While there's much anticipation for the so-called iPhone 5, tech giant Samsung has shown that it's ahead of the game with the recent launch in London of its high-end smartphone, the Galaxy S III (or S3). Word has it that the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be available to consumers starting late May or June. Being a Galaxy S2 user, I am of course excited about this development since I would like to know if there's enough reason to upgrade. Judging from the specs of the new Samsung android phone, looks like there are lots of reasons to switch phones now indeed! :) Here ... Continue Reading...
Bicol Express: the train, not the food
I've been researching on the state of the Philippine National Railway trains because I want to use this mode of transport in going to Bicol. In popular parlance, the trains are known as the Bicol Express. I don't know if this differs from the train line called Mayon Limited. The trains are further classified into de luxe and ordinary.

Katips (which is how some people refer to this campus area) is generally no man's land for me because it's at the end of the equator (the north to my south). But I just couldn't say no to this girl: the new PR manager for Greenwich Pizza, Ms. Cookie Cabrera. Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed the long drive to Katipunan because it made me see an area I don't always venture into (yes I know right, this is ONLY Manila!) A change of scenery can be good sometimes (even if you see mostly smog in this ... Continue Reading...
Jollibee delivery: The Avengers bucket
Jollibee Delivery is my family's ultimate go-to when we want a quick snack or when there's no food cooked at home. But the other day, we were in for a different kind of treat because no less than Thor & Incredible Hulk (from The Avengers) movie came in full costume to visit our neighborhood :D They had the added treat of bringing the new Jollibee Avengers buckets....yay! The kids were thrilled to see the two characters and it was just unfortunate that I wasn't around when all the excitement happened. The only person who wasn't excited was our baby daughter Lucia ...
