I heart Little Tokyo!

I was really meaning to write a 300 review but remembering those 2,400 plus abs is just too much for moi (masakit sa puson)! Anyway, I’ll turn to the next best thing to hunky dudes – food! Sugoi Saturday was indeed sugoi! Aside from being able to see pretty girls in cute maid uniforms, I also discovered Little Tokyo! It’s actually a small area in a corner of Makati City (along Pasong Tamo) that houses several...

Carbonated drinks turn healthy

According to New York Times Online, Coke and Pepsi are soon to follow the health bandwagon with their brand new “sparkling” colas, which are basically your favorite colas but this time with fortifiers! I don’t know when or if these new Diet Coke Plus and Pepsi Tava will hit the Philippine market. I don’t exactly buy the whole “health” thing. After all, Coke and Pepsi, even fortified with vitamins...

Putting the ice on the buko

“The heat is on…” So you’ve just watched the latest video of Maria Ozawa. What’s the next best way to ease the heat? A nice chunk of ice buko, that’s what! No, I’m not asking you to do an American Pie here. You eat the darn thing, you lech! Anyway, if you’re a fan of Maria, then it wouldn’t hurt to have a constant supply of ice buko in your freezer. What you do is mix the water and...

Here’s the line-up of last Saturday’s program: Adamson University Bunka (Matsuri) Koryukai: An Adamson Experience .

Juujiro J-Culture Organziation, Inc. at the 2007 Nihongo Fiesta

Aside from the free mochi, the 34th Nihongo Speech Contest and the doll exhibits, the other cool thing about the 2007 Nihongo Fiesta was the fact that I had the chance to work my social skills to the max. One of the groups of which I had the honor to make an acquaintance was Juujiro J-Culture Organziation, Inc. which is a “non-profit, all-Filipino Youth Organization established last October 22, 2004, that undertakes special...

More mochi!

It was supposed to be a secret, but I guess the secret is out… The only reason why I went to last Saturday’s 2007 Nihongo Fiesta was because of the free mochi. Call me a glutton but I don’t think my love for the Japanese sweet (very similar to our own palitaw, a traditional Filipino rice delicacy that I adore) would actually send me to the fiery pits when my spirit leaves my earthly body. Weng-sensei looked at me...
