My Say to "I'd Rather Go Hungry" Girl

<p>Have you read the article "I Would Rather Go Hungry Than Eat Filipino Street Food Again? This is a review written by a travel blogger from Poland, Agness Walewinder. According to her website, Etramping.com is about travelling the world for less than $25 a day.<br />
<br />
Many filipino netizens react negatively after reading the review. Personally, it did pisses me off not only with the one who wrote it but also to my fellow Filipino who had been asked  for a traditional breakfast and gave them a bunch of fruits, coffee and cakes filled with jam? seriously? Im just a normal Filipino but I never had an apple or banana for breakfast, maybe after eating my 'traditional breakfast' but not right after waking up. That is if she really asked someone for a traditional breakfast.<br />
<br />
If you will ask me or any other Pinoy for a Filipino traditional breakfast, there some that will instantly pop in my head. Pandesal, Tuyo, Tinapa, Tapsilog or any meat that you like to mix with fried rice and egg. She probably ask a wrong person and eat in wrong places.<br />
<br />
She also mentioned that she suffered a lot of illness while staying in the Philippines like massive migraine, diarrhea, dizziness, mood swing and feeling tired. Take note, she's a travel blogger, she travels a lot. Blaming the food for having PMS?<br />

<br />
She posted a photo of a hot-dog sandwich which I'm pretty sure that is been bought in a convenience store. Filipino are not stupid to not know the difference between a hot-dog and longganisa. Making up a story? I think so.<br />
<br />
Using my country to bring to attention to her blog is pathetic. After she received lot of comments and traffic on her previous post "Impression of Philippines" and realizing how proud and sensitive Filipino are. she take an advantage of it by criticizing the "traditional food".<br />
<br />
I feel sorry for her for not having the best food in the country, or maybe she had but decided not to write a review about it because it will be a lot better traffic for her blog if she criticize it.</p>

<li>Though graduation is the end of all your work and practiced skills, it is another beginning of dealing with the corporate world or the world you are to work what you learned.</li>
<br />
<li>Common scenario is you will miss school. It’s a regret to rush your life as a student. Take time to live as a single-happy-living now. Still wait for the right time in everything.</li>
<br />
<li>It’s not as easy to grab a job especially when you are getting opportunities on peak seasons. We can say that you are in a game of 1 vs 100. Waiting game is also essential here. Don’t just grab jobs just for salary. Aim for what you are passionate about.</li>
<br />
<li>Your life would be tougher now. Considerations like in school are not possible anymore.Yet, be kind and also be competitive.</li>
<br />
<li>It will not only be you. We know you want to solo your salary. But then again, let us not forget our parents or whoever who have supported us in our academic journey. We can help them in any way as possible.</li>
<br />
<li>Your life is now at stake-and we mean your expense will not be from parents. Maybe at first, it would be hard to manage your own salary. But then again, like in school you should learn how to prioritize.  There are things that you should buy now and buy later.</li>
<br />
<li>The greatest perks would be having a treat from a great hard work. Worth waiting. ^_^</li>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Be ready to put on a few extra pounds as you satisfy your cravings by indulging in a Filipino feast. Dishes to try: Lechon, spit-roast whole pig served with liver sauce; Adobo, pork, chicken or a combination of both, marinated in vinegar, soy sauce and garlic and stewed until tender; Kare-kare, meat and vegetables cooked with peanut sauce served with shrimp paste; Sinigang, pork, or seafood in tamarind soup; or the freshest seafoods— fish, squid, shrimp, lobsters— grilled to perfection. The more adventurous should try Balut or boiled duck eggs containing a partially formed embryo, and Dinuguan, the pork blood stew eaten with steamed rice or Puto, rice cakes. All around the country, there are restaurants offering different cuisines from American to Chinese, from Indian to Greek, from Japanese to French.</span></span></div>

Most shopping places or Malls in Manila, Makati, Cebu and Davao virtually have everything that you will need— from designer western brands to items specifically designed for the tourist market. Around the country, specifically in city centers, Tiangges or the Filipino version of flea markets abound offering quality items at bargain prices. In Manila shop at the third largest mall in the world Mall of Asia, Robinson Place, Balikbayan Handicrafts, Tutuban Center Mall and at the San Andres Market (for fresh fruits and other produce). In Makati and its surrounding areas, shop at Greenbelt, Glorietta, Landmark Department Store, Greenhills Shopping Center, Megamall, Shangri-La Mall and at Tiendecitas. In Cebu, check out the Ayala Center, the Gaisano Malls, Robinson’s Place, SM City, and for native delicacies, fresh produce and fresh and dried seafood, go to the Carbon and Tabo-an Markets. In Davao, shop at Aldevinco Shopping Center (for fabrics, batik, carvings) Victoria Plaza, Gaisano Mall and at the New City Commercial Center department store. </span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">An experience not to be missed in flea market-shopping in the Philippines is the ”bargaining” where shoppers can buy items with big discount, depending on charm and good bargaining skills.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">hilippine culture is best experienced in events and activities that highlight what Filipinos are passionate about— faith, love for country, family, beautiful women, and celebrations. Filipinos love to celebrate, and there is no better way of celebrating than by having festivals: Ati-atihan in Kalibo, Aklan, January, the best and biggest in the country, it commemorates the feast of the Sto Nino with a week-long street party. Groups of dancers dressed as the aboriginal Atis, representing different communities from the city participate in the festive weeklong street party that highlights during the feast of the patron saint; Pahiyas in Lucban, Quezon. May 15, the annual harvest festival and feast of San Isidro Labrador. Witness the colourful display of kiping and other thanksgiving offerings hung in the houses that line the street where the procession of the image of the patron saint will pass. Giant papier-mache effigies join the parade to add to the spectacle of a celebration; Masskara Festival in Bacolod City, October, coinciding with the city’s charter day celebration, the festival features carnivals, fairs and a mardi gras-style parade by costumed and masked street dancers. There are as many festivals as there are towns in the Philippines and when you attend and enjoy a Filipino celebration, you come closer to understanding the culture of the people. </span></span></div>

