A surprising turn: I seemed to be more excited with Halloween this year than Christmas which is now 55 days away! Blame it on The Toddler who likes to a) dress up and b) eat candies like there's no toothache tomorrow. Am mostly an onlooker and I really like Halloween for the creative effort and variety behind all the costumes. I can't even imagine how some people make a 'career' out of it, even the adults.Manila's Halloween parties are the most fun there is. For Lucia, the fun started with a Trick or Treat event in my workplace. We just picked out a 'goddess' ... Continue Reading...

Halloween in Eastwood City!
This 2014, we're targetting Eastwood City as the place to celebrate our Halloween holidays. I like its open spaces, specialty shops, assortment of restaurants, not to mention the fact that the whole place is pet- and family friendly! It's particularly interesting that Eastwood is offering Halloween Food Bizarre, where restos offer limited edition Halloween dishes, from now until Nov. 2.

Manila’s cheapest: Erra’s $1 ramen in Malate
I've turned my back on Malate (also known as Manila's tourist belt) a long time ago because it's dirty, crowded, decaying and full of petty thieves. It's still dirty, decaying, crowded and full of petty thieves but since am based here for work again now, I have to psyche myself up to appreciate its 'character' :) For instance, I vowed to myself to explore Malate before more of its old spots are torn down to give way boring malls and real estate developments.
