Rogue

By Heart2Heart | Hot Off the Press | No Comments

Thanks to my brother Mike who lent me the maiden issue ( July ) of Rogue magazine. From that day on, I have been seeing the magazine all over and friends talking about it over conversations. It is a Men’s lifestyle magazine but my girl friends are reading it as well.

Available at Mag Net, Fully Booked and Bufini. Soon to be available nationwide but as Mikko says, “why go through the trouble of buying it at the stands? Subscribe and get a deep discount!” And the unique feature of this publication is that it is like food or pizza, when you are craving for it, why not have it delivered right at your doorstep?

Thanks to Mikko and Miguel from Rogue magazine! Heart2Heart is giving away 20 FREE copies DELIVERED TO YOUR DOORSTEP of the newly released September issue of Rogue to the first 20 MEN that comment on the blog or email at rica@jaricmarketing.com.

Cuptails and Dreams

By Heart2Heart | Yummy! | One Comment

Thanks to my cousin, Wendy Jalbuena for sending me a box of these delicious cupcakes…..she calls them “spiked cupcakes”. And as I always do with cupcakes, I eat only the icing on top. I got so excited I tried each and every flavor and loved it! The presentation is so nice…they would make perfect desserts or giveaways in a party.

************************************************************************************************************

Have your drink and eat it too! Cuptails & Dreams offers cocktail-inspired cupcakes that can bring life to any party. Just like any cocktail, you can take your personal favorite and still enjoy being with your friends. Flavors like Cosmopolitan, Margarita, Screaming O, BJ, Pina Colada, Mojito, Tequila Sunrise, and Lemon Drop are just some of the kicks that you can enjoy in these colorful and flavorful cupcakes. But hey, don’t think you can get drunk by eating these mini garnished cakes. The hint of liquor will give you the taste of your favorite cocktails, and still keep you sober all night long. Kid-friendly cupcakes are also available for those who just want to satisfy their sweet cravings. Tuxedo (vanilla cupcake with chocolate buttercream frosting), Pink Lemonade (lemon cupcake with pink lemon buttercream frosting), Napolitana (vanilla cupcake with chocolate hazelnut buttercream frosting), and The Original Sin (chocolate cupcake with chocolate buttercream frosting) are just some of the tempting flavors you can enjoy.

So for parties, weddings, and other gatherings with your friends, bring in some life and fun with Cuptails & Dreams.

“I chose to bake cupcakes because they can satisfy every craving each individual or personality would have. Each adult would have her personal choice of dessert, yet at the same time, enjoy this indulgence with her friends and peers. Not only are they pretty, but they always bring a smile to someone’s face as soon as a box of cupcakes is opened.”

Neem Tree

By Heart2Heart | Household Tips | No Comments

Sharing a household tip from my cousin, Ana.

Use Neem tree leaves to avoid those insects in your stored rice. Just put it inside the rice container. It will not work if there are insects already in the rice. You have to put the leaves as soon as you remove it from the plastic bag and transfer to the container. Or if your container already has insects, you need to clean the rice and remove the insects and then put back into the container and add the leaves. 1 stem is good for around 25 kilos of rice.

It does not however work for japanese or calrose rice as it gives it a smell. So use it only for jasmine or local rice.

Neem trees are quite common in our country, so chances are you can find them easily.

Sylvia’s Book

By Heart2Heart | Hot Off the Press | No Comments

I borrowed this book from my sister, Tina, since I heard and read about it. What a GREAT CONCEPT!!

A group of friends “compiled all their tried-and-tested, highly recommended resources-people and places we’ve grown to love, after years of living here in the Philippines.Silvia’s Book covers what you need to know during your first few years in this country. We’ve included all sorts of information:from where you can out of town for leisure, hire musicians for a party, and even find negative blood should you need it.”

It is supposedly for expats but I might get a copy for myself because it contains great information. It would make a nice gift or pasalubong to friends abroad….even to friends visiting the Philippines. Available at Rustan’s Supermarket Rockwell, Shangrila, San Antonio Expresslane, Makati , Greenbelt Expresslane and Alabang Expresslane. Look for it at the customer service counter. Price: P 1,250.00. All proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Holy Family Home Foundation.

Malcolm’s Place

By Heart2Heart | Foodie | No Comments

Thanks to Vina and Lindy for introducing Malcolm’s. The dish that i would highly recommend is the Wagyu beef burger. I asked for the Blue Cheese butter which usually comes with the Wagyu steak orders since I like blue cheese burgers. It was really good. Try it!
