Shortly after New Year, I decided to motor down with the kids to Solenad 2 in the upscale district of Nuvali in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. I haven't really checked out this place ever since writing about its opening in July 2011. It was a good, sunny day and we arrived at our destination in a little less than 40 minutes! At noon, the place was already crowded and I had a hard time finding a parking spot. It was all open-air parking. Solenad 2 is designed as a sprawling strip mall, no upper storeys. Hunger pangs were gnawing at our tummies and a food bazaar in the middle ... Continue Reading...
Travelling to Sagada
Travelling to Sagada is something a Filipino should make once in his lifetime. As for me, I've always had this dream of going to Sagada but you really have to make the effort to see it. The land travel was no joke. Ten hours or so going by bus to Banaue and then another 4 to 5 hours riding a jeepney to your final destination. Along the way, you encounter zigzag roads with the mountains to your right and deep ravines to your left. I figure there are also landslides during the rainy season :) Travel to Sagada usually peaks during Holy Week and the date before New Year ... Continue Reading...
Coloud headphones + giveaway!
I certainly felt like a teenager using these Coloud headphones. First off, the color is very attractive - hence, it's something that you can fashionably wear over your head. Design and construction are well-made as you can only expect from a Swedish brand. I wasn't familiar with Coloud as a label because I think they're new in the Philippines but I have to tell you later in my review that am impressed. And guess what, am giving two readers a chance to own these sassy headphones for the New Year just by following our simple mechanics via Rafflecopter. Here's a look ... Continue Reading...

Places to eat in Sagada, Mountain Province
Will tell you more later about my milestone trip to Sagada which is one of those places in the Philippines on my bucket (fucket?) list :) I guess not many will believe me that I traveled so far to sample the cuisine, because everybody else goes to Sagada to go trekking, spelunking and to feel the cold, cold breeze. I did all those too, but the most enjoyable part for me was being ensconced in some remote coffeeshop just enjoying the good view (there was plenty!) Here's a sample, taken at Gaia Cafe and Crafts. Note the rice terraces in the background. I guess ... Continue Reading...
