Now that it's Thanksgiving 2010 ( celebrated in the US on Thursday, November 25), what are you thankful for this year? I can think of a few heartfelt things ... a safe, happy home; the love of my husband; the birth of our baby Lucy; and feeling all of God's abundant grace. I feel that am not wanting of things right now if I choose to live life simply, and to think that life is not a race to be rich or have the biggest house on the road. Instead, I will aim to see the world and savor quality moments with my family and people who matter because indeed, life is short. ... Continue Reading...
Mercato Centrale @ BGC : finally, a weekend food market in Bonifacio Global City
Mercato Centrale is one good reason to be in Bonifacio Global City during weekends. Am glad they have launched a weekend market like this to rival those found in Makati City, Quezon City (Lung Center) and Pasig City (Banchetto). For now, it's being marketed as a healthy, organic market but for us who love our burgers, bacon fat and pork belly, there are lots of appetizing choices too. Two hours was certainly not enough for me and the hubby to enjoy the flavors of this market. Now you know where to get your Christmas shopping done in case you want food gifts that ...

Aranaz launches Mercato bag for Rags2Riches
The Mercato bag, a stylized market basket designed by Amina Aranaz-Alunan was recently launched at Members Only in the Fort. What makes this bag significant is that they were made by the poor women of Payatas under the Rags2Riches social business enterprise. I've seen a similar bag design before by Rajo Laurel and I was certainly impressed with the way they have turned scraps and recycled materials into a thing of beauty. Photo shows some of Manila's most stylish women modelling the Mercato bag after an afternoon tea party: (from left) Amanda Griffin-Jacob, ... Continue Reading...

Watch this space for a forthcoming announcement ;) Our Coke contest winner is Ms. Liza ... Continue Reading...
Ristras Mexican Grill, the Fort
The awaited opening of Ristras at McKinley Hill will not push through after all. During one of our drives to Bonifacio Global City, I saw Ristras open at Fairways Tower Condominium - in the same building where Malcolm's Place and Joey Pepperoni are. We thought it best to visit, especially as going to its first branch in the city of San Juan was something I couldn't find time to do (read: far away from me) Ristras the Fort boasts of modern interiors. I could see that they have just opened, as the menu wasn't even available yet. This made it all the more confusing ... Continue Reading...
