With the sincerity of cooking it, slowly roasting it over fire for several hours, basting and supervising it until it is perfectly tender, succulent, moist and so crisp, made the Philippines’s Lechon or roasted pig the Best Pig in Asia (psstt, for me ‘best in the world’ too), according to the latest issue of Time Magazine, in its Best in Asia 2009’s Pork Art by Lara Day from the TV Chef Anthony Bourdain’s review. Pig roast is the Philippines most beloved dish staple lovingly presented on its own lechon tray during fiestas, thanksgivings, parties and any celebration. You can buy it anywhere, or have your pig ordered for roasting by a team of people roasting pigs for business for so exquisite a dish stuffed with lemongrass, tamarind, and select spices served with different gravy or sauce and or ketchup for dipping.

Aside from clothes and personal kits what you bring with you every time you travel? Me, I bring my jewelry pouch with me. Not much in there, just few earrings and necklaces I would wear on occasions. We bought them from different places and they are ‘precious’ for me because of that aside from their quality. And this will not change. What will do is number of clothes I would bring. Next time I will not drag heavy luggage because of them. It’s really better to buy in my homeland because almost everything is my size. But I don’t really mind buying earrings and other stuff, if I so could afford it, for they will not be any trouble at all.

A friend showed me his picture drinking water with a wooden ladle in one of the tourist spots in Japan. There must be something special with the water for it to be “featured” in the place for anyone to drink using few ladles available. Silly me, I asked how did it taste like. I was kind of expecting the answer to be “sweet” or something, but he answered, “it tastes like water”. Of course it does taste like water! He had a sense of humor huh? But in Eureka Spring they have what has been called “Sweet Spring”. At least that was the early townspeople declared their spring water to taste like, having a pleasant and sweet taste. The spring was originally located in the deep ravine below the present site. To locate the spring in a more accessible location, workmen dug into the mountainside above the street, and constructed a stone lined, later limestone, circular enclosure around the spring. Sweet spring and the woods above and below were established to be a Spring Reservation, preserved for public use in perpetuity since 1886.

Emilda would love it. I have never seen a store that carries the largest women’s shoes collections. You can find all kinds of shoes for all events, purposes, styles and convenience. Looking for airport-friendly shoes? Yeah we really need one when we travel and go through the airport security procedures. It would help everybody in line. Shoe-store.net is the site I will buy my shoes because there I can find every style of shoes and sandals I want from the thousands on their stock, from athletic shoes to work boots and shoes.
