The changing face of our hospitality industry
The number of domestic tourists planning to spend more time on holiday in the UK will surge by a third this year, fuelled by millennials looking to escape from their smart phones and social media, according to a new report from Barclays Corporate Banking.
Hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions can expect to enjoy a bumper year as tens of millions of visitors are expected to flock to Britain's coast, countryside and thriving cities like Birmingham, as domestic tourism enjoys something of new golden era.
The research report, The Great British Staycation: the growing attraction of the UK for domestic holidaymakers, surveyed 2,000 domestic tourists and 500 business leaders from the hospitality & leisure industry, and found that staycationers of all ages are planning to enjoy more holiday time at home in 2019.
The 'selfie generation' of 25-34 year-olds are more likely than any other age group to take their main holiday in Britain this year. Over half (52%) of staycationers in this age group said they plan to spend more time in the UK this year, compared to 2018.
Despite being synonymous with living their life on their screens, 70% said that a 'digital detox' would be an important element of their holiday, and an overwhelming majority (91%) cited 'escapism' as the biggest motivation behind their choice of destination.
Rather than being desperate to escape from their families, millennials said that they want to spend time together with loved ones more than any other generation (91%). With locations such as the South West, Scotland, the Lake District, Wales and Yorkshire being amongst the most popular destinations, the findings also suggest that many are yearning to unwind in the beauty of the British countryside.
According to holidaymakers, the main reason for the popularity of staycations is convenience (34%), followed by a desire to revisit places they have been to before (21%). Almost one in five (19%) say holidays in the UK are more affordable, with 18% of respondents choosing a staycation because of concern over the impact that Brexit could have on foreign travel and family finances.
Barclays' report found that businesses are also witnessing increased demand. Over half (55%) of those surveyed said they had seen an increase in domestic tourism since 2017, and two in five (39%) had seen bookings being made further in advance.
In response to the findings, Mike Saul, Head of Hospitality & Leisure at Barclays, said: "It's very encouraging to see that domestic tourism is thriving with more and more UK holidaymakers choosing to spend increasing amounts of their valuable leisure time closer to home. There are various reasons for this but ultimately, it's fairly simple. The top-quality services provided by our hotels, restaurants, resorts and leisure providers are helping the British public enjoy great experiences without having to travel too far. This is true for all ages, but it's particularly pleasing that our study found younger people are being drawn to UK holidays.
"Operators will have to continue to adapt and invest in cutting edge technology to ensure that this trend persists, while at the same time finding innovative ways to appeal to all age groups wanting to enjoy the attraction of the UK."
In the past five years, businesses have focused investment on new technology and new trends such as a desire for quintessentially British experiences.
Almost a third (32%) of businesses have invested in 'nostalgic activities' such as traditional cream teas, pub walks or visits to historical landmarks, and 27% have invested in experiential offerings such as wine tasting or local tours. A much smaller percentage of businesses are investing in health holidays (15%), yoga retreats (8%) or digital detox retreats (7%), which are key motivations for 25-34 year olds to choose a staycation in the UK.
With convenience a key reason for Britons to choose to stay in the UK, businesses have also been investing in digital services that create more seamless user experiences. Of those that have invested, 62% have done so in the last two years. Over a third (36%) say they have introduced free services including smartphone check-in, payment via wearable technology, or location-specific notifications about offers and discounts.
Businesses have invested in new digital services to attract younger visitors (37%), as well as to keep up with current trends (58%) and to better compete with other hospitality and leisure businesses (44%).
Findings showed that different age groups have different preferences when it comes to the type of accommodation that they would choose. The youngest generation, 18-24 year olds prefer independent, Air BnB style services, whereas 25-54 year olds would choose self-catered accommodation such as holiday cottages. Those aged 55 and older preferred a mid-market hotel at the top of their priority list.
Britons clearly think with their stomachs, as just under half (44%) said that hotels that have a high-quality food offer are most likely to sway them to pick a location. Experiences are also important, with 32% saying that curated visits and experiences are the next priority.
Hospitality businesses are already seeing their local economy benefit from increasing demand for domestic holidays. 40% have seen employment opportunities improve, 34% have seen an increase in the number of hospitality businesses in the area. These findings suggest that, with a tailored business strategy, hospitality businesses can not only make the most of rising domestic demand, but also benefit the wider economy in uncertain political times.

