Coron, Palawan: Captured

Wednesday
Feb 8,2012

My recent vacation to Coron in Palawan, Philippines still lingers in the mind. It took me a PC memory upgrade and a lot of patience to wrap up the video. The extra weight I had to bear due to my heavy camera was worth it. [Read more...]

From an article on Forbes by contributor Beth Greenfield, the Philippines ranked number 8 in the HSBC’s Expat Explorer Survey, released last month. “This country is friendly on wallets, too: 47% report an increase in access to luxuries, including domestic staff, swimming pools, and owning properties,” the survey revealed.

Sunday
Jul 17,2011

I am not a hater but I feel the need to post this message for Cebu Pacific Air. Below is a content from my Facebook note which I have also broadcasted in Twitter. I am hoping that this voice will trigger a good change.

@CebuPacificAir I am very disappointed with how Cebu Pacific Davao has handled my cousin’s case. On July 15, the agent refused her to board her Singapore flight. [Click here to read full story]

While searching for Filipinos in Brussels, I stumbled upon the information that Rizal stayed in Brussels in 1890 and that it was in Brussels where Rizal wrote the El Fili.

Based on correspondences made by Rizal, his letters came from the address “38 Rue Philippe de Champagne, Brussels”. This is supposedly the boarding house where Rizal stayed, which was owned by the Jacoby sisters

Ha Yuan The Kitchen

I’ve mentioned Ha Yuan and its Maki Mi before. However, that post did not do justice to one my favorite eateries.

I grew up eating Ha Yuan at the Food Court of SM Cubao at its Basement. Due to our home’s proximity to SM Cubao, we were there almost every week, and almost every time I would get either taho (soy curd and tapioca with syrup), the Beef Noodle Soup, or the Maki Mi.

Patchi Chocolates from Beirut found its way to the shores of the Philippines, onto my desk and eventually, to my ever excited taste buds.

Once you enter the Patchi store, it is easy to be intimidated. Their display of gift baskets of chocolates are worth at least 4 thousand pesos. On their display shelf of individually wrapped chocolates, you will find an overwhelming number of variants. Even with the menu and description, an indecisive person may experience something short of a seizure from all of the choices… 40 variants!

May dalawang taon na rin ang nakalipas nang na-i-post ko ang tunkol sa Divisoria Shopper’s Map: A guide on the whereabouts of the things you need to buy in Divisoria. Di ko inaasahan na dadagsain ng mga tanong ang aking post at nakakatuwa din naman na malaman na nakakatulong pala ang mga walang kwentang pinagsusulat ko. Sa dami ng nag tatanong sa post ko, marami rin akong hindi nasagot, kung kayat nung minsan na walang pasok, ay sinubukan kong alamin kung saan nga ba sa Divisoria makikita yun mga bagay na karaniwang tinatanong sakin.

Santa Rosa, Laguna is a very fast growing city. With the extension of SLEX Skyway up to Alabang, it will become one of the closest and easily accessible city south of Manila.

From Filipina on Flip Flops: Travel Tales and the City Life of a Filipina

Minato is a Korean restaurant along Escriva Drive which is part of this entire lot of Korean establishments – you won’t miss it, the handful of signs in Hangul are a dead giveaway (but in case you need more landmarks, it’s the joint of establishments immediately beside Millenia Tower). My friends and I went to college in UA&P, which is around the area, so we were pretty familiar with the place.

Here are five ideas or solutions that I believe will help ease out the worst-than-sardines-packed trains of the Blue Line train system. These will not eliminate the problem (I doubt it will happen – the number of passengers will just get bigger and bigger no matter what), but this will at least give us less headaches and minimize the time period that we have to endure the worst-than-sardines-packed trains of what we used to call MRT-3.

Please help in spreading this, let’s get these ideas noticed by the authorities and the Blue Line management.
