A few weeks ago, we bought some avocados from The Grocer PH. We used the fruits to make my Abuelita’s Avocado Banana Dessert. If you haven’t seen it and want to make it, I hyperlinked the blog post and video for you. Now I would like to share with you that the Grocer PH is very kind to send over some avocados for us as well as another batch of Ojet’s Lecheng Maja. (Gracias, Direk Ojet.) We honestly can’t get over Direk Ojet’s Lecheng Maja. Again, I’m not cursing you. It’s really called Lecheng Maja because it has THREE layers of delicious – cream cheese, maja blanca and leche flan! *If you want to try it, you can order through Facebook or contact them at 02 8372 4145 or 0956 4903727.

But there are other shows I also wanted to watch so I created a list which I’m slowly getting through. Finally, I was able to see… Sunod (2019) 1h 40min | Horror Director: Carlo Ledesma It centres on a woman who’s desperate to find the cure to her daughter’s illness. She takes a job at a call centre, only to be haunted by the ghost in it. When trailers for the 45th Metro Manila Film Festival was slowly being released, I saw some great ones and not so much. Then I noticed, there wasn’t a horror genre. MMFF always have at least one horror entry yearly. So, I thought maybe there really isn’t one this year. Suddenly, a trailer dropped on Facebook. I scrolled through the post the video played. It was indeed …