## Installation

Grab ng-admin from your favorite package manager, `npm` or `bower`:

```sh
npm install ng-admin --save
# or
bower install ng-admin --save
```

Add the `ng-admin.min.css` and `ng-admin.min.js` to the HTML, add a `<div ui-view>`, and configure the admin:

```html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>My First Admin</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/ng-admin/build/ng-admin.min.css">
  </head>
  <body ng-app="myApp">
    <div ui-view></div>
    <script src="node_modules/ng-admin/build/ng-admin.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ng-admin']);
    myApp.config(['NgAdminConfigurationProvider', function(NgAdminConfigurationProvider) {
        var nga = NgAdminConfigurationProvider;
        // create an admin application
        var admin = nga.application('My First Admin');
        // more configuation here later
        // ...
        // attach the admin application to the DOM and run it
        nga.configure(admin);
    }]);
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
```

## Getting Started

See the [Getting Started](doc/Getting-started.md) dedicated chapter for a step-by-step tutorial aimed at beginners.

## Usage Examples

* You can find a simple configuration in the [blog admin demo](http://ng-admin.marmelab.com/#/dashboard) ([source](examples/blog/config.js)), where the entities are posts, comments, and tags. The remote REST API uses fake data, and is reset every hour.
* The [Posters Galore demo](http://marmelab.com/ng-admin-demo/) ([source](https://github.com/marmelab/ng-admin-demo)) is a more complete example of an e-commerce administration, with custom authentication, pages, directives and modules, all well organized via WebPack. The remote REST API is simulated in the browser, using [FakeRest](https://github.com/marmelab/FakeRest).

## Configuration Reference

An administration in ng-admin is made of one *application* containing several *entities*. Each entity has up to 5 *views*, and each view has many *fields*.

```
application
 |-header
 |-menu
 |-dashboard
 |-entity[]
    |-creationView
    |-editionView
    |-deletionView
    |-showView
    |-listView
        |-field[]
           |-name
           |-type
```

See [Configuration API Reference](doc/Configuration-reference.md) dedicated chapter for more details.

**Tip**: You won't find the related classes in the ng-admin project. In fact, the admin configuration API exists as a standalone, framework-agnostic library, called [admin-config](https://github.com/marmelab/admin-config). Don't hesitate to browse the source of that library to learn more.

## Relationships

ng-admin manages dependencies between entities when you use some special field types.

* Use the `reference` field type to display and edit many-to-one relationships (e.g. the author for a post)
* Use the `referenced_list` field type to display one-to-many relationships (e.g. the posts of an author)
* Use the `reference_many` field type to edit one to many relationships (e.g. the posts of an author)

See the Fields section of the [Configuration API Reference chapter](doc/Configuration-reference.md) for more details.

## Menu Configuration

By default, ng-admin creates a sidebar menu with one entry per entity. If you want to customize this sidebar (labels, icons, order, adding submenus, etc), you have to define menus manually.

See [Menus Configuration](doc/Menus.md) dedicated chapter.

## Dashboard Configuration

The home page of a ng-admin application is called the Dashboard. Use it to show important pieces of information to the end user, such as latest entries, or charts.

See [Dashboard Configuration](doc/Dashboard.md) dedicated chapter.

## Customizing the API Mapping

All HTTP requests made by ng-admin to your REST API are carried out by [Restangular](https://github.com/mgonto/restangular), which is like `$resource` on steroids.

The REST specification doesn't provide enough detail to cover all requirements of an administration GUI. ng-admin makes some assumptions about how your API is designed. All of these assumptions can be overridden by way of [Restangular's request and response interceptors](https://github.com/mgonto/restangular#addresponseinterceptor).

That means you don't need to adapt your API to ng-admin; ng-admin can adapt to any REST API, thanks to the flexibility of Restangular.

See the [Customizing the API Mapping](doc/API-mapping.md) dedicated chapter.

## Theming

You can override pretty much all the HTML generated by ng-admin, at different levels.

See the [Theming](doc/Theming.md) dedicated chapter.

