I’ve known TAPS since my elementary years and have grown used to the home style cooking TAPS has to offer. I would often head to TAPS with some friends after late night gimiks to grab some food and wait till our heads aren’t spinning anymore or just have a quick breakfast of anything that ends up in silog. The place is quite popular and I’ve yet to meet a Dabawenyo who haven’t heard of Taps. There are five branches of TAPS in the city, all located in places people frequently pass by so it’s quite hard to miss. 
From the usual tapa (cured meat)+ silog dishes, Taps’ menu offers other silog dishes as well.The usual breakfast fare like hotdogs, bangus, tocino is translated into hotsilog, bangsilog, tosilog, and many more. Some may scoff at the oil laden meal but I don’t mind…the meals are yummy enough without putting a big dent in your wallet.

Unang nilabas sa pugilistqueen.letseka.info, in-edit ng konti at lumabas sa aking column sa himati (road to dissent) noong disyembre 2007. Eto ang original na artikulo, walang dagdag, walang bawas.
4 months after leaving the urban world abruptly k finally found the time to text me and some of her friends here in up mindanao. i remember still the last time we talked. it was cold and strained. so unlike the easy camaraderie we used to exude that made people in school call us supertwins, the inseparable pair, or sisters. i didnt mind. we were quite inseparable. though different as night and day we got along really well. k loves the limelight, the people and is too open, while i am the exact opposite. if i had the choice i would rather not surround myself with boisterous crowds or have meetings with administrators especially if they’re from up. you want to laugh, talk about politics and its intricacies: she’s the one. i on the other hand prefers to be alone, am very moody, and tries to avoid the limelight like hell.
but we got along quite well. yes, we argued like shrews at times, usually about my insensitivity and refusal to work with the downtown left peeps and her stubbornness. she wore me out with her incessant chatting of everything around her– the dogs, her lovelife, her dreams and ambitions…her frustrations (including me, hehe.) i wore her out with my refusal to talk or get involved with anything that involves immense sensitivity and emotions.
