I simply have to write this since her songs belonged to my generation. Singer Whitney Houston is dead at 48 :( Relatively young for such an impressive talent. A tragic loss, I must say and we condole with her family (specifically her only daughter, Bobbi Kristina Houston Brown) in this moment of grief. As of press time, the cause of her death is still unknown. This is a short Whitney Houston biography via cnn.com : Houston has sold more than 170 million albums, singles and videos over her career. ... Continue Reading...
Nancy Castiglione, Hayden Kho & Vicky Belo
It's a quiet Saturday and I was wondering why there were searches for Nancy Castiglione in this blog. All I remember was taking a picture of her with her son in the 2010 Pampers Babylimpics.I thought she did well making her son eat a fruit like that.

Casa Marcos resurrected at the Burgos Circle
You just know you belong to a past generation called the baby boomers (post World War II) if you remember Casa Marcos. This resto - located in Gilmore, and then Tomas Morato - flourished at a time when today's modern fusion restos weren't even conceived yet. Because the original owner was Spanish ( a pelotari named Marcos de Guisasola), it was famous for traditional Spanish favorites like paella, gambas, the original pugon-baked pan de sal and of course its steaks.
