Yep, adulting happens. Fortunately, we can always end the day with “P.S. I love you, XOXO!”
Rolled ice cream, has been part of the news already for like five, six years now. And honestly, we still love them. If I remember it right, we called it “fried” ice cream in the first few months when it was first introduced to the market. Simply because of how it was made: pouring liquid ice cream base on a flat freezer plate then mix it up with flavors and whatnot. Flat it down to a thin layer, then scrape it up into small (or big, whatever you like!) rolls then serve it in a cute, fancy cup. Well, XOXO is not your ordinary rolled ice cream parlor.

Of course, there’s always the best goto, lugaw, arrozcaldo, and other Pinoy food perfect for the “Netflix and chill” weather. Well aside from those yummies, we also love ramens which are almost everywhere. You know what’s new? MAZESOBA! Mazesoba is literally translated as mixed noodle – soupless ramen (or dry ramen) made with soba or Japanese noodles. The soba is thicker than your…

SAVOY: your newest, sweet and trendy hotel in Manila
So you’re looking for a nice staycation venue with your family or probably friends, and you don’t have enough time and energy to go for long drives. Good thing there’s this new hotel that’s just not great for staycations, also a beautiful place to enjoy work. Working during a staycation? Eh. What makes Savoy Hotel Manila different from other hotels is it gives us more “good vibes” and colorful moods even when we are just in the lounge, trying to compose a very critical mail for the boss. I mean, you can always work in any hotel, yes, but Savoy offers a few more interesting facilities that would make you…
