Moonlit Bazaar @ Rockwell: shopping finds
So bazaar season is here,and you know what this means right? The shopping madness begins! I love bazaars for last minute Christmas shopping and being a haven of unique finds. There's always something here that I can't find elsewhere and if you're lucky, you can even haggle and bring the price down. Of course you can also go to a bargain paradise like Divisoria, but it gets too crowded there at this time of year. A bazaar becomes your bet for being accessible, safer and with airconditioning to boot! A week ago, the family found ourselves in Rockwell Powerplant Mall ... Continue Reading...

Share your best couple photo and win his & hers Torque phones
It seems that mass-based Android-powered tablets are coming to our doorsteps this Christmas. Torque, one of our blog sponsors from before, has just released their tablet called Droidz View at an affordable price of P4,999. It boasts of wifi, a 7-inch screen, Android version 2.2 (Froyo) and 800MHZ CPU + 400MHZ DSP processor power. I think this is all ideal for someone like me who has young children.

Mama’s Bar & Restaurant Boracay: the largest servings this side of Phili …
And by Phili I meant Philippines. The mouthwatering Philly cheesesteaks at The Cheese Steak Shop in Manila is another thing :). Anyway, when in Boracay, I recommend you try Mama's Bar, Restaurant & Chillout Lounge. Located in the area called Yapak, it's a little out of the way from the mainstream restos of White Beach but worth the penny if you're hankering for good sausages and great German food. This little dive is currently listed as the No. 1 restaurant in Boracay in Trip Advisor, the top travel review website by independent travellers (where am a senior ... Continue Reading...
