Sigh! Chocolate places are sprouting in Manila. This can only be bad for the diet but it's also good since who can resist a heavenly thing like chocolate? There's nothing like choco to tickle our taste buds, boost our energy and rescue us from the doldrums. Now that rainy days are here in this side of the globe, a cup of hot chocolate (or even coffee infused with cocoa) is the ultimate comfort drink. Xocolat is one of the original places in Manila where you can get your chocolate fix. It must be five years old, and I just discovered it recently! Must be because ... Continue Reading...

Update: Cebu Pacific one peso seat sale to all domestic destinations is on! This is from June 10 to June 11, 2010 only.

Jejomar Binay wins as VP; what went wrong, Mar Roxas?
After a neck-and-neck election fight, former Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay is ready to be proclaimed Vice President of the Philippines, succeeding Noli de Castro. We've said before how Binay delivered the biggest upset in the elections, after all he was just a dark horse believed to be trailing the other candidates who had national standing. This news report examines the jejemon Jejomar phenomenon more closely. In the meantime, here's our message to the VP-apparent: "go0d lucK P0 P0wH. Ang yamN-yaMn ng Mkt P0WH.

Floating Island resto @ Makati Med
Funny as it may sound, but the prospect of eating at their in-house resto kept me excited about going to the hospital called Makati Med. Floating Island resto was what kept me primed up for my maternity check-ups (prolly also the reason for my ginormous weight gain, LOL). They serve Lavazza and I would have my coffee here (limited to one cup, at pregnancy). Then the cheap but delish chocolate cobbler at the bakeshop and finally, the house specialties which are really more like lutong bahay. Comfort food in a hospital setting. Do remember, Floating Island is an old ... Continue Reading...
BB cream: make it Dr. Jart!
You read it on the net and all beauty-conscious ladies are talking about it: the latest make-up bag must-have called BB cream (BB is short for blemish base/blemish balm). It's the latest phenomenon from the country which brought us chap chae, Kim Bum, and Boys Over Flowers. Really now, there's no stopping the Korean invasion - from the shows we watch, the food we eat, the clothes we dress up in and how to look good. The BB cream is hot because of its all-in-one benefits. You might not need separate tubes of concealer, sunblock, moisturizer, make-up base and ... Continue Reading...
