Aston’s Buffet @ Centrepoint {Foodee}
We had a late celebration of Gay’s birthday sometime last month at Aston’s in Centrepoint. Now Aston’s has always been one of my favorite restaurants because they have really affordable but delicious meals and they have branches in lots of places. The Centrepoint branch is their only one that offers a buffet, however, and their […]
Back to My Hometown
Finally after two weeks of flying and driving all over Hong Kong and the Philippines, I arrived in my hometown and stayed for just one whole day. Cray-cray, I know. So I had to use my time there wisely and this is what I did. I woke up to breakfast on our table. Dad had […]
My Father’s Hometown
After going on a road trip to meet up with relatives from Mom’s side, it was Dad’s turn. After touching down in our home city’s airport, we went home to leave our stuff and I grabbed a couple of hours of shut-eye then we were on the road again. I rode a bus with the […]
Mindanao Road Trip
After traveling to Hong Kong and Cebu, we finally landed in Mindanao, but not in our hometown yet, oh no. We had to make a stop in Cagayan de Oro first so we could visit with our relatives from Mom’s side of the family. It had been four years since she last visited them, and […]

Throwback Thursday: Gummy Lump
In Robert Fulghum’s book All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, a book of essays about life, there is a chapter titled “Gummy Lump” which is what the author calls a shoebox where he keeps all the handmade notes and cards that his children had given him over the years. It’s a […]
The Phantom of the Opera (Musical)
♫ He’s here… the Phantom of the Opera… ♫ The Phantom of the Opera, one of the most famous musicals of all time (fun fact: it is the most successful and longest-running show on broadway) is back in Singapore. I just barely missed it when it was here last, in 2008, as I moved here […]
Cebu City, Philippines {Deetour}
Our flights to and from Hong Kong were from Cebu, so I had around a couple of days to enjoy the city. On the first day, we didn’t do much, just had lunch and rested for a bit. We had lunch at Mang Inasal in Robinson’s mall. I had chicken inasal with rice and halo-halo […]
