We saw pictures of delicious food and we peered inside their kitchen's glass windows. We saw their cooks grilling, cooking and all the while smiling and chatting with each other. Those are a happy bunch! Hubby said that it's a good thing when the cooks are in a happy mood as the food would surely be cooked with care and consideration. I say the management must be good as the employees are happy. <br />

Then next day, we stopped by for lunch. We ordered Adana chicken wrap, beef gyro sandwich and french fries. We were not all disappointed, that's an understament. The food is simply delicious, authentic Mediterranean. Their Greek white sauce (home-made yoghurt with mint) is fresh and lightly creamy. The Adana chicken wrap, which is ground chicken blended with red pepper, onion and parsley is so yummy. It's served on a wrap and served with tomatoes, yoghurt and rice. It is just what I expected with their spices, and with sprinkling of sweet onions, purple cabbage and lettuce too.<br />

<br />
The beef gyro is superb. The beef, slowly cooked on a vertical rotisserie served with lettuce, tomato and onio. It's wrapped in Lavosh with Greek white sauce on the side. The beef is tender and tasty and the Lavosh wrap is fresh and heated to a lovely and crispy crust. <br />

I do (hint, hint), so I send postcards to my friends when we're travelling abroad so that in case my friends are inclined to send postcards they will remember us too. Hayz, isn't that a roundabout way of getting postcards, why don't I just send myself postcards. <br />
<br />
Anyway, while in Saigon, we bought postcards and sent them to some of our friends in the U.S. and in the Philippines. We had a very pleasant surprise when we went to the post office. It should be in postcards. What a beautiful and magnificent building!<br />

Inside, there are also shops selling not only postcards and other post office memorabilia, but also souvenirs for tourists. Would you believe we bought these rings from there. We had been to the market and other jewelry stores, but we found what we like at the Post office. <br />

A litttle info about prawns:<br />
http://www.endeavourprawns.com.au/nutrition.html <br />
<br />
According to nutritionist Dr Rosemary Stanton, prawns are an excellent source of protein, a good source of omega 3 fatty acids and a great way to get iron, zinc and vitamin E. They are also low in saturated fats.<br />
<b>Prawns are extremely low in fat and calories, yet packed with nutrition. </b><br />
Prawns are even lower in calories and fat than chicken yet with much more protein. As well as being high in protein, prawns contain magnesium, which plays a role in bone development and nerve and muscle function; Zinc, which is good for growing bodies, and selenium, an important antioxidant.<br />
Omega 3 oils found in prawns assist in blood circulation by lowering blood fats and preventing blood clot formation. This aids blood circulation and researchers believe it reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. Research also indicates the omega 3 oil acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and so may reduce the risk of a wide range of health problems, including asthma, pulmonary disease, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease.<br />

</tbody></table><h2>HIGH IN VITAMINS & MINERALS</h2>Prawns are an excellent source of vitamins including iodine which is essential for thyroid gland function, iron for red cell formation and zinc for wound healing. They are especially rich in niacin, essential for a healthy skin and for the release of energy in the body and vitamin B complex needed for metabolic processes.<br />
Most seafoods also supply phosphorus (a mineral needed for strong bones and teeth and for so many of the B-group vitamins to be used effectively). Potassium (essential for muscles & nerves and for controlling blood pressure); and small quantities of many other minerals including magnesium. They are a natural source of sodium.<br />
<h2> CHOLESTEROL AND PRAWNS: SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT</h2>In the past prawns have been accused of being high in cholesterol, this reputation in part has come from older measuring methods producing artificially high results. But in order to understand the issue more clearly, we need to understand a little more about cholesterol.<br />
A serving of 100 grams of flesh from prawns grown in Australian waters will provide approximately 130mg cholesterol (range 120-160 mg/100g) or about one-eighth your normal cholesterol production. The cholesterol in Australian prawns is about two-thirds the level usually quoted from American prawns.<br />
In theory, when you eat prawns, your body should reduce the amount of cholesterol it makes. However, if your diet is high in saturated fat and you have the 'wrong' genes, your cholesterol-production mechanism may not work effectively and the cholesterol from prawns (or fish or any other animal food) can add to what your body is making which may be several grams a day.<br />
To put this into perspective, even if your body does make too much cholesterol, the quantity of ready-made cholesterol you would get from prawns will be only a fraction of the total. It is much more important to reduce the saturated fat in your diet than to fuss about foods containing ready-made cholesterol.<br />
There are some problem combinations which provide high levels of saturated fat and cholesterol for example, fried bacon and eggs, or seafood battered or crumbed and then fried in saturated fat.<br />
Prawns themselves have virtually no saturated fat, so as long as you have them grilled, barbecued, steamed or cooked with a 'good' unsaturated fat like olive oil, they should not cause problems.<br />
The Japanese are the world's greatest consumers of prawns. They also have the highest life expectancy. Is it is possible the two things could be connected? We can't answer that with authority, but at the very least, it is fair enough to say that the cholesterol in prawns and other seafood is unlikely to damage the arteries provided the seafood is not battered or crumbed and cooked in saturated fat.<br />

