Holy Holi

The Festival of Colors known in India as "Holi," celebrates the commencement of spring. Participants in the event use colored powder to toss into the air and onto each other. Originally an agricultural festival intended to celebrate the arrival of spring and commemorate various events in Hindu mythology, Holi is, according to one Indian website, ‘a time when man and nature alike throw off the gloom of winter and rejoice in the colours and liveliness of spring’. This year Holi festival will begin on the 27th of March.  

The way the colored powder moves and spreads through the air is a real work of art. Spectacular colors and vibrance in an emotive explosion. Those shots makes me jealous. If only I could teleport to India to celebrate and douse myself with brightly tinted powders along with them. If only...

I am trying to match up with them. Haha!! Buti na lang I bought these powdered candies the other day.

My baby sister could not stop herself from dipping her finger into my hand.

Please tell me where can I purchase gulal powders?? 

Tramway Buffet Plaza

If you are really hungry or like a lot of variety when you go out to eat, this all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant in Shaw will let you have lots of food at an affordable price. This has all the foods that I enjoy! Their menu includes vegetable salad, Chinese Dimsum, pasta, California Maki, spring roll, desserts and more. The buffet sitting room is huge too. Definitely one of the best values in town. In contrast to Cabalen in Glorietta (another buffet restaurant we've visited just last week) their food has a limited selection compared to Tramway.   so, are all the pictures blurry??

It's Prom season!

Chinese Lunar New Year

Me and my dad are mostly mistaken as Chinese. We're no Chinese pero nakicelebrate kami ng New Year nila. February 10 marks and a day of celebrations to herald the beginning of the Year of the Snake. Also, it marks the first time we joined the activity-filled celebration in Binondo. 

My family and I had lunch at Ying Ying, our favorite Chinese restaurant in Binondo. The streets are alive with Dragon dances and street performers.  Restaurants and establishments are all packed with people. I’ve been here several times, but never like this.

And then spend the rest of the day in Resorts World

Dinner at Cafe Maxims 

This is the sort of place you go to be pampered by waiters who are proud of the fine food they are presenting. The menu is small but expertly prepared.

Philippines is a unique and diverse country in every way - in culture, cuisine, population, geography, and history.

cookies, anyone??

My friend is selling cookies as a side job.

She sent me samples and pictures. 

Oh good heavens, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted. Plus, the packaging is just too cute. Hopefully that gives you enough encouragement to try it yourself.
