Since it's Christmas bonus time, I decided to treat my kids to visit the sprawling Manila Ocean Park behind the Quirino Grandstand in Luneta. It was our first time to see the place since the Park opened to the public almost a year ago. These costumed clowns greeted us at the entrance: First impressions: MOP could do better with a little more organization, more park guides to lead the visitors and brochures. Some parts, like the open water marine habitat, are not yet open to the public. Overall, we had a good time. Am glad there's a place like this now in ... Continue Reading...

Litratong Pinoy 36: Eksayted!
What makes you eksayted? Eksayted ako kapag mayroon akong regalong natanggap at hindi ko alam kung ano ang nasa loob nun. Eksayted ako kapag nakakakita ako ng long-lost friends.

Eksayted ako sa nalalapit naming pagkikita ng aking Irog. <3 Eksayted ako kasi Pasko na! ... Continue Reading...
Filipino desserts
Since I have enough Flickr pics to show for it, here's my little lowdown on Filipino desserts. Mind you, this is not complete yet. Am craving for guinataang halo-halo right now, and I don't have a photo to show for it. Kudos to the new breed of Pinoy restaurants, even the so-called fusion ones, for giving new twists to old favorites.

My Top 3 Cellphone Peeves
Word Sell. Inc. has an ongoing group blogging project on Cellphone Users and Abusers. Since the topic is interesting, I now give my two cents' worth on it. It helps that am in the Philippines, the so-called "texting capital of the world." This way I get to see cellphone mania in action. Here goes my Top 3 Cellphone Peeves: 1. Texting when it's not safe. An example of this is using/not turning off the cellphone in the airplane, before take-off or even upon landing.
