Today was a very stressful day. Meeting deadlines, running around to coordinate with various departments, working together with the Editorial team, checking proofs and watching out for grammar and spelling errors... all these in preparation for the 10th Anniversary Issue of Entrepreneur Philippines . We're all working very hard on this and we pray that our readers will love it! (So make sure to watch out, check out the surprise that we've prepared and grab a copy as it will surely be a Collector's edition!) I went home with a nasty throbbing headache and all I really want to do is to curl up in bed with my fluffy pink blanket. But that didn't happen...Thank God for giving me a sweet husband who surprised me with a mouthwatering chocolate cake that he bought after receiving a text message from me early today saying... "Hunnie, I'm having a stressful day...*sniffle* :(" He knows me too well..truly food is the best way to brighten up my day. He ...

I gave her a frightened look and told her that I am not yet done with my Christmas shopping and this has been stressing me out for two weekends already. She, on the other hand, was still thinking of her Noche Buena menu.

For those who are always on the go and do not have the luxury of time to shop for gifts, why not dro...

It has been said that coffee cannot be enjoyed alone . While this could mean two things. First, coffee is best drank over a meaningful conversation with a friend. I guess this can be seen with the rapid growth of coffee shops all around the globe as well as the popularity of the word coffee chat . Secondly, the perfect coffee experience involves enjoying your cup of java together with something else . This something else could be a pastry that complements the flavor of your coffee or for the adventurous souls, it could also be a unique coffee concoction that perfectly suits your taste. Tonight, Paul and I, together with a handful of bloggers were given the chance to taste a unique blend of coffee and liquor in a cake. The new Coffee Walnut Bavarian (Php. 725) is the first ever creation in Red Ribbon's line of Premium Selections. I loved how my fork smoothly sink into the moist chiffon that alternately layers with the coffee mixed with Kahlua cream. It was so dramatic and suave th...
