img_0547. As you can see in the photo, it was not only my twins' first public appearance , it was also their first time to be interviewed for wacky TV show Wazzup Wazzup! The occasion was yesterday's VIP party hosted by Krispy Kreme prior to the opening of their Greenhills branch tomorrow. At 200 square meters, it is the American brand's first free-standing store in the Philippines and their first drive-thru outlet in Asia so it's definitely something to watch out for.

Positivity principles to live by
Saw this first in Dr. Em's blog and this was how I discovered the group writing project on positive thinking by Kirsten Harrell over at Ipopin.

The week in food: going Japanese, calamares, Conti’s & more
Chili oil & furikake Sunday : Crashed the digs of Benj, our college classmate who's made it in the crazy world of advertising. How do we know he's made it ? Because his condo near the vicinity of Ayala Av is a spacious three-BR affair with all-black furniture, designer speakers and laptops all over the place. Benj's buddy serves us penne pasta with meat sauce and that's when I discover the joys of Japanese chili oil and furikake. I never thought that the lethal combination of these two can transform a drab dish into a fantastic one. Furikake is a type ... Continue Reading...

PBB gals Chix and jenny for Pinoy Big Burger. I love food expos! A foodie shouldn't live without going to one. Luckily, there are a number of such events held in my area every year, and this was my first time to visit the Manila Foods & Beverages Expo ongoing at the World Trade Center till Sunday, June 24. What you can find in these expos: the latest food products, assorted kitchenware, delicacies from the provinces, imported goodies, free samples, and food tasting to the max. The problem with these events is that I always get to buy more than ... Continue Reading...
