Can't remember when Korean food overtook Japanese as my favorite Asian cuisine, but I do crave for it now more than the other. There are a lot of Korean restaurants in Manila, but the problem is I always find it hard to tag along my friends there. You see, everybody likes dimsum but not everyone acquires the taste for kimchi. Moreover, the average you can spend for a meal by your lonesome in a Korean resto is P300 - quite expensive for an office worker, tee hee. So I guessed the next best thing was to figure out how to cook their cuisine. The first sensible thing ... Continue Reading...

Face-to-face with world bowling champion Paeng Nepomuceno
I still have to personally meet Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao, but I was certainly glad to mingle face-to-face with Paeng Nepomuceno who, in his heyday, brought pride to the country by being a World Bowling Champion SIX TIMES. Still lithe and limber at 52, Paeng is pushing for a different advocacy. he's now working to include bowling as an Olympic sport, starting with the 2012 London Olympics. "Bowling is truly an Olympic sport. It entails mental and physical precision, superior hand-eye coordination, unwavering muscle memory and tremendous stamina and endurance," says ...

Online shopping in the Philippines and beyond
I have to admit it was the husband who introduced me to online shopping. Because we're apart, we've gotten into the habit of sending gifts to each other (okay, he's better at it than me, hehe). It was here that I discovered the numerous websites existing solely for the purpose of selling through the internet. For example, when I want to ogle at new tees, I go to Threadless even though I already have a closet full of 'em. They have an active online community where artists can submit their designs and members can rate 'em. If you're a t-shirt lover, there's always ... Continue Reading...

Testing out D-loads cellphone reloading business
It is common for small business owners to try other income streams to maximize business space.It is the way to survive, especially if you're paying a monthly rent or trying to find a way to augment your income. For example, the sari-sari store in our block is also selling Japanese surplus items which seems to be common these days. I was discussing with fellow blogger Wenchie since we both own laundry shops and we've agreed that we can very well sell ukay-ukay clothes too, if only we know the source, LOL. Cellphone reloading is really the easiest sideline ... Continue Reading...
