A play on wood, bricks and metal with colorful frames and warm lighting. That was the over-all look that greeted me in the new Greenwich Store in SM North EDSA – the Greenwich Pizzeria! The store was crowded when I arrived (too bad, I missed the JOHN LLOYD CRUZ) who were in the Pizzeria to […]
When Magnum arrived in the Philippines, it hit a strong bullet and impact to the hearts of many Filipinos. My first taste of the Magnum ice cream was in Indonesia. I was not easily swayed by the crowd who worship the ice cream bar like a hero that would save a meal. I am not […]
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 […]
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 […]

When my friend sent me a mobile message asking what restaurant should we try in Shangri-la East Mall – I replied Italian, Balboa; or Tonkatsu Kitchen or Woo Galbi. My friend picked my first suggestion reading me as someone who loves Italian food. Balboa might be a weird name for an Italian restaurant – but […]
It was all white and red when I went inside the Tokyo, Tokyo store in Net Lima Building, the Fort last Tuesday. Red and white lanterns were hanging in the store, and guests came in their most creative interpretation of fire and ice – the only common thing that afternoon was the festive mood. Something […]
I remember the Brown Bag Session I had attended before with a top executive of the company I was working for. One lesson he has shared with us is to celebrate simple accomplishments. I followed his advice and gave it a little twist. I started celebrating life everyday. Goya has the same goals and aspirations. […]
Something unique and delicious were delivered at home last night – and I had to check the guy who handed me the boxes just to make sure he is a pizza delivery guy, and not the Mr. Prince Charming which cupid has sent. I opened the boxes and these what greeted me – heart-shaped pizzas!!! […]
I was hoping the cool weather would extend until late February, but it feels like someone has turned off the big air conditioning unit in Metro Manila. It is starting to warm up again, and I feel the need to drown myself with more water. I love water and I prefer water over carbonated drinks, […]
