Last year when I received word about TOFoodFest, the date was the same as my departure for a vacation. I still went and checked them out and I regretted that I had to be in a hurry. I remember I promised myself that if there were a second year, I would stay longer. Because of […]

For most of you who follow me regularly through WordPress and Twitter, you know how often I frequent Market 707 by Bathurst and Dundas to hang-out with my good friend, Diona Joyce a.k.a TitaFlips. Last Friday I came for another reason. Last Friday, I had to check out the kick-off celebration of Scadding Court’s Annual […]

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 […]

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 […]

One of the things I enjoy about Toronto was its endless list of food events. Last weekend, my friend Diona Joyce of Kanto told me about Theatre Passe Muraille’s Queen Street West Fest.

Three weeks ago I had a surprise email from Susanne Wong, one of the organizers of TO Food Fest 2012. I was invited for a preview of their food event that happened today. When I realized that it was the same day as I am leaving for my vacation, my heart skipped a beat that […]

If I were to list the highlights of my summer so far, dragonboating would surely be one of the top in my list. I once paddled with the Pickering Dragonboating Club and miss being a part of it. This year, I got the chance to join another crew, The Ronin Warriors. Yesterday was my first […]

Last week I had to suffer through a craving for Lechon Kawali that I made sure this week I get to swing by Kanto. Calling my friend Tita Flips, a.k.a Diona Joyce, I checked out her menu for this week and luckily she has my favorite as an item for the week. On my way […]

Through Twitter I met a kindred spirit, Diona Joyce, aka Tita Flips. We have never met before Twitter but we instantaneously identified with each other, primarily because of our love for food. It eventually came that we worked together in a photoshooot for her up and coming Kanto, soon-to-be a Filipino foodie haven at Bathurst […]
