After watching a re-run of One Direction: This Is Us on HBO one weekend, I decided to seek out some of the songs I heard on the movie, particularly Change My Mind. This song from their first album Take Me Home is memorable to me. I particularly like the chorus mainly because of the melody and secondly the lyrics. It's romantic. I'm a girl, so I definitely fall for the I'll-give-up-anything-for-you lines. A part of...
For the longest time, I've turned to my Chinese mentholated stick for all minor ailments, specifically headaches and migraines--which I used to get a lot of. It's also my go-to medicine for insect bites, stuffy nose, and biyahilo (motion sickness). And it works. Amazingly enough. But then I got to try Human Heart Nature's Balm for All Seasons and I've been converted. For one, it smells much, much nicer than the stick. I can definitely...

Beef, Beef, Hooray! Let's Meat Up Lunch Event
It was a good day for a scrumptious lunch. And I had the best one yet, thanks to the Let's Meat Up event held at Kitchen 1B in Makati. I was able to fill my stomach with top-notch beef and lamb from Australia through dishes prepared by US-based food blogger and Asian food proponent Malou Perez-Nievera (SkiptoMalou). The luncheon table made up of guest bloggers, MLA, and Kitchen 1B peeps Showcasing different meat cuts in...

KNATION 2014: UKISS in Manila
Last October 5, KNATION Music Showcase 2014 was held at the SMX Convention Center in MOA. It showcased 5 Kpop groups with the main act being UKISS. The other 4 were MPire, Bigstar, 4 Ladies, and Winners Crew (a dance group). I know of MPire and Bigstar because I've seen them on M Countdown, and Feeldog, leader of Bigstar, as a guest on KBS's Dream Team. This is the first time I've of 4 Ladies...

Reinventing the buffet concept in the country to match those in the international scene is NIU by Vikings. The stylish, elegant restaurant is located on the 6th floor of SM Aura Premiere and offers an upscale dining experience fit for the rich and famous. Thanks to the Blogapalooza 2014 I was able to experience, a little, of what it feels like to dine here. NIU offered a tour of the restaurant between services (lunch and...
Ok, I never thought I'd see this one day: idol group members singing a crazy song and not being totally right in the head while doing so. I'd peg this right up there with Psy's Gangnam Style and Lim Chang Jung's Yeoboseo. However, the lyrics of this one is funnier, probably because of its truthfulness and simplicity. The song is catchy enough to make you want to listen to it over and over again. Big...
One Friday, after a particularly long week at work, I decided to treat myself to a delicious spread. I was planning on eating ramen at Hanamaruken in TriNoma, which was recommended by a friend. But that day was humid and hot, and I didn't think I can take devouring hot noodle soup. So what to do? Eat somewhere else, of course! So, I ended up at Ginza Bairin, just beside the ramen place. After a...
