MyParty. Finds. A Home.

This original tag is from Maver. Guess how she came up with this idea? While eating, of course! Hehe. Maver says: In this day and age, a measly P20.00 can be very limiting to the discriminating palate. After all, what can it get you? A pack of smokes? A glass and a half of soda? [...]

Nothing is much redder or yummier than a pair of juicy red pinoy hotdogs. Preferably on a stick. With a dollop of banana ketchup! Yum. Tender juicy pseudo-Purefoods Hotdogs. Take it from a pinoy – a hotdog is not a hotdog unless its red. The redder the better? Gosh, I’m suddenly missing Smokey’s. ~~~ If [...]

Haze tagged me with this meme a long time ago. I actually found this tag cute and really really wanted to do it asap. Unfortunately, life got in the way… So anyway, Haze asked me to list down my top ten 90′s songs. Only ten? Whew, would I even remember what music I liked a [...]

Have you read this yet? I’m going to get a copy of it on my next trip to the bookstore. Its supposed to be a “fun, frothy, memoir about travel, fashion, family, true love, unlikely friendships, and entrepreneurial spirit” told from the vantage point of Michael Tonello, a “stylish and savvy outsider who successfully vaulted [...]

Magda-drive ako hanggang Baguio Magda-drive ako hanggang Bicol Magda-drive ako hanggang Batangas Tapos magsu-swimming do’n sa beach ~~~ Another morning another place The only day off is far away But every city has seen me in the end And brings me to you again ~~~ Ang aming pamilyang ipinanganak para magliwaliw DITO sa aking isa [...]

My name is Meeya and I am a junkie. A junkie for pinoy junkfood, that is. A trip to the Asian/Filipino store isn’t complete without my deadly stash of extra sodium, haha! I can’t live without my Clover Chips! And my Chippy. And my Vcut. And those darn addicting and darn smelly Cracklings. Absent these, [...]

The thing about pinoy birthdays is: there’s always a buffet – a fiesta. There’s none of that boring, western-type, sit-down, six-course dinner. Our parties are intended as a free-for-all for our friends, family, or even the entire barangay! And, of course, there’s the ubiquitous pancit or noodles (for long life), the bbq or hotdog on [...]

Better late than never! Last week and the weekend before that were pretty hectic for me so I wasn’t able to post my LaPiS entry last week. Habol po. Ever since we moved to the US, I have craved for Mami like no other. Especially during the winter months when a hot serving of soup [...]

Kahit na ilang tinik ay kaya kong tapakan Kung ‘yan and paraan upang landas mo’y masundan Kahit ilang ulit ako’y iyong saktan Hindi kita maaring iwanan ~~~ What a journey it has been And the end is not in sight But the stars are out tonight and they’re bound to guide my way ~~~ Kilalanin [...]

I was also with my girlfriends the first time I dined at Maggiano’s Little Italy. That was about two years ago in Charlotte, after a special night out with the girls. That time, we ate ala-Family Dinner style (good for four people or more) where our whole group (all ten of us, haha!) can choose [...]
