I blame food events why I’m gaining so much weight lately. But I’m actually not complaining because I love food and I love to eat. And I thing I love the most is when I get to try new dishes or new products from soon-to-open restaurants or from my favorite diner. Got the chance to have a taste of an ultimate fine dining experience courtesy of RED GARLIC BISTRO CAFE owned by Chef Vincent Rodriguez (an invitation I got thru a good friend, Maan D’asis Pamaran). The food tasting was intimate and limited bloggers were invited. I was joined by…

It’s rare for me to watch Tagalog films simply because I felt I could wait for it to be shown in free TV. And you can’t blame me because I can’t help but notice so many flaws from it.

Who doesn’t love, or at least like chocolates? I can’t name any from my friends or family who doesn’t enjoy eating chocolates. I grew up having a sweet tooth and in my case, I love chocolates especially with nuts (peanuts, almonds. macadamia, etc.). I could say I’m a choco-holic because I can eat a bunch of sweet treats all for myself. That’s why when Ogilvy invited me to cover the launch of Van Houten Chocolates, I made sure I didn’t miss it. For chocolate enthusiasts like me, it is more than just a sweet treat; it is a celebration of…
