The City of Malabon launched a month-long celebration to commemorate its 413th Foundation Day. In connection with their founding anniversary, the Malabon Tourism Council launched the first Malabon Kulinarya Festival yesterday at the …

It’s February. Love is in the air. Are you starting to feel it? Kung hindi pa, maski may date man o wala, let’s celebrate love by sharing our love thoughts. What special dish/food makes you think of love and why?

The holiday is over, sad to say. But we’re glad to hear amazing food stories and photos from our readers and friends. Check out some of the photos shared by our friends in qwekqwek.com’s event last Christmas.

(Chicago) – Summer is festival season in Chicago. Almost every week there’s street fair or neighborhood festival going in some corner in the city. Where there is …

(Chicago) – It’s the time of the year again for grilling. I hosted a party last night to celebrate 4th of July and instead of servings slabs of steak and ribs, I thought of

(Chicago) – Last Christmas, I decided to join a group of impressive young friends to distribute food to the homeless in Chicago. Winter in this city is no joke…

(Chicago) – It’s been quite some time since my last post. Well, like most of the Filipinos from all over the world, my calendar was pretty swamped with various holiday festivities.

(Chicago) – I should feel guilty.  I am more excited for July 4 American independence day than the June 12 Philippine Independence. While my nationalistic hunger for anything-Filipino still remains intact, I can deduce that the only reason for this is BBQ. July 4 is the perfect holiday to bring out your grill, invite friends [...]

(Chicago) – A few weeks ago, my friend Jeremy threw a fabulous housewarming party to showcase his newly renovated abode in Chicago.  I had seen his place even before the renovation started and I can say that the transformation was spectacular.  The hardwood floor is really neat and the kitchen, with all its new cabinetry, [...]

(Chicago) - I have no interest at all in purchasing a property here in Chicago. For the past years, I was a contented renter moving around the city and exploiting the urban villages of Chicago; lesser obligations this way.
