Do you know what I found out about cooking? It’s not as complicated as I thought. I’ve always thought that cooking involved about 15 ingredients, an oven, a stove, at least 5 pots or pans, and a drawer of kitchen tools. But, I was dead wrong because I found out, around late last year, that cooking […]

I know how difficult it is to plan a vacation. Trust me, I’ve attempted to plan trips within the Philippines to get my family started on taking yearly family vacations, but with the cost of the hotels and inns, plus the fares, plus not knowing what to do upon arriving, it proved to be too […]

Danjugan Island – you’ve probably already heard of it and seen it in pictures like I have. I haven’t been to the place, but friends say it’s a piece of heaven on earth. FYI, if your idea of paradise is a commercialized island with a booming nightlife, this is not for you. But, if you want to […]
Roli’s Cafe – I think it was more of Roli’s Diner back then. I can’t remember eating at the place when I was younger, but my parents do, and they say that it was one of the most popular places to eat. I asked my mom (who also loves to eat and cook) what Roli’s Cafe dishes were […]
