We all know this is the era of the speedy, supersonic browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla, Safari, Opera..you name it.Internet Explorer is also in this Hall of Fame but it has taken a fall in recent years despite the fact that for most of us, it was the first-ever browser we were introduced to in our colorful web-surfing life. My major complaint with this browser: it was slow! Some of the sites/ blogs I was reading also weren't compatible with it. I am ... Continue Reading...

Must-taste of the week: Ferrero chocolate gelato @ Sol Gelato in Venice Piazza
In the cosmopolitan food hub that is Manila, colorfully-designed frozen yogurt cafes go head to head with ice cream parlors and gelaterias for supremacy in the field of chilly treats. I believe that froyo has had its heyday, it's time to say a big HELLO to good ol' ice cream (think Sebastian's) or sharpen up your tongue for a divine taste of Italy - gelato oh gelato! My must-try of the week are the frozen desserts at Sol Gelato. We went to this quaint spot at the Venice Piazza in McKinley Hill after gorging on dishes from the Food Adventure tour. Being a ...

Save Social Energy!
I grew up in the 90s meeting people in bars and parties. These days, much of the socializing is done online, through Facebook, blogs, forums and other virtual communities. I've counted my FB friends (1,500 or so of them) and realized that 70 per cent of them I wouldn't recognize if I met them on the street. Then it dawns on me that I've been spending most of my time facing dear lappy in the bedroom. The friend I used to have coffee with in 1999 is now the friend who sold me a cookie cutter in Multiply, chatted with me after a webinar or added me as a pal on ... Continue Reading...
Kids fly for free with Qatar Airways while Malaysia Airlines bans babies
I've never ridden the award-winning Qatar Airways but I thought this is a great promotion and it would be a sin not to share with my readers: an adult booking a flight to the Middle East by August 27, 2011 pays zero fare up to two kids. Only travel taxes and surcharges shall apply. The promo, meant to encourage family holidays, is good to use in the following destinations: Abu Dhabi, Aleppo, Amman, Bahrain, Beirut, Damascus, Doha, Dubai, Kuwait, Muscat and Riyadh - all in the Middle East. Here's the complete fine print: (via Qatar Airways website) Ticket holders ... Continue Reading...
