Can you believe I haven’t blogged about my trip to Spain last year? I can’t either. I’ve posted photos here and there and some videos on a few posts but other than those, I haven’t published a full entry on it. I’ve been trying to find a nice, quiet time in front of my laptop to relive the experience and write about it but other things get in the way. But dear readers, it’s coming soon alongside my series on Korea.

When I returned to Manila, I started missing Spanish cuisine and craved for good tapas like the ones I had there that made me forget burning a hole in my wallet. I began a hunt for good tapas bars in Manila but in August 2011, there were still few and far between. I’m happy to report now that there are more tapas bars that have opened since then.
Peek at Beso Dishes
During a recent holiday, Bubba brought me to Beso Cucina Venotika at the Fort. The Bonifacio High Central is becoming the hot zone at the Fort with its slate of trendy and upscale restaurants. I’ve visited 4-5 restaurants in the area and no disappointments so far. I also welcome that it’s not as stuffy as the inside streets of Makati / Ortigas or in the malls. I enjoy the breezy landscape of the whole block.

For the Love of Barbecue at ‘Cue Modern Barbecue
The dimly lit Beso Restaurant feels like a posh stylish bar, with its best sexy accessory being the stylish crowd that flock the restaurant and its modern interiors. Or so I thought, until the dishes arrived.
On the Table
Spiced Pork Meatballs in Tomato Sauce Php 195
The meatballs were quite tasty punching different aspects of flavor, from salty to a shade of spice to crumbly pork texture and some garlicky component that’s balanced off with the fresh and hearty tomato sauce. I’d order this again next time.

The Appren-tease in Jesse James Blindsided Sandra Bullock
I really liked Apprentice Celebrity Season 1 a lot and loved the clever Piers Morgan and his biting (but objective) tongue in it. I caught several reruns of Apprentice Celebrity Season 2 and was intrigued by it despite not having as many strategic players as the first one. Jesse James, 40, had a cool stance during the whole season and maintained his stand on not using his wife’s connections to get more money for their team projects.
Sandra Bullock, 45, was freshly minted with the coveted Oscar best actress awards several weeks back. Nowadays, she’s back in the limelight but not for her acting chops in Blind Side, but because of Jesse James’ infidelity. Not only with one woman –but with FOUR others.
The news broke when Michelle McGee told In Touch, she and James had unprotected sex once a week during their 11-month romance. Soon after, more women came out dishing about their affairs with James.
Sandra Bullock broke her silence to People Magazine and denied reports that there’s a sex tape with her and husband Jesse in it. “There is no sex tape. There never has been one and there never will be one.” Other than that statement, Bullock has remained quiet about her current relationship status with James. Many speculate that she will file for a divorce.
Meanwhile, Jesse James also denied Internet rumors of a sex tape. He said in a statement, “There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way. This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.”
His lawyer reports that James is struggling to get back into Sandra’s good graces. “When all is said and done, he wants the same people who were living in his house before all this happened to still be living there,” his attorney, Joe Yanny, said in a statement Monday. “And he wants to save his marriage with the woman he loves more than anything in his life.”
Ricky Martin is Gay
After so many years of keeping his personal life private, Latin pop star Ricky Martin admits in his book that he is gay. In his official Website, Martin says that writing his memoir and his twins are what made him go public about his homosexuality.
“I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.” I think not a lot of people were surprised but it’s still a brave thing to come out in the open.
So Mr. PJ, when are you writing your book? 🙂