The above crispy pata is from our favorite restobar, Sit-n-Bull. The first time I tasted crispy Pata was from a Barrio Fiesta, about 30 years ago. Even then, I knew it was sinful to eat it with its fat, ligaments and wow, crispy skin! I learned how to cook it too, with turbo broiler, thinking it's not as sinful as deep frying it. It still is, of course.<br />
<br />
Sinful pleasure, but why not indulge once in a while?<br />
<br />
Here's a recipe (http://www.filipinofoodrecipes.net/crispy_pata.htm)<br />

First let's discuss the ID picture. You know you need ID pictures, right? You need them for your school ID, passport, visa applications, bank account applications, loan applications, SSS records, etc., etc.<br />
<br />
What is a portrait? The web definitions says it is a <span id="main" style="visibility: visible;"><span id="topstuff" style="visibility: visible;">portrayal: a word picture of a person's appearance and character. Wikipedia says "</span></span>A <b>portrait</b> is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_painting" title="Portrait
painting">painting</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_photography" title="Portrait
photography">photograph</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculpture" title="Sculpture">sculpture</a>, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality" title="Personality">personality</a>, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally <b>not a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapshot_%28photography%29" title="Snapshot (photography)">snapshot</a></b>, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer.<br />
<br />
I would like to emphasize that a portrait picture is not a snapshot at all. Both the photographer and you, the subject, need to prepare for the photo shoot. Many photographers, photo studios require that you set an appointment for a portraiture.<br />
<br />
Why do you need an appointment for the studio or photographer? Because they may have previous appointment, silly. Also, the photographer needs to know what props, costumes, backdrops, would be used for the photo session. Having said that, whether you are a friend of the photographer or a walk-in customer, don't feel bad if you are refused a photo session when you so feel right to project that Angelina Jolie pose/pout that you have in mind. <br />
<br />
You, the subject, how do you prepare for a photo session?<br />
<br />
1. Book for a photo session at minimum of 48 hours ahead. I said minimum because depending on the time of the year, many of photo studios and photographers are already fully booked during graduation time, Christmas, favorite wedding time - June or December to January.<br />
<br />
2. Plan your outfits for the photo session. Plan your makeup, your hairdo. Make an appointment with your hairdresser or make-up artist if necessary. For a timeless portrait photo, opt for a classic look: natural-looking make-up instead of a trendy green eyeshadow or blue eye mascara. Your picture would look dated if your outfit, hair-do or make-up goes out of style, so it is better to have a natural look.<br />
<br />
3. Practice your poses in the mirror. If I am the one taking your picture I will guide you with your poses and angles but you should know yourself more. Like do you have a lopsided smile. Would you like to emphasize the downward or upward turn of your smile? Do you have a hairy mole on your right cheek? Is your right eye a bit smaller? Know and choose your best angle. Look at the magazines for nice poses that best suit your body type, your age, your clothes, etc. <br />
<br />
4) The night before the shoot, sleep well. You don't like to look sleepy and droopy , don't you. Photo session takes time and if you lack sleep, and therefore you lack energy, that would show in your picture. Avoid alcohol and salty food as they cause puffiness.<br />
<br />
5) Confirm your appointment at least a day before the photo session. If you forgot, call before you leave your house. You don't like to lug your outfits, make-up, etc to find out later that your photo sessison is booked another day or canceled, etc. <br />
<br />
Recently, I had a client who conveniently forgot that an appointment is needed for a photo session., She came when I was packing for a vacation, and when I pack I plan for each day of our vacation! I was annoyed by the lack of consideration, but since we have a mutual friend, I stopped my packing and obliged for a photo shoot very unprepared. She did not bring extra outfits, I have not prepared the backdrop, props, accessories for her photo shoot, etc. In short, I was not in the mood for a photo shoot but did it anyway, for a friend. Photoshop as always is a handy tool, so I used it liberally as you could see in these pictures.<br />
<br />
Here's the picture before Photoshop: <br />

