Easy Japanese curry goes meatless
August 22, 2011
Japanese curry is one of the dishes that I can quickly whip up. It is very easy to make with just a few ingredients, which I always have in my pantry and fridge. I first learned how to cook curry after I played Cooking Mama. Haha. Then I cross-checked the recipe online, just to confirm […]

“Pahiyas” in progress – finally!
August 16, 2011
The scrapbook, that is. I was able to get a couple of pages done for the Pahiyas 2011 album — 3 months after the event. Pfft. Since I moved to the new apartment, I haven’t unpacked my scrapbook supplies so it was a little difficult for me to dig around in boxes for the stuff […]

Happy birthday to the best BOSS ever, Amami Yuki!
August 12, 2011
One day before I celebrate my birthday, Amami Yuuki-sama celebrates hers. I love her so much – I think she is the epitome of a strong, beautiful woman. She may be advancing in age, but she does so with much grace. I hope to be like her when I hit my 40s. I made a […]

Chizu Saeki’s 3-minute lotion mask: revisited
August 8, 2011
I have to admit that since I wrote about my experience with Saeki- sensei’s lotion mask, I was on and off with the routine, especially since work became extremely busy. But now, no matter how stressed and tired I am at night, I make it a point to make myself a lotion mask. Most of […]

Kiping together: From Ground to Great
May 19, 2011
The Pahiyas Festival will not be complete without the kiping – colorful leaf-shaped sheets made of ground rice used as decoration. How are these ubiquitous decorations made? It is a very laborious and time-consuming process. Because of this, kiping is made months ahead of the actual celebration, in anticipation for the demand from locals who […]

Celebrated annually on the 15th of May, this festival is held in honour of San Isidro Labrador for a bountiful harvest. Every year, locals compete for prizes […]

Mmm…Mozu!
May 19, 2011
Or “one of the bestest restaurants in Global City”. That’s probably an accurate description of Mozu Cafe Bar. I first learned of Mozu when my teammates brought me there for a late lunch. They recommended that I get one of the bestsellers, crispy binagoongang baboy. Was I wowed! Their version of this Filipino favourite is […]

She is a CAD technician at a British company and had the chance to get her contract extended for another year, but opted to go home because the company sucked (apparently). Actually, she didn’t give an exact date and time of arrival. She […]

In Grow the Blessings, Talk 3 in the series Drenched, Bro. Bo Sanchez emphasized that “God gives us seeds, not fruits.” Bro. Bo added that we have to grow the seeds or the blessings that God has already given us. One can either be a beggar who prays he will receive fruits, or a farmer who asks for seeds and plants them. We all start as […]

Life is a choice: if you can’t have all, have some at least.
If you can’t be good, don’t be bad. If you can’t be totally happy, don’t be completely sad. ENJOY LIFE!
