    Google just launched a unified messaging service simply called Hangouts.  This a lot different from the Hangouts feature on Google+, which only involved video chat.  Hangouts is essentially a messaging app the same way Facebook Messenger is, but it has more features.  It replaces Google Talk, Google+ Messenger, and the original Google+ Hangout service.  Hangouts is available now for download on Android, iOS, Gmail and Chrome through a web extension. In Hangouts, conversations are similar to a chat room, each with its own name.  These can then be separated by images or Google’s new…

    Cebuano is a widely used dialect in the Philippines, mostly in the Visayas and Mindanao regions.  For people in Luzon, it’s a dialect that’s hard to learn and understand but that should somehow change with the addition of Cebuano in the list of dialects available for translation in the Google Translate service. A lot of people use Google Translate to translate languages and dialects and the addition of Cebuano as a supported dialect is a very welcome update, especially for Filipinos.  Even people who are conversant in Cebuano should welcome this update as they can now use Google…

  • Why I Don't Like Going to Church on Sundays

    Anton de Gracia
    21 May 2013 | 3:13 am
    Image from Seasite.niu.eduDon't get this article wrong. I am a former seminarian, a devout Catholic, a faithful of the Roman Catholic Church and knows very well what excommunication means. This is not to encourage anyone not to go to mass during Sundays, but a plea to take note of existing concerns. These are just observations of a Filipino layman experiencing the rite of the Holy Mass.Spanish conquistadors brought to the country Catholicism, which spread naturally as the colonial reach of Spain got established in the Philippines. These hundreds of years under the Spanish rule cultivated the…

Ang bituin at araw niya kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim."These are the translated words of Jose Palma, a poet and soldier, to be rendered in accordance with the musical composition of Julian Felipe. The verse talks about the symbols of the Philippine Flag, and what it should represent for every Filipino. Should.Our nation's flag tells everyone a story, which has been a part of our school's curriculum since the primary education stages.

Not everybody has that chance."Those were the last words of a man to his son, about to be executed during the Japanese occupation here in the Philippines. He was the acting President of the Philippines before his capture and his refusal to cooperate earned him martyrdom for the country. His name is Jose Abad Santos.His face has been immortalized in the 1,000 pesos bill along with 2 other heroes, but his story isn't known to many.

    Finally, after quite a long wait, more than a year after posting Chasing Filipino Cigarettes, I've managed to get hold of Filipino Cigarettes. It took a trip to the central market of Gapan, Nueva Ecija to get these because they're not available here in Metro Manila. A previous discussion with the makers of these cigarettes didn't really help much, to which they suggested to go to Tarlac to buy their products.Each pack contains 30 cigarillos, no filters unlike the more popular American Blended ones. Their packaging, wrapped in printed paper, much like the way it was done before during the late…

  • Anting-anting Making in Mount Banahaw

    4 Jan 2013 | 11:49 pm
    Anting-anting are among the most sought after mystical objects here in the Philippines during the time of our forefathers, that still persist even today. Deeply embedded in the Filipino culture is the belief in talismans or amulets, rooted from the religious tendency and piety of Pinoys. Since the time of our ancestors, men and women have been searching for various anting-anting, while some have been making these. An encounter with a maker of anting-anting at the foot of Mount Banahaw gave more insights on how these things work.His name had been attached with "ukit" (meaning carve) because of…

    21 May 2013 | 6:33 am
    I believe having a little lunch by yourself every now and then is healthy for one's soul, oui? I'm on a constant lookout for happy places, places---usually restaurants, cafés or bookstores---where I find comfort and contentment (apart from my home) even for a couple of hours. Usually these spots have a serene and relaxing atmosphere, serve coffee, and don't make me feel like I have to leave right away. Books are a plus, albeit I have my own personal library in my Note 2, so I'm not so worried. Living in the South, I would always pass by and notice Le Petit Chéri whenever I'm in the…

  • Great Shawarma by Shawarma Guys at The Fort Strip

    In the mood for some shawarma... When I was about to go to BGC a couple of weeks back, I asked my husband if he wanted something from there. He told me he wanted some food, something for an afternoon snack. I immediately thought about Shawarma Guys, and how many of my friends were raving about it. I was pretty familiar with its location since I already saw it before, when I dined at the Early Bird Breakfast Club, which was just a stone's throw away. The place was pretty big for a shawarma joint, but I heard it could get pretty crowded at night; hence, maybe the need for such space. Good thing…

  • There's No Gelato Like Bono!

    I don't even remember having this good a gelato in Firenze. Admittedly, that was more than a decade ago, and my palate wasn't developed in even the most remote sense, so comparing it might be meaningless. But, this I know for sure: Bono makes the best gelato I have ever tasted in my whole adulthood memory, and granted I haven't tried every single one in the country, I've still had my share. It was a surprise to find out Bono's location---SM Makati---considering the premium products they're selling. One would usually assume such artisanal shops to be located in the likes of Greenbelt,…

    Great comfort food born from the South... It's been far too long since I've last dined in at Conti's. Sometimes, being a food blogger means that you tend to eat at restaurants you haven't tried yet; ergo, less chances of eating at your "usuals". So one time, while waiting for my daughter to finish with her workshop classes, I snagged the opportunity to revisit one of my favorite comfort food places. I distinctly remember how my family used to spend weekends having lunch or dinner at Dates and Nuts, a small, popular restaurant in BF Homes, famous for its lasagna, roast beef, and frothy iced…
