Let us all pray for those severely affected by the earthquake, tsunami
and this nuclear/radioactivity spill threat in Japan.

November 27-28, 2009 is no longer a national/regular holiday. Malacañang has issued Proclamation No. 1808-A on October 26, 2009 declaring Feast of Eid’l Adha as Regional Holiday in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao only. This means business as usual in Metro Manila.
People in the Metro who have booked flights/vacation on that supposedly long weekend holiday must be really upset with the holiday “retraction” in Metro Manila. Businessmen must be pretty pleased about it (quite understandable). I almost booked a flight.

(I know someone who works in Singapore and is coming home that weekend to spend time with family during the long holiday in Manila, only to find out that they are supposed to go to work.)
“We apologize for those who have been inconvenienced by the change. Trade Secretary [Peter] Favila and the Department of Trade and Industry appealed for the change in behalf of the business community to limit the nonworking holiday to the ARMM because of the number of holidays declared for November plus the fact that we are still recovering from the twin tragedies of Ondoy and Pepeng that hit Metro Manila and Luzon,” Remonde

Between Bites is a FOOD, TRAVEL, and LIFESTYLE BLOG that AWAKENS an appetite for the GOOD LIFE.
LIVE a HAPPY, VIBRANT, POSITIVE LIFESTYLE!
GET a BITE of FOOD, TRAVEL, gadgets, ADVENTURE, culture, hip trends, music, movie, sports, poker, reading, FASHION, and EVENTS happening in and out of the Philippines.
Eating is a continuous event but in the spaces in between, my time is spent taking photos, traveling, dancing, hitting my drums, having fun, tinkering with the latest gadgets, conversing, writing, boxing, LOVING the people around me, LEARNING a thing or two, and PEDDLING HAPPY DREAMS.
I am…
Animated.
A glam ghost and the biggest dork
A ghetto queen, a jack of all trades
A revival, a reinvention, a rarity, a simplicity and complexity
I am a lover of JESUS!, food, dance, music, rain...
I have my own concoctions you can’t resist
–Magellan needed to discover
I LOVE the heat of the sun on my skin
And the wind blowing my hair
I LOVE wild laughter.
I LOVE making adventures out of the routine
I LOVE the lowest and highest points of my life
I want to build gardens of sunrise and sunsets
I move to the beat of rhythms and base. RnB.
I move to the beat of LIFE.
I move to the beat of LOVE.
I’m every inch human.
