It is starting to warm up in Manila. A few days ago, I was almost ready to bring out my gloves and winter clothes from the closet. But then I know, this weather is not the coldest I had experience. I tried to recall the time when I felt so cold – almost freezing. Down […]
My mom and Cheska Garcia-Kramer have something in common. They both don’t want their daughters to have bruises and scars. I have to be thankful of my mom as I don’t have (noticeable) scars (especially in my legs). She is always protective of us when we were younger. Or maybe she used a special ointment to cover […]
Last week, my good friend brought us to the new restaurant in Kapitolyo called Open Kitchen (by 48 Concepts). He promised he would treat us to dinner for his birthday (which happened 3 months ago!), and yes, he did keep his promise. We were a happy threesome! I know that the Open Kitchen would soon […]
I got hundreds of travel stories that I have not shared and published. The memories are kept in the external drive like unresolved cases waiting to be revisited. It is not easy to publish a travel story ( – especially when traveling!). Most often, you just want to shut down your computer and enjoy the experience. But […]
What is good to have in this cool weather? Well, aside from some good loving, a hot bowl of ramen would be nice. We found an interesting bowl in the newly opened Santouka Ramen in Promenade, Greenhills. Side note story – It has been ages the last time I was in Promenade, and I am […]
I have a little confession. I had been unfaithful. And we did it in Figaro Coffee shop. Before you even call me names. I have to be clear – this has nothing to do with an individual, a lover or a man or woman. I felt that I had been unfaithful to the coffee shop […]
What is the one thing that you hate about facial care treatment? For me, it is the agonizing pricking that is part of every facial care package. This is the very reason that I sometimes hate going to skin care clinic for my monthly facial treatment (I do it, once every two or three months! […]
Two emails came in my personal inbox yesterday from familiar names. People I haven’t connected with for months. The names I only knew from the workplace. One is from an assignee/executive from the previous company I worked for (actually, he is not my former assignee, but the manager of the assignee I was chasing because of […]
I welcomed the new year differently this year. I had a date. It was my mom 🙂 We watched the Patti Austin – One Heart One Voice benefit show held in Fairmont Hotel, for the benefit of Habitat for Humanity. We actually had an intimate bloggers con with Patti the day before the show – […]
Happy New Year! It is my official entry for 2014. I have been itching to launch blogger, but I thought I would start the year right by doing a little cleaning and de-cluttering. I started with the things that I see – in my room. I am sure you have read alot of articles and lists […]