## Adding Custom Pages

For each entity, ng-admin creates the necessary pages for Creating, Retrieving, Updating, and Deleting (CRUD) this entity. When you need to achieve more specific actions on an entity, you have to add a custom page - for instance a page asking for an email address to send a message to. How can you route to a specific page and display it in the ng-admin layout?

See the [Adding Custom Pages](doc/Custom-pages.md) dedicated chapter.

## Adding Custom Types

When you map a field between a REST API response and ng-admin, you give it a type. This type determines how the data is displayed and edited. It is very easy to customize existing ng-admin types and add new ones.

See the [Adding Custom Types](doc/Custom-types.md) dedicated chapter.

## Getting Ready For Production

To build the ng-admin source with the dependencies you need, and to get hints about performance boosters, head to the [Getting Ready For Production](doc/production.md) dedicated chapter.

## News

Follow the [marmelab blog](http://marmelab.com/blog/) for news about ng-admin (tutorials, plugins, new releases, etc).

You should also watch the [ng-admin release page on GitHub](https://github.com/marmelab/ng-admin/releases) for announcements on new releases, and complete changelog.

## Support

Ng-admin is an open-source project, with a community getting larger every  day. You will get help by asking politely in any the following channels:

* [StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/ng-admin)
* [Gitter (live chat)](https://gitter.im/marmelab/ng-admin)

Please give as much context as possible, including and admin configuration snippet, and the response from the API you're mapping.

## Contributing

Your feedback about the usage of ng-admin in your specific context is valuable, don't hesitate to [open GitHub Issues](https://github.com/marmelab/ng-admin/issues) for any problem or question you may have.

All contributions are welcome: please send us a Pull Request for any new feature / bug fix in your fork that you consider worth giving back.

Also, if you have some experience with ng-admin, please answer questions from newcomers in any of the support channels (see above).

### Installing Dependencies

Install npm dependencies (for tests) by calling the `install` target:

```sh
make install
```

### Running the example app

To test your changes, run the example app, which is bundled with a sample REST api, by calling:

```sh
make run
```

Then, connect to `http://localhost:8000/` to browse the admin app. This task uses webpack-dev-server, which means that the browser will reload the page as soon as one file in the source is updated. This makes the blog app our preferred live testing environment.

### Testing

ng-admin has unit tests (powered by karma) and end to end tests (powered by protractor). Launch the entire tests suite by calling:

```sh
make test
```

**Tip:** If you are working on Karma tests, you can prevent from relaunching the whole process by disabling single-run:

```
KARMA_SINGLE_RUN=false ./node_modules/.bin/grunt karma:unit
```

### Releasing

Before releasing a new version, concatenate and minify the JS and CSS sources into minified scripts with:

```sh
make build
git add build
git commit -m 'update built files'
git push origin master
git tag vx.x.x
# publish to bower
git push origin --tags
# publish to npm
npm publish
```

**Tip**: Don't commit built files in Pull Requests, it forces rebases on other PRs. The core team will take care of regularily updating these built files.

