When it comes to watching a K-pop concert, it doesn’t pay to watch with preconceived notions.
IT’S never too late to create new beginnings. And if you’re a feng shui enthusiast, or you’re just looking for something new to jump-start your life, the new year in the Lunar Calendar is one of the best times to do it.
There’s something about the holidays that brings out the Martha Stewart in most of us.
WHEN you’re a home-improvement buff, you probably wax poetic over things like
LIKE many starstruck Filipinos, I’ve often wondered how celebrities spend Christmas. I can imagine some of them flying off to exotic foreign places to get away from fans and the paparazzi (or at least hie-ing off to their favorite vay-cay spots for a bit of peace and quiet), or partying the night away with a few hundreds of their celebrity friends (think: Kendall and Kylie schmoozing with Gigi, Bella and the rest of the Kardashian posse).
Whenever October comes around, I start thinking of Christmas. Blame it on the hype (Christmas seems to start earlier with each passing year, and I’m sure if malls had their way they’d be churning out carols as early as July); blame it on the nippy weather (which starts whenever the “brrr” or “ber” months come around); or blame it on the numerous gift lists I start creating to make my budget accommodate my ever-growing family members. Whatever it is that triggers it, October makes me think of Christmas.
DON’T you ever have one of those weekends when all you want to do is veg out on the couch and watch a whole bunch of shows all day long?
EVER wonder where taipans have their weekend brunch? Hang out at Crystal Jade Dining In restaurant and maybe you’ll find some answers.
WHEN it rains, it pours. And if the recent slew of K-Pop groups moseying down to our shores is any indication, we are in for a deluge.
IF you suddenly find yourself hankering for a thick, juicy slab of Angus beef, we suggest you meander down to B Hotel in Quezon City this weekend for some really mouthwatering treats. Be warned though: at Johnny’s Steak and Grill, all they serve is steak.

THE restaurant is named after a clay pot, the kind your grandmothers must have used to combine flavors and sauces to come up with some of your favorite dishes. Think palayok, but Spanish.
IF you happened to be in the Mall of Asia area last Saturday afternoon and you felt the Earth move (literally), let me first say there was no cause for alarm. That wasn’t an intensity 3 earthquake you experienced. It was the collective vibration of about 7,000 or so Armys shaking in anticipation of their K-pop idols going onstage that night.
IF you’re cruising around the Libis area this weekend and suddenly find yourself hankering for not-so-traditional Korean food, check out Soban K-Town Grill.
IF you’re in the beauty industry, there are some exciting times coming up for you.
It is said that in Osaka people ruin themselves by eating. This means they overspend on food, which admittedly is among the best on the planet, and eat to their hearts’ content. In fact, no trip to Osaka is complete without a gastronomical crawl around the city.
There are some things in life one just has to accept. In my case, I recognized early on that I would never be a movie star or a supermodel. Or a professional tennis player, for that matter. But somehow, I could never wrap my head around the thought of growing old. That’s understandable, right? I mean, you don’t spend a lot of time contemplating in your 20s whether you’ll go bald or toothless in your old age, do you?

HOW soon can you teach children to save the Earth?
Looking for a special place to bring mom to this weekend? Why not take her where she can have a “taste of home”?
ANYBODY who knows me knows how gung ho I am about do-it-yourself arts and crafts. Why? Because anything that allows me to create with my hands and does not require too much math or analytical thinking is my bliss.
NOT all kids are created equal, and not all kids are guaranteed to fit into a regular summer program. If your child dreams of creating frothy cappuccinos instead of fluffy soufflés, why put him in cooking class? Why not enroll him in a barista academy instead (yes, these things do exist)?
WHEN I was a child (many, many, many years ago), summer vacations had a very different meaning for kids. For me it meant spending time with my cousins in the province, trying to stay out of trouble with my aunts and grandparents, and basically doing nothing but play, read or watch TV.
