After a nightmare of a bus ride, we were happy enough to check in at Hotel St. Ellis on Rizal St. Legazpi City. The inviting lobby bathed in soft hues didn't disappoint me, and more so when I saw the bedroom. This is their standard room which looked regal enough. I agree with one of the commenters in Foursquare who said " Beware of their pillows and bed, you might not want to get up for your early flight." There's something about the pillows in the room - so comfy! I guess the only thing that works against the room is that it doesn't have a bath tub. Also, I ... Continue Reading...
Bicol Express train : the review
We made a lightning trip to Bicol a few weeks ago. Part of the crazy plan was to go by land ( even though we pretty much live beside the airport). Here it went: bus to Legaspi City (10 hours!) and on the way back, catch the night Bicol Express train departing from Naga (which is about 2 hours from Legaspi). In EDSA Pasay, we caught the DLTB Bus to Legaspi which turned out to be hellish. It didn't help that we were at the tailend of the bus which advertised itself as having wi-fi but really had none! Ride was so bumpy all throughout that I actually savored the ... Continue Reading...

100: The Francis Libiran Fashion Gala @ Manila Hotel
The majestic Manila Hotel is 100 years old this year, and so it decided to hold 100: The Francis Libiran Fashion Gala last September 28. I normally shy away from night events and especially if the occasion calls for formal wear. However, I figured that being surrounded by beauty is edifying after a hectic work week. Having been duly impressed by a sighting of Francis Libiran's delicate wedding gowns way back, it was now time to view the whole collection. There's no doubt this fashion designer is one of the finest, if not the finest in the country today. If he came ... Continue Reading...
