Last Thursday, I wrote about this mystery woman we saw in Greenhills which jibed with what I read in two of the leading blogs, byahilo and chuvaness.com. As I had suspected, she's a real character and her true name is Barbara Cruz. According to Barbara's close friend, "she’s real, all right. We’ve known her for some time, but she’s always looked that way no matter how hard we’ve tried to convince her to go with the modern times. She is afraid of change, and insists on clinging to tradition. Her appearance reflects her old-fashioned habits.” A few weeks after the ... Continue Reading...
Bb. Pilipinas 2010 winners chosen; Ma. Venus Raj from Bicol to represent country in Miss Universe
I stayed up late tonight to blog, and caught the last leg of the annual Binibining Pilipinas pageant just in time. Before then, my friend Ojie told me the top title will already go to Candidate No. 11 Krista Kleiner but she turned out to be the Bb. Pilipinas International. The top plum of the night, Bb. Pilipinas-Universe, went to an unknown - Ma. Venus Raj who stands at five feet nine and is described in her bio to be working as an information assistant for DENR Region 4. She had vital stats to die for though, and I knew what made her win - the 22 inch waistline! ... Continue Reading...
Max’s Restaurant launches new fish dishes
I've never hidden the fact that Max's is one of our favorite Filipino family restaurants. Chicken is my kids' comfort food, and in our book, nothing beats fried chicken cooked the Max's way. Well, am sure a lot of Pinoys agree with me - regardless of whether they're voting for Aquino or Villar :D It was a pleasure to be invited by Max's marketing and test kitchen as they launched new fish dishes just in time for the Lent. Devout Catholics in this part of the world still adhere to a no-meat diet on Fridays during the Lenten Season and the new dishes are ideal. Aside ... Continue Reading...
Spotted in Greenhills: who is she?
Hubby and I went to Greenhills ('twas his first time there) and while he looked at video games, I spotted a familiar-looking woman. She looked out of place because she was wearing turn-of-the-century costume (think Maria Clara) and had bushy eyebrows that could put Brooke Shields to shame. Then I remembered that she looked familiar because I saw her pic previously in Chuvaness' blog. Although one can't help but notice her in the crowd because of her appearance, I couldn't really bear giving her a lingering look, baka maging kamukha nya baby ko, LOL. So I took one shot ...

Manny Villar ad budget to exceed one billion?
Expect happy-go-lucky Pinoys to make fun of the present election campaign merry-go-round. Posted on Twitter and Facebook was somebody's answer to the ethereal question "who would be the ideal Philippine president: " ~ somebody with Villar's $$S, Aquino's heart, Gibo's brain, Erap's appeal, Bro. Eddie's faith and Gordon's dick." :D It doesn't take rocket science to deduce that among all the presidential candidates, Manny Villar is the one spending (and investing) the most on his campaign. A report by global market research company Nielsen showed that for the period ... Continue Reading...
