My Airport to Airport Experience


I lifted this Blog Entry from my other Blog. Since this deals with Travel, it is just right to post it here. This is the exact entry.


Today Marks the 10th Year, or Anniversary, since I was sent Airport to Airport from the USA.

On this day, 10 Years ago, I arrived at Detroit Airport. I lined up in Immigration, the Immigration officer seemed a bit peeved at 2 Filipinos regarding their forms. When I looked at his number it was number 13. His family name was Mills. I was asked all sorts of questions, from how long will i be staying, what I will be doing, who i will visit and so on. One word which I think which made him think i will be staying for long in the US is the word "Help". He said that he will not go a long long way to help his sister. I guess he does not know how Filipino Culture works. Ignorance at its best, but he is of another culture and that is understandable. After the questioning he brought me t a room for more questioning. In my mind, I wanted to go home. Never have I been treated like a 3rd class citizen in my life. After a few hours, a security escort was given to me. I was brought to a Plane that will take me to Manila. I was releived, I was finally on my way home. Away from a country which i so adored before, but now which i dread.

I reapplied for a US Visa last year, but I was denied. There are more Countries to see than the United States of America.

Aling Pining's Crispy Pata (La Loma, Quezon City)

Image
One of Metro Manila's BEST Crispy Pata can be found in a Garage. I found about Aling Pining's Crispy Pata in a FB Comment a few months ago. The Commenter just said the best Crispy Pata can be found in a Garage in Halcon Street in La Loma. With Just Halcon Street as the address we went to La Loma 2 weeks ago in search of Halcon Street Crispy Pata. When we arrived at Halcon Street we just asked the people there where we can buy Crispy Pata. We passed by it already it turned out. It was indeed just a garage. It had a small sign. Halcon Street Crispy Pata was Aling Pinings Crispy Pata.  An Old Lady was the one frying the Crispy Pata. While a middle aged woman  was the one accepting orders. We bought a Crispy Pata (P400) and we were on our way. At home we were eager to finally taste the Crispy Pata. It did not disappoint. The trip to La Loma was worth it. Is it the best? My mom said the one in Marinduque is still the best. For me? Well i need to go back to

Bacolod's Central Market (Bacolod, Negros Occidental)

I have been to Bacolod countless times already but it was only last March 10, 2011 that i got the chance to visit Bacolod's Central Market. From what i saw and remember what was written on the Marker of the Central Market, it was built in 1938 by a certain Don De La Rama.  The Central Market is located in the center of Bacolod and can entered from 4 streets, namely Gatuslao, Gonzaga, Luzuriaga and Bonifacio Streets. We went straight to the meat section of the Central Market to look for Longaniza (Chorizo is how they call it in Negros). The Longaniza we were looking for is the small one, we bought some Longaniza before in Talisay and it was very delicious and we were hoping that they would have it too in Bacolod.  We found a Longaniza stall in the Meat Section, it was being sold for P25.00 for a Dozen. We bought several to take home. We also bought some Batuan at the nearby stall for P80.00 a Kilo.  We were also looking for Kuakoy. We found it being sold by an old lady just outsid

Tita Lulu's Pancit Palabok (San Juan, Metro Manila)

Image
If you are craving for Palabok and Tokwa't Baboy, the best place to go to is Tita Lulu's.  They serve delicious Palabok at Tita Lulu's (Located in front of PureGold Agora, inside the big parking lot). Always say you want the thin noodles when you order Palabok as it is better. The Tokwa't Baboy is equally delicious. Never forget to buy the palabok and tokwa't baboy together as they complement each other.
