What is Sari Sari?
sari sari means "variety" in Tagalog. In the Philippines, sari-saris are also mini-marts the size of an office cubicle, selling anything imaginable behind the counter, from Tylenol to chapstick to soda to toilet paper to canned tuna. They're charming things, with thatched roofs and cozy service, and can be found on every street corner.
And so it goes. The creation of two wayward journalists, this online magazine is just a variety of everything you could ever imagine and never need.
We hope you enjoy your visit. If not, at least you didn't pay to get in.
Who runs it?

Erlina Tulabut never owned an Easy-Bake oven. "Why?" she asked her mother, would the safety of their home be threatened by a 100-watt lightbulb. Well, because. So alas, she grew up with a rather skewed and cynical interpretation of the world and like many who possess similar sensibilities, she grew up to become a journalist. She is a magnet for the eccentric elderly, has an unflagging love for the Charles Bridge and its view of St. Vitus Cathedral, drives an irrational number of miles daily and will never part with her battered and scuffed pair of 14-hole Docs. If she could leave this planet with one piece of sage advice it would be this: Defrost. Sprinkle liberally with Lawry’s Seasoned Salt. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown.

Christine Castro eats far less bacon than she'd like, has a serious staring problem and obsesses over details. She notices the typo in the menu and the frame hanging crookedly on your wall. It bothers her, but she just smiles at you. Then when you leave the room, she fixes it. You can find out more about her neuroses at maganda.org.

Miguel Vasconcellos likes to take photos, collect comic books and has too many toys for a person his age. He knows you're all against him.

Rama Hughes sums himself up in haiku:
Rama was born here
on earth. He loves it a lot.
He loves drawing too.
