A slice of the Philippines in London, UK

I was privileged to stay for an extended visit to London. For those of you planning to be there next year during the Olympics you can also get your fill of turo-turo joints in Earl’s Court just as we are able to do here (so fortunately)  in San Diego.  The tube station is just across several Pinoy stores and buffet places where you can get a hearty meal for 8 pounds.

Someday perhaps Manila will have as good a transit system as London does.  As good a housing policy as well. And not only Manila but Cebu, Davao, Baguio and our major towns and cities as well.

And so we quote Emily Dickinson:

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune–without the words,
And never stops at all.

 

Rex Navarette will be in San Diego next week-end

I got a notice from Jenny C from the House of Blues:

We are promoting a show with premiere Filipino American comedian Rex Navarette at the House of Blues, San Diego on May 20th.  Would love to post this information on your site:
