Auro's Bean to Bar, Not Just a Chocolate Concept


Started from a search of one’s spiritually and founded not just her passion but also the gold in chocolates.

Back in 2010, during a difficult time Ms. Jackie Go was in pursuit of her higher being and at the same time was prospecting for the best cacao in the country. All along Ms. Nieva Cornejo was with her. She helped  looked for farmers and founded the criollo porcelana, the rarest variety of cacao in Davao. Yet farmers didn't know its true value and the market was not in good shape they were cutting down trees. So they worked hand-in-hand with these farmers to restore cacao production. Bringing bean-to-bar concept to a whole new level.

Lake Como, Como, Italy
Can you possibly visit two European countries in one day?  The answer is yes!

Many travellers have actually made this tour, maximizing both their time and Schengen visas validation. 

With our ever trustee tour guides, the Manlapaz family, on their limited edition Chrysler Grand Voyager, my kids and I were able to visit two famous European lakes in one day, each one located on different countries separated by a border.

Mangiare! To Eat at Alzaia Naviglio Pavese


When my sibs' friends found out that I'm here in Milan, they organized a dinner at one of the sought-after dining place in Milano.  They knew right away where to bring me so I can feel that sweet way of Milanese welcome with the Filipino\s touch of course.

Filipinos and Italians have one thing in common - the love and passion for food!

Hence, we ate, but first we met up at Naviglio Grande and we all joined at Maya.

Duomo di Milano, A Guide for the Wanderers



No one is to leave Milan without ever visiting Duomo di Milano.  It's always the priority on the list of tourists, as it is iconic as the majestic history of Italy.

Hence, it was the first landmark my sister had us visit on our first day.  Together with my two kids, my sister, Wilma, who lived here for almost 20 years, brought us to Piazza del Duomo and we rode the tram on the 16th.  From Via Venosa, where they live, it's only 10 stops which took only 15 minutes.
