Fat Fook Manila Serves Authentic Taiwan Foodie Experience

Everyone I know who goes out of the country has Taiwan as their top destination. Why wouldn’t it be when seat sales are happening all year round and the country is now Visa-free for Filipinos? Beautiful travel spots and incredible dining experiences are among the great things that the country has to offer. When the craving for Taiwanese cuisine hits, foodies no longer have to book a roundtrip plane ticket to Taiwan to get their fill. Fat Fook Manila is opening their second branch in Robinsons Galleria to serve authentic Taiwanese flavors.

Three Reasons Non-Fans Should See Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Let’s admit it. Not everyone is a Star Wars fan, very much like not everyone is a Potterhead. That’s not a problem at all. In fact, I think that is interesting. To be honest, before Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, I was not a fan of the franchise. The story of the film then cemented my love for the narrative. Now that Star Wars: The Last Jedi is out, you can’t help but miss out on the film that everybody is talking about! Worry not because here are three reasons why you should still see the biggest movie of the year even if you are not a fan! Read more about Three Reasons Non-Fans Should See Star Wars: The Last Jedi

REVIEW: Ballet Manila Presents Snow White

A large chunk of my childhood at home was spent watching Disney classics such as The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Snow White. The latter is one of my favorites because of the magic in its story and the tale of good triumphing over evil. Its multidimensional characters also hooked me to the story. With that said, it is no surprise that I am more than stoked when I received an invite from Ballet Manila to attend the world premiere of Lisa Macuja-Elizalde’s Snow White.

Bloggers Night at Chatsi Coffee House & Beanery

There is a new hang-out spot in the South! As a Laguna kid, my family and friends’ go-to place is Nuvali, Paseo de Sta.Rosa, or Tagaytay. Well, no surprise there because it has everything we need- cafes, restaurants, and open spaces. But I also know that it is best to avoid those areas this holiday season because the traffic is horrible. Good for us, Chatsi Coffee House & Beanery is very accessible. On top of that, they serve great food! They served us their best dishes and drinks from the menu during the Bloggers Night and I can’t wait to share them all with you!

Sweeter Visits to the North with Mio Gelati's Flagship Store in Vertis North

As a south kid blogger, I consider attending events beyond Ortigas a journey! These areas are easily reachable but the traffic makes everything extra bad! Well, that will no longer be the case. Recently, my favorite gelato shop opened their first flagship store in the northern side of the metro. Mio Gelati is now up and running in Ayala Vertis North. On November 10, I attended the grand launch along with other food and lifestyle bloggers. We were treated to their best-sellers and even introduced us to their new line of treats!

Digital Financial Literacy Initiatives from Sun Life

I’m at this point in my life where I should be carefree with my money. I have a regular job, I have some bills to pay, but also, I have my expenses for leisure. But sometimes, I tend to go overboard my budget. I can admittedly say that I am not as financially literate as I would want to become. Simple budgeting is not enough. Luckily for me, and for us millennial, Sun Life launched three digital financial literacy initiatives that will help Filipinos be smarter with their money.
