Coach Jim Saret on living more & aging less
If you're in your 40s, 50s or even 60s, don't fret. You know what they say these days, 40 is the new 30 (or 20!) Just looking at JLo and Julia Roberts in a two-piece bikini makes me agree :D US-educated sports-medicine expert and athletic-training specialist, Coach Jim Saret of The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition adds that age is really just a number. “One’s chronological age does not necessarily equal one’s fitness age,” he pointed out. “I’ve met people that are 21 years old chronologically but are so sedentary their fitness age is that of a 40 year old. I’ve also ... Continue Reading...
A Venetian Macau hotel experience
A highlight of our recent trip to Macau was our stay at The Venetian. My twin daughters graduated from elementary school last March and this was my treat to them. I now fully understand why this casino complex cum resort & hotel is popular among Asian travellers (or travellers to Asia, for that matter). It's a world unto itself.

On a peak season like summer, there are hordes of people checking in so it pays to come ... Continue Reading...
Old Macau and a porkchop bun
We went to Macau recently and had the smoothest flight via Cebu Pacific. The same guy headed the plane going in and out of Manila - a certain Capt. Florencio. It's been 5 years since I flew international with Cebu Pacific and my good experience will probably make me consider travelling with them to some exotic destinations like Hanoi or Siem Reap. The sandwich they serve is terrible though. I felt bad paying P100 each for something that tasted like cardboard. Needless to say, we left it unfinished. Cebu Pacific flights from Manila to Macau arrive at an unholy hour ... Continue Reading...
Diamond Hotel’s Corniche features Culinaria Capampangan by Chef Sau Del Rosario
Am not much into eat-all-you can buffet these days for the reason that it will make me have Claudine Barretto hips more horizontally-challenged. I broke my fast with the invitation from Diamond Hotel to try their just-launched Filipino food festival at Corniche with the spotlight on Culinaria Capampangan by Chef Sau Del Rosario. Indeed, these words made me vanish dieting from my vocabulary: Kapampangan (certainly my fave cuisine) and Chef Sau. One would be a fool to resist an appointment with this celebrity cook. So there I was lucky to be seated with the ... Continue Reading...
