Miss Universe 2013: our Top 5
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. I won't be up so early to watch the pageant so I will probably just wake up to announcements in my social media feeds about who the winner is :) The good news is that the Philippines' very own Ariella Arida is emerging to be a heavy favorite in the world's most prestigious beauty tilt, even winning the title Ice Princess in a pre-pageant contest. The pressure is up because Venus Raj in 2010, ... Continue Reading...
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...

In the meantime, it's only $310 for the rest of Southeast Asian routes like Bali, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Saigon, Yangon, among others. A comparison we made ... Continue Reading...
Big Buddha + Ngong Ping cable car HK
I love it that everything runs smoothly in Hong Kong. After the hardship of going up, going down the mountain could only get better with well-paved trails and signs. The descent also got me closer to looking at the Big Buddha or the Tian Tian Buddha which I only got to admire from the postcards and pictures in the past. This pic even got me closer to the Buddha, but did not take anymore the flight of 268 steps. After the descent, I sort of magically landed in a park where the rest of the tourist civilization was :) In the park, there was a way going ... Continue Reading...
