Gim and I, we love to cook. Well, really, the truth is that Gim loves to cook for me and I love to eat what he cooks. (Over the span of only 3 years, he has developed the man’s intuition for what the woman wants for dinner.) That’s really the...

August 28, 2005 Foods, Zamboanga by Flisha 9 Comments

Yup, it is! Well at least I think so. If you saw a flyer in your school’s campus declaring that Mister Donut was recruiting for staff and crew, wouldn’t it mean they were gonna build a Mister Donut outlet somewhere nearby? I have a good feeling about this. The reign...

May is really the month of flowers. Our orchids have begun to flower. And the always present euphorbia, hisbiscus, and santan are looking more beautiful than ever. I just wish I had a digital camera rather than just a camera phone… My camphone’s resolution is so degradingly low. But something’s...
