Kids’ costumes at Halloween 2014 in Manila

October 31, 2014 ·

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...

Holiday recipes from chef Sandy Daza

December 25, 2012 ·

The warmest Merry Christmas greetings to this site's readers and friends! So how was your celebration? We spent it in Manila like we've done through the years. The traffic and the shopping were toxic.. at one point I wished I was in another time, or another planet. Anyway, here's my half-finished table setting last night. I love Christmas coz of the decor we have to play with! Christmas is truly a big event in the Philippines, but from what I know New Year's here is an even bigger eating affair. We take out all round objects and the family table epitomizes the ... Continue Reading...

Hello 2012 & remembering 2011…..

December 31, 2011 ·

Where I sit, it's less than two hours before we ring in 2012 ... a year referred to with doom by some. Hope not! We remain optimistic and abide by the reference to our Catholic prayer about a "world without end." After the tsunami that hit Japan in March and the damages caused by typhoons Pedring and Sendong in the Philippines, we can only pray that there'd be no more calamities of such magnitude that will visit us in the coming year. As we say hello to 2012, am ready to offer a thanksgiving because 2011 was, overall, a good year. There were hurdles but I'd like to ... Continue Reading...

Merry Christmas / Maligayang Pasko :)

December 25, 2011 ·

So how was your Christmas? It is close to midnight and about to end here in the Philippines though the Christmas tree will be up until January. I love the season (but not the traffic!) mostly because I get a high from seeing all the gaily-decorated lights in buildings and people's houses. Mr. Z took care of the noche buena last night, mostly because I was too tired from working the graveyard shift the night before. We kept it simple on the table: steamed veggies, shepherd's pie and this yummy pineapple upside down cornmeal cake ... ... Continue Reading...
