There is no sincerer love than the love of food. If I were the sensible man who said it, I’d be George Bernard Shaw. I have less facial hair (at least that’s what you think) and my sensibilities can only stretch as far as good food is concerned. My responsiveness to human touch is stoic but if it’s crispy, tender and aromatic Latin-spiced chicken leg, I’d be very affectionate and would hold tighter. If it were a succulent Wagyu steak drizzled with spicy balsamic glaze, the relationship would probably progress and I’d be digging to its deepest part.
In life, isn’t it amazing the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating? That’s how special food is. It grabs your attention, it nourishes you, it fills you, and sometimes it feels you. Most times in this era, you even take a photo of it and with it, like you are a star-struck fan of a celebrity. The consuming passion for food brings people together… not only does it bring people together, it also gives the inspiration to create. Food inspires to be creative. Such was the case when food-lovin’ cousins Frances and Jamie launched Pink Egg Episodes.
June 29, 2014 was the BIG CHEAT DAY. PS had an extra ticket to Pink Egg Episodes pop-up event and invited me to join him that Sunday. Pop Up events are those that utilize empty shops, buildings, spaces, for one-day-only or short-term events like art exhibitions, temporary restaurants, retail or performances.
Pink Egg Episodes

On its initial public appearance, Pink Egg Episodes featured the very FIRST 100% Mayura Wagyu Burger. Mayura is a brand of full-blood Wagyu beef. Pure Wagyu beef. Think thoroughbred cows from Japan migrating to expansive Australia with its unmixed lineage intact.
Mayura Wagyu stays in a 5-star cow hotel and lays on soft sawdust-cushioned floor listening to relaxing music for a good night’s sleep. Roman rulers being fed with grapes? These cows were being fed Cadbury chocolates and gummy bears. (Top that Roman ruler!) Mayura Wagyu has been awarded globally as the “highest quality beef available.”
The Script, Jason Mraz, Aerosmith and Cascades 2013 Live in Manila CONCERT – where to get tickets!
There are four LIVE concerts in Manila this summer that I am itching to watch…
1. Jason Mraz LIVE in Manila
Ovation Productions and Music Management International brings back American singer-songwriter, Jason Mraz to Manila. I remember watching his concert last year with Toca Rivera with my Victory church friends. That was back in October 2011 and nay even 2 years, and he’s here again. This year, he plays with his band.

2. The Script Live in Manila Concert
On March 31, 2013, The Script returns to Manila as part of their #3 World Tour at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Midas Promotions brings back one of the most loved bands in the world composed of the trio, Danny O’Donoghue, Mark Sheehan and Glen Power.
I also watched the last Script concert in Manila and it was with CW. We both decided to give the Bleachers, also known as General Admission section, a try and experience a concert from that perspective (other than ticket prices are expensive and the seating area we like are already almost sold out). Lo and behold, it was one of the most fun concerts we’ve experienced. We were just chill and we could sing out loud without a care in the world. Money well spent.