Every major city of the country has a number of nightlife activity hubs with restaurants, cafes, bars, clubs and karaoke bars all promising a good time of fun and entertainment. In the country’s financial district Makati, there is the Greenbelt, Glorietta, The Fort, Jupiter St. and J. P. Rizal Street. In the city’s capital, Manila, nightlife is diverse. There is something for everybody in Malate, and in the newly revitalized Roxas Boulevard and its Baywalk. Quezon City is a popular destination of locals as the club prices are a little lower than those in Makati. Most clubs are close to each other so common to bar hop. Try the establishments along Timog & Tomas Morato Avenues and Quezon Boulevard, and in Eastwood City in Libis. Outside of Metro Manila, there are a number of popular places to go to. The nightlife of Subic in the province of Zambales, is known all over the world because of its history as a former rest and recreation center of the US Navy. The city is still teeming with nightlife activities as the Subic Free Trade Port is home to a lot of expatriates from other foreign countries as well and it is now a major Tourist hub. Foreign Navies still use the port as a rest and recreation spot every now and then. Check out Subic International Hotel and the Magsaysay Blvd. Angeles City in Pampanga, formerly the home of the US Air force in the Pacific, is also known for its Angeles City nightlife stayed almost the same as a lot of retired US and Australian citizens decided to make Angeles City their second home. Establishments in Balibago are still popular. The central Philippine city of Cebu is a popular destination among tourists because its nightlife is at par if not better than in Metro-Manila. Big development companies have opened up operations in the city as well as major club chain operators have set up their presence. Be sure to go to Ayala Mall and in the different establishments that abound Osmena Blvd. The ultimate island-nightlife location in the Philippines is Boracay Island in the province of Aklan. The island is known for its carefree attitude, and the island is home to a lot of clubs and bars on the beach: Bazzura, Hey Jude, D’ Mall, and the Station 2 establishments.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Makati City, known as the financial center of the Philippines, can now boast another distinction: It is the Selfie Capital of the World.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">An examination of hundreds of thousands of selfies—the low-fi, self-shot photographs that are <a href="http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2014/03/07/millennials-in-adulthood/sdt-next-america-03-07-2014-0-04/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(24, 12, 12, 0.247059); box-sizing: border-box; color: #0c97d2; text-decoration: none;">intensely popular</a> among younger social media users—suggests<span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5em;"> that the city, part of metropolitan Manila and home to 500,000 people, produces more selfies per capita than any other city in the world.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">To investigate the geography of selfie-taking, TIME built a database of more than 400,000 Instagram photos tagged “selfie” that included geographic coordinates. In total, we ranked 459 cities to determine the selfiest places on earth - <a href="http://time.com/selfies-cities-world-rankings/"><span style="color: blue;">Time.com</span></a></span></blockquote>

During that time, 402,197 Instagram photos tagged “selfie” that included geographic coordinates. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 26.880001068115234px;">For every city in the world of at least 250,000 residents, we then counted the number of selfies taken within 5 miles and divided by the population of that city.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Also, according to to <a href="http://time.com/author/chris-wilson/"><span style="color: blue;">Chris Wilson</span></a> not all photos tagged as selfie are in fact selfies. They ran a test in their database using <i>out-of-the-box facial detection </i>and found out that the majority of photos were of a single person. Added by Wilson Photos were matched to cities using a simple "nearest neighbor" algorithm that found the nearest city with atleast 250,000 residents.</span><br />

Burot Beach - Calatagan Batangas

<p><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are planning to go to a beach this summer and like a little bit of challenge, Burot Beach is the place for you. Known as Elizalde Beach before, but was recently bought by SMDC.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Why a little bit of challenge? If you are into beach camping this is the right place. Quiet and not so crowded.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Burot Beach is not yet developed and still unknown to many, you cannot find hotels or any accommodation here so bring your tents. There is a store that you can rent tents and buy other supplies but expect a higher price, it is better to bring all the things you need. The place still don't have electricity, so don't forget bring flashlights. There are also no restaurants or fast food here, you can bring gas stove or set up a bonfire to cook your foods, it is easy to find dried leaves and twigs in the area. and don't forget to bring drinking water.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
The comfort rooms is a challenged too, they don't have enough personnel to maintain the cleanliness of that place, I can only see few caretakers there, I hope this year get better<span style="text-align: center;">. This is the only thing I didn't like in Burot, but I love the most of it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are a lot of outdoor activities here like boat riding, island hopping and snorkeling, the sand is not so white compared to Boracay but mix of white and brown sands, the place is so peaceful and the sea is so clear and blue.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We rented a jeep in our way to Burot, but if you are planning to commute, you can ride a bus going to Calatagan </span> in BSC Bus Station in Pasay<span style="font-family: inherit;"> which cost P290. The last stop is at Calatagan Terminal, from there you can ride a tricycle going to the beach. Most of the tricycle will charge you from P60 - P80 pesos per head, the place is not yet developed so expect a bumpy and dusty ride. There is an entrance fee of P120 for an overnight stay.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The place is a paradise, the beach is still accessible for everyone. If you are planning to go here make it soon before the SM develop the place and spend more just to experience the beauty of the beach.</span> </div>
