I am always on the lookout for places to order food.  You see, with my in laws' growing family, and to be honest - we're getting too rowdy for restaurants because of the kids.  We prefer to be in a place where grandkids can be themselves and enjoy their cousin's company.  We've decided, why not just stay home (most of the time) - it's more comfortable for us and for the kids.  Order food in and enjoy it without being conscious if we're too noisy or taking too much time and space. Rang is friend who I met through the #ClosetCleanoutSale2016 where we were both vendors.  I just discovered after that event na she's the older sister of my friend Ro!  The world is so tiny!  A few weeks ago, Rang posted on IG that she's finally decided to dive into the party platter food business because of the wonderful feedback from friends who have tasted her dishes.  I immediately asked for her menu and was so happy to learn that her kitchen is nearby. ...

I've always been fascinated with charm bracelets ever since learning that trinkets on these charm bracelets hold so much meaning to the one wearing them.  Each and every trinket holds a special memory or symbolism.  So picking a trinket or pendant is not just based on what's cute or what's pretty - it's based on something more meaningful and memorable. So this Mother's Day head on to Thomas Sabo and get something meaningful for mom.  Choose from Thomas Sabo's wonderful collection, and start building memories.  They have pendants, charm bracelets, trinkets, earrings, bracelets and more!  You can mix and match to suit mom's taste.  Be adventurous or stay classic - whatever you like, I'm sure there is something in store for you and mom!

In Tokyo - there are Yoshinoya stores everywhere.  There's also the competing brand, Matsuya all over too.  Every time I wanted to go in and try it, well - my Panget will discourage me.  I remember friends saying that the Yoshinoya beef bowl tastes so much better in Japan than in Manila (obviously).  But last year, I managed to buy a Yoshinoya beef bowl for take away when i saw a take away counter near the Gina subway station.  While my Panget did something, I ran to the booth and ordered.  Their service was quite fast and I was really happy about it.  I was smiling like crazy as I walked to him showing him my purchase.  He then told me to try it right there and then, I guess he was curious too!  So we ate it, standing outside the station while the kids sat on their strollers.  Hahaha! The verdict?  Well, it's a very simple, affordable dish that is filling.  It serves its purpose, it's not the best but it's good enough to s...
