We Don't Change (co-authored by Migs Bassig)
� � Change. Change pervades the world of the Filipino, and it has become, so to speak, a norm of life. It dictates the lives of our people. As such, Filipinos have been - for a lack of a better term - forced to go with it or be left behind. Eat or be eaten. Hunt or be [...]

The Beauty Up North
photo by Pong Ignacio "Good things happen to those who wait." Clich� as it may sound, the proverb holds true for anyone who wishes to visit Ilocos. 13 hours away from Manila, the travel is long as it is tiring. But if you're the patient type, the beauty of Ilocos sure makes any form of waiting [...]
National Make-Out Day
AP photo/Pat Roque If you're shopping at the Mall of Asia and you happen to notice thousands of people making out at the same time, don't worry, you didn't stumble upon a seedy porn taping. What it is, rather, is Close-Up's Lovapalooza. In the spirit of Valentine's, local toothpaste brand Close-Up is staging Lovapalooza 4, a kissing festival [...]
Manila Hotel
The Manila Hotel is one of the historical landmarks in the Philippines. It used to be called the “Aristocrat of the Orient” because many high-profile political figures and even royalty had stayed in its quarters. The Manila Hotel was constructed in 1912. The Manila Hotel is located at the heart of Manila itself; it is with [...]
The Cross on the Mountaintop
Its place in the pecking order of prominent national landmarks is not as high as the likes of Rizal Park, Quezon Circle, and the Banaue Rice Terrace. But when it comes to historical significance, the Dambana ng Kagitingan (The Shrine of Valor) in Bataan towers above its counterparts. Located at the summit of Mt. Samat in Pilar, Bataan [...]

Hairspray The Musical Live on Stage at Manila
I have to admit something. I’m absolute in loathe with Zac Efron. I mean, come on! He’s so not a good actor. He can sing, I’ll give him that, but act? Eh? With one expression on his face? Meh. It’s probably the reason why I hate High School Musical to death. And it’s possibly the reason why [...]

Vince’s Life: The Next Chapter - Getting Over Andrea is the sequel [...]

It’s quite amusing how burnt-out I feel when I’ve been my usual bum self for the past couple of weeks. Even my mom’s untimely confinement to the hospital hasn’t fazed me to exhaustion like it did four years ago. My brother has been less of an ass lately, possibly the effect of having to spend [...]

Recipes for simple and delicious home-cooked meals
Marinating a whole chicken

... my husband, Speedy, cooked tequila pork loin and followed the cooking instructions in the cookbook to the letter. He needed Ziploc bags, I gave him one, and how he marinated the pork loins gave me an idea. The bags are large enough to hold a whole chicken, so, why not? It saves a lot of space in the fridge (the bags can be stacked one on top of the other), the meat need not be submerged in the marinade, and turning is a breeze -- just turn the entire bag and that's it.

Mom & Tina's Bakery Cafe

Today was a day for shopping for curtain fabrics and curtain rods. After completing my purchases at Fabric Warehouse in Libis, Quezon City, we proceeded to Causeway for a very late lunch. Dimsum mostly, although my daughter Sam ordered a shrimp wonton soup for herself. Disappointed that Causeway didn't serve egg tarts, we decided to have our dessert elsewhere. At Mom & Tina's, my husband suggested, which was a short five-minute drive away. We've never eaten there before although we're not totally unfamiliar with the bakery's products. When friends came over to the house a couple of weeks ago, they brought a tray of Mom & Tina's profiteroles, we liked it very much and my husband went to Mom & Tina's a few days later, bought a box of profiteroles and brought it home.

Chicken and mushrooms pasta

Spaghetti with chicken, brown button mushrooms, vegetables and pesto

My younger daughter, Alex, woke me up on Saturday morning with an announcement that she wanted pasta for lunch. With pesto, she said, and chicken. I said, sure, and figured I might as well go all the way and add mushrooms and a medley of vegetables too. She helped with the cooking, grated the cheese, cut the mushrooms and tomatoes, and did some stirring, then it was on to a great lunch. Too bad the man of the house was out at work and had to miss the spaghetti with chicken, brown button mushrooms, vegetables and pesto.

Twilight movie thoughts
Seeing your favorite fictional characters from a book come to life in a movie is magical. The first time Edward Cullen appeared on-screen, I couldn’t help but give a silent squeal.

Solace among books
There were days in grade school and high school when I would spend a whole lunch hour in the library because I didn't have anyone to spend lunch with.

If You're Not Informed, A Mob You Will Join
