I remember being extremely disappointed when I first tried the famous Bone Marrow Pares. The place where I tried it at was the place everyone was raving about--Shorthorn Pares. I've lost faith since then and would almost always just scroll past anything that involved Pares or bone marrow in a sentence. I was thinking, could bone marrow actually be that tasteless if you...
Hey, everyone! I’ve been on a roll both here and on Youtube and I decided to also start cooking again. Damn, quitting smoking seems to have kicked in something really good for me. I hope this lasts though cause I get days where I really just want a puff. Hope this goes away soon. Anyway, today I’ll be sharing a go-to recipe I...
Whenever people ask me where I live, I have a tendency to say Ortigas when in fact, I live in Mandaluyong. My place isn't necessary like a border between Ortigas and Mandaluyong so you can scratch that A Walk To Remember reference if that's what you're thinking, lol. But it's literally a few kilometers from Ortigas which is why I also get confused!...
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...
After a few weeks of starving myself to death in preparation for our Iloilo trip, I was finally ready to harvest the fruits of my labor and indulge for 4 fucking days in glorious food. I didn't really know what Iloilo had in store for us. Good thing a co-worker who's from Iloilo went with us. We told him that we'll leave things...
Hola, lovelies! I hope you guys were able to enjoy the long weekend as much as I did! I spent the weekend in Baguio to celebrate (uber late) the boyf's birthday with his family. I also paid my lovely sisters a visit. I made sure I feed them good food which led me to recommending we eat lunch at Cafe by the Ruins....
Before summer started, I had this thinking that my body was okay and I'm not fat in any way. Yes, I wasn't THAT fat but I was definitely unhealthy. To make things worse, I committed myself to the GM diet program without prior preparation nor was I fully educated about the whole thing. I did lose a lot of weight but I think...
A couple of Sundays ago, my friend Tutchi asked me to accompany her to this Sunday Market so she can run her errands. Being the lazy ass that I am during weekends, I didn't really have anything productive planned so I tagged along. We went to Sidcor Sunday Market, it's located beside Eton Centris and won't be really difficult to find. I don't...
Ola! I'm not Spanish in any way, I just love using that greeting. Meh. For today's post, I'd like to formally introduce a new category on my blog, 'Kitchen Chronicles'! I'll be sharing recipes and my kitchen adventures! I just want to over share and go all out, the boyf and I not so formally moved together (This I will share in another...
Quick post before I head to the kitchen to cook dinner! Here's my cheat entry for the week, I've been quite obsessed with home cooking since I moved to a different unit and I love my kitchen so much! It has been rather easy to resist temptation with the new set up, but of course, I still cheated. LOL. ...
For those who know me, Baguio being my safe haven doesn't come as a surprise. Even my agents talk to me about the slightest Baguio-related stuff that they know about simply because they know I love the place. After college, I've mad it a point to visit the place once a month if my schedule permits, or every two months. The boyfriend also...
Summer's over but continuing the diet plan I started isn't. Over a month ago, I remember dropping by the clinic to get me some Advil and I decided to hop on the scale. I was surprised while looking at where the arrow was pointing at--55kls. The last time I hopped on a scale I was at 45kls, during our last physical exam I...
If there's anything I splurge on more than shoes and clothes, it's food. I can scrimp on stilettos and bandage dresses but not food, especially when it's worth it--and I'm not on a diet. Lol. I recall quite vividly how we were led to the Steak haven that is Brickfire. My friends and I decided to drop by Shopwise Katipunan to get stuff...
When I was in College, I'd spend more money on alcohol than on real food. Not because I'm an alcoholic but because studying in Baguio + alcohol = perfect combination.I'm not saying you should do it too, you know. I'm just saying that because of it, I learned to save my money and be creative with food, just because I had to spend...
This is a long overdue post. The boyf celebrated his birthday last August but I'm only posting this now! Lol. The enthusiasm to say something about the photos is not there anymore. Probably because this is not all about me. I'm so self-centered. Kidding! ...
Ochi is a twenty-something Corporate Trainer who loves to cook, take photos and videos of her food, eat and travel. On weekends, she's either drunk or snuggling in bed watching her favorite crime drama.
