I just learned that tumblelog has been here a long time but it just hasn't been popular (my opinion). When I saw what it looks and how it works, I fell in love with it. I have blogs but writing a story or blog thoughts just doesn't always work for me. That's the reason why I like Flick mobile posting to my blog. It just makes it so easy.

Ok back to tumblelog, I was googling tumblelog platform to get a site started, but I just found just one - gelatocms - an open source cms. I could probably use Wordpress or Drupal, but gelato is just so much easy to use (and install).

I have this previously posted in tumblr.com but it got deleted, so I'm reposting it here and here alone.

Filipino recipes are a collection of traditions and diverse cultural influences of Philippine inhabitants. The main influences are Spanish because of Spain's 500 years colonization in the Philippines. Other influences are from Europe, America and neighboring Asian countries such as China and countries with Malay origins.

Ingredients:

1 cup grated cassava
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon lye
grated fresh coconut for toppings

Mix the cassava, water, sugar and lye in a mixing container. Pour into small muffin pans and steam for 30 to 45 minutes until cooked.

Mold into desired shape and cool in refrigerator.

Serve with grated coconut on top.

Sorry about the spam posts. It took me a while to delete them but they're gone. Unfortunately, registrations are now through email and I would have to approve them personally. It's unfortunate because I know that this is a good venue for pinoys to get together. However, spam technology just caught up with us.

Here's an interesting movie I found in Google Video about Pre-World War II Manila. You can see the old Manila, kalesa, tram in the city- old buildings, old structures.

Evolution Park

C&P S'Mall in front of the Evolution Park in Marikina Heights' Marikina City. This is where we go for halo-halo, great for Manila's warm weather, buy books, go food shopping and get a bite of Filipino tasty hamburgers at Jollibee.

PinoySaAmerika is the brainchild of four friends and we've envisioned this site to be the site that will connect thru cyberspace all Pinoys in the US.

But as we've gone our separate ways, I was left to man PinoySaAmerika. To finally put that vision into action, we now have blogs that a registered member can use, forums for discussions and now a Pinoy directory where pinoy sites will be posted.

If you find sites that you'd like to add, please suggest them and I'll post them here as quickly as I can. Tell also your friends to visit our site and suggest their links too for all Pinoys to enjoy.

Ok now it's time for visitors to my Taytay Falls photos.

Thank you for the notes.

If you know the answer to any of the questions, please post your comments.

I love to post pictures of places my family and I visit and even more I love getting emails from visitors to my sites.

I'm happy to share lovely sceneries from the Philippines unfortunately, I don't usually know how to get to these places nor took note of the entrance fees and what nots.

As soon as I have good information I'll post them here. Or if you know answers to some of these questions, please feel free to comment.

In the meantime, enjoy a sampling of the emails I received. And thank you to all my site visitors!

I know PinoySaAmerika needed a facelift but I've been postponing it for sometime now. Finally I got to it and I'm happy I did.

With the new PinoySaAmerika I could blog my heart away and continue to connect with my kababayans. Any Pinoy can also join in the fun and blog their stories with us.

I have lots of pictures and movies to share but just didn't got the time and the discipline to edit and post them. With my site's new look, I don't have any excuse anymore.

Talk to you soon and I hope you'll join me in PinoySaAmerika blog network.
