THE #HungryGhostMonth has arrived and is generally a time when business in the country slows down. It's a time to chill during this period, as the spirits of our dead ancestors roam the earth and visit us, sometimes creating mayhem. #SomethingLikeLife

“This is more personal,” says Chef Myke 'Tatung' Sarthou of his new restaurant at Gateway Mall 2. “The dishes here are from my grandmothers Juanita and Natividad." #SomethingLikeLife #food #dining #FilipinoCuisine #Philippines

LIKE many people, I was incredibly surprised when President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. announced in his State of the Nation Address (Sona) his aim to ease the burden of consumers, especially in regard to power costs. #SomethingLikeLife #Sona #aviation #travel #music

AT the very least, the president of #Ateneo should have resigned to assure the public of an impartial internal investigation into the drowning of the 2 ball players. It’s bad enough that the university mishandled their relationship with Rene’s mother (and Divine’s family). #SomethingLikeLife #relationships #communications #basketball #drowning

THEY say the rich are different from you and me.
But lately, a few of them have proven that they are as human and ordinary as most of us, in spite of their incredible wealth. #SomethingLikeLife

Whoever fed President Marcos Jr. that poor intel about Zaldy Co being arrested in the Czech Republic ought to be fired. It embarrassed the President, period. #Power #Politics #Poplocking #SomethingLikeLife

I’VE never been a fan of Western-genre movies nor even country music.
But on egging by friends whose reviews I trust, I became hooked on #Yellowstone and its other franchises. #SomethingLikeLife #TV #Prime #Westerns

Normally, I love #Summer. It means endless dips at the beach or a swimming pool. Cool linen tops and wearing shorts and open-toed sandals everywhere. It also spells juicy watermelons and sweet mangoes, delicious salads, s fruit shakes, and seafood. #SomethingLikeLife #energycrisis #Philippines

On New Year’s Eve, when the clock strikes at midnight, my siblings and I would jump up and down in our youth ostensibly so we would grow tall. Fat chance that did us any good. #latepost #SomethingLikeLife #traditions #Christmas #NewYear

Sen. Loren Legarda, rightly so, recently raised the possibility that the corruption in DPWH may also cover other projects it implements for government agencies like the DOH, DepEd, DA, and DOT. #SomethingLikeLife #FloodControlProjects #Corruption #Philippines

My fellow columnist-friends and I remember the shy and unassuming 37-year-old Zaldy Co who we met at the launch of his Misibis Bay Resort on Cagraray Island in Albay in August 2008. This was way before his name became synonymous with sus #FloodControlProjects #SomethingLikeLife #Corruption #Philippines

Even if parents have the best intentions at heart, and think they have reared their children well enough, the environment in which their young children live or try survive in do not always dictate the best of outcomes. #SomethingLikeLife #Adolescence #DearEvanHansen

Chefs Jayjay (Manila) and Fiz (Malaysia/SG) served up dishes that echoed many Southeast Asian flavors, which showed just how close our countries are, that we share similar ingredients and tastes. SyCip’s wife, the equally wonderful Chef Rhea Castro SyCip of Flourpot PH, took care of the #desserts using bananas and coconuts, which again ubiquitously grow in the region. #food #gastronomy #SomethingLikeLife #travel #tourism #Philippines #gastronomytourism

ONE of the perks as a reporter covering the #BangkoSentral was being surrounded by art pieces and antiques in its collection. So whether one is walking toward the ATMs to withdraw money, having lunch at the Executive Lounge, or waiting for the central bank governor for his press conference, we reporters have had the good fortune to look, inspect, and marvel at masterpieces by the country’s National Artists, painters, and other luminaries. #SomethingLikeLife #Philippines

#Boracay during the monsoon season is a whole different atmosphere. The sky is often downcast, painted in an endless one-note gray stretching toward the horizon. In the morning, during high tide, waves from the Sulu Sea crash mightily against concrete walls built to protect the restaurant where we have breakfast every morning. #SomethingLikeLife #travel #tourism #Philippines

I find that as I’ve gotten older, sleep has become more elusive to me. I used to be able to sleep as long as 12 hours with minimal interruption.... In fact, until I was about in my 40s, “breakfast” was not even in my vocabulary. #KnowMore #SomethingLikeLife #sleeping #sleepdisorders

AI can help a hotel “hypersonalize” guest experiences. “It gives us the data for us to be able to understand what type of guests we have, what type of experiences they actually want, and what type of packages we should put together or curate for them," says Agnes Pacis of SM Hotels and Conventions Corp. #SomethingLikeLife #hospitality #travel #tourism #Philippines

On the surface, the launch of e-taxis is a welcome development. With the massive traffic congestion in Metro Manila, especially along major highways like Edsa... it seems wise to have e-vehicles in our streets. #SomethingLikeLife #GreenGSM #travel #environment #Philippines

It’s not just the food industry that is weighed down by this Chichacorn Mentality. It has infected the country. Very small-minded thinking that leads to fast cash for a few, and no motivation to impacting and uplifting the entire economy. #SomethingLikeLife

Stunned. That’s exactly how I feel by the results of this past election day.
After seeing how survey after survey showed celebrities and not-so-savory politicians taking the lead in nationwide polls until a week before May 12, I was gearing up to be disappointed again, as what had happened in the Presidential elections in 2022. #SomethingLikeLife #MidTermElections #Philippines

Initially I thought, the airline should have let the passenger go and let the Immigration bureau deal with him. And in case PH #Immigration allows him to leave and board his flight, but is turned away at Bali, well, that would teach him a lesson. #SomethingLikeLife #passport #travel #tourism #Philippines

I ABSOLUTELY love #ramen So I was excited to receive an invitation to have lunch at the #menyakokoroph Kushi & Highball in the heart of San Juan City. Then I was told it served a brothless ramen. I said, “Whut?!” Sounds daft, I know, but apparently Menya Kokoro is the pioneer of authentic mazesoba in the country and this soup-less ramen, I was told, has been giant hit in Japan. #mazesoba #SomethingLikeLife #JapaneseCuisine #JapaneseFood #happytummy
