Don't know if it's a boon or a bane that online shopping exemplifies our borderless world. These days, it doesn't anymore matter if that coat or bag you fancy is in Shanghai or New York. You don't have to purchase that round trip plane ticket but just click on the Buy Now button and wait for the goods to arrive to you. Uncommongoods.com is one shopping website I checked out recently after they introduced themselves to me. Their company is based in Brooklyn, New York but I was elated to know they also ship to the Philippines. What I was most impressed with was their ... Continue Reading...

Check out the Sleepcare Pillow Buffet at Gourdo’s!
Gourdo's is definitely one of my favorite lifestyle stores in Manila. I never go out without a purchase, and sometimes I just get my therapy from staring at their beautiful plates, tea sets, towels and other thingamajigs for the home. Most recently, I was invited to an introduction of the Sleepcare Pillow Buffet at their SM Mega Fashion Hall branch and I could say it was very enlightening, to say the least.

Bloggers’ accreditation is a good beginning
And now for something that's not lifestyle- related. There is a snowballing move - with the imprimatur of Malacanang itself - to accredit bloggers for the all-important coverage of President Duterte's activities and of course, the Presidency itself. For an old-time blogger like me who's been in the industry for 12 or so years, this is an historic move which shouldn't be ignored and should elicit the cooperation of dear blogging colleagues. We know how disparate and independent we are but for this one time, we should band together for the long-term survival of our ... Continue Reading...
Casa Roces restaurant in Malacañang
The nice experience we had dining in Feliza Taverna Y Cafe last year made me long to try another heritage restaurant. By some stroke of luck, there's one in the old part of Manila. It just so happened I found myself with two appointments in the area that day, just a few steps away from Malacañang Palace and those imposing gates! This part of Manila called the San Miguel district used to be the enclave of the rich and famous during the Spanish era. Don't be surprised if you see a few old houses and mansions here. I love that the area remains quiet and genteel. ... Continue Reading...
