Ohayou in Japanese means Good Morning, while Oyasumi means Good Night. This is my tagline because my body clock is so messed up that I go to sleep when most people are already getting up from their beds. The word play just fits! I wish I could do something about my body clock. I don’t want to […]
I know, I am here again, trying to start something I probably won’t finish. I have been blogging on and off (but it’s really more off than on) the past few years and I’ve only been good at the start. I’ve always had problems with blogging consistently and these are my major challenges: I’m […]

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 […]
The Japan Foundation Manila (JFM) is organizing an Oshaberi Salon this July 8 for Tanabata!
