Post image for Delectable Uhong (Wild Mushroom)

I never thought I’d find uhong (wild mushroom) while cleaning my backyard. There’s only one mature and another sukol (young mushroom). I know it’s edible because back in Iloilo we have them from the farm or sometimes buy them from the farmers and mushroom gatherers.
The rainy season is usually the time when wild mushrooms germinate. [...]

The Twilight Filipino Version is not going to be titled Takipsilim as what’s been going around the net in the past two years.  This time it’s for real and it’s entitled Imortal with Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz in the lead roles. Although it’s not the same story as Twilight, it’s quite obvious the [...]

Her answer may have cost her the Miss Universe crown but the tables have turned unexpectedly in favor of Venus Raj. It’s her that the media are talking about thanks to her “major, major” answer. More than the proclaimed Miss Universe Ximena Navarrette of Mexico. It gave us something to talk about other than the [...]

“May you live in interesting times.” This is a Chinese curse which is also said to have been based on the Chinese proverb “It’s better to be a dog in a peaceful time than be a man in a chaotic period.”
Indeed, the Philippines is in interesting times after the Quirino grandstand hostage taking. It is [...]

This promdi does go the big city every now and then. Every occasion to do so is a test of  my surviving skills in the concrete jungle that is Metro Manila. One thing I’ve learned in order to get around the metropolis is to bring loads of cash for taxi cab or bring a friend [...]

We woke up the next day from the chirping of the birds. It was all you could hear and the lapping of the waves at the shore. Had we slept at Typhoon Beach Camp, Tatay Ruben told us that we would be woken by a pair of White-Breasted Sea Eagle that’s nesting [...]

When are we going to have a team playing at the FIFA World Cup? Probably not in a very very long time. Despite the fact that we obviously lack in height, our number one sport is basketball. Every barangay in the country may not have a health center but they surely have a basketball court. [...]

Hacendera for A Day: My Negros Hacienda Tour Experience

Gaston Mansion June 22, 2010

The sugar barons of Negros Occidental lived in an era long forgotten. They lived in mansions in the middle of sugar plantations, attended by their servants and money seem to be overflowing. It is a life that most of us can only dream of. Thanks to Imelda Tinsay of Next Stop Negros [...]
