I've worked in the United Kingdom but I never experienced studying there. What an awesome experience it must be. This country, besides being the hub of monarchy, offers much in terms of cultural and historical exploration. Thankfully, one can learn much about studying in the UK through the British Council in the Philippines, including ways on how to get scholarships there. From January to March, the British Council launches Education UK, a campaign meant to inform Filipinos on the educational opportunities in the United Kingdom. ... Continue Reading...

The new St. Luke’s Medical Center at Bonifacio Global City
On the way to the car dealership, we passed by the new St. Luke's Medical Center in Bonifacio Global City and can't help but be impressed by how imposing it was from the outside. It looked fairly empty too, as expected of a hospital which has just opened. I do expect to see it one of these days since my obstetrician-gynecologist also holds clinic here. Anyway, I could never guess what this room was. Is it a condo or a room in a five-star hotel? No to both. It is part of the presidential suite of the new St. Luke's. (via isabelledaza on Twitter) ...

How to ride a taxi safely in Manila
One good reason to get a car of your own to drive in Manila, no matter what a rickety, old second-hand it is: it' actually safer to drive on your own in the city's crazy streets than depend on public transportation. My own arguments against riding public transport are these - if you're riding a taxi: you never know the driver's temperament or if their meters are reliable. Some smell of LPG gas (because, well, they're using it) and it's really crazy hailing taxis during rush hours, the holiday season and when it rains. As for FXs buses and jeepneys, I get ...

To Tagaytay City, after a long time
Post New Year, the whole family motored down to Tagaytay City. Excitement was in the air because the kids and I haven't been here for a long time and it was also the hubby's first time to see the place. Due to the notorious traffic along the South Expressway, I've mercilessly given up going to Tagaytay through the years in favor of other itineraries in the North. But I guess absence does make the heart grow fonder.... On the way there, we first make a lunch stop at Kanin Club in Paseo de Sta. Rosa. As expected of this in-demand resto, we had to wait for a few ... Continue Reading...
