On the First Half of January - Badger Beat #0012 - World Spins Madly On - The Weepies

The first half of January is a mix of emotions. There were a lot of highs, and a ton of lows as well. But overall, it was manageable. I guess this is the taste of what 2014 has to offer.

Today, we feature a little Maginhawa street classic, Gayuma ni Maria, and their sinfully good desserts. Gayuma ni Maria is pretty interesting because of the theme of the place, which is essentially love and sexuality. Particularly,...
