Congratulations are in order for the Philippines' very own Ariella Arida for winning 3rd runner-up in the Miss Universe 2013 pageant. It's quite a feat to be the only Asian in the Top 5, and fourth year in a row that we've done it. Ariella placed first in the swimsuit competition but unfortunately it seems her tacky evening gown did her in. Ara did her best to carry it, but the color and the material was far from queenly. We would have thought it came straight out of the bargain racks of Divisoria. (Photo courtesy of ... Continue Reading...

Avid beauty watchers can't wait for the wee hours of Sunday, November 9 (about 2am) when Miss Universe 2013 will be telecast live from Crocus City Hall in Moscow, Russia.

A lechon belly recipe for Christmas
Excuse me. I simply had to drool when I saw the roasted pork belly display at this new resto called Bellychon in Greenbelt 1. The skin looked so crispy, the meat so tender and it just reminds of the coming holiday season when the family tables will be festive and overladen with food. There's just something about lechon which reminds one of a joyous Christmas in the Philippines! The taste test didn't disappoint. A rice meal with a generous serving of lechon for P120? bring it on! I think this roasted pork belly originated among the South-based purveyors ... Continue Reading...
