Fat Daddy's Smoke House @ UP Town Center I'm self-confessed carnivore and I'm so delighted that I got a chance to try out a restaurant in the heart of Quezon City that offers not only meat products that I love but they also specialized in smokey meats.What am I talking about? Well, that is Fat Daddy's Smoke House who has two branches today located in Marikina and UP Town Center, Quezon City. Fat Daddy’s Smokehouse has perfected this meticulous process of cooking pork spare ribs from their years of being in the business. "Time and temperature are two things that we give much attention aside from the ingredients. All our pork spare ribs are cooked with the same, exact formula that's fail-proof – low and slow," Chef Jasper Versoza shares.  For 10 straight hours, a rack of pork ribs is smoked with the right amount of heat. This allows the release of flavor in each layer of the meat without compromising its tenderness. Picking a good rack o

The other Laurels

Image
Ms. Regina Victoria Laurel Yupangco De Ocampo The years of genealogical research have enabled the Laurel family to trace their ancestry to a scion of the Sultanate of Brunei in the 15th century before the coming of the Spaniards to the Philippines. The Sultan's eldest and heir apparent had refused the throne because he loved to explore, travel, and seeking adventures so he traveled before he settled in Batangas, Philippines. So many years and histories gone by, the Laurels became not just the highest political leaders in the Philippines but also established the name in business. Being a leader is in the blood for these powerful family in the Philippines. So much has been written with the descendants of President Jose P. Laurel who was the president of the Second Philippine Republic during the Japanese occupation. The same as other historical figures, we are curious about the descendants' whereabouts or about their works and sacrifices, something of great value. On

As all individuals are wired differently, there is no single formula that will determine the level of readiness of each child. Thankfully, Lillian Juadiong, PhD, a renowned family life and child development specialist, came up with the article entitled “The 10 Signs of A School-Ready Kid.” In her piece, Juadiong presents a handy guide that parents can use in assessing a child’s physical and mental progress. First, she says, check if the kid can solve problems creatively, is curious to discover, and shows well-coordinated body movements. She continues that a child must have eagerness to learn new words, have a good understanding of math concepts, must be able to talk and listen well, and possesses social skills to get along with others.
