Last night, we got to see Miss Supranational 2013 Mutya Datul at the Miss Casino Filipino 2013 grand pageant. She showed off the perfect smile and impeccable form that made her win the world beauty title crown in Belarus. All this time, I've been wondering what supranational means and where Belarus is. Supranational, in simple terms, means "beyond borders" and Belarus is somewhere in Eastern Europe....so there! :) Mutya was with a lone assistant who was carrying this round-shaped LV Damier bag. Turns out the bag was part of Mutya's prize from the ... Continue Reading...

PF Chang’s new menu choices
My seatmate during a recent food tasting session, the esteemed Inquirer columnist Rina Jimenez-David, described P.F. Chang's food as "gentrified Chinese." The description couldn't be more apt. P.F. Chang's cuisine may not be the Chinese food we grew up with but that is exactly its appeal to me.

Chang's, it's different. For one, they don't have "the usual stuff" on the ... Continue Reading...
Benjarong Royal Thai Restaurant
A stay at the Dusit Thani Manila wouldn't be complete without eating at their Benjarong Thai restaurant. So far, I've eaten in Dusit's Tosca Italian Restaurant and UMU Japanese restaurant. The latter remains my favorite but I guess it depends on the person's taste :) The resto has "stately" interiors and evokes formal fine dining. What greets diners upon entering are these attractive, different sized porcelain ware hanging on the wall. Benjarong literally means "five colors." When it comes to the food, honestly am now more biased to the homegrown Thai ... Continue Reading...
Staycation at the Dusit Thani Manila Club Floor
I pass by the Dusit Thani Manila every time I go to Glorietta and have always meant to experience it. During the recent Unboxed 2013 event, Samsung made it possible for me by hosting a short staycation, and I chose my darling daughter as companion. We were there for something like less than 24 hours, but still it was worth it Expectedly, The Daughter loves being in a new environment and jumped & lay on the bed as soon as we got in :) Considering that I was in another hotel a few days before (the Peninsula Manila), the Dusit Club Deluxe room (about 30 sq.m., ...
