That Italian Place

June 4, 2014

My friend Monica tried inviting me once to join them for lunch at That Italian Place but at the time, I cannot make an impromptu decision to drop my plans. I asked for a rain check and I reminded Monica of it a few weeks later. It was popular with the locals but it hit […]

Last week, my friend Diona a.k.a TitaFlips and I got together for dinner.  We used to dine out a lot before but it has been cut down to size because we have an extra cute baby girl to factor in.  I knew I had to find a place where we can sit right away. A […]

The Mugshot Tavern

One afternoon, I made an impulsive decision of going to Roncesvalles to see my friend Valerie.  Since Valerie was a beer fan, I sought for a pub in the Roncesvalles area that where we could hang out. That was when I discovered Mugshot Tavern, conveniently at Keele and Bloor.  I thought it would be the […]

P & L Burger – Permanently closed

Two weeks ago I had one of those very long days.  Waking up at half past 4 in the morning and still on my feet at 9 that night, I felt my knees wanting to buckle under my weight.  I dragged my feet as I packed my camera bag and lugged my equipment to the […]

The Good Press – Permanently closed

It seems that I have been a magnet of going to places where it reminds me to eat my vegetables.  I have lived through it all my childhood where veggies are an everyday fare so it’s not really an issue.  Shameless carnivore that I am,  I don’t really mind having my fair share.  I wouldn’t […]

Gordo Ex Cafe

It seems that lately I haven’t been able to get to any new restaurants.  Last week, I finally found the time to do so and I scoured the internet for up and coming restaurants in Toronto.  Gordo Ex Cafe caught my eye as I find that the items in their menu I could easily call […]

One of A Kind Online Media Launch at the L’Ouvrier

Just a few weeks after I gushed about an amazing brunch at L’Ouvrier, I was back again at the restaurant.  This time it was because it was the venue that hosted the media launch of One Of A Kind Online , an online shop of hand-crafted-made in Canada one-of-a-kind items.  One-Of-A-Kind-Online stems out from the […]

Thank you so much for all the people who made it to my Catalonia’s Casteller opening reception at the Rivoli for CONTACT Photography Festival!  I have no words to articulate the emotions that I feel.  For all of you who wants to see it on a later date, it would be up until June 20. […]

The Future of Catalonia’s Casteller

April 25, 2014

0

This post was published during the first exhibition of my Catalonia’s Castellers collection last December 2013.   It is about a little boy with the innocence and joy of the promise of being a future casteller. This memory is so vivid as if it were just yesterday. Now as I get ready for the second showing […]

L’Ouvrier Kitchen Bar for Brunch – Permanently closed

April 22, 2014

I wanted to go out for brunch for some time now.  The past few weeks flew like blur and this past weekend, I finally slowed down to enjoy some overdue free time.  At Valerie’s request, she asked for a brunch that had salad options.  Now I always been that shameless carnivore and I usually go […]
