Saw this first in Dr. Em's blog and this was how I discovered the group writing project on positive thinking by Kirsten Harrell over at Ipopin. First and foremost, I do believe that what the world needs not is not so much love (we have too many babies :D) but a healthy dose of positivity. Here's my contribution on how to imbibe positivity into one's life: 1. Free thyself from fear. It is staggering how positivity can be defeated by all sorts of fears, most of which are the imagined kind. If you want to do something, why not try it first before even thinking you might ...

World’s best islands, and we’re not on the list
us-usan sandbar Gadling has a report on the world's best islands based on " activities, beaches, culture/sites, lodging, restaurants and scenery."

Here's a list of those exotic-sounding getaways which made it: * Bali * Kauai * Maui * Cape Breton, Nova Scotia * Mount Desert, Maine * Tasmania * Hawaii * Galapagos * Santorini * Santo Stefano * Phuket, Thailand * Thatch Cay * Blue Lagoon * Grand Bogue Caye * ...

The week in food: going Japanese, calamares, Conti’s & more
Chili oil & furikake Sunday : Crashed the digs of Benj, our college classmate who's made it in the crazy world of advertising. How do we know he's made it ? Because his condo near the vicinity of Ayala Av is a spacious three-BR affair with all-black furniture, designer speakers and laptops all over the place. Benj's buddy serves us penne pasta with meat sauce and that's when I discover the joys of Japanese chili oil and furikake. I never thought that the lethal combination of these two can transform a drab dish into a fantastic one. Furikake is a type ... Continue Reading...
Visiting the Manila Foods & Beverages Expo
PBB gals Chix and jenny for Pinoy Big Burger. I love food expos! A foodie shouldn't live without going to one. Luckily, there are a number of such events held in my area every year, and this was my first time to visit the Manila Foods & Beverages Expo ongoing at the World Trade Center till Sunday, June 24. What you can find in these expos: the latest food products, assorted kitchenware, delicacies from the provinces, imported goodies, free samples, and food tasting to the max. The problem with these events is that I always get to buy more than ... Continue Reading...
Is blogging bad for our health?
Anton over at Our Awesome Planet already intimated in one post how he gained 40 lbs. (!!) just from blogging about the hottest new restaurants and places in the metro. Somehow, I couldn't help but share in the observation, knowing how I've terribly lagged in gym time the past few months. The pilosopo in me attribute my failure to go to the gym to two things: 1) weather is unreasonably hot! why work up a sweat when being at home is like taking the treadmill/being in a sauna already? 2) blogging is addicting; blogging ties me up to the computer for hours on ...
