Vodk Tonic vs Gin Tonic

Sex on the Beach. Found an interesting article on shooters with these "names." Free recipe, too.


Gin Tonic

3 parts gin
5 parts tonic
wedge of lime

For a "part," I would use bottle cap.

Fill glass with enough ice. Put in gin. Rub lime around the rim of the glass (this one I read somewhere) and put in lime into the glass. Top with tonic.

There are people who would squirm at the idea of drinking gin. I like gin. I can finish a bilog on my own. Just water and gin is fine. Gin and pomelo (ginpomelo) was de rigeure when I was in college. Besides, they say it is good antidote for fever.





Vodka on the other hand is something fairly "new" to me.

Molino Grill

Typhoon Frank has just passed Bicol. I'm at Bean Bag, a coffee shop beside Molino Grill. Both are two of the older hang-out places along Magsaysay Avenue, Naga City.

Had dinner with bestfriend, Lovey (who by the way was the first inspiration behind how this blog was eventually developed) , at Molino Grill last night: Grilled Squid, Sinigang na Ulo ng Lapu-Lapu, 2 cups plain rice, 1 cup garlic rice, lemonade for P305.00 only. Not bad.


Molino Grill serves beer. I remember in December 2004, my high school classmates (and then one), spent a night of good laughs here over a few buckets of beer. And for these memories, it holds a special place in my heart.

Nommu, Morato

Niel's work of art.

It was practically a Thursday night of drinking that of course, ended at about 2 am of Friday which qualified this post :)

I sort of suggested it to Noreen since majority of them were from Quezon City. Nommu is along Tomas Morato, Quezon City. It is beside Popoy's Grill which is across Kozui Green Tea. Beer is 3 for a 100 and Vodka Cruiser is at P120.

Food is Japanese-inspired. Emz actually had noodle soup before, with and after her beer. She says she's not really encouraged to drink because she has "acid reflux." But she did and she was fine. The noodles may have really helped line her stomach.



Neil, meanwhile, stuck a row of SML labels on the mirrored table. But he wasn't really drunk.

Birthday Dinner and Championship Party

It was Ced's birthday celebration and victory party (his team won the basketball championship game a few days ago) so last Saturday night we went to their house south of the Metro. That was after a visit at the site of William's project in Alabang. And getting lost. Then looking for Conti's. Then getting lost. Then finding Conti's and buying a cake. Then getting lost. And finally finding the house. And met Dado.

Had beer and wine and beer. This was while we were talking about accounting and opportunities. And while I was silently thinking about Lovey. But I digress. And while at it, we also talked about how William's nose is so beautiful but that of May was perfect.

Everybody can be beautiful. Blessed are those who were given the "features" through genes. Lucky are those who can afford to pay for them.

Rasa Marina

Rasa Marina is in Sta. Ana, Cagayan North. It has beer in can and really good pultuan. Lobster is still a steal despite the fact that the foreigners have adversely affected the selling price (from P150/kilo to P1000!) It is near the port that takes you to the Crocodile Island where sunrise, they say, is really, really beautiful. Too bad, it was a cloudy day but the discipline to wake up, the soothing sounds of the sea and the early morning breeze made the experience really nice.

Just be sure not to break and leave broken bottles on the island (we found a lot).
