Why bloggers are the new block… new (spoiled) kids on the block
Close to three years of being a blogger and more than two years of covering the blog beat has led me to observe the emergence of a "blogging culture" and how, little by little, these bloggers - the so-called new kids on the block - are running over the mainstream. A few examples: Blogger: Six-figure monthly salary, if you're an A-lister, no age required Journalist: Six-figure monthly salary, if you're a seasoned editor-in-chief, pushing 40 to 50 Blogger: Work from home Journalist: Surely you can bring work. At home. Blogger: Flexible hours. Journalist: ... Continue Reading...

This is exactly what I wish the city to be, less of course the dirt, the pollution and ... Continue Reading...
At last… a Wagyu beef meal @ Malcolm’s Place
Malcolm's Place menu O-k-a-y, it's Holy Week now and Good Friday soon but please just allow me this little post on the nice Wagyu beef meal I had at this resto we stumbled upon right after the Blog Awards called Malcolm's Place. So it was after the Bloggies and there was a standing invitation to hop on over to Hula Hula Bar in EDSA Shang for a celebration party. Though the idea of cooling off with an ice-cold bottle of San Miguel very much appealed to me, the thought of traversing a major bus-filled highway set me back. Am just learning how to drive ...
