I was in Cebu last June to visit my family there and to spend quality time with my nephew Liam, who is now 5. What I thought would be a weekend of "catching up" activities with him turned out to be full of drama because we argued (a lot!) while playing games! He is naturally competitive, and so am I! Haha! We are still trying to resolve our 'little' conflict. I have ... READ MORE
Holiday Highlights {2015}
For the first time in many years, I started my Christmas preparations late. As in really late. If not for our week-long break due to the APEC summit held in Manila last November, I wouldn't be able to start wrapping gifts. Swamped with work and project deadlines, I skipped decorating our apartment for Christmas. I thought I'll have to forego Christmas shopping as ... READ MORE
No-Bake Summer Dessert Recipes with Lemon Square
The unforgiving summer heat has made it difficult for AJ to resume his baking experiments, which is sad because I do like to munch on his chocolate or butter cake after dinner to cap my evening. And now that we are hitting 37-38 degrees Celsius this summer, I need cold sweets too + lots of water to keep my body from collapsing from the terrible heat. With AJ’s baking ... READ MORE

#MerryCremas2014 with Alaska Crema
Like in the past years, I shopped for Christmas gifts as early as September, and wrapped everything by November (well, almost!) so that when December kicked in, I only have to busy myself filling our weekend calendars with get-togethers, while experimenting in the kitchen for new dishes to serve during our family’s Christmas and New Year celebrations. So when Alaska invited ... READ MORE
Food Post: Le Miel Cafe
Dessert is probably the most important stage of the meal, since it will be the last thing your guests remember before they pass out all over the table. ~William Powell So true. The last stop of our recent food trip at Greenfield District was the one I remembered the most - because of the desserts! After having consecutive lunches at Habib Persian Cuisine and Brown's ...

Food Post: Brown’s Gourmet Cafe
Celebration lunch at Brown's Gourmet Cafe. AJ and I were invited to try out selected food establishments at The Portal and The Hub, two (2) of newest dining/retail zones to open at Greenfield District. I've not checked out this place until last Saturday, so imagine my surprise when a saw a new city brimming with excitement and lots of potential! The Portal is a ... READ MORE
The Good Stuff #6
It's been a while since I last wrote about food, and it's not because I have ran out of food discoveries to share. I guess I got too comfortable instagramming my food and sharing it real time, instead of making an effort to write about it in the blog. And because I'm not creative at all when it comes to captioning my Instagram photos, I would leave out a lot of details that ... READ MORE
