Anonymous asked you: Hey can you suggest any good local (or not) blogs out there? :D

Listing good local blogs— I will take that challenge! So here goes.

Amazing photography— mbacani (she’s now located in the US, but I’m counting her as local ‘cause she did come from here :p Great, great travel photos), planetickets (same situation, if I’m not mistaken. Also, killer taste in books, music, and fashion), thecoffeejunkie (this girl too, except she’s in the UK), josephpascual, ffeathered, thresca, rosarioko.
Inspiring art— choleil, valeriechua, artofkatrinateh.

I *may* have forgotten some.
But let me also throw in carafunk— I’m not biased, I promise. But my best friend writes beautifully, has the make of a fairy, and creates the best baked goodies.

Anonymous asked you: hi ate isobel! where do you usually shop?

I’ve actually just been shopping at the ukays at Cubao recently haha. 

Anonymous asked you: HI =) Ive been backreading your blog (which is AWESOME btw!) and saw you love nutella like me! Do you have other suggestions of ways to eat it besides with bread?

Thanks :) Weell some of my favorite things to eat it with are salted pretzel chips; just dip ‘em in and the chocolatey-hazelnutty saltiness is just yum.
Also, melt it— combine Nutella, a bit of milk and butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and just drizzle the mixture over just about anything.
