I’ll be back in Manila in December and one thing I’m really excited about is the FOOD. I’ve always believed Filipino food is best home cooked so I don’t really frequent local food joints (except Dencio’s – I live for their sisig!) but that all changed upon being introduced to Victorino’s. Victorino’s Restaurant and Heny Sison’s…
A HEARTY MEAL AT MAMA LOU’S
My second day in Manila was definitely more relaxed than the first. I only had one thing planned and that was to spend time with my Roxas family. Ours is a very close family with a weekly Sunday get together and since I’ve been missing out a lot of those, they brought me to one…
BLENDED
Here’s another one of my Manila trip blog posts. 🙂 As if my lunch date with my mom and merienda with the girls wasn’t enough, I went to meet my siblings and my dad after. Yup, I arrived in Manila around 10am and I only stepped foot in my house around midnight. Talk about making…
GIRLS CATCH UP AT MARY GRACE CAFE

WINGS AND MACARONS DATE
Combining two of the things I miss the most about Manila on my first morning back – good food and my mom. 🙂 Straight from the airport, we had wings for lunch. I recently tried a wings place here in Singapore that serve something like garlic parmesan and lemon pepper but it didn’t come close…
THE ISCREAMIST
It’s been really hot lately so I thought I’d share with you guys one of our favorite spots in the Maginhawa vicinity – The Iscreamist. I’ve passed by it a lot of times but what really captured my curiosity was my friend Marc’s tweet about the Guiness flavored ice cream. Since we’re always in Maginhawa…
BRGR: THE BURGER PROJECT + PINO BONDING
Like I said here, I got the chance to attend BRGR: The Burger Project’s relaunch last April 11 at Maginhawa Street. I was supposed to go to Lucena that day but at the last minute our whatsapp group didn’t push through. No worries though, I had a really nice time with my favorite blogpals. Super laughtrip lang! 🙂 Burger Project…
EASTER MONTAGE
Easter was spent with God’s greatest blessing to me – my family. Headed to China Town to have lunch in a really ancient food joint that my Lolo Cesar used to dine in. My mom and titos were even saying that it was probably the same place they went to for Lolo Celso’s (Lolo Cesar’s…
TAGAYTAY GOOD FRIDAY
{PLF top and skirt, thrifted vest, rubi flats} Last Good Friday, I tagged along my cousin Nadine‘s awesome family to a daytrip down South. We visited churches and had a sumptuous dinner in Marcia Adams, a restaurant tucked in a secret garden in Tagaytay. 🙂 Spending time with the Roxases is always something I look forward to…
THE WORLD IS MINE
{shopRTF vest, topshop tee, bazaar shorts} A random Thursday going around the almost car-free Metro Manila. Edsa Guadalupe, English bulldog!!!, Ayala Triangles, The Fort, Jamba Juice, Dwaeji or Pig bar aka the best ice cream ever – even beats Magnum #truestory, failed attempt at Trimo Shawarma (as recommended by my favorite couple from Love Chic), dinner…
MINT CONDITION
{top from bangkok, shopRTF skirt, people are people shoes} Had a pre-prod meeting last week and Luis told us to come in pastel. Surprise,surprise – even with the broad spectrum of pastel shades, we all came in mint. Easter ready, I must say :p with Rudolph, Mikka, Luis we then had a sumptuous lunch at Mamou too in Rockwell had the beer…
