So today, I’m writing this review about my experience with Home Credit. I first heard about Home Credit Philippines from my friend Lisa. She's a typical government employee who knows all the possible loan sources from where she can spend her next salary or bonus. I thought Home Credit was a real estate lending firm but Lisa told me, no! Home Credit is a consumer financing company catering to people with little to no credit history.

Flatiron in Uptown Place Mall BGC : New York-style comfort food
#yummyinmytummy is one hashtag am liking in Instagram lately. The word reminds me of one place I've tried dining in of late: Flatiron Restaurant at the newly-unveiled Uptown Place Mall in BGC.

Coffee making and other classes at the Maya Kitchen this August
Last Saturday, I did something really fruitful because I attended the Barista 101 (coffee making) class at the Maya Kitchen in Makati City. Being a coffee lover, I can't tell you enough how thrilled I was to learn how coffee is prepared in a commercial setting, from operating the machine to making various kinds of coffee drinks. Among these are Americano, latte, cappuccino and mocha. Our able teacher Eric taught us how to operate an espresso machine and how to froth milk for adding to your coffee concoction. But he did also teach us about how to come up with coffee ... Continue Reading...
