Dad is from Bacolor, Pampanga. The entire town relocated after Mt. Pinatubo erupted. My relatives on that side now live in Bulaon or Angeles City.
Mom is from Olongapo City and my relatives on her side still live in the house she grew up in and they keep asking her for money because all but one of them are lazy bums.

Only thing I like with bananas is puchero but those are plantains.
I eat diniguan with regular bananas tho.

Dope, same here.
Mom's from Pasig (I think that's Manila?) and Dad is from Quezon City. I have no idea where some of these areas are on the map. I just know the traffic is bad to get to one place or the other.

If any of you guys are interested in podcasts, check out PHlavor Profiles. It has to do with Filipino food and culture. It has really interesting stuff. Anyone can recommend other Filipino podcasts?

Moved to LI and the only reason for missing Queens is the filipino restaurants and zig zag wraps 4/$1. Overpriced in the city and not many spots sell them in LI. May have to cop some longaniza for breakfast this weekend. No filipino spots in LI or many ethnic varieties, feel like I'm back in the Philly burbs.

Actually, I think someone mentioned some Nassau spots, my old age makes me forget. Miss driving 15 mins and having to decide where to eat filipino food with the fam. Spot near St. Sebastians closed, I think it was Engeline's (sp?) I can drive to the spots on Roosevelt on my commute home but sometimes just want to be out and avoid traffic. Tito Rad's is right off Queens Blvd so thats always an option.
