Have a Happy Meal

The late American journalist John Gunther once said, “All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast.”

I don’t know about ‘all’ happiness per se, but I do admit that a fantastic brunch can most times translate to a very good day. And good days and good times is the basis of our (this group of wannabe bloggers’) friendship. Having worked together in a magazine for two years, we have gotten to know each other well and have transitioned from colleagues to friends.

We love food (each in our own little ways). We come from different backgrounds and have diverse experiences. We all have definitive and distinct characters and creative voices. (Most are editors. One is a designer. One is a creative director. One is into nuni-nuni. One is a hipster-writer. One is a Bohemian flower child with a kid of her own. Some are panthers. Some are peacocks. Some are dolphins. I’m an Owl. Hopefully, I’ll get to explain all of these to you one of these days.) And we enjoy each other's company especially over a really good meal. That’s why we decided to meet up for Saturday brunch at least once a month to catch up on each other and try out different haunts in the metro.

So we thought, we have so much to talk about and so much to share, why not share it with more people? Which lead to this here online journal. Here, we will talk about topics that we would normally share with each other over our monthly gatherings (and more).

Basically, this is our brunch in blog form. We hope you like it as much we enjoy our monthly happy meals.
