Just as I promised myself last year, this year I was not going to miss the 2nd annual Toronto Garlic Festival.  September rolled in and I was in a lookout for the announcement.  Imagine my happiness when I found out that this year was not a conflict with my Algonquin trek.  In fact, it was […]

Just like any foodie in Toronto, I must confess I am addicted to Food TV Network.  One of my favorite TV shows was Top Chef Masters and on season 2, one of the competitors was Susur Lee.  I don’t know whether it was that he was from Toronto or it was because of the sensibilities […]

This Thanksgiving weekend, I have a lot to be thankful for.  First and foremost, it has almost been two years since my change of careers and I am thankful that I am still here and able to sustain it.  I am living the life that I choose to live.  That in itself is a lot […]

Accompanied by Abraham Wornovitzky today, we spent the afternoon scoping the site for a future photo shoot for a client.  I don’t know whether it was the brainstorming we did or driving through rows of restaurants by Dundas West that Abe started to have a serious craving for something sweet.  It was quite amusing to […]

September – TUM’s 1st Birthday

When my friend Diona Joyce of Kanto told me that the September TUM would be a celebration of its first year, I was taken aback of how fast time flies.  I still remember that time when I first saw the tweets for the first and the second events last year and how frustrated I was […]

One of my most anticipated art shows in Toronto was the Nuit Blanche.  For several years now, I have been a fan and I make it a point to see as much as my feet can do the walking.  Toronto stays awake for one night with a host of art installations scattered all over the […]

When my friend, Helen, volunteered to jump on a train from Mississauga to downtown Toronto to meet me, of course, I readily said yes. I tried to find an interesting area close to the Union Subway Station and decided we just go walking towards the St. Lawrence area.  Looking for recommendations from Urbanspoon, I decided […]

All this time I have been puzzled by Salad King.  For all the time that I have spent at Ryerson University, I have never come across it.  It boggles the mind when I used to be almost always in search of another place that would not give me a sandwich or a wrap during my […]

Algonquin 2012

What has always been a start to my autumn was my trek towards Algonquin Park.  I don’t think I would ever get tired of seeing all the possible tones of red in such a wide expanse.  Each time I come near it, I feel like I am home.  For seven years now, my friends and […]

With the recent surge of ramen places in Toronto, I must say I am one of the happy foodies around.  I have a love of the comfort that a ramen can give.  The soup warmth always  that satisfaction of having a good meal.  Everything in one bowl, noodle for carbs, pork belly for protein and […]
