Photo via missuniverse.com Hopefully she will not be another Thank You Girl :D Miss Philippines (and Bb. Pilipinas-Universe) Pamela Bianca Manalo is a strong contender for the Miss Universe 2009 which will be telecast to a global audience in a few hours from the Bahamas. We watched the preliminary swimsuit competition and I must say the 5'10 stunner, who's a flight attendant of the Philippine Airlines, did well. It has been decades since we've had a Filipina for a Miss Universe (sigh). For Chrissakes, our last winning titleholder, Margie Moran is a grandma ... Continue Reading...
Four new dishes from Max’s Restaurant … and Piolo Pascual
Max's Restaurant is a classic. I just think their fried chicken is the most amazing thing in the world. Fried chicken with the falling-off-to-the-bone goodness of roast chicken, if you know what I mean. We locals take it for granted, but it is something that should be tasted when you're in the Philippines for the first time. (note: like Jollibee, they do have overseas branches. In California and Hawaii). It was absolutely a hit when my American mother-in-law visited this resto during her maiden visit to RP. Simple joys! :D And because Max's is one of my family's ...

Make-up class with Artistry’s Victor Ortega
Last weekend, I was up early for one class I didn't want to miss - make-up lessons with Victor Ortega of Artistry, the high-end make-up brand of Amway. Prior to this event, I've been canvassing make-up schools in Manila, more out of interest than anything else. Am not about to open a beauty salon soon, but it is one thing I really want to learn. Even though I hardly use make-up myself, except for the reliable lipstick, I do believe that it goes a long way in enhancing one's looks and aura. We should approach it like art, and used wrongly, it can make us look like ... Continue Reading...
C-Lium High-Fiber Cook-Off at Aubergine Restaurant
Colon cancer has been in the news lately because of the late President Cory Aquino. The health buffs among us are suddenly reading up on the subject, especially how to prevent it. One of the crucial areas is proper nutrition. As much as possible, avoid red meat, especially those grilled, and focus on a plant-based diet. Timely enough, we got an invitation for a C-Lium High-Fiber cook-off event last week. I know some friends who take C-Lium Fibre and find it helpful in improving their digestion. I've tried it a few times before and gave up because I was put off by ... Continue Reading...
A great vacation in Pearl Farm Beach Resort, Davao
I really enjoyed our business trip to Davao City last July and what clinched it was our overnight stopover at the scenic Pearl Farm Resort in Samal Island. It's a must see when you're in Davao because it's out there as one of the top resorts in the Philippines. Our time in Pearl Farm, no matter how short, surely gave us time to unwind and shoo the work blues away. Most of all, the ultra-refreshing views made us forget the sullen landscape of the city. How can you probably sulk when you open the bedroom window to something like this? ... Continue Reading...
