Yesterday was one for the books: we survived an epic Saturday traffic that it felt like Friday all over again(!). Travel time from Pasay City to Makati took an hour. We made a short stop at Bel-Air Village (via Jupiter Street) for a delivery I have to make (thank you for supporting the Korean-made Nlighten products that I featured here, of which I am a distributor). The plan ... READ MORE
The 2015 Year-End Survey
Thank you Aggie for tagging me! I had fun (and lots of realizations) after filling out this survey. Sobrang late ko nga lang natapos (2016 na!) but I think it's not too late to share this. ************************************* What did you do in 2015 that you’d never done before? Swim with sea turtles at Apo Island in Dumaguete! Did you keep your new year’s ... READ MORE
All-Year Round ‘Cold Spell’ with Le Miel Cafe’s Bingsu
A longer, hotter Manila summer is forecast for this year due to the strong El Niño phenomenon, which means that we should gear up for more trips to the beach and lots of iced dessert! Do you have a favorite summer iced dessert? Mine has always been Razon's halo-halo. That is, until I discovered Le Miel Cafe at The Hub, Greenfield District last year (see related post ... 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
Gingerbread Houses
A (Belated) Merry Christmas to y'all! I hope everyone had a great Christmas celebration! The hubby and I spent Christmas Day at Hyatt City of Dreams, reliving our spectacular Christmas Eve stay there last year. A lot of restaurants have opened since our last stay there (during my birthday early this year); giving us more food choices to explore and discover. As I am ... READ MORE
A Week-Long (Free) Vacation
Where and how did you spend your APEC week vacation? I spent mine mostly at home; taking the days off as opportunity to catch up on cleaning and to do the things that were forever in my to-do lists. It was not purely R&R though; I have to check my office email at least once a day to see if there are urgent matters to attend to, update reports and review our ... READ MORE
Exploring Dumaguete, the DIY Way (Day 2)
We went on a day trip to Apo Island on the second day of our stay in Dumaguete. About Apo Island: Apo Island is a volcanic island covering 12 hectares in land area, 7 kilometers off the southeastern tip of Negros Island and 30 kilometers south of the Negros Oriental capital of Dumaguete City in the Philippines. The name “Apo” was derived from the a Filipino word which ... READ MORE
Exploring Dumaguete, the DIY Way (Day 1)
Thanks to Cebu Pacific's Piso Fare sale last June, AJ and I were able to take a much-deserved 4-day vacation and we chose to spend it in Dumaguete City, the City of Gentle People, but more famously known for the following: Apo Island, Silliman University and the numerous dive and snorkeling site around the province. Another equally good reason to visit Dumaguete is its easy ... READ MORE
