Several weeks ago, my children and I found better, healthier and tastier dessert in SM– Red Berry Frozen Yogurt!  What I love about Red.Berry are the whole range of fresh fruits and toppings to choose from.   My children went gaga over the sprinklers, but I went and got myself a tub with kiwis, strawberry and raspberries.  Having frozen yogurt beats eating icecream.  Healthier and tastier than calorie laden icecream! Although...

When I went to Manila for the Wordcamp Philippines, I decided to meet up with my friends from UP-ORG.  I have not seen most of them since 1997.  Anyways, because of Facebook and text messaging, we all managed to converge and we decided to meet at 77 Bar Cafe Resto in Kamuning. The trip from Cagayan de Oro was swift.  I arrived at the Kabayan Hotel at 6pm and after a swift check in, I unpacked my things and decided that the best mode of...

My girls and I are allergic to nuts. In fact we are allergic to so many ingredients that its hard to eat out. We tend to stick to the restaurants we like in town and avoid most of those darn dishes with ingredients I am not familiar with. Mahal magkasakit, err, bawal magkasakit. Our medical bills escalated a few months ago because of the funky weather here and I blame it all to climate change and Nutella.  Nutella, that delicious hazelnut...

Anyway, looking for a place to eat was challenging as half of the restaurants in the...

One of the places we liked while in Boracay was the Yellow Cab Pizza place at Station 2, Station 3.  The children simply had a blast sitting there and watching people walk by.  The Yellow Cab Pizza Branch in Boracay only has a few tables, and the place was a little cramp, but hey, the food just like any Yellow Cab was fab. We had our all time favorite Hawaiian Pizza, Hot Wings and my favorite mouthwatering, Twice Baked Potato Halves.  For...

When my sister told me she is taking us all to Boracay, I was hesitant mainly because I will be traveling with 4 children.  Just imagine me in the airport lagging along small children plus a luggage.  Number 2, although I will be traveling with my father, he is ancient and has a hearing problem, so I actually consider myself traveling with 5 children.  Whew… Anyway, since my lovely and generous sister paid for our lodging and airfare, I...
