A Love Letter To My Bea - 1983 Honda CX400 Custom

There’s a certain kind of satisfaction that comes from straddling a machine like my Bea, not a person, sorry, but my daily ride motorcycle, a 1983 Honda CX400 Custom. Named it after Bea Alonzo, the actress, who I find very beautiful and classy looking. It's not the type of satisfaction that you get from the latest hyper-engineered crotch rockets with their aggressively designed plastics, with more electronics than a NASA space shuttle. No, this is a different kind of satisfaction—one that’s earned, a satisfaction that emerges and rumbles from deep within the soul, like the low, guttural growl of that transverse, carbureted, Moto-Guzzi style - 400cc V-twin engine.

Breakfast at Grills and Sizzles: A Morning Ritual of Mine I'd Begrudgingly Share

In a city that never seems to sleep, breakfast is often an afterthought. A quick cup of coffee, a hurried piece of pandesal, maybe a protein mix chugged in one long drink. But there’s a small corner of the world where breakfast is a distinctly pinoy art form, where the first meal of the day is revered, not rushed. That place is Grills and Sizzles, a family-owned gem tucked away at the corner of Examiner and Times streets in Quezon City -  a go-to haven for those who understand that mornings are meant to be savored.

Walking into Grills and Sizzles feels like stepping into someone’s home, and in a way, it is. The cozy, homey ambiance is more than just decor; it’s an invitation to relax, to slow down, to take a moment. The warmth of the wooden furniture, the smell of freshly brewed coffee hanging in the air, the soft hum of conversations—this is where you start your day right.

EXPTV - Road Trip - Tony Agudo 08.23.2024

There’s a certain magic that happens when you step into a place like Lili Cantonese Restaurant. It’s not just the grand décor, or the buzzing chatter of a packed dining room. No, it’s something deeper, something almost intangible. A vibe that tells you this is where you’re going to have a damn good meal.
