TASTE BUDDIES BY THE BAY

Are you craving for a unique dining experience that is best enjoyed with your family, significant other or barkada? Well, this Saturday, your Taste Buddies will treat you to an unforgettable gastronomic feast where foods are served fast, fresh and flavourful!

At Seaside, along Macapagal Avenue, join Solenn Heussaff and Isabelle Daza, together with Katrina and Sheena Halili, as they relish the terrific view of the Manila Bay, all the while indulging in appetizing seafood!

What makes the trip at Seaside truly unique is their concept of “paluto” service, wherein customers can buy fresh seafood in the market and ask the restaurant chef to cook it for them! And since our Taste Buddies are always on the lookout to savour adventure, they will raid the Seaside market and prepare the dishes themselves!

It’s not every day that we can see our favourite Pinay celebrities like Solenn, Belle, Sheena or Katrina do their own shopping at the market, or even clean fish (talk about pagtanggal ng kaliskis or hasang here!) , or wash shrimp and seashells in the kitchen! But this Saturday, they’re all set to reveal that they’re pretty much like the rest of the Pinays out there who have to endure the usual kitchen tasks at home!

See how the girls make the most out of their Seaside adventure and food trip by the bay, this Saturday, 5:40 p.m. on GMA News TV.

Caramel!

I love it when it's Caramel Brown. :)

Life and the Movies

Ikr, sometimes you just wish life is just like the movies. And during times of distress, your knight in shining armor- may be in the form of Richard Gere-comes in to rescue you. Perhaps your dream girl saves you from frantically drowning ala Pamela Anderson of Baywatch. (Ooooh)

Or when you are gloomy, tired and alone and stranded in the streets during an unforgiving downpour, the Amazing Spiderman enters the frame, albeit inverted, to comfort the lady with a wet kiss. (U huh)

Dont you just wish you can get lost in the mystery and magic of the movies: where lighting creates an ambiance, music sets the mood and makeup covers the imperfection.

Voila! Perfect!

But it is all staged. And everyone acts.

You know, in life, it is pretty much the same. The world is our stage and we are all actors. But there's no Academy Award.
Too bad, we would have won for the Best and Worst Version of Us. Depending on the scene.

Bdays and all

You know what would make me smile on my birthday?

To know that I could go on that day without ever having to worry about work, or hounded by deadlines and pressured to read and answer the emails. 

To know that I'm going to be spending the day with the people I love and do what we want to do together, without minding to answer a single call or text message when my phone rings.

To be remembered by people who are close to me, and those I hold dear in my heart, and read their genuine, heartfelt dedication, some of which are perhaps sent the moment the clock strikes midnight that day.

And if you're still reading this now, a handwritten letter or greeting from you is more than fine a birthday gift! Call it a fan sign if you like, haha!

I thank heavens, I caught up with the generation that considered writing letters is not a bore! I was fond of doing that and my friends are witnesses...! Haha.

But Im quite sad to know that my generation is soo tamad. Or effortless. IDK, I just probably miss receiving letters, or that feeling to see one's handwriting on paper and his/her thoughts on it.

I hope this act does not die, the way Newsweek stopped publishing printed versions and eventually sticked to digital editions.

I just want to receive a handwritten letter on my birthday, thats it. Hahaha.
