This long, hot summer makes us wanna beat the heat, literally! We're now left with two choices, it seems: stay indoors with the airconditioning in full blast, or dive in where the water can caress our skin. For the latter, we can now choose to go to Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa which has opened the first and only world-class inflatable water park, in cooperation with BikiWorld of South Korea. The latest attraction is called EK Biki Waterworld which consists of six giant inflatable pools with water slides, games and rides that families can enjoy in a safe and ... Continue Reading...

Hello again, Mario’s!
There were two reasons that would make preggy ol' me brave the rush-hour traffic to Quezon City on a Thursday night: our wedding emcee, Spanky, and his invite to try the delectable dishes awaiting us at Mario's, one of the most enduring restaurants in the Tomas Morato area (operating for 30 or so years now, wouldja believe?) It was time to meet again owners Mrs. Nenuca Benitez and her son Mr. Fil Benitez who were quite excited to introduce their new house specials. One thing about Mario's (in the few times I've dined there), their food doesn't disappoint and their ... Continue Reading...

We've eaten a few times at the fairly new Venice Piazza in McKinley Hill, the latest restaurant strip to open near the Fort.

Old Vine Grille was a costly disappointment and Stackers burgers weren't really as juicy and tasty as one expects to be. I am forever waiting for Ristras Mexican Grill to open, mostly because San Juan is a long drive from where we live. But the ... Continue Reading...
The new Barbara: revealed! (updated)
She looks good enough to be a movie star! So this is how Barbara Cruz, Manila's latest "mystery girl," looks when totally transformed and made over. During a "reveal party" held at the Baypark, Manila, Barbara was finally identified as a 21-year-old I.T. consultant in a BPO company. She first caught the attention of many people due to her thick brows and old-fashioned (Maria Clara) way of dressing. ... Continue Reading...
Noynoy Aquino on the cover of the April 26 issue of TIME Magazine
Noynoy Aquino's campaign seems to have scored another PR coup with Noynoy being put on the cover of TIME Magazine's April 26, 2010 issue headlined "The New Aquino." The feature is significant for several reasons: 1) it plays up his image before the international community; 2) it is a recognition from the international media, especially a renowned magazine like TIME which is a lot less likely to be biased and partial than the local media; 3) it follows past TIME covers/articles about the Aquino family figurehead, the late President Cory Aquino and 4) the article ...
