• Happy Australia Day!

    January 26th marks the foundation of Australia by Captain Arthur Phillip of the British Navy. It’s a time “where the people of Australia come together to celebrate what’s great about Australia and being Australian.” (Source: Australia Day)   To celebrate, we headed southwest out to Geelong, 73 kilometers from Melbourne. Everybody seemed to have the…

  • Cheap and free in Melbourne

    Coming from Manila, where almost everything is cheap, prices of goods, services and admission tickets can be terribly shocking once you convert it to peso. Of course, they always say don’t convert else you won’t buy anything. Then again, there are plenty of inexpensive options around, specially here in [tag]Melbourne[/tag]. There are plenty of free…

  • Goodbye, 2006!

    Another year is coming to a close less than two hours from now. Yet I’m here at my sister’s house in my jammies with only the sound of the ticking clock for company. There’s a TV less than 10 feet away from me and I can’t even bring myself to reach for the remote and…

  • Just an observation

    Teenagers around the world all look the same: they all look weird. They would either wear whatever Paris, Nichole, Lindsay or Britney is wearing, or pattern their outfits after their favorite emo band.

  • This month’s latest fad

    All I can say about Singapore today is that everybody has a Crumpler bag. Well, not everybody like EVERYBODY, but everywhere I go there’s somebody with a Crumpler. In the bus, at the bookstore, at the Mall, in Orchard Road. Specially in Orchard Road. I wonder what will I see next when I come back?

  • Greeting from Chagi Airport!

    Hola! I am taking advantage of Singapore’s Changi Airport’s free internet service while I wait for my flight, which is still more than 2 hours away. In all the times I’ve been to Singapore, I never really had the chance to wander around and discover the wealth of activities you can do inside the airport…

  • Internet Check-In

    All I can say is that I love it. I just hope they don’t botch this up. But I’m optimistic they won’t. Then again, this IS Manila. OMG, is this going to be a full flight?!

Got any book recommendations?
