After a hard day's work, I usually look for something nice to eat. Call it my reward, if you must. Fortunately I found one such restaurant which offers me "comfort" whenever I feel drained from work. Introduced by colleagues from work, Shinjuku Ren is my "after-work&q…
Imagine the taste of Asia in just one place! That's how I felt when we ate at Makansutra located at the 2nd floor of Manila Ocean Park in Luneta, Manila. Inspired by Singapore's hawkers, it reminded me the Lion City... Hainanese chicken Chicken …

I am not even a food critic. I just love to eat and try different places. So when we passed by Estrella St in San Antonio Village Makati and saw 8065 Bagnet house, I got interested. I became even more convinced to try it out when my friend Felix told us food is great. (I trusted Felix o…
My feet couldn’t walk fast enough as I maneuver the flight of stairs. I couldn’t believe I’m rushing like this. It had been weeks since we last saw each other. Weeks since she was assigned to a project that entailed her to be in another place… Out of the office, out of my sight. …

I rushed to the office and punched in my card. Couldn't believe I made it. Ha! This is the second month I was never late. Where before it never bothered me whether I arrived on time or not, the past months had been different. I had something to look forward to when going to work. Rea…
Inspired by a friend... I looked at her and secretly smiled. There she goes again, doodling while biting her lips. I watched as she tucked her hair behind her ears and looked down at the paper she was writing on. To others who would look at her, it would appear that she was not …
After 5 years, AX had its summer outing. However, this was done in mid-February, before it was really summer. The laughter, games and bonding are normal images. What struck me was the beautiful sunrise, and the moments of AX people, as they bask in the new day... The new day da…
