Cute game alert! I’ve been enjoying this game called RayRay Parade because of the cute little characters. It’s a game of logic. The little RayRays run towards the center of the screen in various formations and flash their cute tummies when you solve the puzzle. The objective is to get all the RayRays standing. [...]

Before I post my recipe contribution to LP 18, I’d love to share some veggie-related childhood stories. Let’s go down vegetable-lined memory lane together!
I remember asking my Mom for spinach because of Popeye. I wanted to grow muscles too! It was my first time to try that vegetable and was immensely disappointed when I saw [...]

Fruits are lovely to snack on especially if they’ve been sliced, cubed or just plain made ready to eat for you. What’s easier than grabbing a banana from a bunch, peeling it and eating it right? No hassle. Same goes for fruit bowls. If you pre-plan your slicing and dicing, eating your fruits right away [...]

Vegetables. Some of us have a love affair with them, others have a love-hate (or hate-hate) relationship with them. One sure thing we all have in common is: We were all made to eat vegetables. We all started out with mashed peas and squash, were scared out of our wits with the bitterness of the [...]

I’ve written a lot about my Mom in this blog. A lot of words can be used to describe a relationship, and for this one that we share, the word is trusting. Our trust in each other is borne out of respect for each other and a deep, deep love. It is borne out of [...]

These are the top 5 things I think one should do before turning out the light and catching some zzz’s. Well, this is what I do anyway.
1. Wash your face. That is unless you want to wake up to an oily version of yourself printed on your pillow!
2. Moisturize. Slather on that [...]

This evening has been one of the funniest and most interesting nights of my life! Why? I was a guest on Jojo A.’s show. You know Jojo Alejar, right? He’s an ’80s icon who now has his own “medyo” late night talk show on RJ TV. We talked about doing an interview [...]

My Mom wanted to put fresh flowers on every table for her afternoon party. We had bouquets of pretty mums but lacked vases. She spotted these mugs gathering dust on one of the kitchen shelves. “There!,” she pointed. As soon as we got the mugs down, I started fixing the flowers.
I love Mums because they’re [...]

The book’s cover caught my eye. It was poignant, it was sweet, it was obviously set in the Far East. It was already very interesting. Turning the book over, I came to understand that “The Painted Veil” is a story set in the 1920s. It is about a young English couple — Walter, a [...]

“Bun on the Run!” H exclaimed as we were walking around Metrowalk. “Do you remember that?”
“Oh yeah!” I replied. “My Dad would take home brownies from that shop before. Ang sarap sarap.” I remembered the chocolatey goodies I enjoyed very much as a kid.
“Have you tried their Chori Burger?” H asked as we started [...]
