I always spent time with my GSK friends when my birthday week arrives. As they made me choose the restaurant, I had another idea in mind. My friends Arsha and Monika always expressed that they wanted to see the Distillery District. She has never been in this tourist area despite being a resident of Toronto […]

Update: Hudson Kitchen has closed :( —- I have known Chef Robbie Hojilla for a while now. I have followed his food around now for a few years and what striked me most was his attention to detail and how he talked about his food. Articulate in his descriptions, I always enjoyed devouring the food […]

Since Thanksgiving weekend is the last long weekend before the chill sets in, I would want to share what I have been busy about for the past few months. I have been bitten by the antiquing bug lately and have been doing short trips away from Toronto to find gems of the past. I justify […]

Just as almost everyone would be rushing to prepare for Thanksgiving in the next few days, I had mine last weekend. I decided to spend this long weekend on a road trip to Baltimore and since I didn’t want missing out on Thanksgiving, I have moved it one week early. I always believed that we […]

All through my school life, I went through countless charity drives as I attended a school ran by Catholic nuns. It was second nature to me then to collect and raise donations for a cause. When we celebrate traditional big occasions, we are often reminded of the people who are not as fortunate. I often […]

Food events and entertainment always go hand in hand. To have that distraction as one indulges in good eats was always a good idea. Now when the food event is carnival-themed like FoodivalTO , I still am very much a captured audience. Decades of watching buskers, I am still much in awe of the courage […]

This coming October would be three years of my blog. In those three years I have often talked about my love of Algonquin Park. No matter how busy I get or how complicated things would be, I always made a point of de-cluttering my calendar and my treks to Algonquin took precedence. I have no […]

It seems that lately we are having a reprieve from the onset of fall. When we think it would finally start dropping in temperatures, we get a wave of days that dance about the border of 20-something degrees. Looking at the 14-day forecast, up until about Wednesday next week still seems holding on to the […]

There is something so right about waking up lazily on a Sunday morning and having a really indulgent breakfast. That was what happened last weekend. After a very long week, I planned to see my friend Helen and have brunch. Wanting to have no issues with parking nor distance, I chose a restaurant that was […]

This past Tuesday was one of those days where it seemed never-ending. The adrenalin pumped through my veins from the early morn towards my last important appointment for the day. By the time it was dusk, I was completely depleted in energy. That doesn’t mean I stayed home though. I still have planned to have […]
