Las Flores: The Spanish Restaurant with a Catalan Twist


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Hola!  Are yored of the usual stuff?

How about trying something different for your drinks and have it served in very unusual mugs, jars and other extraordinary containers served with your authentic Spanish cuisine - with a touch of Catalan influence.


You might have already learned way back in grade school that a great deal of our culture in the Philippines has Spanish  influences. The Philippine culture, including the food that we eat and most especially how we cook it, owes a great deal from our Spanish neighbors. 

However, it was actually a surprise for me to see that most of the meals served at the Las Flores Spanish Restaurant were creatively served to us. Most of the dishes were served on different plates and all the specialty drinks had their unique glasses or jars. The food and drink tasting revealed that all food and drinks, including the dessert, served to our group were appealing to our taste. 


Carlos Celdran Found Guilty of "Offending the Religious Feelings"?



“@CarlosCeldran found guilty of the crime of "offending the religious feelings.”


So only Catholics have the right to be offended? How about atheists who (not all) are often getting grilled in mass. They don't have the right to be respected for their opinion?

This is ridiculous! I'm a Catholic and I'm pretty sure Jesus believed in forgiveness and tolerance. I was expecting our priests to make an effort to converse with Mr. Celdran but this is plain vindictive. Getting people jailed for expressing themselves is something a zealot would do. Strangely enough, this is similar to what Herod did to John the Baptist.

I don't think that's the issue, though. If you feel offended by anyone, you are free to go to the courts and sue anyone.

The Catholic Church has too strong links to the government. America is heading down that path now if I recall.

Heys Luggage : Puerto Galera Photo Shoot with A Heavy Duty Bag



Wazzup Pilipinas!

Who says a luggage can only be used for air travel? Heys Luggage - was the star at our Puerto Galera boat ride. My Heys luggage has the best seat in the boat - the front.

Can you see my Heys travelling luggage that I brought with me to Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro?

Its filled to the brim with all my stuff that will be used for a product photo shoot - tough and reliable even via road or boat travel.

There would be always be times when you really need a heavy duty and dependable luggage where you can put in as many possible items for a task that requires you to carry a lot of equipment, materials and other stuff. You would need a tough luggage to weather all the bumps and bruises - and even the threat of getting wet especially on a trip that requires you to take on a one and a half hour of boat ride from the Batangas pier all the way to the island paradise called Puerto Galera.
