Elba is not a new name for me. My mom (and dad) has chosen the brand when I requested for an oven when I fell inloved in baking during College years. That was 10 years ago. The sleek black Elba oven is still serving us after so many years of good food from mom, brittle […]
When you are feeling down, tired and restless, you only want to crawl in your bed and relax and think of happy thoughts. Gone are the days when you would call your friend and invite him/her for a talk over a case of your favorite beer; or maybe it does still count – especially if […]
I got more dresses and skirts than jeans in my closet. It is a fact. I grew up wearing dresses, that I even looked forward to wearing my very first pair of jeans. But my liking for jeans never lasted, I still prefer wearing skirts and dresses – even before dresses and minidresses became the […]
“Maalat daw ang hotdog ni Aljur” (“Aljur’s hotdog is salty”), my mom told me as soon as she opened the door coming from the market last Thursday morning. I asked her with a confused, “huh?“. She told me it was the headline of one of the tabloids she saw from the newspaper stand. She was […]
Last Wednesday morning, March 18th, I went straight from the office to Manila Peninsula Hotel to attend the Bounty Fresh (pioneer in vacuum-sealed chicken) Chic Moms’ Club event. Going to Makati was such a struggle. When I got to Manila Peninsula and signed at the registration, I was amazed by the mood inside the Salon […]
When I hear the name Petra, what comes to mind is the character from an old Tagalog movie – a funny loud gay which transforms into a horse. But Petrang Kabayo is a thing of the past, the new Petra is flooding the walls of my Facebook Home Page with so many likes and shares, […]

I do not know about you, but everytime I eat junk (chips, chocolates, and more chips and chocolates) during my cheat days (which is I think everyday), I always combine and eat chips (usually potato chips) with chocolates. I eat chips and munch them bite after bite, then do a little break by eating some […]
I know that hotels and restaurants would be crowded and fully reserved during Mother’s Day so I decided to take my family in Manila Pavilion Hotel to try the International Cuisine Buffet at Seasons. People might be feasting in Spiral, 7 Corners, Corniche, Cafe Ylang Ylang and Heat; but we had the spacious dining of […]
Time to drink more coffee after a sweet dessert from Cara Mia Gelafeteria. We went back to Promenade and got curious with the new coffee shop beside Starbucks (the former ground floor for Fully Booked). My friend’s sister suggested that we try this coffee place as it serves coffee with cheese! There was a long […]
