Te Amo Boss, Catarman

After that 'sumptuous' dinner at Yu Huan Seafood Palace, we strolled around, curious to see how's an evening like at nearby areas (from GV Hotel) in the Catarman town center.

And I don't remember what came to our minds, but we ended up at this restobar called "Te Amo Boss". Maybe the new building, or the lighted signage, or since it's on 2nd floor?

Nice clean place, but no people around. I also "attributed" that to being a Thursday hehe!

We thought it was closed, but a waiter welcomed us. So we entered - kahiyaan na lang!

There were 3x the number of staff in this place than customers - me and the driver!

That's 3 of them, plus the one serving us, plus there were kitchen crews that kept peeping into the dining area where we sat - we wondered what they were curious about.

And there was this "official meeting" - I think that's the chef and... their manager?

The setup is cute - as you enter, you immediately see all those orange-colored fixtures (in the pics above). Those are the inner areas and looks to me like their "restaurant side".

Towards the stage up front, furnishings take on a darker (black-and-white) ensemble...

I take it as this is the "bar" and/or "cafe" area - complete with curtains definitely expertly designed by your atrevidang lola! Complemented by two of her pinag-lumaang carpets!

That wall, by the way, and that on the right side are all glass, mind you!

This corner has a very good view of the intersecting streets down there! Good for people watching! The reverse is true of course. Passers-by can see you! See & be seen! Bongga!

Now now... a waitress ushered us to the table nearest that "performance stage", o ha?! So I asked what time their band would start playing. She said there's none tonight, bukas pa. Argh! But she was quick to entice us by saying we can sing on videoke up there haha!

I joked at her saying "ako kakanta? gusto mong umulan?" and she answered "okay lang" hehehe! I said, me I don't like rain! But I asked the driver if he wanted to sing. Nag-pa-cute, ayaw daw! So we just had 1 beer each and left. Kesa magtitigan kami buong gabi!

Oh well, this could be a good enough night place. But if they only have customers on a Friday, I guess this will not be a sustainable-enough entertainment business endeavor.

Good luck Te Amo Boss Cafe and Bar whatever!

Trapped In Oras, Eastern Samar

Image
Oras is a pacific-facing town up the northern portion of Eastern Samar. This town's name is not pronounced like the Tagalog word for time. No, not like that! It is [o'ras] where the stress is in the second syllable. The speed and tone is like how you say the English words "alight", "chorale", "amass" or "awash". Okay, that's good enough, I know you got it! Uu da, oke na da it! Asya it! Yesterday, I was in the area checking on some work-related matters. Stayed overnight in this town as I haven't yet heard if accommodation facilities are available in San Policarpo or Arteche (these are the 3 northern-most towns of Eastern Samar). This morning, I was on my way to other nearby places, but.. I got trapped (happily) by a parade! That long white bridge behind them is the only way out south... A youngish set of town officials, I must say. Oh, the girl in the middle is not a muse. She is THE Mayor! But by the looks of it, she migh...

Hinatuan, A Quick Visit

Image
Happy (and thankful) to have seen the center of this town, even if I did not at all dream of being in the place yet! I only wanted to see Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted River which I thought were both in Bislig ! Only to find out that Enchanted River is even farther away than Hinatuan, from Bislig or Tinuy-an Falls! This place is out of the way if you come from anywhere in Bislig to the Enchanted River or vice-versa! So, how did I find myself here? Nag-detour? Well, I would like to think of this as some kind of a gift! An addition to my itinerary (at no extra cost), for lack of anything else to do and/or any place else to see! Why? Because we were moving too fast from place to place, because: I did not stay long at Tinuy-an Falls or Enchanted River.., because: there were just too many visitors that I did not enjoy it any longer! Whose fault? Mine! Lesson learned: DO NOT VISIT SURIGAO DEL SUR ON A HOLY WEEK! So.., because we were already done with Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted Ri...

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d...
