Someone like me who's been house-hunting can't help but toy with the idea of living in the great suburbs. Condos and other developments in the heart of Manila are definitely out as an option for me; it makes me cringe that building permits for new high-rises are being issued without regard for urban planning and the over-congestion already taking place. In all possibility, I will be buying a home in the outskirts because I still want my garden, a view of trees and a white picket fence. The suburbs may be a long drive if you work in Manila but it pays to fast-track ... Continue Reading...

Surely you can do this at home – Kopi Roti’s choco milk toast & Indonesian martabak
Kopi Roti Milk Toast One of the good things about dining out is that you get inspired to cook up stuff at home just because of a food you ate and tasted. Take for example Kopi Roti which I never fail to frequent when am at MOA. It has always been my favorite because of their kopi bun and their kopi with milk is the closest thing to my heaven on earth. Their kaya toast has lately been lacking in kaya but it's still good. Recently, Kopi Roti introduced their assorted toasts - namely the classic milk toast and the milk toast with chocolate. It's one of ... Continue Reading...
Afternoon tea at Bizu, China Palace and other dining treats at MOA
The kids and I have been hanging out of late in Mall of Asia, or MOA in local parlance. Unlike before, I have finally mastered the in's and out's of this gigantic place... but one wing only :P Eating out in any of the restaurants facing the bay is simply superb, parking is free on the boulevard and you will never run out of shops to choose from. There will surely be more people when SM opens its convention center on the other end which is three or four times the size of Makati's World Trade Center. Then, am also excited what the science discovery centrum has to offer ... Continue Reading...

My type of guy, the meme
Got this from Noemi, with major revisions. It's actually something that I haven't discussed here so it's time to sit down and think. What type of guy rocks my world? :P 1. The first thing that comes to mind is sense of humor. It's not only the fact that he can make me laugh to the point that his nostrils are contracting and he's already being corny..it's also being able to laugh at my jokes and yes, even if the joke's already on him. Because my humor can be acerbic sometimes, bawal ang pikon. 2.Two things am OC about: grammar and hygiene. Not that you have to have an ... Continue Reading...
