I have been a fan of the local YUMMY Magazine for the longest time. I always make it a point to buy the latest issue from the nearest Ministop or 7-Eleven, and have gotten a kick from trying out some of the recipes as well. I have just one complaint from this magazine: viewing its pages never fail to make me hungry. The pictures seem to leap from the confines of colorful paper and ink, looking ready to be eaten! My friends agree as well :D That is why when the invite from Yummy came for their media Christmas dinner (thanks Fran and Ro!), I was excited to attend. The ... Continue Reading...
Century Corned Tuna Blogger’s Cook-off: we won!
Bloggers writing about food is one thing, bloggers cooking the food itself in full view of the public is another. So yeah, that's how I attended one of the most enjoyable blog events ever - the Century Corned Tuna Bloggers' Cook-Off held last Saturday, Nov. 7 at The Stock Market in the Fort.

Our finished dishes would be ... Continue Reading...

I must say it's a real delight for kids, who must be harboring fantasies about being the next Little Mermaid or even our homegrown Dyesebel. It was fun seeing the women-swimmers in their colorful, alluring costumes, waving and smiling at ... Continue Reading...
All ready for Pacquiao-Hatton boxing match
Just a few hours and the whole Philippines will be glued to the historic May 2 big fight between Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton at the MGM Grand Arena. The grand confrontation is scheduled at 8 a.m. Manila time, with Martin Nievera singing the Philippine National Anthem. I will be out of town and will not be around to know how traffic in Manila stops during this time. Although I've pinned my hopes on Pacman before, this time am betting on Hatton to humble down the greatest Filipino boxer of all time. But then again, I could be wrong and that makes their ...
