  1. in an episode of "without a trace", the mother of the filipino nanny had this line, "bakit pumunta pa tayo dito?". i wasn't really sure that's what she said until the daughter translated for the other people in the scene. the actreess playing the mom is korean-american so parang ang labo ng tagalog accent niya. i purposely watched the summer episode rerun just to wait for that scene. since hinihintay ko na, naintindihan ko na ang sinabi.

  2. Sirloin steak with bernaise sauce - Medium well please!

    at Prince Albert's Rotisserie - Intercon Hotel Makati

    This made me so hungry

    my family used to frequent prince albert's when i was still young. i haven't been there in ages! is it still considered one of the top restaurants in the metro-manila area? i remember the good food of course, and the excellent atmosphere and service. i think i'll visit this place the next time i am in manila. i'll bring my kids too.
