Blinks: Our Red Hot Wreath

We haven’t done Blinks in so long but I’ve actually been taking lots of pictures lately with my phone. Thanks to Instagram, a Twitter-like application but with pictures. I have a slew of post-processing apps on my phone now and it’s pretty amazing. Additionally, because it’s like Twitter with followers and stuff, I learned so [...]

No Mental Picture Required

With less than a month to go for our trip…OMG it is less than a month… I’m really starting to pack. Well, not exactly putting my stuff in my luggages yet but listing them all down, ordering things as necessary, especially ordering euros, and just making sure where things are. Two of the things we [...]

Getting Ready for Snowboarding Season

Four years ago, my trainers at work taught me how to snowboard. A few years before that, Chef attempted to learn snowboarding. He broke his shoulder, and was horrified since. But when my trainers taught me, which included a lesson for Chef, it was only because he learned the wrong and hard way the first [...]

Blinks: Nebula

I confess. I am not entirely satisfied with the iPhone. For a got-my-hands-full woman like me, its inability to multi-task is a great turn off. But, one of the things I actually like about the iPhone are the photo apps. They just make the PhotoShop non-wizard me look like I have been editing photos for [...]

Wanderlust / Taste Buds: Ilocos Sur, Philippines

Ms C and I, along with our family, appreciate all the love and care of our friends who have extended their sympathies and have comforted us in this difficult time. Our family is now rolling with the punches with the loss of our grandfather, which is why it has been difficult for me to blog. [...]

Blinks: Red

Last year, September 25, 2009, was a day of red. It was the color assigned for Captain Awesome’s class for the Salu-Salo, which was some sort of family day in Ateneo. A mini-program was held in the classroom along with some games before and after lunch/snack. After the classroom shindig, families went off their way to [...]

Blinks: One Year Ago

One year ago from today, Chef and I legalized our commitment to each other and our relationship. Our civil wedding was held in the beautiful San Francisco City Hall. It was humble compared to the church wedding that we had three months later. We got up, made breakfast, I did my own hair and make-up, [...]

Taste Buds: Mediterranean Dinner Part 1: Panfried Red Snapper with Basil and Citrus

After our first cooking adventure, Cindy and I had time to plan the next one and we had decided on making a Mediterranean dinner for Chef and Cindy’s fiance. It was pretty much by default that we chose this cuisine because of Chef’s several cookbooks staring at us. I will post our 3-course meal in, [...]

Taste Buds: Homemade Marinara Sauce/Spaghetti alla Bolognese

Okay, I know this is simple for a lot of people. But believe me, making a sauce from scratch rather than buying a jar is a huge accomplishment for me. Incidentally, a lady who makes tamales gave us loads of tomatoes. Like a sign from the cooking gods, my CuisinArt newsletter featured my blender, with [...]
