I've written two really good chapters for Rajah Versus Conquistador in a cafe called Prelaya by the Joaquins

Perhaps it was because the mobile connection inside was terrible and I had to leave my phone right outside the window

My original explanation was that the place is imbued with the spirit of Nick Joaquin (incidentally, the first of those two chapters was a homage to Nick Joaquin's Summer Solstice - it opens with a foot kissing scene!). I think I'll stick with this explanation.
