april has a day job she doesn't want to describe because it occupies too much time already. her idea of progress is being able to drink wine at 3pm. april is tall mommy to the two black babies: forest and magic (aka the parade). she makes sure they don't kill each other in the dead of night.

blonski has a hard time not smiling. he plans to convert himself into a pescatarian, but having some occasional medium rare burgers won't hurt either. always yearning to have more hair strands, blonski massacred stems of aloe vera... only for it to affect his 'already thick' beard.

krissy: Artist at heart, banker by profession. Born in the year of the horse, I am free-spirited and love to roam: I have traveled to over 25 countries; I have lived in the Philippines, Switzerland, Singapore, and now, in France. I love to laugh, have good conversation, meet diverse and interesting people, excite my tastebuds (a.k.a eating), dance to club music while cleaning the apartment, and drift to dreamworld during a long ride. I raise people's eyebrows with my unconventional ideas. I scare humans with my directness and strong will. Kindred souls who know me well find me otherwise as sweet, thoughtful, loyal, and yes, funny, even at times quixotic, impractical, and fearless. I love fashion, history, vintage, and of course, my amusing French husband.
If all else fails, take it slow by reading a book, people-watch while sitting on the neighborhood café, or just stay home and have a treat of instant Pancit Canton bought for EUR 2 from the nearest Chinatown in Paris.
For this month, let me take you to my world, where you can find grace everywhere...but only if you open your eyes, heart, and mind to it.

karlo: I live in a small house with my partner and our two dogs, in the middle of the capital of the high-tech universe. I need to figure out how to furnish and decorate our living room and dining room, but I am paralyzed by the fear of doing everything wrong. I daydream a lot about travel, good food, becoming truly well-read, and learning new languages. Once in a rare while I actually get off the couch long enough to turn bits of my dreams into reality. But I'm actually quite content being a homebody. For someone who never did chores as a kid, it's actually quite strange how much cleaning our kitchen stove clears my mind, if only for a short while. I hope you can drop by my blog friedneurons.

cherie finds herself constantly making food, talking about food and around people who know food. her daily adventures go beyond her own kitchen in singapore, spanning from the nondescript holes-in-the-wall to sumptuous dining adventures. she believes in the art of slow food and scours places in hopes of bringing home unique spices, salts and oils. she is also the occasional artist and food writer who learned how to cook early in life by inheriting culinary family traditions from her motherland: the philippines. for over a decade, this blogger's career as an ESL instructor provided a multicultural atmosphere working with diplomats, celebrities, nuns, priests, politicians as well as high school and college students from all over the world. when she grows up, she hopes to cook for a living to celebrate her family's culinary legacy.
