It’s March again… and while mostly everyone is thinking about the summer break, teachers like myself are busy collating and finishing up class records and certificates for our students.

Bono Artisanal Gelato: All Natural Gelato in Makati
by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 1st, 2013
I think I was in high school when people started going gaga over gelato! A variety of gelato shops started opening here and there. Everyone loved it, except me. I still preferred ice cream over gelato, until I tried Bono. There are only 2 gelato shops I loved, one is Café Publico in Greenhills and the other, Bono in SM Makati. I first discovered Bono while I was on my way to Glorietta from the MRT. This corner shop’s light and color...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 13th, 2013
After a day's hard work or a weekend's long run, wouldn't it be nice to just sit back relax and have someone massage those tight muscles for you? Mmm.... I can just imagine it now. Doesn't that feel good? Makes me want to go visit the spa again all of a sudden! Don't you? - Last week, just right after running a short 10km at the Condura Skyway Marathon, I got to visit the newly opened Mont Albo Spa in Makati.

Ma Maison: A Fusion of Western and Japanese Food
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 20th, 2013
I love to eat, (that’s probably why I eventually loved running) and two of my favorite styles are Japanese and Western. Korean and Vietnamese are slowly making my top list too. Anyway, I love Japanese for their sushi and simply how fresh everything seems. The meat is so tender and the sauces are just right. On the other hand, I love American food for its exaggeration of flavors! I love salty food, I love burgers and I definitely love steak! So ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (2 )

Red Crab’s New Guilt-Free Menu with Suchero
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 3rd, 2013
Mmm…. sweet sweet food. Don’t you just love eating sweet sugary food? Honestly, a huge percentage of our food actually contains sugar, many of which we might not even have realized. I’m sure all of you know that sugar IS NOT healthy, so just like any other food, a little bit is okay, but too much can be hazardous. Did you know that cane sugar actually FEEDS cancer cells? and sweeteners are like plastic in the body, because th...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

ABS-CBN “Gift-Together” Project: Bringing Families Closer this Christmas
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 20th, 2012
Christmas is one of the best times of the year. It's actually my personal favorite. I don't know how to explain it, or what kind of atoms and molecules are in the air as the "ber" months approach, but Christmas makes us feel and do weird things. It makes us feel warm and cuddly, it makes us feel generous and happy, most of all, it makes us feel and remember the people we love. Christmas is a time to love. When I think of Christmas, I...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )
