AJ has been telling me about Venice Piazza at McKinley Hill in Taguig for a time, and he took me there one rainy Saturday so we can stroll around the piazza and check out the sights. Venice Piazza, as it name implies, looks like a small city square ("piazza") with a mall that houses a variety of restaurants. It also has a paved open space that's perfect for events, ... READ MORE
Jubilee Edition Healthy Back Bag
I love my purple Healthy Back Bag (HBB) Baglett so much that when this limited edition Flag Bag came out - a nod to the recent Jubilee celebration of Queen Elizabeth - I know I have to get it! It was a perfect opportunity, really, because I've been meaning to buy a bigger version of the Baglett - the HBB Small - that I could bring when I travel for work. Having the Union ... READ MORE
Food Post: The Forgettable Taparazzi
I was craving for a good tapsilog (a meal composed of beef tapa, fried egg and garlic rice) last week and AJ suggested that we try this restaurant along McKinley Hill that serves mainly tapsilog meals. It's called Taparazzi, and I really pinned my hopes at this name which gave me the impression that they serve really, really good tapsilog (better than Rufo's). The ... READ MORE
Food Post: Amici Don Bosco
From its humble beginnings at the St. John Don Bosco compound in Makati City, Amici Don Bosco became a household name with its Italian pasta dishes, pizzas (that are baked in brick ovens) and gelatos that are simply to-die-for. People also raved about their cafeteria-type environment and self-service concept. The servers will only bring you the plates and the food; you ... READ MORE
Dios Mabalos, Sec. Jesse
I was at Naga City the other day for work and we took this opportunity to pay our final respect to Sec. Jesse Robredo, who passed away last August 18, 2012. Much has been said about his humility, simplicity and silent achievements as Mayor of Naga City for 19 years. It was evident during our visit how much Naga loves him - every Barangay has placed a tarpaulin with their ... READ MORE
Definitely Maybe
August 30 marked the 18th anniversary of the release of Oasis' debut album, Definitely Maybe. This album catapulted the band into its Beatles-like status, and went to sell over 8 million copies worldwide. NME named it as the "greatest album of all time". I learned about Oasis and its first but already critically acclaimed album when I saw the music video of "Live ... READ MORE
Bulgogi Brothers
I'm not exactly a fan of Korean cuisine, and it was only recently that I discovered how flavorful the food were, and how surprisingly easy they are to prepare. I've done Korean Chicken Wings and Chap Chae - both of which turned out to be really good and instant favorites (my mom really loved my Korean Chicken Wings). So I was really excited when my brother invited us to try ... READ MORE
Weekend Loots: Books and Saizen Items
Look what we've brought home from the weekend sale at Robinson's Place in Manila: Hardbound books from Booksale! Only P60 each (around $1.40 each)! Nikolai Grozni's Turtle Feet has long been in my book list and it was a pleasant surprise to find it among the many hardbound books on sale at Booksale. And as I have been a big fan of Anita Diamant since I read The Red ... READ MORE
