11 More Days Til…
In about 11 days, I’ll be flying out right after Christmas to meet up with one of my favorite people in the entire world: The Roomie. Ludobites 6.0 The story of our friendship is typical university fodder. Girl meets girl. Girl rooms with girl. Girls do not want to strangle each other while living together....
What Is Your Silence Telling You?
Backblog from May 7, ’07 1:06 AM After watching Spiderman 3, I took the subway heading home. I got on a train, put my earphones on, and drowned out the world to the beat of Nouvelle Vague. Trying to be nondescript as I didn’t want to make eye contact with anyone, I had my hoodie...

Can’t Leave Home Without Sunblock
Before I flew out to Maldives, I had to go through a very intense packing session. Packing, for ToT, is a multi-day affair, capped off by my ‘Ate Tess’ refolding and reorganizing everything I dump atop my suitcase, to actually IN my suitcase. Since this is a dive trip, there are a lot of things...
Let’s Improve the ‘Worst Airport In The World’… Pro Bono
I am amazed that our talented designers and architect are willing to earn nothing for the benefit of our country and our tourists.Will our government do the same? Will they forego money in their pockets to actually make our lives easier, our international image better, and our tourism bigger? “A pro-bono proposal from Budji Layug,...

Red Cross Ball + Michael Cinco Fashion Show
Haute Couture I miss dressing up to the nines. So when schedule and invitations permit, I make the effort to get glammed up. It’s even better if you do it for a cause which is what last night’s Red Cross Ball was all about. My friend, life mentor and fellow Assumptionista Tessa Prieto-Valdes co-chairs the...
ToT Now Published on unBLOGGED:
Normally, I’ve been a flaker whenever invited to blogger events and activities. I’d love to attend and support our local blogsphere scene but sometimes my schedule is really working against me. I have been working with Nuffnang on collaboration after collaboration and it never seemed to pan out. Finally, something I can contribute! Trip or...
My JuJu Cleanse Experience
Many of you who follow me know that my appetite is an ever-growing monster. After all the pre-Christmas holiday eating, and my weekly adulation for Mercato Centrale as a merchant and a diner, I was feeling extremely BLAH. Sluggish, bloated and overall feeling like a stuffed turkey,.I knew and felt tht I needed an overhaul...
Back to 04.18.07: Yoga Nutty
I wanted to resuscitate this old blog post because I’m going back to my Yoga routine. Pray I keep at it, especially with all this Trip or Treating. Of the numerous blogs I’ve written, there seems to not be one about my true passion. it isn’t a recent one; it’s been a part of my...
Intercontinental QT with Qatar
Ok fine, I’ve been very bad. My 3 week break has turned into an almost 2 month hiatus. I can’t help it! Getting back into the daily groove and grind leaves me a bit discombobulated, and the more posts I have pending, the more agitation comes my way. The upside of having a truckload of...
Sublime Sea Scape
My Roomie sent me this link. I don’t think she understands the magnitude of all those amazing underwater creatures as well as its emotional link to all divers. It’s like Palau or Tubbataha reef, but all in one big tank! Whale Sharks, Manta Rays, Sharks, and all the creatures that drive us to save up for dive...
Happy Pills, Roomie Reunion and A Need for Tagline Suggestions (Updated)
Ok. Let me tell you about my roommate. Chants was my roommate/classmate back in our college days in Malibu. We would have the same classes, and I kinda thought she was cool because we had the same vibe. Studious (really), same build/dress choices, well-traveled and exposed, a tad snooty, and knows how to gulp down...
Walking Carlos Celdran’s Way
This week was ToT Tourguide Week. After the Holy week madness and much needed relaxation, it was back to more adventures in Manila to educate my US-born cousins of their own heritage aka Being “Pinoy”. If you have relatives who live in the states and are first-gen Fil-American cousins, you know that self-identity is a major...
Bentosa’s Bliss At Sonya’s Garden
Easter weekend has come and gone. I’ve had a pretty active few days to celebrate the Bunny Day, as well as to play host to my aunt Joy and 2 teen cousins who are here for our grandmother’s 85th birthday. The Itinerary looked like this: 03.25-28 – China 03.31-04.03 – Baguio 04.04 – Anilao (to...
Easter Treats from my Tooth Fairy AND my Dentist
On the same day as my arrival from my Palau Dive Trip, my parents arrived from a short US trip. They met up with my aunt, aka ToT’s Tooth Fairy, responsible for my out of this world goodie stash, as well as my existing and pending root canals Of course, she never forgets to send me something even...
Back to 03.28.07
This is the third installment from my overly contemplative stage. Part one and Part two were pretty deep, so if you’re not the type who likes being confused and confronted with some philosophical shtuff then please, keep reading my other cute food blogs. This was during my self-searching days aka 2007. Some friends have been fans of my writing...
ToT Published on Sense & Style Mag

Red Cross Gala Dinner feat. Dennis Lustico
Lately I’ve had this very unproductive habit of buying things before I find the need for it. It’s my fault, ever since coming up with the wise thought that there is no need until you know something exists, I’ve found myself needing everything I happen to chance upon…. especially on the internet. ToT with Ish...
