At Day's End

The great thing about my family is that it's full of people who love food. It's not just my brothers who are always on a lookout for new places to dine at, but also my cousins. This time we were taken to Bellini's in Marikina for lunch.

My brothers are much more adventurous. If it were up to me, we'd just eat at the same place every time, but they seem to always have new dinner suggestions. This time my brother treated us to Osaka Ohsho in SM Megamall's Fashion Hall because he wanted to try their gyoza.

Korean food is one of the many cuisines that I'm not entirely fond of. My tastes are of the very plain persuasion, so the fancy flavours of Daehan Minguk do not interest me much. As such, we rarely, if ever, eat at Korean restaurants and I am very unfamiliar of what real Korean food tastes like. Is Bulgogi Brothers authentic Korean cuisine? I have no idea. But I like their meat and that's really all it takes to keep me coming back.

Sunday is always family day for us, and since this week's Sunday also happened to be Mother's Day, I was expected to contribute in the form of cupcakes.

Latin American cuisine is not something we get to try everyday. In fact, I've never tried it before, so when my brother recommended Brasas for dinner, I didn't vote against it.

If the name isn't obvious enough, Mu Noodle Bar is all about noodles. You can choose the noodle and broth, and it's served in a clay pot still boiling hot. They also have pasta and a few other things if you're not in the mood for soup.

Drugstore makeup isn't always "cheap" here in the Philippines. Even if they were, who am I to say no to free stuff? Sometimes there's expensive makeup among the shiny things my mom receives from her friends. However, I'm more than happy to take even the cheapest things off your hands. Thank you very much!

Villa Escudero is a coconut plantation and resort located a few hours away from Manila. Employees are dressed in traditional Filipino clothing from the Spanish era and guests are driven around in carabao-drawn carriages while musicians serenade them with Filipino folk songs. The resort proper has three small pools, a few sports facilities, and a river where guests can ride native bamboo rafts.

Art in Island is a 3D art museum in Cubao, Quezon City where you can touch the art and pose with it as much as you like. There is no time limit except their 9:30pm closing time and you can take as many pictures as you can manage. On our last visit, we spent around three hours, took almost 300 photos, and ended up absolutely exhausted. Maybe we're just not athletic people (I'm a hermit, after all), but my mom and her friends definitely had fun anyway, if their pictures are anything to go by.
