Vacation Time In Borocay
by Ranil on Jan.27, 2009, under Points Of Importance, Something New
I flew on a prop plane a few days ago to an island in the Pacific Ocean. I watched sailboats sail into the sunset. I swam in clear blue waters and played in white sand. I snorkeled amongst coral reefs and para sailed over it all.
The Dicks, Chicks, Parachutes, and a Zipline Tour
by Ranil on Dec.01, 2008, under Something New, Tours
What makes a man give up a perfectly good Thanksgiving Dinner with family and friends? The chance at adventure and the opportunity to reach out and kiss the sky! It started off with an article about the kids at google installing a zipline. A few hours later and a dozen phonecalls away – the beginnings of a roadtrip to Northern California to ride the Zipline into infamy. A few days later the notion of Sky Diving fell into place. With that our roadtrip was born.
New from the Old
by Ranil on Nov.24, 2008, under Nostalgia
It’s fun reconnecting. After getting over the initial shock at having not seen someone in a while you can’t help but smile as you talk and catch up on the events that transpired in days gone by. Sometimes you share old stories and ponder what old acquaintances are up to. Sometimes you share new stories of the joys and pain of life. Either way it’s a chance to become a friend with someone you thought you had lost a long time ago.
Something New: Week 10 – Karaoke in Burbank
by Ranil on Nov.16, 2008, under Something New
So what do you do while LA burns down around you? If you’re anything like us then you’ll go out and sing badly in front of a bunch of drunken strangers. This weeks activity finds us in the city I love to hate – Burbank. Aside from the smoking ticket I got long ago from them they are home to the Burbank Bar and Grill which has “Karaoke Night” every Thursday and Sunday.
Places to Eat In LA: Kyushu Ramen
by Ranil on Nov.09, 2008, under Places To Eat In LA
In terms of comfort food Ramen has to rank up there with a nice Filipino breakfast. Braving the cold winds in the Valley my friends and I decided to head out to one of my favorite Ramen places outside of Little Tokyo – Kyushu Ramen. This place became a local favorite of mine a few years due to its location and its selection of different kinds of Ramen. This type of Ramen should not be confused with the prepackaged Ramen you find at stores due to its more complicated nature. While the main idea stays the same – noodles and soy or miso base – the collection of vegetables and different meats and spices make Ramen a truly enjoyable experience for me.