## License

no electricity in san marcos right now. power up as long as possible, water off at 7pm tonight
call nemo at 226 3695 they are there 24-7
Re: Utility issues [Re: Marty] #245772
SanPedro
So no set time for electricity to be cut off?
Change your Latitude
Re: Utility issues [Re: shuffles] #245797
correct. they will take it as far as they can
I was just talking with SP and power went down about 5 minutes ago.
back up again
Belize is currently generating all its electrical energy as BEL lost
its feed from Comision Federal de Electricidad. BEL Ceo Lyn Young
reported earlier today that the two CEF transmission lines from Merida
into Quintana Roo are down, so no hope of Mexican juice for a while.
Power is back in our part of San Pedro. (south) We expect it to come and go.
Re: Utility issues [Re: collyk] #246908
I understand Belmopan is the only major population center that can
supply its own energy from diesel gensets independent of the national
grid. All other towns' diesel generating capacity has been
cannibalised or allowed to degrade to nothing. CC is on diesel only
but it is a village, and when the gensets go out
to sea, there is no backup.
But today showed something interesting. If the distribution system
flakes out, it takes down the entire grid. Coro and O.W. went down
under Dean. Blackout countrywide. Up again. Gas turbine went down,
nationwide blackout again. Then BEL warns, "...if we try to bring up
Coro and the transmission in that area fails, the entire grid goes
down again." Why?
P.S. The roads are fine - its dealing with bumper to bumper traffic
and drivers on alcohol, drugs and just plain stupid than I cannot
handle.
power just on again this morning after another 4 hours off........
BEL Completes Preliminary Assessment of Damages to Power Supply
System and Commences Restoration Efforts
Belize Electricity Limited (BEL) has completed a partial assessment of its power supply
system in northern Belize following the impact of Hurricane Dean to the area and has
commenced service restoration efforts.
As of 5:30 p.m. today, power has been fully restored to Caye Caulker.
In San Pedro Town, BEL has restored service to approximately 50 per cent of the island.
BEL should complete service restoration works in those areas up to Boca Del Rio by
Thursday and up to San Pedro North by the end of next week.
In Orange Walk Town and surrounding areas, the substation should be energized by
tomorrow which will allow BEL to initiate service restoration to sections of the area.
Complete service restoration should be by mid-next week.
The system in Corozal Town and surrounding areas received the most damages and BEL
expects to complete repairs and restore service to the area within two weeks.
Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) has reported to BEL that the transmission line,
which feeds power to Belize, suffered significant damages. Consequently, BEL has lost
power supply from CFE and is now awaiting information from the Mexican utility on when
it plans to reconnect to Belize.
Belize Electricity Limited
2 ½ Miles Northern Highway
Corporate Tel.: 227-0954
Website: www.bel.com.bz
Even with the loss of the CFE power supply, BEL has sufficient in-country generation
sources to meet Belize's power demand for up to one month, providing the Chalillo and
Mollejon hydroelectric facilities, Hydro Maya and Gas Turbine Unit all remain operational.
As the restoration works progress, there may be short outages in other parts of the
country. BEL will provide updated information as needed.
With the hurricane now passed, BEL reminds residents in the northern districts of the following the safety tips:
• Report all fallen and/or broken lines or poles to BEL.
• Do not go near to and/or touch fallen or broken electric lines or poles.
• Do not attempt to remove any branches or other objects which may have fallen on the
power lines or poles.
• Never raise any tall object near a power line. Carry it level with the ground and be
cautious when removing water pipes and well casings
• Do not use electrical appliances that have been wet. Water can damage the motors in
electrical appliances, such as freezers, refrigerators, washing machines and dryers.
For more information, please contact BEL as 0800-BEL-CARE or (0800-235-2273).
UTILITY COMPANIES WORK ON RESTORING SERVICE TO NORTHERN BELIZE
With the passage of Hurricane Dean, utilities went down to varying degrees. While communities in the Corozal and Orange Walk Districts recuperate from the storm, some of the vital necessities are still down such as water, electricity and telecommunication. Electricity continues to be a major problem in most of the northern part of the country. We spoke with Manager of Cooperate Communications at Belize Electricity Limited Dawn Sampson who told us that it will be two weeks before the entire north of Belize is back to normal.
Dawn Sampson:Manager of Cooperate Communication BEL
"Well we are pleased to report that as of today that we have 90% of San Pedro back and 90% of our customers are now receiving power.Our crews are out there working very hard to restore service as soon as possible.The area that remains without power is north San Pedro and the primary reason for that is because of it's difficult to access the area but like I said,the guys out there are working and we're hoping to completely restore service to the island in two weeks.Now for Orange Walk,we were able to energize the substation last night which means we were able to restore service to approximately 10% of our customers.Again our work crews are in the area working to restore service to that area completely by the middle of next week.For Corozal,that was the area's hardest hit and we have our work crews from Belize City out that side assisting with in Corozal and we're hoping to fully restore power to Corozal within two weeks.As of this moment we have about 10% of our customers receiving power in Orange Walk.We have the work crew out that side working specifically in the Orange Walk area and we should be able to restore power to Orange Walk fully by the middle of next week."
