One of my resolutions this year is to find a long-term 'fix' to my back pain, which I get from sitting for prolonged periods of time - at home. Surprised at the mention of 'home'? Yes, it's true. At work, I have no problem because I move around a lot: I interact with my colleagues (so I don't just sit at my chair all day), I go to meetings located in other floors, and I ... READ MORE
Food Post: CYMA Greek Taverna
We celebrated my dad's 6_th birthay last month at CYMA in Robinson's Manila, one of the few restaurants in the Metro that serves really good Mediterranean food. We haven't been back here for a long time so to celebrate the event (and our homecoming of sort), we ordered these palate tested dishes: Flaming Cheese (Saganaki). That's Mozarella, Parmesan and EVOO served ... READ MORE
A Sumptuous Birthday!
I celebrated my _ _th birthday last week in a very quiet but food-filled way. It fell on a weekday and I took the day off from work so I can relax, hear mass and spend a quiet dinner with my family (which turned out to be not-so-quiet!). I chose the newly-opened Watami at Glorietta 5 for my birthday dinner because it's new and for a fully serviced Japanese restaurant, ... READ MORE

Cara Mia’s Spumoni Surprise
It's been ages since we've been to CaraMia Gelateria. We almost always order for one thing every time we're there: the Spumoni Suprise. Last Sunday we were at Robinson's Place in Ermita and saw a CaraMia Gelateria. I was reunited with my favorite gelato cake yehey! Spumoni Surprise is a 3-layer gelato cake with a fusion of strawberry, pistachio and chocolate ... READ MORE
Dining at Mr. Choi
We had a family dinner at Mr. Choi (Robinson's Place, Manila branch) last night and it was a blast! Everything we ordered were good! Soft tofu and multiple mushroom soup. Yummy! Radish cake for me and my brother. It's the best I've tasted. Roast Pork Asado is my dad's favorite. We love this steamed fish with garlic - very delicious and ... READ MORE
