Looking back at 2010, looking forward to 2011…….
In retrospect, 2010 was a good year, don't you think? The Philippines had orderly elections and a peaceful turn-over of power. We didn't have weather disturbance in the scale of Ondoy. I can only think of that tragic tourist bus incident in Luneta which made us unworthy of world news headlines. It is an episode that is isolated and doesn't quite happen everyday. On the personal front, there's also so much to be thankful for. On top of this all is the birth of my daughter Lucia and having a wonderful birth experience at the Makati Medical Center. Lucy, now seven ... Continue Reading...
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year … from our house to yours:)
The runup to Christmas went by in a blur. The traffic jams around Manila and the rush to buy gifts are the very things I dread about the season. But somehow I managed to dodge the pressure that goes with all these and was even excited to buy gifts for everybody. Overall, it's been a good year for the family and it would just be selfish not to share and remember people, even with little things. Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com. I remember being pregnant with our daughter Lucia last year and see how so much of our life has changed with her arrival. ... Continue Reading...
New York Pizza Palace launches in Makati City
"Thirty pounds lighter" ago, I made my first trip to New York City. I cherish this picture when the World Trade Center was still proudly standing. Just walking in the city's busy streets gives one an indescribable high. Until my feet got firmly rooted in this melting pot called Asia, I always thought that you made it if you conquered New York, New York! It's so geographically distant from where I am now but the good memories remain. Riding a limo from the airport, staying in Greenwich Village, hanging out, walking by Brooklyn Bridge..... here's another favorite ... Continue Reading...
Vietnamese cooking class @ Hanoi Cooking Centre
Here's what I consider the most enjoyable thing I did on this trip: take a Vietnamese cooking class at the Hanoi Cooking Centre for US$45. As they say, after you fall in love with the food, you gotta learn how to make 'em. I enrolled at the Hanoi Cooking Centre because of the good reviews this establishment got from travellers on Trip Advisor. The center's owner, Tracey Lister, is an Australian who chose to settle in Hanoi and establish an informal school, with a coffeeshop on the second floor. She is also the author of the coffeetable book Koto: A Culinary ... Continue Reading...
