I am in my element the most– and feel most alive when I travel.  It isn’t so much just about hopping onto a plane, checking into a hotel and then doing some shopping– well at least for me anyway. Rather, travel is all about opening […]

My post on MINI Hotel Causeway Bay was one of the most popular ones in 2014. It’s not easy to figure out why, as it’s possibly the most stylish and hip BUDGET hotels in Hong Kong, priced at only P3,000++ to P5,000++ / night (at least […]

I’m not going to lie. When we did a tour of City of Dreams Manila when it opened last December 14, 2014, and I was told the concept of The Tasting Room was, well, tasting menus, I became disinterested. I mentally waved it off as “just […]

I found myself in Hong Kong a lot towards the latter part of 2014. More like, 4 weekends in a 3 months. The best news is that I’m now an official frequent visitor to Hong Kong, which means I no longer have to queue at the long arrival and departure lines, hooray!! […]

Last October 8, 2014, we celebrated Lifestyle Asia’s 27th anniversary with a gala entitled “Spreading the Table,” featuring the Best of Philippine Cuisine. This year, we supported 2 causes that are very close to my heart: Filipino flavors that champion and support our local produce and farmers; and the rehabilitation efforts […]
