A Bicolano Blogger

4

I blog, I’m a Bicolano, therefore I’m a Bicolano Blogger. I don’t know personally anyone that blogs from Bicol Region. I know that there are many Bloggers from Bicolandia but I don’t consider Tumblr, Friendster blog, Multiply Blog or other micro blogging platforms as a real blog. For me, it’s either Blogger (Blogspot) or WordPress.

I grew up in the Capital Town of Camarines Sur, Pili and attended basic secondary and tertiary school in Naga City. I noticed that when someone asked a Bicolano from what province they’re from, they would automatically said they are from Bicol. The thing is Bicol is a region, not the province. So, in my case, I’m from Camarines Sur.

I am currently residing in Quezon City for almost 2 years now. My last visit to Camarines Sur was last May of 2009. Another thing I noticed is that most people that never been to Bicol Region thinks that it is somewhere in the Visayas Region or is a place of mountains, deep forest, rice fields and place of no signs of high technology. But if you’ve been to my old neighbourhood in Naga City, you’ll notice that it’s not that far compared to strolling Timog and Tomas Morato of Quezon City. Bars, Restos, 5 Star Hotels and there’s even a Starbucks, Kopi Roti and Yellow Cab Pizza along Magsaysay Avenue. WiFi hotspot everywhere and civilized, fashion/gadgets updated people roaming around. Pili, the Capital of Cam Sur is a now a well known tourist destination because of the CWC Waterpark, home of one of the best wakeboarding/wakeskating/water skiing park and a skateboarding park that is complete with half pipes, quarter pipes, ramps, funbox, rails and stairs and all you need for technical transition tricks.

Merienda at Ma Mon Luk is No Better than eating Kinalas from Naga City

I got curious why there are always a lot of people eating at Ma Mon Luk in Banawe. So I tried eating there by myself this afternoon. I ask for the menu and choose Original Mami and Special Siopao with a glass of Cola. The mami is not what I expected as I’m assuming that it’ll taste so good you’ll always want to eat there on your merienda. The siopao is good but I taste Siopaos way better than theirs.  I paid a total of 165 PhP for that merienda thinking that I ordered the small sized Mami.



Going home, I suddenly long for my hometown in Camarines Sur, a place where you’ll get satisfied with a 50 PhP worth of snacks.  In Naga City, we have a version of Mami called Kinalas. It’s the best version of Mami I tasted so far. I remember eating at “Tiya Kamot”in Solid Street, Tiya Cely’s at Barlin Street, Kinalas Twin at Dayangdang and of course Bolofers in front of Nagaland E-Mall.
