It's More Fun In The Philippines

Because we can't flog our new tourism slogan enough. (Photos from the official It's More Fun in the Philippines website.)

Then there's this:

And since it just goes without saying...

Go Play Your Video Games

You see, kids, when we were your age, our video game consoles were heavy and big, and all of the games came in  these hard plastic containers and we have to plug them in if we want to play. None of those things were connected to the Internet, and all the controllers were connected to the unit, so we didn't have any of those motion-sensitive wireless thingamabobs that you get to use nowadays... 

(...Yeah, yeah, I got on the Lana Del Rey bandwagon a few months too late. She's an oddity to me, but I think that we'll all be wailing to this song like we did with "Someone Like You" by the end of this year. Trust.)

"Dearest Mei: 

I know you love gardens.

Sweet Tofu Action

From Wikipedia:

Tahô is a Philippine snack food made of fresh soft/silken tofu, arnibal (brown sugar and vanilla syrup), and pearl sago (similar to pearl tapioca). This staple comfort food is a signature sweet and can be found all over the country.

Or, in my case, the most perversely awesome breakfast treat known to man.

 Yes, folks, I actually had THIS for breakfast.  

Don't knock it till you've tried it - just ask your Uncle Tony!



Or, better yet, ask these guys!



If you ask me, though, I would pay to watch this guy walk the streets of Manila for a piece of sweet tofu action...



(What, did you really think I was going to put up a Domesticity spinoff without at least one mention of the Smug Canadian Bastard Boyfriend himself? Hell no.)
