Hi guys, what a time for all of us. I sincerely hope that wherever in the world you are, you and your loved ones are keeping safe and healthy. I’ve been in Miami, Florida since mid-January. I was supposed to fly back home to Manila […]

I took the food intolerance test at Hi-Precision Diagnostics at Powerplant Mall in Rockwell, Makati a few months ago because I was curious. I had heard about it from friends who had taken it, and as a food journalist and blogger, I eat basically everything for a […]

You guys know I’ve been spending some time in Miami this year, and I was thrilled to be in the city for one of it’s most important events– Art Basel Miami 2018! Held every year during the first week of December, Art Basel Miami is the […]
