God knows my party days are over. In Manila's night scene, those in the know would readily point to URBN at the Fort strip as a hip place to hang out, especially if your idea is drinking till the morning sun rises.Though still relatively new in the bar scene, somehow it has earned a following not only because of its ambiance and heady mix of cocktails but also its devilishly good food! Nothing beats quality, as they say. Here's a toast to URBN for one of the best dinners I've had this year! Start off the long list of sinful dishes on the menu with a healthy ... Continue Reading...
Pilot error, turbulence & bad weather
Most of my friends have their own horror stories about flying but most of it is about the plane being shaky and uncomfortable mid-flight. Once on a 5J trip to Coron, Palawan, turbulence was so bad for the whole stretch that my seatmates were retching to death on the barf bags and I was trying to humor myself by talking to the stewardess and asking her why the pilot has been quiet throughout :) However, I've figured out that turbulence is not really the culprit for most air accidents, although this one doesn't paint a pretty picture either.

In HK: the giant rubber duck
Art Basel 2013 was the "it" event in Hong Kong last week but the majority remained crazy about the giant rubber duck that's been positioned in Victoria Harbor since May 2. Towering at 54 feet, it is a travelling art installation by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman and is slated to visit the US next after previous visits to Osaka, France, Sydney, Auckland and Sao Paulo. Was lucky enough to be in the territory and I admit it makes for a spectacular sight, especially when placed amidst a backdrop of HK's famous skyline ;) I was imagining our Manila Bay can experience ...
