What the ….??

Saw this while stuck in traffic earlier. I wonder what they're serving in there?   Food with feelings?  A meal with free companion?   Haha!   ... READ MORE

Berdori Jewelry at Greenhills

11.11.2012 by Leah //

We were at Greenhills Shopping Center last week to buy pearl necklaces as gifts.   You all know that Greenhills is the ultimate mecca here in Manila for quality freshwater and south sea pearls and in there you will find rows and rows of stalls selling pearl strands and pearl/diamond jewelry. But there was one store that stood out because it has a "brand name": Berdori ... READ MORE

Green Windows Dormitel

11.11.2012 by Leah //

I almost forgot to tell you about this amazing dormitel that we stayed in Davao last month.  I was there with my boss to attend a conference, and the organization which invited us sponsored our accommodation too. It's called a dormitel because it's a hotel-type dormitory and therefore way cheaper than hotel rates.    Our place is called the Green Windows Dormitel and is ... READ MORE

Hello Kitty London x Marks and Spencer

11.07.2012 by Leah //

My happy purchase last weekend: It's a Hello Kitty body spray from Marks and Spencer!  A bit pricey at P395.00 for a scent that lasts for only half a day but who cares?  It has Hello Kitty and my favorite city in it and I just have to get it for my collection! Check out more of the Hello Kitty products exclusively made for Marks and Spencer here.   ... READ MORE

Durian Pie

11.05.2012 by Leah //

I don't eat durian mainly because of its strong and penetrating odour, but when I tried a Durian Pie during a work trip in Davao City 3 weeks ago, I just couldn't believe it has durian in it. And how could I?  It doesn't smell funny and it looks so heavenly: The taste simply blew me away!   It tastes like a custard pie but distinctly original because of the ... READ MORE

Vanille Cafe & Patisserie

11.02.2012 by Leah //

One of the places we frequent in Cebu is Vanille Cafe & Patisserie for their yummy cookies and chocolate bars. On our recent trip there, my sister-in law, Juvvy, introduced us to their delectable french macarons and now we're hooked! Pretty french macarons on display.  Only P40.00 each. Our picks:  Tablea (brown), Peppermint (green) and French Lavender (purple).   ... READ MORE

Waling Waling Flowers from Davao

11.01.2012 by Leah //

During a recent trip to Davao (for work), my boss and I had a chance to visit this orchids farm that houses the "Waling Waling" - one of the most sought after orchid plant in the Philippines. Vanda Sanderiana - the scientific name for Waling Waling. Waling-waling, an orchid endemic to the Philippines and only found originally in Davao-Cotabato, foothills of Mt. ... READ MORE

Happy Halloween!

10.31.2012 by Leah //

Because today's Halloween, I would like to share with you these really big pumpkins I saw in Davao City last week: If only the pumpkins weren't 15kg heavy I would have taken one home to Manila. Tomorrow I'll tell you more about this place in Davao where I found the big pumpkins.  It was teeming with orchid blooms of various colors and sizes.   It's like finding a ... READ MORE
