After this cold, cold season, the summer will be upon us and you know what this means: majority will be trekking to... THE BEACH! Countless damsels out there will be looking for all kinds of bikinis, summer dresses, sarongs and what-have-you. The FabWrap (yes, this is the name of the label) is just about the perfect coverup in my book. Photo from the FabWrap FB page The FabWrap is a creation of Pole Academy Philippines founder Ed Aniel. Because his daughter was working as an instructor in Boracay, he was toying with the idea of a piece of clothing that's ... Continue Reading...
Bacolod chicken inasal paella using Samsung Smart Oven
Everyday am loving my Samsung Smart Oven (and if you haven't joined my giveaway, please do so now). Yesterday, I tried to deconstruct a version of chicken inasal which is one of my favorite dishes from the City of Smiles. Unfortunately, I only go to Bacolod once in a blue moon. Thankfully, there's the Samsung oven to the rescue whenever I crave for this treat. No live charcoal involved but just as good. After marinating the chicken in garlic, native vinegar, lemongrass, achuete oil and other ingredients, I placed the bits in a heatproof dish, turned on the oven's ... Continue Reading...
Favorite photos from the #PopeFrancisPH visit
In a few hours, Pope Francis ends his historic visit of the Philippines that made headlines around the world and showed the power of the Catholic faithful. Don't judge, but I just stayed at home, watching the event unfurl vicariously on TV and social media. Information overload was certainly rife as it seems everybody out there wanted to be on the scene. Here are my favorite photos from the Papal visit as gleaned from the timeline of my friends: The Manila Hotel rooftop was one of the best places in the city to take in all the action of the crowd below. Tech ... Continue Reading...
In Cebu: the Marco Polo Plaza hotel
The Sinulog Festival 2015 is happening at the same time as Pope Francis' historic visit to Tacloban and Manila.This reminds me that I really have to blog now about my experience at Marco Polo Plaza which I had the good fortune of staying in while covering the US Potato Safari in mid-November of last year. With 24 storeys and 329 guest rooms, Marco Polo is the only hotel in Cebu that's situated on a hilltop. You know what this means: some good views. Loved the room they gave me, which had a tub and all the amenities.But the two beds made me wish I was sharing ... Continue Reading...
Red Ginger 24-hour resto at City of Dreams Manila
Last night found me at City of Dreams again. Bless this place for being a short drive near me :) It was time to see more of the spots that I wasn't able to check out the last time. It was dinner time and we were hungry. The Café at Hyatt City of Dreams Manila had magnificent decor. It was eye-catching all throughout, but the lighting was too dark for what you would expect of a vibrant hotel buffet. As a result, we really couldn't appreciate all the sumptuous food laid out. If this was a mobile phone, it's on energy saving mode, LOL It was even darker in ... Continue Reading...
