I have been asked by my guy friends lately, “where should I take a date?” There are many options in this city, but I want to focus on one of them – Degustation Wine & Tasting Bar. I was not only blown away by the food, small bites indicative of the restaurant name, but also…

Upgrade: New Camera?
Wait, that’s not food. What is going on? Â I’ve been thinking about getting a new camera and the one I am looking at is the Canon Rebel T2i. I’m not a huge camera geek, as many of you might assume, so luckily I have friends that are. It’s an upgrade on the Canon Rebel T1i…