At 5:30 this morning power was fully restored in Caye Caulker. Comision Federal de Electricidad has reported to BEL that the transmission line which feeds power to Belize suffered significant damages. As a result BEL has lost power supply from CFE and is now awaiting information from the Mexican utility company on when it plans to reconnect to Belize. According to BEL the company has sufficient in-country generation sources to meet the power demand for up to one month. Due to extended outages the northern districts continue experiencing interruptions of water supply. However, Ivan Tesecum of Belize Water Services Limited assures the people of the north that the water supply is being addressed immediately.
Ivan Tesecum of Belize Water Services Limited
"In Orange Walk,water was restored yesterday afternoon,however,due to electrical outages we experiences difficulties.Presently we have crews deployed to Orange Walk and Corozal.In Orange Walk specifically,we have a team installing a generator set to facilitate distribution.They should have water back up later today.In the Corozal district,water has been turned on but presently,only a portion of the customers have water services.Crews are presently working on restoring water to the remaining customers that do not have water services.So they should also have water on some time later today.There may be some customers who have received some damages to their service lines to they may also have water problems so we have crews that are also looking in the areas and fixing these damages.In all,we have teams that have been deployed already to both Corozal and Orange Walk to try to bring the water supply back to normal."
Arturo Cantun:Love FM
"What is the problem?Is the problem broken pipes or is it the outages?"
"Some of them can be attributed to the extended electrical outages,others will be just the customer lines that we're broken due to the force of the winds.Most customers in Orange Walk are experiencing water shortages.In Corozal I would say about 50%-60% have water services and the remainding 40% or a little bit less should be getting water back on this week or later this afternoon."
"Ok.What is the quality of the water?Because we've had some reports about the water being dirty."
"Ok.What happens when broken pipes do occur,the dirt does get into the water lines so those are being flushed out as well,however,this is only temporary because all the water is treated as well coming from the plant.So we ask our customers to please be vigilant about it as well and report it as well because there could be other factors but certainly the water has been treated and our customers can feel safe about it.They need to keep running the lines until the water gets clear."
BWSL asks its customers to be patient and asks them to report any broken water lines to their toll free hotline number, 0-800-297-5325.
Another company that was affected by power outages was SpeedNet. This morning Marketing Analyst, Linda Carballo told us that even though the company's service was down during the hurricane the company is up and trying to restore normalcy.
Linda Carballo:SpeedNet Marketing Analyst
"We have been experiencing some difficulties due to the electrical outages caused by Hurricane Dean.We would like to assure you that our staff is working to its full capacity to ensure communication stabilizes in the northern region during this time of emergency.The service in Orange Walk is stable and Corozal will also be functioning by this afternoon."
"What is the extent of the damage?"
"The damages are mainly caused by the electrical shortages due to power.So then Orange Walk is stable and then we're working on Corozal since Corozal doesn't have any electricity at the time.But our staff is already there,working to ensure that these are up by this afternoon so that the people of Corozal will be able to get in contact with their family and their friends.The towers are fully in tact and only problem that we have been experiencing are due to the power failure in the northern region."
In a press release BTL says the company has suffered from the passage of Hurricane Dean. However the network held up extremely well during the course of Hurricane Dean including the primary links to San Pedro and Caye Caulker, the nations GSM network and the telephone exchanges. The effects of Hurricane Dean in Mexico are also impacting communication in Belize as a cable carrying a portion of Telemedia's internet and voice service has apparently been damaged. This will cause congestion and some slower speeds during peak hours. The company also says that the restoration of damaged poles by BEL will enable Telemedia to repair and replace damaged overhead cables which in turn will enable the full restoration of fix lines and other services. BTL has also deployed a number of mobile generators in key locations and are working closely with BEL to intensify and resolve the problems at the earliest opportunity.

