On the 71st floor of Manila’s highest residential skyscraper, Gramercy Residences, the authority on waxing and hair removal, Strip launched into collaboration with brow expert Browhaus and swimsuit label I Love Koi, a new gift from the Tropics – a new coconut wax. I am telling you, the place was literally hot because it was […]
A blood test might not show blood in my sample, but coffee. Coffee is my second favorite drink in the world next to water. My love for coffee can be traced back to the first time I handled a coffee machine and extracted my first espresso shot. But grinding a coffee, then brewing a fresh […]
I want to be a millionaire, so freaking bad.. so I can get tickets for myself and friends, and see Bruno Mars in his concert in Manila! If I don’t get lucky and win tickets, I can go comfort myself in the theater and watch Rio 2 – and still hear THE BRUNO MARS! There’s […]
Mister Donut recently invited me to visit the Mister Donut Cafe to try their Cookie Butter Collection. The Cookie Butter flavor seems like the must-have spread for toast and pancakes. The sweet-nutty cinnamon flavor works like an addicting potion that got the whole world craving (except me). I got curious about the flavor, but I […]

Bloody-ruby red. It may be one of the most beautiful reds I have.seen when the curtain went up and the set of Full Gallop blinded us with amazement. We were welcomed inside Diana Vreeland’s apartment in Park Avenue, New York. Beautiful set, lovely couch, fashion books and bottles of expensive spirits. Then we heard her […]
I can now blend in the crowd – it’s a wishful thinking. I know I always stand out (and stand tall). But what I meant to say is, I am like most of the commuters now, with earphones and headphones – nodding their heads to the beat of the music and prolly doing a mini-concert […]
When my friend told me there was a Great British Invasion and I was invited to witness it, my heart did somersaults and excitement rushed in my veins thinking of the great UK brand that has come in Manila who sponsored the major event. Lee Cooper. the foremost European brand in denim, made its way […]
It is funny remembering how I placed Japanese cuisine at the bottom of my (favorite) cuisine list. Probably because during the time when I was starting to explore different cuisines, there weren’t much Japanese (and Korean) restaurants in the Philippines.
