Food 1 paragraph write-up about a restaurant you recently ate at
Quite literally Mexican for “the little canteen,” El Poco Cantina in Leon Guinto street will surely satisfy your Mexican food craving fix. Foodies can have a little taste of Mexico in El Poco Cantina, a hole-in-the-wall hidden in a back alley near DLS-CSB. Adding their own special twist to the classics, El Poco Cantina’s dishes are a mixture of familiar Mexican flavors and their own style of cooking—from their bestselling Asian pulled pork soft tacos to their authentic carnitas burritos. Opened just last September, this small taqueria has become the perfect spot for those who want a quick burrito grab to-go and for those just looking for a place to chill, sit down, and even have a quick chat with the cooks while waiting for their food.
Travel 1 paragraph about a must-see local destination or a recent trip you've had
With such close proximity from our borders, one just might assume we have so much in common with nearby Indochina, namely Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Malaysia—and the assumption is quite understandable. Though we all might share the same race, our similarities pretty much end there. What makes our Southeast Asian neighbors so great is that they each have their own distinctly rich cultures and vibrant history that’s very different from our own. Their own set of religion, tradition, customs, and general culture make way for lots of travel go-to places—from the palaces and temples in Bangkok, the Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, the ancestral buildings and cultural heritage sites in Phnom Penh, the union of history and modernity of Saigon, to the perfect contrast of the cultural and economic power of Kuala Lumpur—that certainly won’t let you leave without giving you a new experience unlike any other.
Music 1 paragraph about your favorite band/artist (local or international)
It has almost been exactly a year since breakout singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers released her debut studio album, ‘Heard It In A Past Life.’ Despite her album receiving critical acclaim, Rogers said her album’s “contemporary pop" style wasn’t exactly always like that. The Maryland native says her music career started with folk music, with her folk roots largely influenced by her hometown. In fact, she was set to make a folk album, but this changed when a visit to a club in Berlin “enlightened” her to begin appreciating dance pop, thus gracing the world with her now folk-pop album. Some say her encounter with Pharell means she just got lucky, but her releases and latest Grammy nod are a testament to her own artistry and raw talent that goes beyond just luck, and perhaps that’s exactly what makes Maggie a truly exceptional artist.
