My 5-part Tokyo travelogue is still getting the most number of visits and search hits in the blog (thank you!), and this made me realize that I left one more good stuff to share about that trip - the shopping and my shopping finds! First off, I didn't shop much. I enjoyed the window shopping, though hehe! In doing so, I was able to compare prices of the Uniqlo and Muji ... READ MORE

My Holiday Feast
Happy New Year, dear readers! I just reported back to work today (after taking a 2-week holiday vacation) and was relieved to find my In-tray to be still visible (meaning, it's not swamped with memos and other paperworks). I had no problems getting my work groove back because I've rested well during my vacation, and I think a lot of people are still on holiday break so ... READ MORE

Chocolate Favorites
After writing about the Royce Nama Chocolate, I was inspired to create this collage with all the chocolates I currently love. They're not much, to begin with, because I am not really what you call a Chocoholic. But I love having chocolates once in a while, and always with a cup of strong black coffee =) Here are my current favorites: Royce Nama Chocolate. My ... READ MORE
Life is a box of Royce Nama Chocolate
We've had this box of Royce Nama Chocolate Au Lait in our freezer since last Christmas (thanks, Mae Anne!) but we only got to open it tonight. Much has been about this luxurious chocolate from Japan, with its trademark velvety smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture. And the chocolate? Simply excellent. It reminded me so much of the movie "Chocolat"; of Vianne's ... READ MORE
