Keep Your Home Spick and Span with 3M Scotch-Brite Cleaning Products

I admit, aside from food, one of the many things that I am crazy about is keeping things clean. I am a bit of an O.C. when it comes to cleanliness. And while I appreciate and always thankful for our kindly house helpers, I make it a point to be hands-on when it comes to maintaining the overall cleanliness of our home. I work mostly at home hence, and it will drive me crazy if my home office especially my studio aren't spick and span. 

And when it comes maintaining the cleanliness in our home, I believe in having the right tools. My current favorite, 3M Scotch-Brite Home Cleaning Products.

3M Scotch-Brite brand carries several cleaning materials perfect for household chores. If you are very particular when it comes to cleanliness and keeping your place neat and tidy, I am pretty sure you would want these items too just like I do. 

10 Reasons Why I Love Staying at Hotel Jen Manila

I recently stayed at Hotel Jen Manila and just like my previous stays, I ended up enjoying the entire staycation more than I thought I would. This got me thinking that in my experience, it is always the case when it comes to Hotel Jen Manila. I only expect to have a decent stay, and it always gives me memorable ones.

Take for example the first time I blogged about Hotel Jen Manila. I stayed there because I needed to get some work done and there was really no intention of blogging about it. Yet, I ended up doing so because the stay ended up like a leisurely staycation while getting my work done. 

This particular visit when I was hosted by the kindly people of Hotel Jen Manila, I really intend on blogging about. Taking into consideration all of my previous stays of which were all personal trips with family and friends and completely not related to blogging, I figured those good experiences merits to be taken into account. 

Hotel Jen Manila's Signature Dishes, Beverages, and Light Bites at Windows by the Bay

I recently had a staycation at Hotel Jen Manila and part of my itinerary was a dinner and cocktail at their Club Lounge's Windows by the Bay. I was to try out some of Hotel Jen's Signature Dishes and Beverages as well as some of their light bites that go perfectly well with cocktail drinks. There will be a separate blog post about my stay  in the coming days but I am telling you from the get-go, this particular dining experience at Window's by the Bay was one of the most enjoyable parts of my stay.

I have enjoyed Hotel Jen Manila's Windows by the Bay in the past and every visit yields a satisfying experience. From the service to the great food selections and cocktail drinks, everything was downright impressive.

Hence, I wasn't surprised at all that this recent visit was a memorable experience on its own. I was with my parents during this stay and even them had a great time. 

An Easy Creamy & Cheesy Pasta Recipe with Real California Cheese

We have been told since time immemorial to drink our glass of milk everyday and that a well-balanced diet with dairy products on it can help us achieve optimum health. These nuggets of health wisdom we were told as a child still hold true. Hence, we carry the responsibility to pass it on to the next generation. 

I grew up a healthy kid with a big appetite for anything dairy. To this day, it is a running joke in our family how I, as a kid, can finish at a breakneck speed a tall glass of milk coupled with bread generously slathered with butter and a little plate filled with chunks of cheese on the side which I love to eat with my bare hands. Good times. 

I have always been passionate about my dairy. These days, whenever my nephews are spending time with me, it is always a dairy fest in my humble abode. Their love for cheese, butter, milk, yogurt, and literally anything dairy, they got it from me, as I have been told. And it gives me comfort that since they love dairy, they are getting the nutrients they need to be healthy. 

The Grand Kitchen Buffet at The Grand Hyatt Hotel Manila

I was under the impression that we were in for a buffet feast of epic proportion – of massive number in terms of selections.  It was my first time at The Grand Kitchen of the newly opened The Grand Hyatt Hotel Manila and I had my game buffet face on. I expected innumerable food dishes readily prepared on an equally impressive numbers of buffet stations ready to be devoured by hungry diners - the usual basis for a buffet service to be considered as one of the best in Manila dining landscape.

That expectation wasn’t met. But let me tell you, I was light years away from being disappointed.

The Grand Kitchen may not overwhelm you with numbers, but when it comes to food quality, they are nothing short of excellent. Which makes them the current best buffet in Manila in my book.

Papa Kim's Korean Bakery and Coffee Antipolo: A Nice Cafe with a Beautiful View

Truth be told, I wasn't expecting much prior to trying out Papa Kim's Korean Bakery & Coffee along Sumulong Highway in Antipolo other than Korean pastry breads, coffee, and perhaps a chance to practice my Korean speaking skill. I have visited quite a handful of Korean cafes in Manila and dare I say that it's a love and hate relationship. I have few favorites, but there are some which just didn't sit well with me. 

So really, it's just my curiosity which made me decide to give this one a go. Little did I know, I will end up loving this Korean cafe more than I thought I would. 

And if I'm lucky enough to make you visit them and try their food offerings through this blog post, I am guessing you probably would too. There is just so many things to love about Papa Kim's Korean Bakery and Coffee, I tell you.
