Affilliation
Bug Attack!
While driving, my foot started itching, so I gave it a scratch. Pretty soon, my hands started itching too, then I started feeling the heat slowly climbing my neck to my face. It was a familiar thing, and I knew that if things didn’t get controlled, things might get ugly.
Those of you who know that I almost died before due to a caterpillar allergy can appreciate how frightened I was starting to get at these symptoms. I decided to cancel my appointment and go home, hopefully a bath would wash off whatever it was that was causing the spreading allergic reaction. After the bath, I felt my itching foot settle down, and my hands and arms starting to settle, so I thought I just had to relax and the itch on my face will start to subside too. Good thing I was right.
My SO mentioned that it might have been the venom from an insect that I spread around me using my hands when I first scratched my foot. She’s probably right, but now I don’t know if the insect is dead (it probably is) and where I contracted it (the shoe? the socks?). Regardless, I’m gonna be more careful with my next change of clothes.

While looking for a simple meal in SM Mall of Asia, my friends and I ran into Big City. It’s basically a hot-dog place, which is just the simple type of food we were looking for, so we gave it a try.
They have 3 basic types of hot-dogs, locally made dogs, Nathan’s (imported beef hot-dogs), and Johnsonville (imported pork hot-dogs). They have some rice meals, a pizza, and burgers, but of course we were there to check the dogs.
The the hot-dogs can come in the typical set meals which consists of the hot-dog of choice, fries/onion-rings, and an iced-tea. I tried the beef hot-dog, my SO and our friend tried the local hot-dogs. We all agreed that the hot-dogs were pretty good. The fries were better than usual (though it needed a bit more salt), and the onion rings are fair. What sold us to the place was the price, a set meal costs around P80, which ain’t bad considering that the hot-dogs were pretty good (the beef hot-dog tasted similar to Sabrett), and that it included better than average fries/onion-rings. The only downside we found was that the condiments were sub-par (the ketchup wasn’t all that good).
The place has a good price-versus-performance ratio, pretty good taste for a relatively cheap price. If you drop by MOA and feel like having a hot-dog, do give it a shot.
