Last Wednesday was definitely an indulgence. That night I experienced dining at Le Papillon on Front. I was invited to try out a sampler menu. I must say out of all the invites that I have received, La Papillon on Front was one of the most organized and most considerate of the little details of […]

Back in Manila we really go crazy for this season.  From the early signs of Christmas decorations (and I mean early!), to the Christmas carols that waft through the air as dusk sets in, there is no missing that Christmas will be an eventuality.  When I came to Canada, one of the things that I […]

Last Sunday I was invited to experience a December morning at San Remo Bakery. I have always loved this bakery and constantly come back for their bread (the sundried baguette is so amazing!).

Sometimes there are those days wherein you have a dire need to rant and it is always good that I have a good friend who I know who would listen. Wednesday was such a day. Both my friend Jojo and I have things to unload of stresses from work and from our day-to-day. We were […]

A few weeks ago my friend Valerie invited me to watch the movie Gravity. Because it was said to be best viewed in a 3D facility, we drove all the way out to Vaughn to Colosseum to see it. Maybe I anticipated the traffic too much and we were there way too early. Looking around […]
