    El Mundo Cafe: a new place for your “me time”

    Imagine your life as a big, colorful mosaic and “me time” is the dazzling little gem that brings it all together. It’s that little window when you hot pause from life’s demands, you dive into your favorite book (or just some random read), binge that series guilt-free, or simply savor a quit cup of coffee (or in my case, with a plate or two of yummy meals). And sometimes, the literal place you go matters. Again, in my case, I like staying in a hotel. This time, I tried the U Hotel in Makati and I really enjoyed their El Mundo Cafe. Since I started vlogging, I take more videos…

    cafe hopping: 6 cafes within metro manila for when you need to work remotely

    This has been one of the many projects I really wanted to start before the pandemic, but unfortunately, cafe hopping doesn’t really make sense when you’re all in a lockdown so… The community quarantine has been a big challenge to businesses and most of them permanently closed eventually because profit went down and they couldn’t support the business anymore. While some took the risk on going straight online, content creators grew their business on the other hand, and thankfully most online businesses grew as well. Except me, of course. I can give more reasons why I went MIA, but I had a nice time reflecting and I learned there’s just…

    Easy, Tiger: I know you’ll love this, too.

    I like neutrals. And I also loooove vibrant colors, especially the colors blue, green, teal, orange, yellow, and some rusty browns. (Is it not obvious?) Basically the ones you will see in below photos. That cute front actually what caught my eye first – thanks to my glasses (not) sponsored by Sunnies Specs – then I came over and saw the picture of a pad thai and I thought I need to try you, Easy, Tiger. New here? Read this! Hey there! My name’s May and you can view more about me here.  I travel a lot for both work and leisure. Thanks to being an auditor and a content creator…

    #LockdownDiaries: food orders and recipes wrap-up | 2

    My previous wrap-up post got so many views so it’s just safe to assume my readers are interested on where I get the food I post on social media. So yey! Here’s my second wrap up of our food during quarantine.  But before we move on (yep, had to say this again), please note that this article and other related posts linked on this page were not paid in any way nor sponsored by the brands I am mentioning. And, guys, if you’re able, please do support your friends and neighbors and other small businesses by buying their products, or just sharing their links to others who might be interested.…

    #LockdownDiaries: food orders and recipes wrap-up

    I get a lot of queries how much do I sell the food I was posting during quarantine and if I do deliveries. Sorry to disappoint, guys, but I’m not selling. I’m just another food blogger and a hungry customer. The least I can do is share where I got them from. Some of those were just cooked by myself, but again, not selling. Later on this page, I will also share the links to my recipes and some external ones I found in the internet. Before we move on, please note that this article and other related posts linked on this page were not paid in any way nor…
