International Sausage

when someone tells you "i had german, hungarian and italian in one night." you probably have to bite your tongue before you utter the word "whore!"

but that's exactly what I had, and before you start calling me names similar to the swine variety, i am talking about "sausages".

if you're craving for deliciously grilled sausage with side salad, i recommend you discover Tinder Box along archbishop reyes ave (corner bauhinia road) in cebu city. they have an extensive menu (pricey but good) but the best deals are not written on it.

cheesy hungarian

proceed to go to the deli area and order your sausages (i had st. galer schublig, cheese hungarian and italian garlic) and ask the attendant to have it char grilled and served. they add on a mere Php 38 pesos for the grilling. request for baked potato if you want a bit of variety.

st. galer schublig

germans are big, a tad soft, pale in color but a bit bland, the hungarians are huge and bursting with cheesy cream. italians are plump, short, thick and bursting with the garlicky smell and flavor. i know, the previous line read like a porn article but i'm running out of metaphors.

italian garlic sausages

they charge by the gram and sausages range from Php 47 - 49 per 100 grams. Our bill came up to about Php 600 with two of each variety, two cups of ric and soda (then again, we had to pay for the overpriced cup of rice at Php 50 per serving and soda at Php 60. better yet, get water and forego the rice altogether).

one tip, make sure to tell them NOT to slice the sausages before grilling. they can't seem to understand that concept. you don't want to lick off the cheese from your fingers do you? (uh, now that was really porn-like)

Men and Makeup

nope, this is not another entry about metrosexuals and how the lines have been blurred when it comes to men wearing makeup. i am referring to the local and national election campaign posters plastered all over the country. someone has go to tell these candidates and their stylists that blemish free skin, pouting rouged lips, blushing red cheeks belong to cheeky graduation pictures, or a starlet posing in uno. not the local posters. on second thought, the more senior candidates probably used their graduation pictures, high school pictures mind you. i don't understand why they are afraid to show character with a few elegant lines on their faces. the way botox cleared the expressions, or how photoshop removed all pores from the skin, or how subcutaneous fat seem to have been sucked off from their chins left a very puppet-like look. yup, character, character assassination. combined with exaggerated, toothy grins, some pictures reminded me of joker. not arroyo (one of the few ch

a most unusual saint

Image
the title Black Magic Mary is enough to conjur images of a witch draped in black robes similar to that of the Virgin Mary albeit with a more sinister aura. in Sta. Maria Church in Siquijor, a saint wearing a black habit holds a skull in one hand and an "inverted cross" in another is fast gaining a reputation that is probably influenced by the mystic history of the island itself. locals have speculated that the skull is actually her husband's and that she murdered her husband for reasons that seems to have been lost in history. a bit of research show that the locals refer to the saint as Santa Rita de Siquijor, probably a Filipino convention where we name the Virgin Mary with annexes related to places (e.g. Our Lady of Guadalupe). my own research led me to discover this particular "myth" in an effort to know more about Santa Rita de Cascia who is the patron saint of a church and town named after her in Pampanga. The first thing that caught my attenti

the sign

"Lord, give me a sign..." no, i haven't fallen victim to overly melodramatic movie lines. on the other hand, i actually did use these words while attending mass last sunday (Redemptorist, Cebu City). you see, i have been increasingly dissatisfied with matters regarding the church but not necessarily my faith. to a point that i am debating whether i should even attend mass. i was asking myself if i wanted to attend mass given the fact that the church is getting more political. sure, i understand liberation theology and standing up for what is morally right. but that is exactly the same thing that has been bothering me, the moral thingy. the local church is proclaiming that the current administration has no moral leadership. i am not refuting that claim, on the other hand, the church could have said the same thing about itself. except that they rather not comment on anything when it comes to issues facing the institutional church. and there are tons of dirt, make that hun
