I am not “yet” a big fan of Filipino movies. I normally skip out on the mushy Filipino rom-coms produced by high-budget production companies like Star Cinema. But, I do know that there is much more potential and talent in the indie scene. That’s where they win awards internationally – but oddly, these are almost […]
I’m not a big fan of desserts, so when I stumbled upon Crepe Amelie’s Dulce de Leche, it felt like love at first sight (or taste, rather). Just cutting through this masterpiece, cream oozing out of each layer of crepe – looks and feels so good. And the moment you take a bite – bursts […]

Sunday was a day I revisited my Japanese “roots”. On the way to and from Laiya, we were playing Japanese music in the car. 4/5 were into Japanese music so for the first time, people didn’t ask me to change the music! My dream of going on a road trip while listening to Japanese music […]
I’m back after a long absence. A lot of things happened over the weekend, the strongest recorded super typhoon in history is one of them. Haiyan, or locally called Yolanda, caused massive destruction in the Visayas, my hometown Cebu included. Tacloban and the other towns in Leyte have it the worst though, with death tolls […]
After getting lost in the long and winding road of Makiling to get to St. Marc’s Chapel, we were starving! Debbie took us to this quaint Thai restaurant just outside the main gate of UPLB.
