204/365: First couple of shots (on Auto mode) using Canon S90
admin | July 23, 2010 | 2:58 pm | Project 365 | No comments

Thanks to a reputable online gadget seller who sold me my newest toy to date, a Canon S90. Tagged by KenRockwell himself as the World’s Best Pocket Camera. I am one giddy lady! I love that I do not have to lug around with my other heavy weight dslr baby, Nikki. My nature of job calls for a quality camera and with the hundreds, possibly thousands of reviews I browsed through online, this is the winner! I’ll do the giddy dance in this blog post if I can. :D

191/365: Magyar Restaurant in Paseo de Magallanes
admin | July 10, 2010 | 12:00 am | Project 365 | No comments

The Magyar Restaurant in Paseo de Magallanes is definitely one of the yummiests finds I’ve had in months. Beyond Hungarian sausages, there was nothing else Hungarian I knew about before I visited them for the first time last month. One of the things that I loved about Magyar Restaurant is their unique scrapbook menu. Each page will transport you to Hungary and its culture. Read more »

190/365: Wheatgrass Project

It has been over a month since I started cultivating wheatberries. I failed on my first attempt and my lack of having green thumbs got the best of me (again)!But never say die. So dead as they are, I scooped out 1/4c. of fresh, brand new wheatgrass seeds and started over. I have since juiced my wheatgrass twice and I’m currently on my third and fourth trays.

I am a self confessed sweet tooth and this is my runaway favorite from the Portuguese restaurant, O’sonho – chocolate ganache.

It readily took care to top our meal when we last went to O’sonho. I could easily finish one serving all by myself. Read more »

One thing for sure, I’ve had better tasting Kinilaw na Tanigue in my life. Even for someone who was famished, this was plain and so-so. This is one dish my husband and I share a love for – everything kinilaw. Read more »

182/365: Facial spa at Active White Health & Beauty Center

That’s my dear husband getting all “dolled up” in Active White Health & Beauty Center. Okay, not exactly dolled up. But he is here getting his long overdue facial cleaning treatment. I hope I could share photos I took during my own treatment. The aesthetician who worked on my face was “Be’” and she was really good. I was hoping I could share pictures I took of myself, but nothing was share-worthy. ;-)

180/365: Tofu Sisig ala Jennie
admin | June 29, 2010 | 6:04 pm | Project 365, photo entry | No comments

Today is the day that I attempted to make my very own Tofu Sisig ala Greens. And I failed. It was good. But nothing like that of Greens. It has been years since my husband and I went to dine at Greens. It can be a little far from where we live. But it is the best vegetarian restaurant we have been to ever.
