I’ve never seen any of those obsessive K-dramas my colleagues have been raving about. But I sure am obsessed with something Korean too and that’s—Korean Food! My obsession started when my previous manager brought us to Don-Day to try Samgyeopsal. It was my frist time to try Korean food. For someone who doesn’t like vegetables, I wasn’t too thrilled. But due to some...
I haven’t had the chance to update my Maginhawa Diaries blog series in a while because going to the food strip has been taxing as of late. I only have the time to go to QC during the weekends since we can all agree that traffic is a bitch on weekdays. Whenever I do get a chance to dine at Maginhawa on a...
I'm a sucker for Asian food, every one knows that. And no, I'm not just talking about Filipino and Japanese, although I must say I have a huge bias on the two, hehe. During one of our Maginhawa expeditions, we were trying to avoid StrEAT Food Park as much as possible because I've seen the amount of people that flock the place and...
I am an exceptionally dramatic person. Case in point, I always get nostalgic when I go to QC. I lived and worked in QC for about 5 years and it's like my comfort zone in Manila. It's not in ANY way similar to Baguio, of course. But I get a comforting feeling of familiarity when I go there knowing most of my friends...
Typhoon Glenda, also known as Rammasun internationally, shook and damaged Manila extremely hard. The skies just started clearing up earlier and I hope everyone's safe. I was smoking outside, around 4AM, when I first felt how strong the storm was. I had to put my cigarette out because I was slammed on the door due to the howling winds and the lashing rain--it...
Moving to Maginhawa wasn't easy for me. Tomas Morato has been my home for 3 years and being surrounded by bars, pubs and restaurants that operate 24/7 isn't actually a bad thing. But whenever I remember all the times I had to feel like a survivor just to get home while battling the rain, moving makes sense all of a sudden. Looking for...
Food is my comfort zone. Whenever I feel sad or depressed, I cook or eat--or do both! I mean, who doesn't love food? I'm so fortunate to be surrounded by great restaurants, street food and what have you. Maginhawa indeed is a foodie's playground. Can I just say I love living here? My place is strategically near the Supermarket, the laundromat, the terminals...
I'd like to apologize to my small space in the intarwebz for constantly failing to post stuff on a regular basis. Things have been chaotic plus I've been spending most of my time at work. Changes, a lot of changes at work. Real life problems I had to deal with before making love with my tiny space on the web. On to lighter...
I'm supposed to be blogging about the food strip at Maginhawa St. but since I wasn't able to take a lot of photos when we went there, I'll blog about the dinner instead. Last Tuesday Paul, Len and I decided to have a food trip at Maginhawa St. We agreed upon things on Twitter and Boj decided to tag along as well. We were...
