Me in LMCyberport The flight was delayed for 30 minutes and it felt like I was in a microwave oven in that CX plane (hot,hot,hot!)but I am finally in HK. From the airport, we took the Express Train (fare:P600) then a taxi to our hotel which our host warned was "in the middle of nowhere." What do you know, it's the coolest, funkiest place I've ever stayed in. I am simply in love with the Le Meridien Cyberport, and am glad it will be my home for the next three days. These are the things I adore: the hip, contemporary designs; the view of the bay from my ... Continue Reading...
A meme, for thinking out loud
Got these from those brilliant Singapore bloggers. If you're in my links list, please feel free to fill in the blanks: My ex is somebody I still talk to every single friggin' day. Maybe I should stop blogging, but then what kind of life would that be? There's nothing else that so interests me now. After close to two years, this is getting to be a long-term relationship. A friend said am such a compulsive writer... yeah! I love my kids; God for being kind to me; going on road trips; discovering nice new places to eat and chill-out in; making love; making new friends; ... Continue Reading...
Cafe Arabela : Liliw’s best-kept (open) secret

It turned out to be a venture of a Filipino husband and wife team totally devoted to the twin pleasures of cooking and eating. ... Continue Reading...
Motoring to Liliw, Laguna: the ‘tsinelas’ country
Liliw scenes On my way home to Manila, I dropped by San Pablo's neighboring town Liliw which is just 30 minutes or so away. Going there, we passed by the towns of Rizal, Nagcarlan (site of the Underground Cemetery) and Alaminos (where another tourism spot, the Hidden Valley is located.) Liliw is famous for being a prime producer of tsinelas (native slippers) and in fact held its annual tsinelas festival recently. ... Continue Reading...
San Pablo food trip: the culinary pleasures of Kusina Salud
Filipino Food While in San Pablo, I simply had to check out Kusina Salud for all the raves I've been hearing about its food. It didn't seem easy going here and it's probably a must that you have your own vehicle. Kusina is designer Patis Tesoro's country home now converted into a crafts and culinary destination. The huge compund also houses an aviary and art gallery but since it was pitch dark when we went here, we weren't able to view these. The overall theme of the place is "eclectic" as it hosts the owners' antique furnitures and other collectibles gained ... Continue Reading...
