“Hi Cat, you really do take good and neat instagram pictures. I wonder how you keep them clear, ‘cause I notice how others have that grain-ish effect on theirs, and I wish to capture clear pictures w...
Autumn in Australia. (Snapped over the weekend at Bowral, NSW - iPhone4)
Lunches and dinners were always considered family time when I lived in the Philippines. Oftentimes, my parents, brother, and I would stay till way after the plates were cleared to just laugh and catc...
Happy Birthday, @allorange! Here’s to another year of adventures, laughs, and awesome photos. I feel beyond blessed we’re on this ride together. (Taken with instagram)
I’ve been meaning to read this book for years and I’m honestly regretting waiting so long to do so. It was fantastic. I honestly haven’t read a novel...
One of my resolutions this year was to make healthier lifestyle choices. It wasn’t that I lived a hedonistic life of late night parties, smoking, and drugs before making this conscious decision, I ju...

It’s 6am here in Sydney. The sun has yet to peep its head out to start the morning and the world around me is slowly stretching to face the day. With many grateful thoughts dancing in my head, my bod...
If interested, grab a copy of Rogue Magazine March to see my article on Sydney and falling in love. :) (Available on Zinio and in bookstores for a limited time)
I promised myself that in 2012 I would devote more of my time to picking up a good book or in the case of my always hungry Kindle, downloading it. It’s not that I ever fully stopped reading (which is...
“A year today. A higher power was looking out for me when it gave me this one.” I posted these simple sentences on Facebook two days ago and am completely overwhelmed by the responses we’ve received...
We’re back in Sydney’s loving embrace. And though we haven’t been blessed with the best of summers, we try to take advantage of sunny days as often as we can. These first few months of 2012 have pro...
Happy New Year from Negros. I apologise for not writing often these last few weeks, but being on vacation has made my mind so chill that I couldn’t seem to put any thoughts of value together. We’ve b...
Merry Christmas, everyone! May this season fill your hearts and tummies to maximum capacity. :) PS: Hugging your loved ones tight will be one of the best gifts you can give them.

Yesterday’s sunrise brought to you from Uluru.
While in Bondi yesterday, I snapped these two adorable old women chatting away while waiting for a shower to pass. They were enjoying their conversation so much, I don’t think they noticed the rain h...
Sculpture by the Sea 2011
It’s easy to have a love/ hate relationship with LA. I mean, what’s not to adore about its weather, fusion food (sushi nachos, anyone?), and Venice Beach weirdos? But it gets a little harder to want ...
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to read Harper Lee’s magnum opus. This book was so heartwarmingly good that I tried to squeeze in as much reading time as possible on the train and at ...
A bit flattered we were chosen to be part of Metro Weddings’ best weddings of 2011. If you’d like to read up on other really lovely weddings that made the list, the issue is available on stands now.
I know that a good number of my readers are women. But to the handful of men who stop by my site, here’s a tip: it’s small messages like this one that’ll make your partner feel incredibly blessed. I ...
I finished this book in three days. It’s that good. What makes this tale so mind-blowing is that it’s true. Names weren’t changed, hundreds of interviews were conducted, and through it all is ...
We’ve been in LA for the past few days gearing up for The Tunnel’s US premier at Screamfest. It’s been a pretty amazing ride so far. From randomly meeting Hollywood royalty (a story best saved to be...
I’ll be honest. I knew close to nothing about Czech cuisine till I visited Prague last month and I have a funny feeling many of you are on a similar page. So I decided to snap and review some of my m...
Grabbed this book while waiting for our flight back from Turkey. And after reading the blurb at the back, I couldn’t resist taking it home with me. Magic realism + family + women is a combinat...
I fell in love with this song when I first heard it in the Australian produced film Accidents Happen. Was happy to be reunited with it in Crazy Stupid Love. I hope it gives this Aussie band the atten...
Our friend Amanda snapped this gorgeous sunset during our wedding weekend last February. We’d just finished rehearsals and decided to sit by the water with a mojito in hand to watch the bats fly to t...
