I took a leave from work last Friday and flew to Cebu for the celebration my nephew's 3rd birthday. The timing couldn't have been more perfect because I so wanted to check on him (Liam) after a 7.2-magnitude earthquake hit Bohol and Cebu last October 15, 2013. Everything went well during my visit there with my parents (AJ was left behind again because he has work), except ... READ MORE
2-Day Cooking Course for a Noche Buena Feast from Global Academy
Now that I have finished most of my gift shopping for Christmas (can't wait to wrap them all this weekend!), I can start planning for our Noche Buena.

Oh my, this ... READ MORE
Food Post: Bigg’s Diner @ SM Batangas
AJ and I were at Batangas, my mother's hometown, last Sunday for a family get-together. It's become our habit to go to SM Batangas after lunch to escape from the afternoon heat and to have coffee at Starbucks hehe. I have been frequenting this mall for years now, but it was only last Sunday that I saw a Bigg's Diner outlet at the ground floor. I almost screamed when I saw ... READ MORE
Weekend Shopping + Food Trip
If you're following me at Instagram (I am @dbrightspot there), then you've probably observed how sipag I was in updating it since yesterday. That's because I was able to visit my favorite shopping places this weekend and I went home very happy with my loot! This time around, I didn't buy much for myself. I shopped mostly for Christmas gifts. My goal is to finish 80% of ... READ MORE
Baked Yogurt Parmesan Chicken (a melt-in-your mouth chicken dish)
This was our fantabulous chicken dinner last night, paired with pesto macaroni pasta: You all know my not-so-secret-anymore recipe for the pesto pasta (check it out here!) and as I forgot to stock on pasta noodles, we just bought whatever we could find at the supermarket. The smallest pack available happened to be the macaroni noodles, thus the awkward noodles + pesto ... READ MORE
Food Post: Maple @ New East Wing, Shangri-La Plaza
If not for the dinner date / get-together that AJ's college chums arranged last weekend at the New East Wing, Shangri-La Plaza, I wouldn't have discovered Maple and all the good things about it. For one, Maple is the sister company of Pancake House so expect only the best pancakes and waffles here. Highly recommended is their Big Maple Breakfast (P540.00) which AJ and I ... READ MORE
Food Post: Frankie’s New York Buffalo Wings
I am so used to hearing this from my officemates: "You're having chicken again for lunch?". Yes, I really am a chicken person. And my favorite part is, of course, the wings! The reason is simple: it has the most balat (skin) of the chicken which I really love. I also find it to be the most flavorful part of a chicken, maybe cause the meat is not thick, allowing the spices ... READ MORE
Why I will love Bounty Fresh Chicken’s Top Torikatsu
To say that I like chicken katsu is an huge understatement. I LOVE this dish and it's on top of my favorite Japanese dishes. My favorite katsu, so far, is the Chicken Katsu Set from the House of Yabu. This is my signature order, and I always look forward to enjoying their panko-coated chicken breast that's very tender and juicy inside, and dipped in their signature katsu ... READ MORE
