After I finished casting my vote, Tim and I decided to go to town to have lunch at Allan’s Talabahan. This is one of the “tourist attactions” of Oton. In my opinion, they serve the best talabas in Iloilo. But don’t listen to me though, I may be biased because I live in Oton. Haha! But nothing compares to Allan’s baked talaba! It’s the best! Allan’s Talabahan is located at J.C. Zulueta Street and they will open a branch at Anhawan Beach Resort and Spa soon.

So are you craving for talaba and seafood? Come visit Oton!

The Iloilo Bloggers met again yesterday, May 9th to discuss about the progress of our plans for the Visayas Blogging Summit 2010 which will be held here in Iloilo. We make it a point to meet twice a month to ensure that we are all on the same page, following up on each others tasks and responsibilities. We all want this first ever blogging event in Iloilo to be a success!

So yesterday we met at New York Barbeque which is located at #29 Jalandoni St. Iloilo City (in front of Centennial Hotel). Tim and I arrived 30 minutes before the appointed time of the meeting so we decided to try out their chicken barbeque and we were not disappointed. The chicken was well done and juicy. I told Tim that it actually tasted like the chicken barbeques of Manokan Country in Bacolod. No kidding. The owner, Patrick Chu and his staff were all very gracious! He gave us free desserts! So if you guys are looking for a new place to hang out and enjoy delicious food why don’t you try New York Barbeque – you won’t be disappointed.

May 10, 2010

I have cast my vote! Now all we have to do is wait – and pray. Pray that after all has been said and done, hopefully the Philippines will finally have the “right” President. Pray that no one will die. Pray that no one will get hurt. Pray for the teachers. And pray that everything will be alright.

I voted for Richard “Dick” Gordon for President and Jejomar Binay for Vice President. Hopefully one of them wins.

I can’t wait to hear the results!

So we can all finally move on.

We went on a day trip to Guimaras yesterday. I have been to Guimaras countless times but this was the first time that I was able to go island hopping, snorkeling and see/touch turtles in Lawi! We went to Ave Maria Island, it had a white sand beach though not as white as Boracay’s but much better because it was quieter and ideal for relaxation. After a couple of hours of lounging at the beach we went back to Raymen’s Beach Resort (that’s where we ate lunch when we arrived by the way). Before going home we went by Trappist Monastery. Of course we didn’t forget to buy Guimaras’ super sweet mangoes! I really had an awesome time with Eric, Junnjun and Nang Ethel! Til next time!

Enjoy the ride!

Fall in love or fall in hate.
Get inspired or be depressed.
Ace a test or flunk a class.
Make babies or make art.
Speak the truth or lie and cheat.
Dance on tables or sit in the corner.
LIFE IS DIVINE CHAOS. Embrace it.
Forgive yourself. Breathe.
AND ENJOY THE RIDE…