According to the ESPN.com's rumor department, there are roughly 4 to 5 teams that could be competing for Washburn's services before the trade deadline. I can't wait to see how the Mariner's screw this up.
Unfortunately the Tacoma Rainers and Everett AquaSox are two of the interested teams.
If you take a look at theonion.com's sports section, they've made fun of the Mariners once again. That's like 3 times in the last couple months. Which is funny because it's way more press than a Seattle team usually gets.

We have been there last February for our Community Immersion Program. And it was really a big break from the busy life here in Metro Manila. It sort of showed me how the food on our tables look when they are still living. :) I have taken these photos as a remembrance in our short vacation in Silang, Cavite.
Best Food Forward in Global City! Mini Giveaway!
With the culinary revolution in the Philippines becoming more and more sizzling by the minute, Filipino Food Entrepreneurs organized an event called Best Food Forward to give new entrepreneurs much needed exposure for their businesses, as well as to further promote the long standing quality of food produced by well known food companies. They will all be under one roof at the NBC Tent in Bonifacio Global City on April 2 and 3, 2011.
Which brings me to the three complimentary passes for two (each!) on the photo above. Imagine my delight when Alex handed me five of these tickets. Each complimentary pass is equivalent to the entry of two people already to the summer food fair, Best Food Forward. One would have to go to Alex and I, and another for my sister and her boyfriend. So that leaves me three tickets, and my friends are all too busy and couldn't make it.
You know all these products and gimmicks coming up when Filipinos have been addicted to Koreanovelas and Korean music? I have been seeing a lot of bright colors and new cuisines around the metro. I thought it stopped a few months ago, but apparently, it never did.
We passed by Magic Pop in Southmall on our way to the supermarket. I was quite amused by the flying rice crisps being thrown in a glass corner by a large machine. I bought a bag of plain ones, thinking that I need something light, but there are more flavors in the deli pop section such as cheese and chocolate, among others. The ingredients are listed as brown rice, wheat flour, corn, salt, soybean oil, and sweetener. The taste is somewhat sweet-salty.
My sister didn't like the plain ones, but she did say that she buys the cheese deli pops and that they are delicious. Watch out for carbs! The summer season is almost here, and these babies are quite addictive.
The plain ones are perfect for any dip, be it sweet or savory. It's a light snack that can keep you going!
I'm really fond of eating saba bananas, and I remember my grandmother frying them up as maruya (banana fritters), turon (sweet banana spring rolls), or breakfast bananas, thinly sliced and fried, sprinkled with sugar or served with cereals. Determined as I was to stop Alex from buying all the darned junk foods in our school cafeteria, I brought breakfast bananas so that he won't be tempted to eat his favorite chips during the morning break. It turns out that he loves bananas as much as I do.
With the addition of blueberry preserve and cinnamon instead of the usual sugar or maple syrup, he was full and hyper enough tp stay away from the junk food section. I'm wondering why schools don't ban junk foods from their cafeterias and canteens despite teaching the students the bad effects of eating them. They should have come up with something by now.
2. Layer the banana slices in the pan and fry until lightly browned. Flip and cook until both sides are well-cooked and lightly browned.
3. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with cinnamon powder.
4. Top with blueberry preserve.
5. Best served warm with toast or cereals.
Before I started cooking, I watched a ton of cooking shows in the Lifestyle Network. I was especially fond of Jamie Oliver's show, The Naked Chef. He makes cooking seem like a lot of fun, not focusing too much on those stiffly decorated gourmet-style garnished dishes, but on the rustic side of it which made old-style cooking so much more favorable.
What I remember most from his show was that he has a nice garden, from which he takes wonderful herbs to use in cooking or to dry for storage. Deeply inspired, I bought a lot of dried herbs from the supermarket. And I remember the very first dish I cooked with them. Creamy scrambled eggs with tomato, basil, and pepper. The dried basil definitely upped this really simple dish and blended wonderfully with the half-cooked tomatoes and pepper-infused milk. The result: soft and creamy herbed eggs best served with a piece or two of sausage. I cooked this for an early breakfast last Sunday, and it was just gorgeous.
Combine milk, pepper, basil, and eggs. Beat lightly with a fork.
Add the garlic and tomato and sauté well.
Pour the egg mixture all at once and mix lightly with a spoon, making sure that no part becomes browned at the bottom.
Cook until set but still soft and creamy.
Serve hot with fried rice and breakfast sausages.
I remember asking my lola the name of the ugly fruit she was holding at the kitchen almost a decade ago. She said it was kakao, which is what chocolates are made of. I found it extremely hard to believe at that age, but I watched her cut the fruit open, wash the seeds and dry them in the terrible heat of the sun. After which she brought it to the local market to have it ground. She came back with oily black round tablets she called tableas.
