Good day fellow noisers. Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday so far. This is my meal for today, grilled pork wraps. I bought grilled sisig and pre-packaged wraps. For those who are not aware,sisig is made of chopped pig cheeks and pig ears and grilled with onions, eggs (mayonnaise if you aren't a purist). I just put some grilled sisig in the middle of the wrap, add my choice of condiments, and I'm done. What is everyone else having today? #foodtrip #foodphotography…

Good evening fellow noisers. Almost 9:00pm here in Manila. My Sunday is almost over and a new work week is about to begin. Of course, I was able to relax and unwind and do my errands today. Among the errands is buying groceries and drinking water. Pictured are teh two grocery bags that I got and the water gallon. Both the grocery and water refilling station are located downstairs so it was very convenient. I was able to buy the groceries for the month and this five-gallon…

This was the scene earlier in the day. The rains caused long traffic jams along EDSA. An office mate of mine who lives down south experienced this first hand. She had been on the road for three hours already and she is nowhere our office. I'm working from home today so I need not brave the rain or the traffic. My officemate decided not to push through going to work and asked if she can stay here at my place and work here instead. Of course, I agreed and waited for her…

Good day fellow noisers. This is what I have been snacking on the past couple of days. It is sweet and spicy seedless tamarind and sweet and spicy dried mango strips. First tasted this in Bangkok and I was more than happy to bring a lot of both home. Was pleasantly surprised when I saw the nearby grocery has these items. Now, I'm looking for sweet and spicy dried guava strips. What have you been snacking on recently? #foodtrip #foodphotography #driedfruits…

Good day fellow noisers and food trippers. Recently, I wrote about having pork sisig wraps. This time around, I had tuna wraps. Been making my own tuna spread. Nothing fancy, just canned tuna and mayonnaise. This time though, instead of just bread or crackers, I use the tuna spread on soft tortillas. Mind-blown! This is the best tuna spread that I have made so far and it was perfect with soft tortillas. This is what I'm having, what else is everyone having today? Have you…

Good day fellow noisers. It was a busy day for me as I had to finish a report presentation due tomorrow. Took a good couple of hours before I was able to finish it. In between doing that, I also did errands. Anyway, it was a long day so decided to reward myself with a good meal. Got my ole' reliable Boston Creme donuts and a box of coffee-flavored inspired donuts as well. Will write separate post about it tomorrow. Of course, my main meal, was a cheeseburger sandwich, a…

Kalamay Sa Latik Good day fellow noisers. My snack yesterday - kalamay. This is my favorite. I drink the sweet syrup which is made of palm sugar. Of course, the kalamay itself is made from sweet glutinous rice. It is usually topped with toasted coconut oil with toasted coconut cream curd called latik. This was actually a gift for me. I had helped someone with some documents and assisted the person with processing some claims of hers. She hails from the province known for…

Finally! Was able to go boxing again yesterday. Went to a gym that also offers boxing. This gym though is known more for their basketball-centric trainings. They also have badminton courts on on certain days, they have a Crossfit group that trains there. My timing is off though plus cardio isn't there like it used to. Later on, will go back and try muay thai. The boxing coach is also a muay thai coach and was a professional fighter before. Just looking to get back into my…

Pasta for my meals today. Both were given by a friend of mine. One was spicy oriental noodles with tofu while the other was pesto. Both were delicious and kept me full for the whole day. What is everyone having today? #Allenwrites #foodtrip #foodphotography #past #spicyorientalnoodles #pesto

Good day fellow noisers. After my boxing session the other day, I was able to follow it up with a muay thai training session. Was happy that I was able to do the kicks and knee strikes. Need to continue training so I can further improve. What is everyone working on so you can improve on it? It could be your work, learning a new language, cooking skills. Chime in the comments below. Also, what's everyone's exercise routine look like? What physical activities are you doing to…

Coins. I'm one of those who always keep my coins at the end of the day. When I was younger, I have a piggy bank. Nowadays, I tape ten pieces of coins of the same denomination - 1 peso, 5 pesos, 10 pesos, and 20 pesos - and then have it changed in either a local store or i deposit it in the bank. This was one tubs that I was able to fill up. In the end, I was able to have these coins exchanged for Php1,500. That's almost US$29. Not bad. Do you do the same? #Allenwrites…

Coffee Bars. Let me start that this isn't a paid post. When I buy donuts from Dunkin' Donuts, I either buy Boston Creme or Choco Honey Dipped. Just those two flavors. I'm glad that I tried their coffee bars - all these flavors are delicious. These are Mocha Latte, Caramel Macchiato, and Espresso. The donuts have a coffee-based flavor and have coffee frosting and coffee toppings. If you are a coffee and donut lover, these donuts are for you. Have you tried these? Will you try…
