Putong Ube

I am recently obsessed with these tiny puto (steamed rice muffins). Normally they are white and have salted egg and/or cheese on top. These come in ube (purple yam), pandan (green ones-pandan is a leaf used to flavor our rice and our sweet drinks with shaved ice and tapioca), cheese, and muscovado (dark brown sugar). These are so YUMMY.

Man, I miss the beach. El Nido, Palawan is the ultimate. It's better than Phuket, Thailand, mind you.

Pangalusian Island

A little bit of trivia: Alex Garland's "The Beach" was inspired by El Nido. He wrote the novel while living there. The film (yes, that Leo movie) wasn't allowed to shoot in El Nido for environmental reasons, so instead they opted for Ko Phi Phi Lee in Thailand.

Minilok Island

Don't you wish you can just live by the beach? So glad I live in a tropical country, beaches are just two hours away. ;) This one though, took us an hour via charter plane that reminded me of the movie, Madagascar. This place is too stunning for words.

Impunity - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos

It is election season here in the Philippines, and violence reigns over. As of today, there are 57 bodies found in Maguindanao, Mindanao, Philippines. The decapitated, slaughtered bodies of women and journalists joining the gubernatorial slate of Vice Mayor Mangudadatu. It's not just about political dynasties waging war on each other, it affects everyone, every Filipino. This is an attack on our freedom, we are now bound with fear. Fuck you, GMA, you have forgotten about Mindanao and this land is now terrorized by warlords and their private armies.

"It is perversion so systematic it carries with it its own violent logic: the vote is meaningless, the public’s will is the warlord’s will, life is puny."
