Close to three years of being a blogger and more than two years of covering the blog beat has led me to observe the emergence of a "blogging culture" and how, little by little, these bloggers - the so-called new kids on the block - are running over the mainstream. A few examples: Blogger: Six-figure monthly salary, if you're an A-lister, no age required Journalist: Six-figure monthly salary, if you're a seasoned editor-in-chief, pushing 40 to 50 Blogger: Work from home Journalist: Surely you can bring work. At home. Blogger: Flexible hours. Journalist: ... Continue Reading...
Coco loco at Cocorama Pancake Island & All-Day Groovy Cafe
coco murals2 Merriest Easter greetings to all. If everything works out well (that means waking up early), me and the kiddies will be having brunch today at this little mall resto I discovered recently.. a coconut-inspired cafe in the middle of the concrete jungle that is the mall in EDSA Shang-ri La. Upon first setting my eyes here, I have to admit that the place attracted me because of its cheery interiors, the bright, hippie-inspired murals plastered on its walls, blaring 60s funky music and its offerings ~ pancakes, shakes, omelets and more which are ...

Holy Week, and Manila is a ‘ghostland’…
I don't understand why people insist on going out of Manila at this time...though it is exactly for these same folks going out that I get to enjoy being left here when there's no traffic,no noisy vendors and no commuters jostling each other.

This is exactly what I wish the city to be, less of course the dirt, the pollution and ... Continue Reading...
At last… a Wagyu beef meal @ Malcolm’s Place
Malcolm's Place menu O-k-a-y, it's Holy Week now and Good Friday soon but please just allow me this little post on the nice Wagyu beef meal I had at this resto we stumbled upon right after the Blog Awards called Malcolm's Place. So it was after the Bloggies and there was a standing invitation to hop on over to Hula Hula Bar in EDSA Shang for a celebration party. Though the idea of cooling off with an ice-cold bottle of San Miguel very much appealed to me, the thought of traversing a major bus-filled highway set me back. Am just learning how to drive ...

’twas like the Oscars of Philippine blogging, teehee..
One of the highlights of the past week was the finals of the Philippine Blog Awards. Being a judge and minor sponsor to this event, I was egging my friends to go with me but nobody wanted to, either because they were busy, shy, scared or whatever. Finally, my buddy James, managing ed of Metro Magazine relented...maybe because he's curious about blogging and will start a blog soon?? (abangan) Here's one of our first pictures when we arrived at the humungous RCBC Plaza with another blogger, Pierre of The Jester in Exile. Who else would I see loitering in the ...
