  • Back from the Travel Mart

    I just got back from the Philippine Travel Mart at Megamall. I really like this year’s exhibits better than last year’s. I can’t remember much of last year’s actually, but the exhibitors this year really made and effort to showcase their province/service/property. Anyway, since my brain refuses to churn something coherent, instead of writing two…

  • Gold Coast in my mind

    I’ve been thinking about the Gold Coast for a couple of days now. It’s like I have this craving to be there or visit again, which is odd because I didn’t like the place. Well, it’s not like I hated it, but for me, it seemed that the Gold Coast lacked character. I guess this…

  • Prepare your wallet for the 18th Philippine Travel Mart

    Eric reports that the 18th Philippine Travel Mart is set for next weekend, September 7 – 9 at the Megatrade Hall of the SM Megamall. I know most of you have already gotten your paycheck, and if you’re like me, half of it is already gone XD Better save up the remaining half, because from…

  • Another food trip!

    The lovely people at the Filipinas Heritage Library are hosting a food & photography workshop through the provinces of Bulacan and Pampanga on September 29, 2007. Filipinos love to travel and to eat. Whenever we go on a trip, we consider not only the sites we can visit but also the local delicacies we can…

  • flickr is LOVE

    I’ve been a flickr user since October 2004. I actually didn’t like them that much then because it takes too long to load (it was mostly flash-based then), and it doesn’t work well with Opera. Of course, back then I’m on a crappy dial-up service, so loading the site is just torture. Eventually I warmed…

  • Banaue Rice Terraces may get scratched off the UNESCO Heritage list

    This is really sad. Due to the continuous deterioration of the rice terraces, not to mention the shanties that has sprung up on the terraces itself, the Ifugao Terraces (Banaue, Batad, etc.) just might be taken off the list. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) on Thursday said the scenic Ifugao Rice…

  • Taste Asia at SM Hypermarket

    August 23 marked two firsts: my first time to go to the Mall of Asia, and my first “major” blog meet. I’ve attended a couple of blog events before, but never with over 400 bloggers! Thank you, Clique Booth! It was really overwhelming; I found myself suddenly getting shy and anti-social, as I do in…

  • It’s a Wander-ful world

    When Ajay gave us tickets to the Wanders show at the PAGCOR Airport Casino, she just said “it’s a Chinese acrobat show.” The venue is almost 2 hours away from where we live, but Heinji and I still went, and damn, we’re glad we did! The Wanders is more than just an acrobat show: there…

  • Of blogs and cookies

    It’s been a busy week for me, which is a welcome change from the two weeks I spent moping around the house due to a pesky cold that wouldn’t go away, sleeping problems and typhoons. First to happen this week was the formal launch of the Blog and Soul Movement, and of the Mrs. Fields…
