My kids must be happy to go back to school this year. My bento obsession has led me to buy all sorts of lunch boxes imaginable. There are strictly no bento lunch sets for sale yet in our shores - unless you buy abroad or shop online - but I think you just have to use existing containers in all sizes to assemble your bento kit. My bento lunch box addiction led me to retrace my footsteps to Japan Home Center in a major mall. This is a place which prides itself of its Made in Japan knick-knacks, and almost everything is P88 or less - like those 100 Yen stores in ... Continue Reading...

(Photos courtesy of PAGCOR's Corporate Communications Department) If you're looking for an entertainment extravaganza that you will truly be proud to show to your kababayans from the provinces, balikbayans and tourists, then bring them over to Wanders which is now on an extended run at the PAGCOR Grand Theater in Paranaque City. As a PAGCORian, I can't help but be proud that there is a show like this in our midst, the Philippine version of the world-famous performing troupe Cirque du Soleil.

My Sony Ericsson K800i dies on me….
I was ready to sing hallelujah's to my Sony Ericsson K800i when its much-vaunted Cybershot camera died on me a few weeks ago. Died. Kaput. Gone. These days when I press on the camera button, all that displays is a vast space of nothingness. Whatta pity since this Sony Ericsson K800i model is supposed to be my favorite cameraphone of all time. It's been my trusted companion from Quiapo to Baguio to Batanes. It has taken snapshots of everything that's caught my fancy, from a newly-steamed dimsum to sunsets to my kids laughing in glee at the sight of ice cream. ... Continue Reading...

When rice prices are high, eat kamote…
My Sweetheart recently sent me an online delivery of kamote, in memory of that yummy kamote cue we tasted in Batanes. Come to think of it, the focus is now on considering other alternatives for our daily staple, rice, whose prices are rising by the day. If you do the marketing for your household, you will really feel the pinch since P34 is now the lowest price per kilo, whereas before that will buy you the high grade, premium variety already. The benefits of eating kamote (sweet potato) cannot be underestimated. I do know of friends who go on a diet and just eat ... Continue Reading...
