Last Monday was a National Heroes holiday and I was happy to have my weekend extend to a three day rest.

Play Basketball. Well, it’s not actually a rest day because the Mtg peeps decided to play basketball that morning at West Bridge school gym. I was able to join only one game because we arrived almost an hour late. Still, it was a fun exercise because I didn’t able to play basketball since college. Lol.

Burger and Pasta Foodtrip. We ended playing at noon and decided to go somewhere to eat. I suggested we go to Perry Todds since I really want to check out the food of that place. Perry Todds is serving the biggest burgers in town at just a cheap price. Since there were 5 of us left as others went home, we ordered two cheeseburgers, a Carbonara, spaghetti (it had a specific name which I forgot) and a tower iced tea. Way to recover that energy spent playing. Lol.

Magic 2010 Booster Draft. After filling up our stomachs with burger and pasta, we planned to spend the afternoon playing booster draft at Rei’s place. We dropped by the mtg store to get some opened booster packs to recycle as draft boosters. Big thanks to Gian for letting us borrow his packs. We do some sorting by colors first and since the packs don’t have rares in it, we substituted a fourth uncommon in its place. We started repacking the boosters after the sort and were able to have packs that are good for two draft sessions.

My first draft brought me to play Red White, Boros aggro type deck and had a record of 2-1. The second draft turned me into mono black with half of the deck filled with spot removals. My game winning cards were a set of Looming Shades. Lol. I lost again on the first round (against Blue White) and won the next two rounds. Record of 2-1 on both drafts is not back I guess.

Check out the pics below.

Overall, it was a fun-filled holiday for me. Thanks to Dj Mards for the pics, to Gian for the booster packs and to Rei for the venue.

How did you spend your Heroes holiday?

Hey peeps. This is actually a late post but hey, its better late than never. I just got too busy at work. Anyway, the trip was last Tuesday. After my off from work, I went to Jaro Plaza to meet with my brother who had invited me earlier to go to Roxas City to meet with his childhood classmate. I arrived there earlier and had to wait for about an hour (and also was fighting my sleepiness). He arrived around 7:30 in the morning, rested for a bit and we’re headed off to Roxas city.

To sum up the rest of the trip, here are the pics.

It was raining hard here in Iloilo when we left for Roxas. Took this while I was really wanting to sleep in the back.

...and now the front view...

My nephew and my older sis also joined the trip. We arrived at Gaisano Roxas and took a quick snack while waiting.

We decided to meet with utol's friend at the city's seafood resto area and chose this stall to fill our stomachs.

The best the store can offer... *drools*

Utols (in yellow) and his friend Magno were in-charged of choosing the menu (and also paying it. lol)

While waiting, I decided to roam around and take some pics. Here's one.

Manang was doing some cleaning of the scallops (that's what they called it. not sure if this is correct)

A closer look. I liked the way they cook the scallops in butter.

The first casualty was this pile of Talaba. I was eating even before the rice was served. lol

We're still waiting for the rest... they really looked hungry now.

Lunch is finally served. Here's the rest of the "casualties" lol

Kainan na!

After lunch, we went back to Gaisano City Roxas to check a few things before going to Pan-ay, Capiz to see the church.

The marvelous Sta. Monica Church of Pan-ay, Capiz

The replica of the church's biggest bell. It is actually the third largest in the world. The real one is located on the church belfry.

A close up on the encryption.

We were actually able to go the belfry and see the actual bell there. Unfortunately, my bro’s cam ran out of battery and the memory card of Magno’s cam who took the rest of the pics broke. Oh well. It was a very fun experience though.

I’m looking forward for another travel escapade this year and I hope Team Videoke will finally decide on a trip despite the busy sked. In the meantime, I gotta say goodbye.

Until next post and thanks very much for reading…

This site has really intrigued me since the first time I saw it. The delicious food pics they post gives me a bad feeling to really lose weight. I decided to have my own version, look for pics and post some delicious but not that gross Filipino food here.

Here we go!

The pic above is the chicken pecho inasal from Mang Inasal. Actually its not the chicken that makes you fat. Its their unlimited rice. Lol.

Crispy Pata or Deep-Fried Pork Leg. Image courtesy of Halohalongpinoy.

Beef nilaga or boiled beef. Damn, I’m drooling right now.

One of my favorites, the Dinuguan or pork blood stew. Looks gross but wait til you get a taste of it. Image courtesy of Wyatt’s Kitchen.

This is just about it for now. There are alot more actually but I guess you get the idea. Now burn those fats! (I’m telling this to myself. lol)
