Food is a metaphor of life or work…

Among all the Sushis, I love Philadelphia roll the most; consisting of raw or smoked salmon, cream cheese, onion, cucumber or avocado. The general ingredient across all kinds of sushi is vinegared sushi rice which variety arises from fillings, toppings, condiments, and preparation.

Life’s full of sour moments; but it doesn’t mean it has to turn us into acidic bitter beings. Often, the unpleasant circumstances make us open our minds to be more receptive of others. When we see their misfortunes, we are prompted to think of our blessings. Then we blend with them; and with the friendship, we create a harmonious flavor….very much like a sushi. We roll in life together!


Ramen is definitely an oriental noodle dish which is indisputably Japanese. But history accounts that it is of Chinese origin consisting of Chinese-style wheat noodles served in a meat- or sporadically fish-based broth, often flavored with soy sauce or miso, and uses toppings such as chāshū or sliced pork , nori or dried seaweed, kamaboko or white fish rolls molded into a variety of shapes, green onions, and intermittently corn.

One bowl is a harmonious blend of scrumptiously comforting soup. It is very much like a company where the people come from different origins and yet because of their accord they create a business with a unified goal: to be the best in their industry.

Don't we all like a workplace that's as fulfilling as a Ramen could be....?



A balut is so much like the Juan most-often misunderstood person in society. He is viewed as someone unlikable and a misfit anywhere. But then, it takes a great Pedro to get to know the goodness inside Juan; Pedro who is undaunted by prejudices. Juan’s best may be drawn out when it’s seasoned with Pedro’s friendship.
Others can never savor the delectable balut unless they try to crack the shell open and slurp the broth; it is an introduction for the tastier treat tucked inside which is the fertilized duck embryo that is boiled and eaten in the shell. Like the misfit and his friend, the best flavor comes out when it’s seasoned with salt and/or a chili, garlic and vinegar.




Latte art is an interesting subject in itself wherein common pictures created are love hearts and ferns. 
It is a coffee-based drink made primarily from espresso and predominantly steamed milk.
This brew is like a love partner that perks you up when you’re in a slack, or slows you down when you’re overwhelmed with all the issues around you. As long as you got the right blend, you go well together.
