One of the things am not happy about is the fact that my skin is highly sensitive, and prone to certain types of allergies, like contact dermatitis. Unfortunately, my son inherited this predicament and when allergy strikes, it's the time for him (or me) to visit the doctor and get the much-needed prescription. During a recent forum, it was quite enlightening to find that one out of five kids worldwide suffer from a form of skin allergy or another. It seems that children who haven't been sufficiently breastfed are susceptible. Environmental pollution, allergen levels ... Continue Reading...
NUKS NUMUN moment: my digital perm at a Korean salon
NUKS NUMUN! is a popular phrase I hear from fellow bloggers these days. I figure that in this age of icanhazcheezburger, it's a variation of the old and jaded Tagalog term of exclamation "naks naman!" (Wow!) As in "NUKS NUMUN! Buhay pa ba ang gumupit ng buhok mo, sis?" :D Barely a month after getting the famous Ricky Reyes haircut, I was itching for change again. It was because my natural curls were showing themselves in their full unflattering glory, which made for an uneven field. It didn't help that the hubby told me he wanted to see me get a perm before he flew ... Continue Reading...
Asian Food Museum by Makansutra now open at Manila Ocean Park
Mostly, I like the Manila Ocean Park because it is one of the few places in Manila where you can enjoy the city's natural beauty without spending much. Ever since Baywalk closed, this is now the place to gaze at the beautiful sunset and watching the panoramic expanse of the Manila Bay while sipping a drink and enjoying the time with your family. The best things in life are (almost) free! It is good that MOP doesn't charge an entrance fee just for entering their complex. After offering the mermaid show, the people behind the Makansutra Asian Food Village ... Continue Reading...
Noynoy Aquino for 2010: it’s what he stands for
Philippine politics is getting exciting by the minute. An rip-roaring rigodon is going on, barely a year before the next presidential elections. For a change, i feel a glimmer of hope with these new breed of younger politicos, like Mar Roxas giving up his presidential bid yesterday and a few others hinting that they are following suit. It gives us hope that the clamor for reform is stronger than the lure of term extension (read: cha-cha) and traditional politics. Truth to tell, I still don't have a candidate to vote for, although a lot of my well-meaning friends are ... Continue Reading...
Hainanese chicken rice, anyone? My search for the best Singaporean resto in Manila begins here
I've been to Makansutra in Manila Ocean Park several times, and I have to agree with the others that it's quite a letdown. The concept of having several hawker stalls in one cozy environment is nice, but the quality of the food is not something which will make me excited to go back there again. Case in point is the soggy wantan mee I got the last time and the teenie-weenie stick of chicken satay. Same with the Malaysian restaurants in Manila. I still have to find one which will completely impress me, including the ones found in the malls. So I've only been to ... Continue Reading...
