Mula Sa 'Puso'

Puso or "hanging rice" is a staple of Cebu's vibrant barbecue culture. It's easy to find this prefabricated boiled rice all along Cebu's towns, where there are barbecue stands. I didn't realize this before, but apparently puso has a Malay equivalent, packaged in the same palm leaves and served in the same manner.

The rice has a distinct taste, apart from regular boiled rice, probably a product of the colorful eco friendly wrapping. Puso, tastes heavenly with some soy sauce and chili, grab a stick of barbecued pork or chicken, wash it down with some Red Horse and you're all set.

Working out the kinks on my new DSLR

Just bought a new lens for my Canon Digital Rebel Xti, and tested it out on one of my favorite photo subjects, my cute mestiza niece. Hailey's not at all camera shy, and loves to pose for pictures, like a true Filipino lol.

This Picture is taken with a Quantaray 55-200mm Autofocus Telephoto Lens, at maximum Aperture setting. I'm just learning to take shots like this, hopefully I can figure out how to work the kinks out.

Looking ahead to Pacquiao vs Marquez II

I've been waiting for this fight since 2004, Marquez is the last of Mexico's three-headed monster who hasn't been taken down by the Pacman whirlwind. The last time around, Pacquiao knocked down Marquez three times in the first round, but with a lot of heart and skill Marquez managed to convince the Judges, though not this blogger, that it was a draw. Marquez is older now, but doesn't have that much "ring" age, it should still be a great fight and I can hardly wait till the middle of March for the fight! Go pac!

Check out the Honey Pot

A nice new club just opened up in Ybor City, it has a burlesque theme, which sets it apart from many of the other night spots in the historic Ybor District. Tonight, was an 18 and up night, and honestly the place was kind of empty, though with my clubber's eyes I can tell that this place has potential to more.

Lunar Eclipse

Apparently tonight is the last chance to catch a glimpse of a Full Lunar Eclipse, 7:00 P.M Pacific Time and 10:00 Atlantic Time. Because of how the Earth bends the reflected light, the Moon will not appear black, but rather Orange! Amazing, I've seen these once or twice in my life, and it's an eerie feeling staring at the glowing red/orange moon.
