To all my friends dropping by this site and are surprised by the new look, don't worry you are not alone. Even I had to be surprised myself! I logged on this morning to find that something had changed, and it was for the better. I find this new design oh-so-feminine and oh-so-me, with really comely colors, like one of those lovely diaries I keep that is worth jotting my thoughts into.Changing my blog's appearance has been my dream for months and I am especially touched that a very busy person has taken the time to make my dream come true. There is nothing that ... Continue Reading...
Shanghai Food Without Flying to Shanghai at Suzhou Dimsum
In my quest to find new food discoveries, I like stumbling into places that are off the beaten track... preferably places that have not been written in the lifestyle section of the major newspapers. What is wrong with this you may ask? Nothing really...it's just that some of the restos turn out to be a bigger hype than the dishes they are trying to promote, either because they can afford to hire a publicist or happen to be well-connected with the media. I believe the best gauge for determining whether a place is worthy of your tastebuds is still word of mouth. Such ... Continue Reading...
Love and all that jazz
My friend Gay says I should watch Under the Tuscan Sun. Short of saying that it befits me, she says that it's about a writer (Diane Lane) who's had a string of failed relationships and then meets her very own Prince Charming who lived with her happily ever after.Of course I can only give Gay my traditional eyeroll.

I was just in love with the idea of being in love and all its thousand possibilities. But human nature has its ... Continue Reading...
How To Get A Date Without Really Trying
I texted American Lawyer on impulse last Saturday. He's supposed to be a milestone in my dating calendar since I hadn't met him through a chatroom, Friendster, blind date or my usual circle of acquaintances. He just sort of came up from behind me while I was in a computer store and gave me his calling card, like a casting agent would. It turned out we were almost neighbors. Me : I am so bored and you are such a Republican snob. Him: Hi! I just got back from L.A. I am bored too. An RX would be a live jazz session at Monk's Dream or dancing at Vmar? ...

Things that didn’t make it on the news
I welcome any excuse to get away from the computer for a while and so it was a blessing when me and the bosses attended the Manila Overseas Press Club Gala Night in the august halls of Malacanang last Wednesday. What transpired during this event made it on the news the next day but still, it's worthwhile to go for the chance to see the much-maligned President up close, hobnob with the so-called "power personalities" and then witness the absolute look of boredom on everyone's face because dinner has not been served at 9 p.m.To begin with, it's hard going to the Palace ...
