THANK YOU FOR VISITING! MARAMING SALAMAT SA PAGBISITA!
Thank you for visiting SUPERPASYAL. We aim to provide you entertainment and information through our travels and escapes into the megalopolis that is Manila - and beyond.
As a travel blog, we aim to provide you the most correct and updated information as possible, thus we appreciate any feedback that you may have and we welcome corrections on any of the information that we have presented here.
Once again, thank you and please visit again soon!

MY MISSION. MY STORY.
This blog was opened in March of 2005 as a personal travel blog called EAT AND RUN. I first featured actual food reviews of select restaurants I did for the Philippine Daily Inquirer's The Reviewer Magazine (now defunt. The magazine, I mean). Eventually, it evolved into a discovery blog based mostly on my frequent trips to the City of Manila, the capital city of the Republic of the Philippines and was named Guts. Grit. Gumption.
It has since been renamed SUPERPASYAL to reflect the style of chronicling scenes, places and people in this former Royal city, now dubbed affectionately as, well, The City of our Affections by its residents and those who may not be living within it but are enthralled and in-love just the same with this city's vibrant life, wonderful history, its rich past and its hopeful future.
In English, SUPERPASYAL means quite literally as super travel or someone who does a lot of travels, although travel does not really come very close to what pasyal means. Maybe tour or jaunt would be more like it. The Spanish word paseo is actually the closest, har har! At any rate, welcome and enjoy your stay!

ABOUT SUPERPASYAL
This is an attached weblog to RADIOACTIVE ADOBO. This is my adventure blog. Since i don't get to go about often because of what I do, this will be updated only when I have the chance to go anywhere outside my work area and my house. I also have started to travel outside Manila and I have posted photos and stories here for all of you to enjoy and hopefully learn from.
This blog also loosely patterned after a famous travel blog but with the distinct Manila twist. Manila, after all, is a city like no other - it has it charms and its equivalent quirks. The people are generally warm, but can be surprisingly rude (or extremely nonchalant) if you don't know how to tread lightly.

The people are generally warm, but can be surprisingly rude (or extremely nonchalant) if you don't know how to tread lightly.
Here we will try our best to document snippets of this great city's every day life - its stories, its rumors, its unusual sights and sounds (and smell, if need be!) - things that can easily become tomorrow's urban legends though not necessarily the scary kind.
To a city that has a great past, a colorful present, and an - uhm - unforseeable future, we dedicate the things we have seen and heard in Manila. Once again, welcome and Mabuhay!

Oh wow! Thank you so much for putting me in your recent entry! What an honor indeed! Thanks for dropping by this site!
Dylan
Hi Dylan, you should be commended for writing beautiful and informative entries...and thanks for posting as well on my blog...
~el cineasta
Hello Dylan. Bumisita lang po. I love your pictures. You make Manila beautiful, nakaka-homesick tuloy...
LIW
hey!
nice shots and stories...the same things my friends and I are doing just wandering around manila if we can't go out of the big city. Was planning to re-visit some places you mentioned here to take pictures as i'm also trying to learn how to shoot better pics...
tito
Dylan,
Thanks for the compliments. Regarding the link, sure bakit hindi? I'll do the same.
LIW
TITO: Sounds wonderful! Kakainggit. I normally go out alone. :-) I thing to remember in taking photos at night especially if lights are on all over the place anyway, put off your flash. Allow the mood to be captured as it is :-)
LIW: Thanks! I'm doing the same today.
ALEQ: Thanks po! I always visit your site and leave comments via my film blog PINILAKANG TABING.
dylan, i really like your web log!!! hey, fix your date. i dont think its showing properly :)
Thanks, iFred. Never mind the date. The space is constrained by the template itself. I might move it somewhere where it fits.
Nice blog(s)!
I linked "eat and run" to my blog.
(filipino blogs)
Sidney! Ha ha ha! I totally enjoyed your photos! Will link your blog as soon as I am able. :-)
Cheers!
I think there is something wrong with the dates in your blog.
Entry of March 28, 2006 ?
I get a bit confused :-)
I accept the challenge to run, eat ... and drink !
No, no mistake at all. Since I do not know how to make my welcome entry remain up there ALL THE TIME, i thought maybe i'd post it using a future date. As with all the entries below it, everything's up to date :-)
...and drink, huh? That can be arranged, :-)!
Muy buen blog.
Felicitaciones
Es un placar poder visitar y comentar en tu blog.
Besos
Hi, really nice blog. Thanks for explaining why you have it dated march 2006.
My friends and I put up our collective blog with pictures of places we eat, travel to. Been doing that for three years, but this is our first year to post pics. Adds a new dimension for sure.
Love the tshirts by the way, pity that they're sold out on some of the designs and phasing out the otehrs.
Eden, Marcela, C. Jordan and Mila Tan, thanks for dropping my blog. will update as soon as i am able!
Cheers!
Happy new year!
hey. nice one. can i link you up in my blog? thanks.

