Boulangerie 22, Magallanes Branch

After processing my siblings Italian citizenship documents at TIA, along Pasong Tamo, Ext., It's weird that their address says Magallanes, though I know Magallanes to be the village which was on the other side of SLEX.  I searched for a coffee place nearby through Zomato.

Boulangerie 22 came up which was just 5 minutes away of drive.  I took the jeepney towards Fort Bonifacio and got there in no time.  It was already passed 4 pm, the cafe seems gloomy since no one was there except for the two staff behind the counter.

Sugar Cookies Ala Martha Stewart with A Big Help from The Little Whisk and Memory Crafters

Sweet September is almost ending and its days really flew by just like that, too quick and planning the month was inevitable, or maybe my life is too damn complicated and crazy.

I always, rely on the thought that time management always gets many moms through their days. But, boy, no matter how I arrange my scheds, something always comes up and I've no option but to compromise my schedules.  My timetable, unlike other moms, even professional ones, isn't predictable and it becomes unmanageable everyday.

A Taste of Hong Kong 3

When the news broke about Ian Wright coming to Manila, I was like "for real!?!"  I mean, I still couldn't get over the event seeing Nigella Lawson in the flesh, here in Manila.

Shortly, flashes of him eating frozen elk meat or deer guts in Greenland, winding up alleys somewhere or catching fish barehanded and cooking it in open fire.  These are memorable moments seen from his globe-trotting times with Lonely Planet.  Lonely Planet was a show we used to watch some 15 years or so ago.

Five Things Why Dona Elena Olive Oil is in My Grocery List

I've grown to love olive oil not only because of the depth of flavor it brings to the dishes i cook at home, but more because of the many health benefits which science had proved it has.

EVOO, as how I would prefer to call it, and primarily use, is my secret to a youthful version of me. Did you know that for centuries, olive oil has been used to maintain the suppleness of skin and muscle, to heal abrasions, to give body and sheen to hair and soothe the drying effects of sun and wind.  My mother would always tell me that olive oil has been used in folk remedies in Italy, for an array of uses; strengthening weak nails, aiding in digestion, curing the effects of alcohol consumption, relieving aching muscles, lowering blood pressure and many other uses.  She would tell me how an old Italian lady would suggest her to take a tablespoon of it when she feels heavy on the tummy, like when having constipation.

The Youngest of the Pack is Now Eleven

Eleven...

I'm not talking about the inexplicable character in Stranger Things, the trending Netflix series.  It's now my daughter's age.  As she turned a year higher than ten, I can see that she will achieve what she aspires for even at an early age.  Being the youngest, she had been "the" go-to girl for everything. You know as in all her siblings order her to do this and that - from getting their stuff, cleaning around, and yes, down to the intensely emotional act of injecting insulin to her older sister (well in an exaggerated manner of me telling).

Marco Polo Davao: A Class of it's Own

Davao City, said to be the safest city in Mindanao, was hit with a terrible terrorism attack weeks ago.  Heartbreaking news of people not surviving the bombing have been the hot topic in the news for a week since it happened.  However, I still think it still has that charm to bring people in the city despite the saddening news.
