I like Baguio. It may be congested, crowded and commercialized – in so many ways it’s like Metro Manila – but for one thing, it’s cold up there. Especially in the months of December to maybe early to mid-February, Baguio is a very good place to go if you want to escape the hot, humid and [...]

It’s an understatement to say that it’s challenging to keep a restaurant afloat, especially in times like these. Customers have so many other options, and frankly, tastes change faster than you can say Jack Robinson. One thing is in this month or this year, another the next month or the next year. During the couple [...]

I’m finally capping off the Palawan series, which I began just after me and my wife’s honeymoon last year, with a post about our Honda Bay (island hopping) tour. You get to visit only 2 islands, really, but the first stop is to a sort of outpost in the middle of the sea where you [...]

“As the Wheel turns, the Ages come and go, each leaving memories that fade to legend, then to myth, and are forgotten by the time that Age comes again. The Pattern of an Age is slightly different each time an Age comes, and each time it is subject to greater change.” – Wheel of Time, [...]

Let me say this at the beginning: I’m not a big fan of sandwiches. That being said though, I was pleasantly surprised when I got to sample a couple of ‘slabwiches’ from Chuck’s Deli at the Eat’s a Date event sponsored by OpenRice.com. I’ve eaten at couple of high-end sandwich / deli shops before, but [...]

One of the easiest dishes to experiment with is pasta, so it follows that my wife (who now blogs, by the way, HERE) is more inclined to try out new pasta dishes when she cooks at home, like this simple Chicken and Tomato Pasta, as opposed to more conventional and more complicated recipes. Anyway, I believe this [...]

I’ve been so swamped these past few months that I completely forgot to blog about Chatime. Good thing I accidentally stumbled across the images recently so I figured it would be worth sneaking in a few minutes to write about it. Anyway, the branch I visit the most often is the one in Pioneer Centre, [...]

When you do not get to go out and shoot often (like me) you need to have something to scratch the itch with – something that justifies bring out your equipment and shooting something worthwhile. And so, with my wife being a great cook, I set myself to try doing some food shoots at home [...]

I think it’s high time to go back to my Palawan series before posting some red carpet sightings from the 3rd PMPC Star Awards for Music. This time around, it’s the iconic Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR), which has been increasingly popular over the years, due to the exposure it’s getting as being part of [...]

‘Nung bata pa ako, hindi ako masyadong nakapag-enjoy ng mga laruan. Isa o dalawang beses lang kasi ako ibinibili ng laruan ng mga magulang ko. Minsan lang kapag may okasyon, halimbawa kung may honors ako sa eskwela o ‘di kaya kapag may napanalunang paligsahan. ‘Yung iba kong mga laruan, pamana naman ng mga pinsan kong [...]
