Loving and Hating the "Selfie"

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Are you one of those who love taking photos of themselves using their smartphones?...and then uploading them instantly on their social media networks like Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter or whatever is available and accessible to your mood of the hour.

It has made history to be called as the "selfie" - that shameless plugging of oneself over the Internet for many people to see - and whether you're self-portrait depicts you as smiling, frowning, pouting, and/or using a photo filter or enhancer to create a more appealing image of yourself, the fact remains that the "selfie" you shared with the world may or may not be the real you.

Many have shared countless images of themselves online only to be scrutinized or applauded due to varying factors. But still, these "comments" may also not be the real deal.

Are "selfies" just a form of vanity gone out of control? Too much love for oneself?

Chef Lau's Pugon Roasters : Pinoy Breakfast Highlights

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The popularity of celebrity chefs on TV somehow makes me want to challenge them if they could really offer excellent food other than just their great looks and mesmerizing foodie talk.

I've seen a lot of them in television, cooking demos in trade fairs, exhibits, etc., and even as judges for anything related to food - undoubtedly they have become popular - admit it or not, they have the appeal of the masses! I guess Filipinos either love to cook, or love to eat - maybe both!

Chef Lau is one of them - and with that rockstar long-hair look, he definitely catches the attention of many especially when he came out on TV alongside celebrity Judy Ann Santos at the Pinoy Junior Master Chefs cooking reality show for kids.

Kainan sa Kalye Kanluran (KKK) : Revolutionary Filipino Cuisine

Wazzup Pilipinas!

You have to admit that "looks" really bring out a great first impression. If you see how extraordinary a place is decorated or furnished, then you somehow get an expectation that there's probably a lot more interesting things they can offer.

This is what happened to me after I passed by the SM Megamall branch of Kainan sa Kalye Kanluran or KKK for short. They also call it KKK Food Revolution, and maybe Kainan ng mga Kapuso at Kapamilya (at Kapatid) since celebrities from the different TV stations frequent the restaurant. KKK also once held on the acronym of K3 after the emergence of its 3rd outlet at the Robinson's Place Manila.

I rarely go through the basement path at Building B of the SM Megamall so even though they've been there for so long, it was my first time to see this restaurant. Luckily, I took the road less traveled that day so I was fortunate enough to see for the first time a gem of a restaurant.
