The Philippines has just become the best place in Asia to get that authentic Philly cheese steak experience. That's because a pioneer store in Makati is the only Asian franchise (so far!) of The Cheese Steak Shop, a food company based in San Francisco which has been serving those great-tasting Philly-style cheese steak sandwiches for decades. Look for this yellow-lit sign when you're cruising along Arnaiz Avenue (formerly Pasay Road) in Makati. This is where the first branch of The Cheese Steak Shop in the Philippines is located. As a sandwich, I do believe ... Continue Reading...

Steve Jobs: February 24,1955 – October 5, 2011
This day has been filled mostly with tweets, tributes and outpourings of grief from people on the death of the great tech visionary, Steven Jobs.I've spent the time re-reading his biography and watching his famous 2005 speech to graduating students of Stanford University.There are many snippets of his life I find inspiring (being an adopted child for one). It's just quite regrettable that he has to "retire" so early at the tender age of 56. Short as his life may be, Steve Jobs leaves behind a legacy of greatness in Apple and among millions of users around the world. ... Continue Reading...
Samsung Series 3 notebook in yummy colors
I wonder how many people will be getting gadgets this Christmas but am sure the young-at-heart out there won't mind getting one of these. This is what I'd call The eye candy - the stylish Samsung Series 3 305U1A notebook in attractive colors: black, silver, blue, pink & purple . Retail price is around 23 thousand pesos. We've had the chance to see this new line of notebooks during a chocolate-themed affair at Chocolate Fire a few weeks ago. Glad to know it's not just alluring but a powerhouse in one compact body as well.Most impressive is the slim bezel display ... Continue Reading...

I had a close look at the Xperia Play which was launched by Sony Ericsson Philippines yesterday at the official price of P19,990. Gamers are of course excited as this phone is the first one to be Playstation-certified.

If you purchase this phone (perfect for your gaming-addicted loved ones this Christmas!) it will come preloaded with the following games: Bruce Lee, Crash Bandicoot, FIFA 2010, Madden NFL 11, Star Battalion, and The SIMS 3. ...

Saizen store opens in Robinsons Place Manila
I couldn't quite contain my happiness and excitement that a big branch of Saizen discount store has opened at the Faura Wing of Robinsons Place Manila (Robinsons Place Ermita, if you wish!) As I love all things Saizen, this is bad news for my wallet, but am certainly glad it is just a few steps away from where I work now. It used to be that I waited for the opportunity to go to their branch in Robinsons Galleria to buy all those cute and funky stuff I adore! The good thing with shopping in Saizen, there's new items each time. But you really have to allot time and ... Continue Reading...
