  • Win a Microtel discount voucher!

    During the Lakbay Norte tour last January, I somehow ended up with three extra Microtel 50% discount voucher. I already have one that came with my press kit, and I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to use all four cards before it expires in June 2010. I figured it would be better to raffle…

  • Big Binondo Food Wok Map winners

    I know I said I’ll announce the winners for the contest on February 1, but I was swamped trying to wade through a week’s worth of backlog and an overly enthusiastic group of people on Facebook, Yahoo Messenger and Skype who were all suffering withdrawals and getting uneasy about staying in one place for longer…

  • Travel Book Giveaway

    Monette of Flip’n Travel gave me an idea. I’ve been looking for ways to dispose of some of my books to make some space for my growing Japanese manga collection in my book case, but haven’t really figured out how. I can always go to Book Mooch, but it would take too long for some…
