greekcoffee. My job is almost cushy save for the fact that it requires me to work on the graveyard shift for a few days every three weeks. I dread it when it comes knowing that my body is conditioned to doze off, 2 a.m. at the latest. Early on, my mom determined I could not be a lawyer no matter how I wanted to take the course post-college. She knew I would simply sleep through all those books and documents. It is therefore ironic that I'd find myself in a job which miraculously teems with life 24/7. Six o'clock in the morning and there are still ... Continue Reading...
We scream for Krispy Kreme! Asia’s first doughnut drive thru opens tomorrow
img_0547. As you can see in the photo, it was not only my twins' first public appearance , it was also their first time to be interviewed for wacky TV show Wazzup Wazzup! The occasion was yesterday's VIP party hosted by Krispy Kreme prior to the opening of their Greenhills branch tomorrow. At 200 square meters, it is the American brand's first free-standing store in the Philippines and their first drive-thru outlet in Asia so it's definitely something to watch out for.

Positivity principles to live by
Saw this first in Dr. Em's blog and this was how I discovered the group writing project on positive thinking by Kirsten Harrell over at Ipopin.

It is staggering how positivity can be defeated by all sorts of fears, most of which are the imagined kind. If you want to do something, why not try it first before even thinking you might ...

us-usan sandbar Gadling has a report on the world's best islands based on " activities, beaches, culture/sites, lodging, restaurants and scenery." As our pessimistic mind expected, the Philippines was not on the list.

The week in food: going Japanese, calamares, Conti’s & more
Chili oil & furikake Sunday : Crashed the digs of Benj, our college classmate who's made it in the crazy world of advertising. How do we know he's made it ? Because his condo near the vicinity of Ayala Av is a spacious three-BR affair with all-black furniture, designer speakers and laptops all over the place. Benj's buddy serves us penne pasta with meat sauce and that's when I discover the joys of Japanese chili oil and furikake. I never thought that the lethal combination of these two can transform a drab dish into a fantastic one. Furikake is a type ... Continue Reading...
