I got to attend the launching of Inquirer Lifestyle's Best Desserts 2 by Vangie Baga-Reyes last Monday at the SM Aura Premier. This is a follow up to the first Best Desserts book which was a success.

Stacy's BGC, Daydream in Pastel Colors
On the corner of Rizal Drive and 28th street of the Bonifacio Global City is a cozy two-level nook which makes for a pretty hangout. Stepping inside Stacy's Home Cafe is like being transported to your childhood daydream in pastel colors --- of playing house and imagined secret gardens and tea parties like Alice had in her own wonderland.

Hello, Stranger! Revisiting Baguio After Two Decades
The last time I visited Baguio was during the Holy Week of 1994 together with my family. I remember the freezing temperature despite being a summer month, the swelling crowd as many hied off to the summer capital, and the sight and smell of pine tress upon entering the city.
I never got to set foot in Baguio again until twenty years later, thanks to my boss who brought us her staff up north for a weekend trip. Weeks later, our family trooped to Baguio for my mother's birthday celebration. Then last weekend, my Pink Family travel group and I went up north again for a weekend relaxation and another birthday celebration.

The Trail to the Taal Lake and Volcano
Fifteen years ago, my college friends and I were almost that close to seeing the Crater Lake up close when we had our lunch by the banks of the Taal Lake in Talisay, Batangas.
Fast forward to last week. Finally, I made a trek together with my Pink Family travel group to the Taal Lake and Volcano and the lake within the volcano.

Exploring Santa Ana in Manila
As a kid, I remember passing by Santa Ana en route to Mandaluyong, Makati or Taft Avenue, with the old gray church on an elevated portion dominating the place. Santa Ana is one of the older districts in Manila rich in history. It is a gem waiting to be rediscovered, with stories waiting to be heard by the new generation.