It does gets updated more often than the Radioactive Adobo, he he!
hi citizen, interesting posts! i'm bloghopping and just checking your blogsite. Keep the blogs rolling!
Hi Dylan, my first time here. I enjoyed reading your posts. Boy, I miss Philippines! Each one of your pictures tells a story by itself. It has so much to tell about our lives. I like it!
P.S. May Cheding ka pa ba? Pahingi naman... miss ko na peanuts ng native land ko. Maayong adlaw! :-))
Welcome, Ms Joy from Paris! Thanks for visiting. Naku, wala na pong Cheding, hehe! Sa Paguwi nyo na lang po! :-)

Greetings from OC, Dylan! Been reading Pinoy travel blogs and stumbled into your blog! Read most of them and thanks for pointing out Rustan's from your previous post.
This is a blog that every Filipino is proud of.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks, John! Btw, where is OC? :-)
Thanks for that Anonymous! I am not worthy...
Dylan
Dylan, OC is Orange County in Southern California. Anyway, I enjoy your blog. I grew up in Paranaque and spent my childhood years in Makati. By January, I'll be able to come back home and explore the Philippines. Any tips/info you could give me about Pampanga?
Here's my email - OCjpr@yahoo.com
MANY THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL PICTURES. IT MAKES ME REALIZE HOW UNIQUE AND LOVELY THE PHILIPPINES IS. MABUHAY ANG MGA PINOY MABUHAY!!!
John, hey! Thanks for that info re OC. Didn't occur to me the first time. Pampanga is best visited during the Holy Week. If you're not into bloodshed, you can always view the ship-like carrozas of San Fernando. We've lost a lot of food institutions because of the opening of SM (they haven't moved into it) but I suppose there are still places you can visit in the provincial capital. Museums? There's one in Clark and Angeles City. You can also opt to refresh yourself in the cool streams of Mount Arayat (if they still flow, that is). Old houses are still everywhere - very grand and very lonely, waiting for a good photographer to record their stories. :-)
Dheena: Thanks for visiting! I hope to post new photos within the week. :-)
- Dylan
nice blog here. very interesting, especially the photos. what type of camera are you using?
Hey, dude. I am using an ordinary point-and-shoot camera, a Casio Exilim EX Z750. At 7.1 megapixels, it is something you might want to bring along on your trips (and you seem to have many).
I already saw the 10 megapixel version. Very slim!
god, we are using the same cam but mine is only 5 megapixels. no wonder my photos do not come out as good as yours. anyway, i should be keeping a tab on your blog for those photos. :) ciao bella!
The megapixels don't really matter much. Higher mp take up so much of your memory space.
My shot of the fu dog in Sta Cruz was taken uding a 2 mp camera, but it was a Canon.
Just right lighting, know when to or not use yoour flash, and finally, befriend this guiy called Photoshop :-)
I like your blog tsong. Nice... nakaka-home sick :)
Señorito, maraming salamat po! I enjoyed reading your new entries!
you take great photos! i like your blog :o)
Chistine, thanks so much for dropping by! Pareho lang tayong taga LP :-)
Nice blog, Dylan. Was it the great Nick Joaquin who dubbed Manila as the City of Our Affection?
Nice pics, too. Feast for the eyes. Your pics make me miss Manila all the more.
Keep it up.
hi there! stumbled upon your blog and boy, am i glad! you take really good interesting photos - showing us what we see but don't actually look at in the rush of our daily lives. keep up the good work! ;)
Ribbitus, you are more than welcome to share my images and experiences of Manila.
Do visit often!
Dylan
p.s. I cant seem to open your blog.
Toto, yes you are correct. Dear old Nick. Hey, loved your blog. Makes me want to resurrect my film review blog.
Dylan
Hey Dylan.
Thanks for visiting my blog. And thanks for the kind words.
Did you see my first two posts re. my favorite films? Please do take a look and tell me what films I missed.
BTW, Do you like the works of Nick Joaquin (a.k.a. Quijano de Manila)? I had a strange encounter with him several years ago. I'll probably write about it one of these days.It's within your territory because it happened right at the heart of Nick's beloved city of Manila: on Rizal Avenue.
Toto:
Oh, wow! I can't wait to hear (read) that story. :-)
Dylan
Hey Dylan. Thanks for your comments on my blog. I've already responded to your two comments (re. Scariest Fims and Tokyo Story posts). Check them out.
Hi Dylan! Nice blog! I really miss that place so much! I remember 15-20 years ago that my late mom and I always go to that place every Thursday afternoon.
nice blog, great pics, makes me HUNGRY!!!
kalagu ning blog mu!
spanx!
(a TH ditak/bagya half-breed cabalen!)
Spanx! Kumusta?
Thanks po sa pagdalaw!
Nice shots! but wait...bakit March 2007... :-)
thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment, dylan. nice to know there are actually people who read my blog, hahaha. pasyal ako uli sa blog mo soon.
Oggie, thanks for reciprocating the visit. Will link you up.
galing talaga ng mga photos!
maigas i miss home! these are amazing pictures!
You really have a good eye for photography! I love the pix that you take the exposure and composition are mostly dead on !
I was wonderin if one can tape the flash unit with a magic tape (white/translucent) to diffuse the harsh flash lighting ? I try ko din ito. :)
You have a good eye for pictures talaga. And you seem to know how to use your camera rather than leave everything to 'auto mode' :)
salamat salamat sa post! cheers!
ok dito ah.. baka may matutunan pa ko sa maynila pag dumalaw ako dito.. probinsyano kase akong wala masyadong alam kung hindi edsa.
hey, salamat sa pagbisita sa travel blog ko. thanks sa mga nice words. dami mo na palang posts sa blog mo. one year pa lang akong nagboblog. marami akong pictures since i was using my dad's slr camera (bata pa ako), and also videos. kaya lang masyadong marami to post. kaya puro new stuff na lang. :) i enjoyed visiting your blog. i hope you enjoyed visiting my blog too.

