I'm soooooo excited! Can't wait.
Ooh wait, I'm already allowed in the kitchen. It's just that I don't go there 'coz I'm afraid of the thing called Cooking Oil!

Cooking oil is good - there are so many things you can do with it. Including frying things!
Never eaten Philippine food - loads of Chinese / Indonesian / Malay / Thai / Indian - any good?

Philippine food is good. Unlike from Malaysia (or is it from Thailand/Vietnam? I can't recall), our food is not that exotic.
We also have burgers and fries (courtesy of US influence).
We love to do some experiments when it comes to food and advertise new dishes. And I can assure you, aside from it's edible, it tastes great!
Unluckily for me, I wasn't given the gift of cooking.
Have you been in the Philippines?

No - I kind of circled it! Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Japan but I missed the one in the middle!
Thai food is spicier than Malay, but Malay includes a lot of Chinese / South Indian influences.
Vegetable curry and rice pancakes for breakfast - wakes you up fast!

and the best, I think!
US, Japan, and Europe's influence plus true Filipino food all-in-one. We also have the best tasting coffee that we'll keep you up til the next day (I'm not pulling your leg on that).

Could be - I've met a few Filipinos and they were all good people!

Good for you.
I haven't met Brits personally. Just Chinese.

I have a small coin collection, nothing too serious, and when there was a local coin fair in town, I took some of my one cent coins (no longer legal tender) with me to see if I could get them valued.
A very nice chap looked at them and essentially split them into two piles - one small pile of rare coins, the other of, frankly, not in the least bit rare coins.
Walking round the hall, I came across a stand selling coins made into jewellery - and what with the wife's birthday round the corner, thought I might try to buy one with her birth-date on.
After a bit of haggling, we settled on a price, upon which I realised I hadn't brought my wallet !
I was in a quandary for a moment, then had an idea - and managed to leave the exhibition with the gift for Mrs Maxxx.
Of course - I used my common cents.

I was going to say, "A penny for your thoughts, Maxxx" (to coin a phrase) but then I realized you really need to change.

Because of the ad with Paris?

Definitely NSFW. I visited your link and was immediately confronted by an ad with a picture of Paris Hilton on it.

There's nothing harmful with the ad as I see it. I just read the news and shared it with you. Have you read it or you're Internet Nazis blocked it?
@Pete. That's Philippine's online newspaper. I thought you can open it like I can open BBC.
Ohh, and I don't know that she is Paris Hilton.
