It's been ages since I visited the National Museum. I used to work in that hallowed building back in the 90s, because the Philippine Senate was housed there. It's really such a shame to be ogling at museums in other countries and not loving your own. Must.go there.soon. The National Museum today has undergone a complete transformation. In fact it can already compare with its counterparts in Asia and beyond. It boasts of an extensive art and artifact collection housed in 21 galleries and spanning two colonial-era buildings. What can be seen in its historic walls? ... Continue Reading...
Last three days of the Manila International Book fair
The written word is alive and well, thanks to the annual staging of the Manila International Book Fair. This event, which started last Friday, September 12 will end on Tuesday, Sept 16 so there's only three days left for bibliophiles to hobnob with their favorite authors, get your favorite books at a discount and attend mind-enriching seminars. We saw in the schedule some interesting bits such as how to get published, productivity tips from top writers, a forum on book piracy, a cosplay workshop, how to earn from freelancing, and even a talk on "the business of ...

David & Goliath, Havaianas, Zen Zest & a few of my fave things at the moment…
There's been a backlog of blog posts ever since the house move, so I'd just like to give the heads-up to the following products I tried recently: Havaianas.... I Heart!

In the past, I would have shunned a signature brand for my tsinelas (slippers) since it's just tsinelas anyway. But I like how Havaianas lets you ... Continue Reading...
Jollibee TV is coming to town
My whole family loves Jollibee. It is the ultimate Filipino icon. I love the fact that you can eat a decent meal there for less than $1. And it's so true.

Now, for some piece of news.Jollibee has branched out to a cartoon show on television. In a family-oriented format called Jollitown. ... Continue Reading...
In the mood for a little splurging? Try the Diamond Hotel Indulgence Card
Not too long ago, some sweet-talking hotel salesperson convinced me to get a couple of hotel membership cards. Thankfully it was something I don't regret putting my money on. Am a hedonist and believe there's nothing wrong in treating my family to some luxury every now and then. Recently, one of my favorite five-star digs in Manila Bay launched their VIP card and am putting out this press release because I've tried the place and it's highly-recommended: For a fee of P4,999 ( a little more than $100 annually), one can get the Diamond Hotel's privilege card called the ...
