if you are staying in the city, try dining at breakthrough, nes and tat's, ocean city and tatoy's, for great seafood.... drop by juan's and sarabia manor... with the latter if you are in for some ballroom fun and they have nice bars there, too....

if you are going outside the city, visit racsos in guimbal and alubihod, in guimaras. if you would want to go island hopping remember to visit pula pasayan, taklong and nagarao.

next time you go there, make it during dinagyang season... that's in january.

enjoy your stay!

Ohh Tatoys, Guimbal, Guimaras.... Mangoes, Chicken barbeque...... My kind of places & food. Would sure like to get back to them someday but for now... might as well get the charcoal burning in the grille. Wink [;)]

Nyak! I'm neither familiar with Ever Gotesco nor Commonwealth (UP nga lang halos mawala na ako dun e) cause I really am not familiar din with the QC area.

I'm sorry but I have to take a raincheck sa airbrushing lessons muna, something else came up and I have to be in the Las Pinas area later in the afternoon. Baka magkanda-wala pa ako pabalik and be late with my appointment if I decide to go to UP pa. Black Eye [B)]

I hope you'll hold another session of "airbrushing 101" I could join in the future wherein any of my personal errands won't get in the way. Banged Head [banghead]

Thanks for the invite though. Bow [bow]

Yup it's the good 'ol home cookin' that could really make you homesick. Disapprove [V]

Anyway, had an afternoon barbeque with some hometown guys up in northern New Jersey today & it was a real blast. Big Smile [:D]

@allan
Lipton,
Text me if youre going to bring stuff. Ill bring my camera so we could take shots of your wonderful works. Lets start with the Bradley and maybe some progress pics of the Enigma.

Yeeeeyyyy! Thank you po Sir. I hope it will not be too taxing on your part kakahiya naman. :o) Pwede po paturo mag-open ng panel sa plane? ;o)

@mang ernie
Lipton,
sure, i'll try to bring one next meeting, so how's the Enigma (Iraqi T-55) coming along?

Di ko pa po na-a-update enigma ko. I'm currently stuck with my Sabre for the BACup contest, but don't worry I will work on it this weekend. Di po ba mahirap gawin ang ships? How is it compared to armor/planes? :o)

Good day!

For a long while this discussion focused on food, 1/3 km grill and what-have-you. Now, we're entering the "ladies" into the topic? Careful boys. Your wives/girlfriend might be at your back. No more free models for you!

UY!!! You're a SHE??? Hey Guys!!! She's a SHE!!! I'm so glad to hear that a lady has taken up this hobby. In all my years of modeling, I've only come across four ladies who are serious modelers - two of them are architects and the other two are fine arts students (the two architects have already stopped Sad [:(]

). Which group do you belong? Wink [;)]

Honestly, I'm really glad to hear there are Filipinas in this forum. It's really refreshing to note this.

Hello guys!

I'm Dennis Ferriol from IPMS, Manila. Been around the hobby for quite a while. I build mostly 1/35 armour but i do get my hands on some 1/72 A/C and 1/350 Ships, every now and then. Gearing up to try some Diorama work in the near future.

Yah, thinking about Cebu brings back old memories. Been there twice. One thing I miss most is a night-out at the Waterfront. Hehehe...

Happy Modeling

Hmmmm.... I thought I got over this stuff but since you mentioned it again, yes I agree, Iloilo & it's food specialties are superb. Wonder when I could get my hands on the food again. Big Smile [:D]

@Lipton,

Sorry for the late reply, well, yeah depending on the subject and the level of accuracy you want to achieve, i'm a mix builder and honestly, i'm still having problems with the transition...armor to ships, ships to aircraft and what have you... what really motivates is the subject no matter how difficult the build will be your still be having fun.

realistically speaking, on my part when a build is really taking too long, i always have another different build in reserve to relieved the "umay" .

currently i'm stuck with my F-8 for the BAC cup which is taking tooo long to build, until Allan posted his finished PAF F-8H at arnorama inspired me to push forth he'd promised to bring the kit next meeting...did i also mention inspiration?

Allan's 1/72 ESCI kit had short commings but, his finished kit came out pretty good.

i'll bring my camera as back-up.

@Halo,

Hello halo! what's up?

Hi Sir Ben and to all fellow IPMS, Manila members.

Sorry for not being able to attend yesterday. Family outing at Batangas and since it was my birthday last Sat., I couldn't squeeze my way out. Am sure I missed a lot, specially the chance to see Noel's wares at his house. Next time, i guess. Rgds!

Yeah Sigman. Been a while. Last time was Y2000, work-related. Guess a lot has changed since then. Nwy, if i had the time and money to spare for a vacation, like airfare to Cebu & all, i'd rather spend it on kits before they're bought-off the shelves by everybody. Hehehe. But I'd like to got there again...sometime in the near future with my family.
