#MissUniverse2015 winners : Paulina Vega of Colombia is it!
22-year old business administration student Paulina Vega has just been crowned Miss Universe 2015 in Doral, Miami Florida. She is the daughter of a cardiologist and comes from a family of seven siblings. Her body is a wonder and we also wonder at the trivia written in her bio: that she sleeps with her eyes open (!!)

Pauline Vega's photo from miss universe.com: Here's how the Miss Universe Top 5 Question ... Continue Reading...
Scout’s Honor cookie shop at Hole in the Wall Makati

Mendokoro Ramenba
I've written before about how I loved my first slurp at Ramen Yushoken in Alabang so a visit to their just-opened sister outlet in Makati City was in order. Same owners, different name & location. The new place is called Mendokoro Ramenba (or Mindoro Ramen Bar as a joking friend would say). Mendokoro is located in one of the lesser known streets in Salcedo Village which is near the Saturday market. We lined up for 30 minutes because the place wasn't open yet when we arrived. Prepare to queue because the place only has 21 seats. My daughter had the ... Continue Reading...
