    Why I Recommend Marvel’s Agent Carter

    Happy Sunday! How is your weekend coming along? We went to SM Megamall yesterday to go malling and while there, claim my free Starbucks drink.

    How I Replicate the High-End Steak Experience at Home

    How did you celebrate Valentine’s day last weekend? We just stayed in but had a very special family dinner at home. We didn’t want to go out and go through the hassles of traffic, parking and wheelchair access issues. Staying at home was also more comfortable for everyone – there’s no need to bongga dress…

    A Cup of 100% Arabica Coffee for Only P20!!! #711CityBlends

    You know how when you watch homicide TV shows like Castle, Forever and NCIS, the main characters always bring each other coffee on the way to work?