At that point, she never convinced me that it was chocolate. My mom used to buy me tons of imported chocolate and it looks nothing like them at all. But she made champorado (chocolate rice porridge) with the tableas, and it was really delicious.
In a recent trip to Binondo, I dragged Alex around the street of Ongpin in hopes of finding the stairs stall which sells La Resurrecion tableas, which were the ones mom used to buy for us. I didn't find the stall on the stairs, but I did find the famous tableas in Eng Bee Tin's grocery in the same street. It was just as good as these tableas from Zamboanga, but La Resurrecion tableas melt more easily than the ones from Zamboanga. They say it has something to do with the quality and pureness of the tableas, but I really don't have any idea about that.
I remember my days as an primary school student. I was still the youngest then, and I can get away with eating nothing but cereals drenched in cold, fresh milk from the numerous boxes in our cupboard. I was most especially fond of the mini toys I can get for free with every box. And the milk just had to be Cowhead's fresh milk. I don't know why but I never really liked other brands, even if my mom claims that they all taste the same.
What surprised me was that nowadays they have expanded their business. My sister brought home a box of Black Cocoa Biscuits which she bought at Duty Free, so I was a bit disappointed with the long trip just to buy a box of these goodies. It seemed like some ordinary cookie sandwich at first, but it was quite addictive. The filling is really creamy, and it complements the bittersweet cocoa biscuit well. Sort of reminds me of my childhood.
I have been guilty of playing with the ingredients in our kitchen today. Somehow waiting for our graduation day has been extremely tiresome especially when you have to listen to some lecturer for eight whole hours at school. And I give credit for that for not being able to grasp any inspiration to cook at all. So I made meatballs, in a sauce I like to call white gravy.
Combine all the ingredients for the meatballs. Add more breadcrumbs if necessary.
Form mixture into balls, preferably 1 to 2 inches in size.
Fry the meatballs until golden brown or slightly charred on the outside. Set aside.
Melt the butter into a pan and caramelize onions.
Pour in the milk. Add the dried basil leaves and simmer for 2 minutes under low heat.
Add salt and pepper and adjust to taste, depending on how sweet or how salty you want the gravy to be.
Add the cornstarch slurry and let simmer for another three minutes, or until thickened.
Arrange meatballs onto platter and drizzle lavishly with gravy. Sprinkle with chopped carrots.
We went for a late lunch over at Don Henrico's in Ermita before going to the movies. It's located outside Midtown, and it's a lot more peaceful in here than the restaurants inside the mall, which were bustling with hungry people at the moment.
Upon scanning the menu, Alex ordered a big pan of their Buffalo Chicken Pizza, and a big platter of large, crisp onion rings, together with iced tea. The onion rings were crisp and juicy as always, and the pizza was really saucy and cheesy. What I like about it best was that the flavors were really going together quite well. There's no overwhelming taste, and the cucumber slices provided just the right amount of sweet-tartness that complemented the buffalo chicken sauce's sweet-spicy taste.
Feed Homeless Children With Your Spare Change!
Yes, the Lenten season is almost here, and from what I can see, I haven't really given back to charity much aside from donations of clothes, books, and toys during the holiday seasons or whenever a calamity struck. It really is painful for me seeing young children begging for food at the streets, most especially when they are looking at us through the clear glass windows of the food establishment we are eating at, only to be driven away by the security guards at some jerk's request.
So I am inviting you to actually make an account over at www.WeFeedback.org, where you can calculate all you want and choose whether you'll be donating or not. I made my choice to give, and I hope you will too.
Alex and I were both having seafood cravings while strolling around Midtown and looking for new stuff to buy. Which made Superbowl's seafood dishes so welcoming when the waiter placed the hot, steaming dishes on our table.
The roast jellyfish was slightly sea-salty and chewy, cooked just right. It's perfect with century eggs. I liked it, but we didn't get to finish it since it tasted bland after we started eating the curry. Something to do with adaptive taste.

Lizard Vision, 2019
Holographic projection, 3D printed objects on textile and film, 180 x 50 x 130 cm
Lizard Vision (2019) is a work that explores ideas around machine vision. The Lizards are seen as symbols for the other – the non-human and machinic gaze. With the use of holographic projection and 3D printed models, the work hints at the porosity of digital objects and the possibility to 'enter' them in digital space. Swapping form for terrain, the lizards are taken as a metaphor for the possibilities of machine vision to look within structures and to map out cavernous spaces that are out of reach before the technology, offering a new way of looking at art.

Lizard Vision was shown as part of Life & Beyond, a group exhibition at the Lewisham Arthouse in London, UK
