A big fan moment with President-elect Noynoy Aquino (P-Noy for short).I am certainly happy to have this picture taken with him, a week before he takes his oath as the 15th President of the Republic. While the marital troubles of sister Kris and her husband James Yap was in the news, bachelor Noy was calmly eating delicious shabu-shabu at the Podium mall, relishing perhaps his final few days of normalcy and privacy. But privacy, perhaps, is elusive if ordinary Juanas like me run after pictures with him.If you've been reading this blog, he was really the only ... Continue Reading...
Ortigas skyline at night
Am not a big fan of flying, or of heights and tall buildings but I just have to say the view from the 42nd floor of this hotel in Ortigas Center is quite breathtaking. This manic Tuesday happened to find me in the middle of Ortigas, first: to visit the 34th floor office of Robinsons Land, and then then the penthouse (42nd floor) of another. I didn't quite realize the area is full of skyscrapers. I guess riding high-speed elevators would be like routine if you work here. It isn't really the norm in the heart of Manila (where am based) with buildings there only ten to 20 ... Continue Reading...
The Dimples Romana 3 o’clock diet : only one full meal a day

It's not the kind of weight loss where one looks anorexic though. So I asked her about her diet secret and she said: " I only eat one full meal a day and that happens at three o'clock in the afternoon." By that she means ... Continue Reading...
Cafe 5845: Manila’s first cheese restaurant set to open
It's time to literally "say cheese!" With the date to be announced, Manila is set to open the first cheese-themed restaurant at the SM Mall of Asia soon. It is inspired by the country's recent feat of being in the Guinness Book of World Records for coming up with 5,845 cheese-based dishes in one day last December 14, 2009 - beating India's previous record of 4,668 dishes made in 2007. The forthcoming cafe will thus be called Cafe 5845 and will be made possible by the same team who collaborated for the Guinness world record, namely Kraft Foods Philippines (in ...

Campus Belle de Jour (Campus BDJ) planner giveaway
Update: will announce the winner before the end of the week. I am just SO busy... bear with me :P The kind folks of Viviamo Inc., publisher of the Belle de Jour power planner, and now the Campus Belle de Jour graciously sent me a copy of the Campus BDJ. Ahem, I wish they had something like this during my time. It's a must-have for high school/college ladies out there and yes, it's in pretty PINK! Too bad none of my kids are in the planner mode yet so am giving the Campus BDJ (P350 value) to one lucky reader who'd make better use of the planner and doodle in its ... Continue Reading...
