More pics from my trip to the Philippines.

Seed, sweets, squeeze. Congratulations, you're speaking Tagalog.









Sweet corn, coconut-n-milk, cheddar cheese, and avocado ice cream. I tried avocado; it wasn't very avacadoey, having been corrupted by a strong artificial "sweet corn" aroma. You know how in Organic Chemistry you synthesize the banana flavoring, and it smells EXACTLY like banana Runts, banana Laffy Taffy and banana popsicles because there's only one variation of synthetic banana flavoring? It's like that with the ubiq Asian "sweet corn" flavor.




The big-n-tall store in the mall.




The world's most ineptly executed "boxing" pose. (That's right. Fanny pack. What are you going to do about it, bitches?)

No! All the tp's I saw had boring names. Word on the street in Hong Kong was that there was a toilet paper called "My Fanny"...I always looked for it but never saw it.

In Tagalog "I love you" is "Mahal Kita" (Muh-hal Kee-tuh) and "You're beautiful" is "Maganda Ka ' (Muh-gun-duh kuh). That's the limit of my Tagalog. I really should learn more because I'm pretty sure my mother in-law is talking smack about me when I'm in the room.

Were you able to try BALUT (unhatched duck embryo)

Oh, I don't know if you spotted a "sorbetes" vendor aka "dirty ice cream" vendor. They call it dirty because it's sold on the streets, but it's homemade ice cream and tastes good.

Actually it says young coconut & lychee, not coconut and milk, which would mean it's really the flavour of savoury coconut meat, coupled with saccharine slightly tangy of lychees. That sounds orgasmic and I'm already 20 pounds overweight.

christ, dude, if you're going to post, SAY something. your wife is Filipina... and? plus, you already posted that yesterday. this forum is not meant as an ad space for your own blog (which I have visited and found to be exceptionally devoid of anything other than blatant self-promotion on your part).

sorry to be blunt, but I am tired of your repetitive URL-posting.

Ah, yes, there's nothing a black person likes more than... watermelon. The "black" person on the package must go to the same doctors as Jacko, though.

I'm not surprised to find you attracted to footlong hot dogs. Haba nice, long holiday treat! Perhaps having Happy Chubby Nips will successfully distract from the unmodelly weight gain caused by eating all those plump, juicy stuffed meat cylinders.

I'm shocked to see you turning up your nose at artificially flavored snacks, although I too would probably skip the "corn" and "cheese" flavored ice cream, but I do remember the banana flavoring orgo lab. I preferred the polymer lab and pulling six-foot-long boogers out of the mixing bowl.

This is the perfect accessory for a household that buys Wee Wee Care.

Looks like fat Filipinos have to check their dignity at the door when they buy clothes. I don't know about that women's clothing, though--are Filipinas really willing to walk into a store called Tubby? Maybe they'd do it to find some big men.

Who is Fred Lim? Is he wanted for leading a riot among his fellow droogs?

I guess the fanny pack is one way to protect against low blows, Helyse. It may not be much of a boxing pose, but it nicely showcases your model brawn and mastery of the self-timer.

I don't think that's a black person on the package. I've never been to the Philippines, but I kind of doubt they have the same stereotypes about black people as North Americans do.

actually the corn ice cream sounds good . . . x_x;
but i know what you mean about the flavouring! I've had corn candies that are supposed to be sweet and taste just like fritos or whatever. It's slightly disturbing.
and this is completely unrelated, but I LOVE your shoes! Velcro is awesome 8')
