Food Review - Leslie's Tagaytay City
Leslie’s Restaurant, Tagaytay City, Philippines
Food Fiesta Park inc. Aguinaldo Highway, Tagaytay City
We ordered Inihaw na Tuna Belly, Inihaw na Liempo, Sizzling pork sisig and our visit in Tagaytay is not complete if Bulalo is not included in the course.
Food:
*Inihaw na Tuna Belly (small): It was cooked the way we wanted it. The juiciness of the tuna belly was maintained.
*Inihaw na Liempo: The pork was undercooked and I thought that I was chewing a gum. This was our first time that we visited Leslie’s after 3 years. We tried to order the same dish 3 years ago and unfortunately it was undercooked. I was the one ordered the inihaw na liempo just to give them a second chance but they failed, again.
*Sizzling Pork Sisig: I’m a big sisig fan and even though the pork was slightly overcooked, everything went well as far as the sisig.
*Bulalo (Special): What I noticed with the bulalo is that you can count how many vegetables were put on it. 4 pieces of Baguio Beans, 2 Pechay Baguio leaves, 3 Pechay tagalog Leaves, 2 little pieces of corn in a cob and a potato. You don’t have to worry about the vegetables if you’re just for the soup.
The Taste of food was superb but because inihaw na liempo was undercooked, made me give this a 3 out 5 of stars.
Ambiance:
Dining tables and chairs were made of unique cuts of woods. Great ambiance, Jairah (my daughter) was dancing at her high chair while seating when she heard the Manongs and the Manangs singing "Rolling in the Deep" as part of the entertainment for the customers. I was amazed and asked my wife “ Si ate ba ung kumakanta?”.
The whole dining area is overlooking the ever amusing beauty of the Taal Volcano.
5 of 5 stars for Ambiance
Service:
Waiters and other crews were courteous but there are some lapses with the services.
We asked for Calamansi, condiments and serving saucer 3 times to 3 different waiters before we received our request.
We asked for 4 glasses of water twice. We even asked 4 different waiters to have our leftovers for takeout after they bussed it out of the dining area. Lastly, I asked for the bill 3 times before a waiter responded to it and handed us the bill.
2 of 5 stars
Budget:
We spent Php 2250.00 for 4 viands, a family serving of steamed rice and 4 drinks.
Overall:
3.5 out of 5 stars
If you are looking for good food, great view of the Taal Volcano and you’re not in a hurry, I recommend Leslie’s Restaurant Tagaytay City.
This review was made around 3pm-4pm. Service may be different on peak hours like lunch and dinner time.

More Cybercrime Prevention Act FAQ
This is an article written by Rad Basa in Facebook.
(http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4657935295955&set=p.4657935295955)
Although much emphasis is placed on the inclusion of libel in RA 10175, I am more concerned with Chapter 4, in particular Sec 12 which says:
"
SEC. 12. Real-Time Collection of Traffic Data. — Law enforcement authorities, with due cause, shall be authorized to collect or record by technical or electronic means traffic data in real-time associated with specified communications transmitted by means
of a computer system.
Traffic data refer only to the communication’s origin, destination, route, time, date, size, duration, or type of underlying service, but not content, nor identities.
All other data to be collected or seized or disclosed will require a court warrant.
Service providers are required to cooperate and assist law enforcement authorities in the collection or recording of the above-stated information.
"
To the layperson this may seem benign and, even, justifiable. However, to someone from within the industry such as myself, this is very scary. First, because Sec 12 cannot be implemented. I say this because you cannot gather communication data without getting the content as well.
This very broad and loose clause is very open to abuse by the government. A simple "suspicion of malice" has the potential to intrude upon your rights to privacy. They can do fishing expeditions listening in to your data, and when they find something, they ask the courts for a warrant.
Let me explain. Upon order by the DOJ, law enforcement authorities can and will listen in to your data communications without need for a warrant. The law says they cannot look at the content. But this is not entirely accurate. They will be using a packet sniffer to do this. A packet sniffer will reveal all, including the content. The photo I attached is a screen capture of a packet sniffing tool.
(I will be trying to explain this to laypeople, and so will be leaving out many technical things. I acknowledge the danger of oversimplification.)
Data transmission is done in packets. A packet will contain: origin, destination, message type, message length, and content, among others. Although to us humans, a packet may seem like a discrete unit of communications, to the computer it isn't. It is one continuous stream of data, one packet after another. The only way of separating one packet from another is looking at the packet information which will tell you how long the packet is. You then measure the length of the packet to get to the start of the next packet. And to be able to measure something, you need to have it with you. In other words, you will need the entire packet, including the contents, to do this.
In the photo, the upper pane is a list of all the packets my computer has received and transmitted.
The left pane describes, in human readable format, all the contents of the packet. In this case, this is a web page, or part of one. The source, destination, and message information is listed in easy to an read format. The highlighted "Hypertext Transfer Protocol" and the "Line-based text data: text/html" is the content. The authorities are not supposed to look inside these. But a simple mouse click, expands those entries and reveals all the content.
The right pane is the packet in raw computer format. To the far right is, again, a human-readable format of this raw data. I have arbitrarily scrolled down to illustrate that it is easy to see what I have been reading. And as I have said earlier, a packet sniffer gathers sent and received data. My transmissions can just as easily be read by law enforcement authorities who have been given orders by the DOJ.
This particular packet sniffer also has "Find" capabilities which will make looking into your data comms easier.
I will leave it to your imagination what a government can do with this power.

Tado's Booksikleta FULL HD VIDEO
This is the full video of our ride with Mr. Tado Jimenez last September 15, 2012. We biked our way from McDo Marcos Hi-Way Cainta to the SMX Convention Center with him and we were lucky to get his book with his signature in it.
We also would like to invite you to our next ride with him on October 26, 2012 going to Batangas City as part of imbamanila's "Bike Yer Ass To..." Series.
Amend The Cybercrime Prevention Act
On a lighter note, here are the things that the Cybercrime Act should cover (but we are still against it):
1. Vanity shots. Bawal mag-upload ng 3 albums worth of photos na puro fez mo lang! Feel kitang i-report! Nag-headband lang 75 photos agad dapat..
2. After-jerjer cuddling photos. Wag mag-upload ng pics nyo ng jowa mo kung saan obvious na wala kayong saplot! Hindi handa ang sambayanan sa bedsheets niyong madumi. Sumulat kayo kay Xerex at magtanong kung kelan sya magkakaroon ng website.
3. Mga mahilig makipag-away in English na karumal-dumal ang grammar.. "i'm can never jealous of a slut like you..your such a trying hard!!"
4. TMI (Too Much Information) Attack - "ang lakas ng regla ko today..", "haizt maghapon akong nagtatae sakit na ng pwet ko.."
5. Emo 24/7 - "guys ang sakit may mahal na siyang iba..", "fb friends gusto ko na mamatay..", "haizz miss ko na siya pero di ko sasabihin kung sino", "guys umiiyak ako ngayon (insert photo)"
6. EoWH pFouH kUyAh uzTah pFouH jAn jEjEjE aCoh pFouh aUz aMan wAzuP pFouH NuH pFouH 3p nYoh JAn tAwA muCh jEjEjE ---> RECLUSION PERPETUA
