Photo by Anton Lorenzo, used with permission If you didn’t, head on over to Anton Lorenzo’s flickr to see the A380 as it lands on NAIA. Or head on over to Yahoo and see the NAIA staff having their pictures taken with the A380 in the background XD Even more photos at the Pinoy Photography…

What’s in my bag?
Though my Pinky case is big and bulky, my external hard drive a bit heavy, I still feel they will be safer with me, than in my check-in luggage. To help me pass the time waiting for my flight, I have Bill Bryson to keep me company, as well as my MP3 player, camera, pens,…

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…

Of course, back then I’m on a crappy dial-up service, so loading the site is just torture. Eventually I warmed…

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…
