The Times They Are A-Changin'

We know, we know. It's been a quiet past few weeks - okay months - and you're probably wondering, "Where'd they go? Are they still alive?" We've been right here all along folks.

At our Pampanga food trip with Chef Jam Melchor (far right) of Villa Cafe.

But caught between blogging and the demands of real life, we've opted to keep mum for the time being until we could sort out our lives. And my how we've sorted them out. Here's what we've been up to lately:

Bianca just finished her Master's Degree in Multimedia Journalism in Columbia earlier this May, and after months of investigating crime scenes, interviewing guys who sell M&M's on the subway, and yes, exploring a monster makeup convention, she's finally ready to make good use of her newly minted degree.She'll be interning with Mashable starting June. For now however, she's vacationing in Austin, Texas, sampling tacos, slow-cooked beef brisket, barbecue, and giant doughnuts. We have never been more jealous.

Our resident baker Twinkle has also moved up the ladder of luxury, doing PR and marketing for no less than Bulgari and Hermes Philippines. Can you expect hundred thousand peso-handbags and purses next to homemade key lime pies during our shoots from now on? Probably not yet - although we've come close. Last month Twinkle (or should we say 'Angelina'?) teamed up with swimsuit designer Twinkle Ferraren for a Twinkle-Twinkle shoot. 

     Jon continues to wow crowds with his superb knowledge of pop culture during Trivia Night and Geek Fight. Lately though he's taken on a bigger role, helping run Burger Boys. By day he scours the metro for cheap foodie finds and buffets, and by night he, uh - well he's been caught up playing Diablo 3. Last April he returned to his home province of Pampanga with us in tow to do a Kapampangan food trip. 

  And as for Ryan? He's all over the place these days - shooting, writing, and attempting to be a grown adult. On some days he hikes off to Makati in a dress shirt and tie, other times he's in jeans and sneakers. He still dreams of visiting Europe, but in the meantime, has to deal with a dozen flavors of homemade ice cream in his freezer he has to rate. Check out his monthly restaurant review in Yummy magazine. And speaking of Yummy...

Oh yes. A whole day of eating this Saturday! See you there!
