I’m a very loyal nail spa client. Proof? I was a very regular client of CANS (California Nail and Spa) in Greenhills. I was their loyal client for I think 7 years? It has been that long, I was so sad that they closed down. When they did – I followed my ‘favorite’ manicurista, a…

Yaya Diaries: Yaya Ritchie
A month before my SIL gave birth, she found a yaya. Since she didn’t need her yet – she lent her to me to be ‘trained’. And so I interviewed Yaya Ritchie when she got to my house. I always interview to scare, haha! Bad, right? But I do that so that my helpers know…
Cooking Quest: Arroz Caldo ala Didi’s mom
I have been wanting to cook Arroz Caldo for years, but was too scared to do so. I honestly had no idea how to cook lugaw/congee. I just know that a shortcut would be to put uncooked rice in a small container, put water and freeze it. The frozen uncooked rice makes it easier for…

Papa John’s Carbonara Pizza
I LOVE PIZZA. For me its a the complete food! It has carbs, protein and veggies – and all in 1 bite! Hahaha.. But seriously, I love pizzas. Ask my Panget and he will tell you, pizzas are one of my favorite food (the all time favorite is french fries). I first heard of Papa…
