Baler in Aurora, Province has been on my wishlist of places to go to in the Philippines for sometime. I would silently envy my friends whenever I see them on FB with their tanned bodies, holding their surf boards and enjoying the beach. But fate has a way of making your dreams come true. In my case, I wasn't only able to explore Baler last weekend, we also stayed in the best resort in town: Costa Pacifica. I can't tell you enough how beautiful and picturesque Costa Pacifica is. Its homey, island design blended seamlessly with the natural environment to ... Continue Reading...
Preparing for your kid’s education 10 years ahead
As a responsible parent, I've always believed in preparing for the future. Over the years, I've made it a point to set aside a portion of my income for a variety of insurance products that will ensure my children have something to hang on to in case something untimely or unfortunate happens to me. I do know of some people who don't believe in insurance, but am the opposite. Insurance policies aren't just good for preparing for the inevitable (like your mortality). You can get one for health, pension, retirement or purely for investment. I love that even if nothing ... Continue Reading...
Swift Premium Corned Beef on spotlight at Pio’s Kitchen
I think there was a look of shock from my blogger-friends when I showed up in the doorsteps of private dining resto Pio's Kitchen that night.

It takes that much willpower and motivation to venture anywhere far these days! But people like me will always be guilty of going through great lengths to try a new restaurant and taste good food. Bonus if it's "all of the above." This is what happened ... Continue Reading...

New oatmeal recipes to try: arroz caldo & mushroom risotto
Oatmeal is a good way of promoting healthy digestion and lowering cholesterol in the body. I usually just mix it with hot milk or water then add fruits like bananas for a filling breakfast . A few weeks ago, however, there was a cooking demo conducted by Dong-A Pharma Phils., the distributor of GV Michel Oatmeal of Australia at the Century Park Hotel. The different ways by which the chefs prepared oatmeal literally bowled me over. The oats caldo (oatmeal version of arroz caldo) was so good and the three-mushroom oatmeal risotto made me feel like I was eating in a ... Continue Reading...
