Food. Travel. Bargain finds. Random thoughts. A bright spot for sharing ideas and starting conversations!

Saturday musings on life…

06.15.2013 by Leah //

Just wanna share with you this quote from Paolo Coehlo, one of my favorite authors, about life: Beautiful, isn't it? The letters were hand-stamped by yours truly, thus the unevenness  =) Have a nice weekend everyone!   ... READ MORE

Food Post: Holdak – the REAL Korean Fried Chicken

06.12.2013 by Leah //

A week before we left for Palawan, I received this invitation from HOLDAK, the newest casual restaurant to open in the Philippines that specializes in authentic Korean-style fried chicken. I wasn't able to make it at the Bloggers' Night, though, because I have work. But being the fried-chicken lover that I am, I made sure to check it out the next day (a Saturday) with ... READ MORE

Getting back into the groove

06.09.2013 by Leah //

How's your weekend? Mine was full of catching up - with housework, that is hehe!  I did a major housecleaning yesterday and it felt really good - moving around like I'm having a workout   =)   Which reminds me, I am starting to gain weight already (what with the many food try-out invitations I've been getting!) so I have to seriously start exercising again to burn those ...

A Magical Tour of the Puerto Princesa Underground River

06.08.2013 by Leah //

I've seen the Underground River during my first trip to Palawan in 2006.  But I have no camera back then so everything I remember about our exploration trip at the subterranean river I've committed to memory. That's why I made sure to include the Underground River trip at our tour package in Palawan.  Since Underground River (more formally called as "Puerto Princesa ... READ MORE

Batangas Adobo

06.07.2013 by Leah //

Ever since I learned how to cook I've been trying to 'copy' my mom's Adobo recipe.   She hails from Batangas and her Batangas Adobo is very popular not only among us - her family - but also among her relatives and friends.  It has gained followers too from my office, too, because any left over Adobo we have, my dad turns into Adobo Sandwich, which I then bring to the office as ...

Follow the Sun with a Honda Bay Tour!

06.05.2013 by Leah //

AJ and I spent the whole of Sunday last week at Honda Bay, still at Puerto Princesa in Palawan, where the Honda Bay Tour took us to 2 islands and 1 reef, enjoy a picnic-type lunch of delectable seafood, do kayaking, bike in the waters with an aqua pedal bike, and bask in the afternoon sun while feeding fishes at the beach. We were picked up by our tour guide, Ms. Annie, at ... READ MORE

Palawan South Sea Pearls

06.03.2013 by Leah //

Palawan is popular mainly because of ecotourism, which it promotes so responsibly and enthusiastically.   You won't see mass tourism there, and in exchange, you get to experience being part of island communities that are unspoiled but very much thriving. What you probably don't know about Palawan is that, to borrow this description from Jewelmer, the international luxury ... READ MORE

10 Things I Miss about Palawan

06.01.2013 by Leah //

As promised, here's a sneak preview of our wonderful vacation in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.  It's been 5 days of enjoying the sun, discovering new food and new places, meeting new acquaintances and enjoying rural life.   Everything there is so laid-back AJ and I are now thinking of spending our retirement life there, hehe! Anyway, I could not have done this without the help ... READ MORE
