God knows there's no other best time to feel BLAH than when you're pregnant. No salon agrees to color my hair (even though the grays are showing) and spas won't even give me my regular massage by reason of my swollen belly. My digitally-permed tresses have grown out and I can't have them straightened at this stage. Looks like everything has to wait until delivery! That's why I felt quite elated when publicist Char of Stratworks chose to invite me for a beauty event. It was the launch of the new Love Etc... line by The Body Shop in the runup to Valentine's Day. I ... Continue Reading...
Trying out KFC, a.k.a Korean fried chicken …
I have to blame the office folks for introducing me to the pleasures of KFC... no, not The KFC but Korean fried chicken. It is fried chicken I've tasted like no other, mostly because this doesn't use ketchup or gravy as an accompaniment. Trying it with sweet pickled radish is love. :D Another good reason to love this chicken. It's perfectly cooked, and doesn't have the oily taste. ... Continue Reading...
The French Corner, Alabang
Alabang is certainly far enough to go for fine dining if you don't live there. But eating at The French Corner has been one of my great gastronomic experiences lately that I wouldn't hesitate to dine here again. This resto prides itself of its "Creative Continental cuisine" crafted by noted gourmet chef Billy King. It is one of the mainstays in the cozy complex called the Westgate Center. The prices aren't to be scoffed at, and this is one of the places to go to when you want to impress your date - most especially because of the great service. It certainly ... Continue Reading...
Lolo Dad’s and other great places to have a Valentine’s Day dinner date in Manila

Even though the place is "decaying" due to the rise of more contemporary restaurant strips in The Fort, Makati and beyond, some good ol' places still remain. Here are some suggestions on where to take your loved one for a Valentine's Day date in Manila: 1. Restaurant Le Bellevue on the 27th floor of the Manila Diamond Hotel is a favorite for viewing the bright lights of the bay-enclosed city, while savoring French cuisine 2. Cosa Nostra on Adriatico St. Malate is the cutest little spot in Manila. A ... Continue Reading...
Sony Vaio and its new line of laptops for Spring 2010
This is a rather delayed post on the Sony Vaio launch event we attended last week to welcome their Spring 2010 collection of new laptops. Some revelations: this brand remains posh, with its high-end Vaio Z model priced at Php 150,000 (more expensive than the Mac!). We figured it is worth it since the lean machine runs on Intel Core i5 processor. However, did you know that they have the Vaio W that's priced at Php 29K as well? That's more like it in terms of affordability, considering the low, low prices of netbooks these days. The Vaio W (pictured below) comes free ... Continue Reading...