As she came without an appointment, I was not able to advise her to use a neutral color for her nails. Of course I could change the color of her nails in Photoshop, but she likes the color. I would have opted for her to have a more classic look, especially with her nice curly hair. In the first photo, I had her remove her blouse and chose an angle that does not emphasize her funky jewelry. She was very cooperative , though. It took time for her to relax and smile but she is a pleasant subject. Aside from being pretty and perky, she also has clear skin and her hair looked awesome! It's her first time to have a photo session by a professional. She confessed that she thought a portrait session is when a photographer takes two shots and have her choose between the two. I told her, that could work for an ID picture. Now she knows the difference between a portrait shoot and an ID shot or a snap shot.<br />
<br />
As you could see, Photoshop saved my day. <br />

I have several lookalike fantasies, like Gloria Diaz, Marilou Diaz Abaya (di ba say mo yan Maritz) and Joyce Jimenez ( o di ba, Monissima and Rina, you told me so), but this actress turned director is my favorite lookalike. I didn' t know her until my Dutch photography client showed me a magazine with this actress on the cover. My client asked me if I have a twin in China. Even our hairstyles jibe although I have not seen many of her pictures until recently, She is Joan Chen, born Chinese, former Hollywood actress, now sought after Hollywood director. Any violent reaction? <br />

And the last for now, look at Ed's lookalike - Richard Gere. Tama ba, Monissima? If you noticed, us girls in the above pics have Filipina noses and our celebrity lookalikes have Caucasian noses. In Ed's case, his nose is more patrician than Richard Gere's. Panalo!<br />

Sagada is one of the towns in the Mountain Province, Philippines. It is known for its caves, underground rivers, hanging coffins and rocks! On the side of the roads, there are spectacular and curious rock formations. It is believed that Sagada was once underwater thousands of years ago. In fact some say that the whole Philippines was part of the lost Atlantis civilization. <br />

Friends whispered another friend's lookalike, the husband's lookalike, the boyfriend's lookalike.<br />
<br />
Let's start first with Ann, the one who started this discussion (see Celebrity Lookalike, Part 1) Here's Ann's celebrity lookalike:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx6bdhutg3krD75j-ZEucx-ghburJKCdIlNml9EaPuYH4N3FEDp9Pz_Yi-tJd3APIhBRCL1ZkjupjAz5xm12VXcxCdquU1i_8Z-WdxJDW4vEvcmWdnz_wTCkAXXVwywBKwhMbnTRg0wwI/s1600-h/Ann-Andrea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx6bdhutg3krD75j-ZEucx-ghburJKCdIlNml9EaPuYH4N3FEDp9Pz_Yi-tJd3APIhBRCL1ZkjupjAz5xm12VXcxCdquU1i_8Z-WdxJDW4vEvcmWdnz_wTCkAXXVwywBKwhMbnTRg0wwI/s400/Ann-Andrea.jpg" width="267" /></a></div><br />
Do you agree that Andrea Del Rosario is Ann's lookalike?<br />
<br />
Here's Olive, the original topic of lookalike discussion :)<br />
<br />

Do you agree with Ann that Olive looks like Alicia Mayer?<br />
<br />
Here's another friend, Shiela Marie:<br />
<br />

Some say that she looks like Christine Reyes. I say that Iza Calzado is closer. Don't you agree?<br />
<br />
Lastly for now, here's another friend, Marie. I can't find a local movie star for Marie's lookalike, I find Natalie Portman close, though. :<br />
<br />
How about you, who's your celebrity lookalike? I wonder who's mine..... <br />
