Pilot Episode

Dear kumag,

Some people adopt kids. Some get dogs. In our we case, we have the to do list. If we are not doing anything, we are looking for things to do. So shortly after that we would be doing something. And its not a dvd marathon – this is interesting but in nearly three years of being together we only manage to do this a few times. We don’t stand by the sidelines vicariously experiencing other people have fun. We are having a piece of the action.

The to do list of - taste this, buy that, have this, go to that, get out of this, be that. And so we have been running around the metro like the energizer bunnies that we are. We prided ourselves to have more mileage walking and commuting than anyone else. On a regular mall day, we go to four malls, but on a not so regular day that can go as high as eight malls. All in the pursuit of the perfect color, size and fit, not to mention the price. We explore restaurants, hole in the wall eats, hotel buffets and week end markets. Thus; the mileage.

We have always been opinionated. In our heads we are the authority. The to-go-to if other people would like to eat, buy this, buy that. With our consumeristic lifestyle we haven’t really been able to perfect spending wisely. More of check out reviews, go to the place follow the instinct. Third party sources hasn’t been always correct (per our experience), too kind or too critical. We often wish that there is that omniscient blog to sway us. To challenge us. To warn us.

After the bill and after the fact we sit down and dissect. Review. Discuss. What the eff was that expensive meal about. Why the buzz? What made it overrated? Or this place should be more popular. That place should lower their prices,make their servings bigger, and make their crews move faster. This place will be big next year or this will shutdown in a minimum of 3 months.

We have long joke that each place that we visited should get our stamp. To those few that made the cut, must get the kumag and afro red rbbon of excellence.

We have pranced across the metro and we only have pictures to show for it. Pictures speak for themselves and it needs us to weave the stories. Honestly, wallposts feels like posting it for show.

So we mark the giant corkboard with pushpins, strings, and our pictures plus the article. A blog. Its going to be comprehensive.

This is going to be our eco-friendly adventure book. No extra paper, no wasted ink. Just bytes of fun and likes.

Hope you like it.
