All my Filipino friends on Facebook have been sharing this recent article in the L.A. Times about, despite the abundance of classically-trained chefs of Filipino descent, how none of them seem willing to start a fine dining restaurant featuring Filipino food. The article appeared to be the centerpiece of the Food section for that day, which also included a review of Magic Wok in Cerritos and recipes for nilaga, adobo and bichu-bichu (which I don’t think I’ve ever had, but whatever). The article asks the question: why can’t Filipino food go mainstream and be featured in a fine dining restaurant? Why isn’t it as popular as Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Thai food?

Back to normal blogging
Sure, this blog is basically about my life, and my life has been changed fundamentally, but I feel like my thoughts about Michael deserve its own space. Plus, my younger sister has said she wanted me to start a Photobucket or something for Michael — a gallery of sorts where she can see all his pictures anytime she wants. I did look into some WordPress plugins that would let me put a gallery on this site, but none were as good as Flickr — which I already have and am paying for.
So that means, for those who want to keep seeing those adorable photos of Michael, you’ve got to get yourself a Yahoo account, get onto Flickr and become one of my contacts. I’ll probably continue to post a few photos of Michael here and there, but it won’t be as frequent — especially since I can’t BS enough to warrant a post just for all the photos I take of Michael.
Also, if you’re up for some ultra cute, check out the videos I’ve been posting of Michael on YouTube. And they’re in HD, baby.
Oh, and I do have news and photos.
