One of Asia's leading on demand video services, HOOQ, recently celebrated its second year anniversary at the 20-20 bar in Makati. We thought it was fun, even though there was Martial Law at the buffet station, lol. Manila's party people, celebrities and models were there to cheer with HOOQ, especially as it sets its sights on even bigger things on Year 3. Here's a photo essay of some beautiful people at the party - CEO Peter Bithos gave the usual motivational and hopeful speech.... Beauty queen Christi McGarry and Eduardo Lara were spinning at the DJs' ... Continue Reading...

Photos of storm Mario submerging Manila in flood
We didn't see this coming!!! Most of us in Metro Manila were awakened with thunder and lightning brought about by Storm Mario (international code name: Fung-Wong) ..so loud that I thought it was the Apocalypse! With my Girl Scout mentality, I was planning escape plans in my head should the situation get worse (because the thunder was giving me nightmares in my half-awake state). But thankfully, I live in an area where the streets don't get flooded (even during the worst of Ondoy). Even more thankful when we woke up to find out that classes were suspended, and so was ...

LTO ban on license plate covers… is unbelievable!
We all know what this country needs aren't more laws and stupid regulations coming from the bureaucracy. What we need is strict enforcement about policies that make sense to the public, not formulated depending on the whim of those in power. Anyway, I was in a state of exasperation last week when I was flagged down by a traffic officer for a 'traffic violation'. I said "what?" I was in the right lane, wasn't driving on my coding day, and wasn't beating the yellow light the way I sometimes do (LOL). The officer told me that I was in violation of something that I ...

Typhoon Glenda photos, 56 hours of no electricity & counting…
Friends and kin have been asking if my little family is fine in the aftermath of typhoon Glenda. We have been surviving with no power for three days now :) The brownout started early morning of Wednesday (along with a cut-off in water supply) and I can only believe Meralco when they say it will restored by 10 tonight. I hope so... please give us a reason to rejoice this weekend! The water has come back but 60 hours (and counting) of no electricity is just so cruel. Am still trying to figure out which was worse: Typhoon Milenyo or Glenda. I dug through my archives ... Continue Reading...
