Just got back from a trip to Singapore! Must say that I have Singapoh hangover. What I like most about the place is how effective their transport system is. All you have to do is buy a prepaid EZ Pass card and your train, bus, cab fairs are all solved! It would really take an extra effort from you to get lost in this city.Just take a look at their MTR map! How efficient, see!The Cable Car to

I am not ashamed to say it, I am in loooove with the Tudors. I am obssessed about their family tree, about Henry VIII and his many many wives, I am even obssessed with Jonathan Rhys Meyers (he really is hot)!!I enjoy hating the Boleyn sisters and feeling bad for the first wife. I enjoy seeing how romantic courtship used to be, yet realizing how comfortably different we live now. Yes the scenes

I most certainly liked the first movie much much more. Also, one would have to be vaguely familiar with the characters from the first movie to be able to completely relate to this one.The idea of having Nicholas Cage play a love lost character was a bit edging into creepy. Come on, this was the guy who made us all swoon in City of Angels.The only parts I liked in this movie were the brief (albeit

Singapore this coming weekend!! I hope some of you can give me tips on which restaus to try, where the best Hainanese chicken Chicken, Kaya toasts, Bak Kut Teh, Laksa and Chili Crabs are!I'm so excited to go on this trip! Can't wait to try authentic hawker food! Will definitely be taking lots and lots of pictures!

It's been a whole year already! I can't believe it. This year, I had several cakes (4 in fact). Some given by vendors, but the best one we bought. This year I chose the Blueberry Cheesecake from Conti's.I find it to be much too sweet for my taste. The cream cheese is a bit rubbery. I still think that Gateau de Manille serves the best Blueberry Cheesecake at the best price.

Wanted to celebrate my birthday with my favorite Thai dish, so far only to be found in Thai at Silk, only to discover that they had taken the item out of their menu. Ended up celebrating in Guava and had (no pictures today):Mongonisa Nothing spectacular except for the Longganisang Lucban included in the dish.Ginisang Gulay in Bihod Sauce This was very very good.

This really is the best dessert place in Serendra/BHS! Glad to see that more people have discovered the place. I'm just a wee bit concerned that service and ambience is starting to step down a notch compared to the last time we were here.What we tried:Almond Espresso Cheesecake Php95Very very good. Would have been better if the espresso part of the cheesecake was stronger. I also think that

Boy! What a looong name! We call it "New Orleans" for short. Got there at around 8pm, got a table at around 9:15! The wait list wasn't that very long, it was just that customer turnover was slow. Probably because service was slow too.The place was very small, but very alive. It could have been the slightest bit bigger. I loved the over all decor in the area. It was like a mini-Bourbon street

I go through phases. Once I went through a pizza phase wherein all I would eat was pizza, I also went through a chili sauce phase, an egg phase, a koko krunch phase...you get the idea.. And now I'm going through a waffle phase. I wake up in the morning thinking about waffles and sleep at night dreaming about them. Have eaten in pancake house, gram's diner and heaven n' eggs in the past week.

I am just speechless. I am utterly saddened by the death of Heath Ledger. I really think that he's a promising actor. Loved him in 10 things i hate about you, was looking forward to his portrayal of Joker in the new Batman movie. It's so sad. I am so affected.Have been watching Sex and the City the past few nights, can't bear to watch it anymore because the actor playing "Aidan" sort of reminds

i{content: normal !important}Ran into an ex today. Couldn't find the courage to cross paths with him. Turned around and walked the other way. Hid behind some plants, "spied" on him. Then I wondered, where does the love for an ex partner go? It definitely never goes away. Those times you see him and pangs of anger/ irritation/ happiness/excitement/ whatsoever comes over you only means that

I'm feeling lost. When these kinds of situations used to happen to me, I used to be able to get through it by talking it over with some friends over a cup of coffee or a piece of cake. But this time, I just can't find the strength to tell anyone. Matter of factly, I don't even know what's wrong!Been locked up in my room for days now. I fall asleep as soon as I get home, and people who are close

I wanted to see it even before it started production because (hot) Patrick Dempsey was in it. I'm glad it didn't disappoint. Enchanted is a grown woman's fairytale. To add even more glee, it's Disney! Impossible to go wrong with Disney! I don't want to make this entry a spoiler.

Accidentally stumbled upon this website (www.munchpunch.com) that features restaurants from all over. They sometimes even have menus of the restaus, something I find very useful when planning ahead, on a budget or when looking for a certain dish. They also offer reviews from other diners and even discounts at times.I've been waiting and looking for a site like this for so long now. I hope they

My friend got so excited when she saw this in Greenbelt 5. She's apparently heard so much about the bakery but had never gotten around to visiting the place since it was somewhere in Pasig. We had to come back like 6 times before we actually got seats. Only 4-6 (if you don't mind sharing with strangers) tables are available. I don't really get why they chose the tables and chairs that they did.

My very first restaurant to eat in at Greenbelt 5. I loved the interiors, the table settings and even the ambience. You really kind of feel like you're really in an aquarium. I even like those submarine like windows peering over the kitchen which my friend found to be freaky. Make no mistake, the food is definitely Filipino mixed with foreign influences (I can only assume that the menu was

This time we had dinner in Chelsea. Was finally able to get their complimentary bread with some roasted garlic. yum! That alone and I was already full! These are what we had:Grandma's Crispy Duck Confit and Mushroom Risotto Php 295- I very much enjoyed the roasted peppercorn sauce. Also, it's final, duck just really isn't my kind of protein.Juicy Whole Garlic Rosemary Lemon Roasted Chicken Php495

Was intrigued by Marvin Agustin's DSL commercial so we decided to dine here one time. No pictures this time folks! We tried the:California Maki Salad Php150- Was disappointed by this salad. Nothing more that some mangoes and shrimp tossed in greens.Beef Enoki Php 245- Enoki mushrooms wrapped tight in fried beef. Was really looking forward to this dish. Was disappinted by how tough the enoki was.

Had a simple yet sinful ravioli in Mezze the other day. The exact name and price of the dish escapes me right now. This a definite and cheaper alternative to my favorite ravioli dish in CPK (which is close to 600 pesos now!). I loved the restaurant's interiors and quirky plates and table settings. Must come back to try their cocktails.

On a very late lunch, yet very early dinner with two of my bested friends, we decided to eat at Chelsea and these are what we ate:Caprese Extreme Php 220Fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, sagada oranges and arugula pesto. Nothing spectacular. The oranges were very refreshing though. Serving was small for the price.Gridled Farmer's Ham and Edam Cheese Sandwich Php250Has mesclun greens and potato wedges

For my first review after a looong lull, I have the ever so controversial Cyma found in Greenbelt 2. As expected, there was a long waiting line. Lucky for me, there were only 4 of us dining that time, beating out a lot of other groups ahead of us in the waiting list. Here are what we ate:Saganaki (Flaming Cheese) Php 165Very controversial. Plainly put, it's just melted cheese served piping hot

I didn't really watch the cartoons before. I am not a fan. I have no idea what the story is line. All I know is that there are robots who, well, transform. I went inside the cinema with a blank slate.Well, I was in for a treat! I loved the movie! I loved the cast, the story, the way it was made, the fight scenes, the special effects and Josh Duhamel! I loved the way they gave the robots their own

Szechuan food generally connates spiciness and all that pepper on the food. The food in this restau however was the least bit spicy. It's a great place to go to if you want to get good Chinese food that doesn't come from a box. Even better is that the food servings are meant to be shared! Sesame ChickenMy favorite from everything we ordered. The sesame batter really made the chicken crisp and
