Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu!
いい年になりますように~ So, another year has come and gone…and here we are, in 2009. I realized while we were at that street party in Makati that I will be 29 years old this year. What an ugly number. But no matter, at least my 28th was...
Remembering Bento #1 – the lunchbox that started it all
This one here is my very first attempt at a bento, made on Dec. 26th last year. 🙂 As always, it was not for me, harhar. This was for my boyfriend — I had a smaller version. Obviously, he eats more so he needs a lot...
Bento #29: The weekly boyfriend bento goes girly girly!
I have a backlog of my bento posts since last May, and I don’t have plans on posting about my recent ones until I’ve uploaded the old ones. But today, I am breaking that rule, just because I was so happy with how today’s bento...
My students are addicted to nattou — NOT
Last Saturday, I brought some nattou (or “natto”, if you will — however, I am quite anal about romaji so there) for my morning Japanese class. Save for Takumi-san who is part Japanese, everyone has not heard of nattou before. I had 3 small containers...
Japanese yakisoba = oishii!
I was never good at cooking…so food was probably one of my parents’ worries when I decided to move out of the ‘ancestral’ (haha!) home to my own small sardine can apartment. They knew how I liked to gorge on Lucky Me pancit canton, even when...
I made Hello Kitty purin!
Since I’ve transferred to the Morayta school, I’ve been purin-deprived…until last week, when I dropped by Hatchin after meeting Schatz at his office for lunch. Boxes of purin mixes were calling out to me, yay! So I grabbed a few, and bought an extra cup...

Lazy girl’s bento – 12 June 2008
I finally made my first bento for my new job! I can explain the unfortunate title of this post…I am still adjusting to my new work schedule (not so ungodly, but still a bit unusual for me) so I am finding it difficult to find time to...
Gobo maki bento (17 March 2008) – the overdue bento
This was my baon for March 17th. I can’t believe I freaking forgot to post. Almost a month, sheesh. Anyway, for this bento, the main star is gobo maki! Gobo maki is a fishcake roll (maki, as in ‘roll’ or ‘rolled) stuffed with gobo or...
My ‘kawaii cuisine’ adventures begin today!
I’ve started living alone in January. I’ve finally moved out of my family’s house and now fully independent. OK, I’m renting the flat, so I’m not exactly 100% independent. But still…yada yada. The nice thing about living alone is that I do everything for myself...
