Never mind the traffic on Sucat Road. I always find myself in Alabang for this restaurant. During the day, it is a warm, airy bistro with high ceiling that invites you to savor homegrown Chinese food favorites with a twist. At night, the lights get a little darker and you can easily drown in the chatter of friends by the long bar. Okay, some people have this impression that PF Chang's is out of their price point. This is no longer the case as the bistro recently launched their Cheers! cocktail hour plus affordable lunch meals. That's really a bonus for a ... Continue Reading...

Here's something interesting from the mailbox: "Tourism Secretary Ramon R.

Hello Kitty cake, Princess cupcakes & Lucia’s 1st birthday at The Creamery
Our youngest child Lucia celebrated her birthday recently. There's so much to be thankful for her first year: her two front teeth, being able to walk and talk a few words, continuing to be a healthy and a happy baby! We decided to splurge a little on a children's party at The Creamery. Well, I think "splurge" isn't really the word since the venue wasn't a five star hotel. The Creamery is an ice cream parlor at the Mall of Asia and we held the party there because of their reasonable rates which already included the party banner, theme decor, balloon set up, ...

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year … from our house to yours:)
The runup to Christmas went by in a blur. The traffic jams around Manila and the rush to buy gifts are the very things I dread about the season. But somehow I managed to dodge the pressure that goes with all these and was even excited to buy gifts for everybody. Overall, it's been a good year for the family and it would just be selfish not to share and remember people, even with little things. Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com. I remember being pregnant with our daughter Lucia last year and see how so much of our life has changed with her arrival. ... Continue Reading...
