teka, parang nabaligtad yata ah hehehe

di bale nang matuyuan ng lalamunan makatikim lang ng Cuban hottie (hey, that doesn't sound right)

pare madali lang - pag nagkita tayo I'll tell, you no strings attached - just a cigar hehehe

 

rhodium is a precious metal of the platinum group, same with iridium and other -iums :D ... usually used as an in-lay (not got laid!!)  in nibs (that's a b not a p!!)  of fountain pens....

 

sabi ko na nga ba precious commodity ito eh - like emeralds or sapphires or rubies or pearls...

 

like an Opus One - it's a precious commodity!

hop over!!!  you are just 1.5 hours from joing this hilarious, irreverent bunch of wineheads (yan ha winehead sinabi ko, hindi d***heads like pinoy knows me calling each and every happy ho* pol**!!!

 

that's the trouble whenever you cross the dateline on your business trips.... you are expected to work in the morning (when guys on the otherside are sleeping) and work (when you are supposed to be asleep because the guys on the otherside are already awake!)

 

good luck!!!

 

I wish I could, but next week I am on jury duty so I must be back by Tuesday. Also, I am in the middle of planning a kitchen remodel and I need the weekend to try to line up a coup0le more contractors. I am running out of time - my cabinets and appliances are already on order and I need to get work started before that stuff shows up!!! On the good side, I have a design from my designer for the wine bar I am putting in. it will take my TransTherm wine closet, a couple of cabinets for glasses and such and an under counter cabinet to hold the Johnny, JD and other liquor bottles.

Thanks - I'll be back in Taiwan perhaps the end of August or early September. I need to go to Dongguan in September or October as well, so any one of those trips will make a good time to swing by Manila. Perhaps on the trip where I go to both Taiwan AND China. Instead of staying in HK I may elect to spend the weekend in Manila. By then I hipe this kitchen thing will be over and done with!

 

In the mean time, no new wine adventures. Hsinchu doesn't seem to be the place for such explorations. Taipei has at least one restaurant where I can go for good wine. Here, no such luck. At least I'm staying within walking distance of the Pig and Whistle, where I can get cold San Miguel in the painted bottle.

yun naman pala, eh! my manila arrival will be on Aug 26. I will however go diving, then go to cebu to take care of some personal business. i'll be back in manila on wednesday, 8/31. i have reservations at edsa shang. departure for sfo is on sep 5. it would be great if you make it to mnl on any of those five nights. i'm sure it'll be a riot if we all get together.

 

we're only an hour away from each other here on the east bay, sa manila pa tayo mag mi meet :D

After President Chirac disparaged British cuisine by calling it Europe's worst food after Finland's, it seems the British will have its revenge.

 

Britain will take its 6-month turn as EU host in Brussels and when Chirac is there, all he will ever be served is English pudding, etc and not French Champagne but wine from..............Cornwall! :sick: :wacko: :lol:

 

he will also be served Welsh wines :unsure: :blink:

Ang hirap kasi mag-schedule ngayon - between work and the kitchen thing, not enough hours in the day. And have you seen the traffic across the Benicia Bridge on Saturdays lately? Last time inabot kami ng over 2 hours from Fremont to Fairfield. Made no difference 680 or 780 from Benicia, traffic pa rin.

 

End of Aug up to Sept 5, huh? OK. I will do my best - my trip schedule depends on what happens at work, as usual.

now that's what i call an eb if there is one!! edsa shang is very accessible for bods and i. we hold our ebs at a spanish deli which is pretty much down the road from your hotel. pinoy strigoi is from that area too. this is surely one great event! have a good weekend!

Hi Guru(s)..

 

Silent...but learning more and more about wines.  I've been in wine shops for the past two days now trying to learn as much as I can... to be worthy of being part of this forum.

 

ako rin, am lurking and reading without posting lang. as i always say, ang alam ko lang sa wines is red, white, and blue (nun). :P

 

am just trying to absorb everything...like a sponge. :D

Spongebobby and Augustmoon... share nyo rin your experiences in the wine shops you visited!!! Honestly from what I read on this thread (dont consider what i post as this is all irreverent and jabber) I have a better appreciation of my time when i visit wine shops. I go through each label, engage the shop owner with some talk or go through the shops tasting notes.

 

boy, i really could use a drink today.. just had a meeting with our bankers... as as they say.. if you owe a bank 100thousand, you are worried and you cant sleep!!! if you owe a bank 100million, your bankers are worried and they cant sleep!!! :lol: (puyat na puyat na ang bankers namin!!!!)

 

have a great weekend!!! i hope to expect wine reports from you!!!!