Hello.. Nice Blog...
Love Adventures so much
Hi Dylan,
It's Karina. We met in Cebu a long time ago while we were still medical students. This is a beautiful blog you have. Anyway, I am a contributor for this e-book advocacy blog based in Washington,DC called teleread.org. A non-profit. We have readerships all over the world and the contributors are from diverse backgrounds. My bottomline is this: to bring attention to bringing more books to the Philippines especially now with the boom of e-books. My entries will be introduced soon, just finalizing some specifics. I am now based in Houston, TX. I'd like to write about the presence (if any) of e-books in the educational systems in the Philippines (and/or the possibility ), including the usability of these books esp. in schools, and I am now starting to do "online informal interviews" with people who may have something to say on this. Be it the presence, possibility of using e-books with K-12 education over there. Upon reading on your background with science books for grade schoolers, I would really like to know what you think? If you're up to it, you may email me at thestoryofhealing (at) mac (dot) com. And we can start from there.
Thanks and all the best!
Karina
Hi!
I so envy you in your adventures and travels around the world! Hope you could visit and contribute travel stories in the Philippines here too:
www.travelinphilippines.com
Cheers!
Hi Karina! Sorry of the supe late reply. I've been so busy lately! Will find time to write you, promise.
Joie, I've been to your blog before. You should get paid doing all that work!
hi! love your blog.. i'm linking you.. hope it's ok. loove the photos! :)
hey, great travel blog you have here. Do you mind if I'll link you up?
I've joined lomomanila over the internet but I'm not a very active member yet.. I'd love to be a better lomographer.. ow.. but as of today, I still suck.. haha. I guess more practice would do me good. About the graphics, do you mean the emoticons? I got them all over the net.. just type "kawaii" and the websites where I found them would pop up..
i got here thru ferdz.
and i was intrigue by this entry's date but you later explained, kaya naman pala. hehehe.
you make Manila look like its old glory. great job with the camera.
