notice it much until I had the exact basis of comparison, i.e. after trying those prepared in the Traditional Noodle House in Hong Kong.
I’m fond, too, of their asadong tainga ng baboy (pig’s ears). I know some people don’t eat this part. This brought me to that day when we didn’t let a former officemate to know exactly what we were ordering. As they say, what you don’t know won’t hurt you. We addressed her concerns psychologically.

I always find it interesting to compare new and old pictures of places and people. Hence, in my most recent visit to Binondo Church, I wanted to capture the obvious changes that transpired based on available old photos in the net.

Part of the Desert Safari is the camel ride. We noticed that a crocheted material is tied to the mouth of the camels. They’re quite adorable yet I pity them at the same time because they are tied to this activity for profit making. On a lighter note, it’s a wonder how they made a lot of adaptations to survive the desert. Amongst are the ability to close their nostrils to avoid the sand (maybe that’s one of the reasons why their mouths are covered) and their thick, leathery knees do not get burnt by the hot sand when they kneel.
