The holiday season is in full swing in the city. People doing last-minute shopping, attending parties, drinking, gorging on all the holiday food. Perhaps, a good number will also pause from their busy schedules to give gifts to the less fortunate in this season's spirit of sharing. Amid the glitz and grandeur of Manila's decorations and bright Christmas lights, the bitter truth is that there are remote communities in the Philippines devoid of electricity even as a basic provision. These are areas where roads remain dangerous dark and children study under the pale ... Continue Reading...
Gerry’s Restaurant at 20 : new dishes up
The former Gerry's Grill is now known as Gerry's Restaurant and Bar. But its image as one of the most recognizable Pinoy dining establishments hasn't changed. We learned that Gerry's is turning 20 years old in February 2017. From being a simple joint serving beer and 'pulutan,' it has transformed through the years into a wholesome family restaurant.

Vivo V5 brands itself as the Perfect Selfie phone with its 20 mp Moonlight front-facing camera complemented by a Sony IMX376 camera sensor. This is further boosted by a front-facing soft-light flash for greater illumination when taking selfies. The rear camera, on the other hand, has a ... Continue Reading...
My beauty day at David’s Salon in Madison Galleries Alabang
I've been feeling BLAH of late because of things beyond my control (the TNT fiasco for one). Common sense told me to do something about it, or I will just stay in bed all day feeling pathetic. Someone in her right mind would know pampering and beautifying yourself are time-tested strategies to feel better. Luckily, there was an offer from my hotelier-friend Pearl Peralta-Maclang to try the David's Salon in Alabang which she recently opened with some partners at the Madison Galeries Lifestyle Mall in Alabang. I said yes excitedly as my hair needed new color and life. ... Continue Reading...
