Except for the chance to taste Zubuchon, my recent trip to Cebu was inconsequential. Strolling through the Ayala Center made me feel like I was just in Manila.Everything changed, however, when we went to the island town of Mactan which can be reached in 40 minutes from the city proper. There's something a city slicker like me would kill for and that's spending a day at the beach and enjoying postcard-perfect sights like these... We were billeted at the Crimson Beach Resort & Spa, the newest in the thriving island. The first thing that impressed me about this ... Continue Reading...

As a sandwich, I do believe ... Continue Reading...
Steve Jobs: February 24,1955 – October 5, 2011
This day has been filled mostly with tweets, tributes and outpourings of grief from people on the death of the great tech visionary, Steven Jobs.I've spent the time re-reading his biography and watching his famous 2005 speech to graduating students of Stanford University.There are many snippets of his life I find inspiring (being an adopted child for one). It's just quite regrettable that he has to "retire" so early at the tender age of 56. Short as his life may be, Steve Jobs leaves behind a legacy of greatness in Apple and among millions of users around the world. ... Continue Reading...
Samsung Series 3 notebook in yummy colors
I wonder how many people will be getting gadgets this Christmas but am sure the young-at-heart out there won't mind getting one of these. This is what I'd call The eye candy - the stylish Samsung Series 3 305U1A notebook in attractive colors: black, silver, blue, pink & purple . Retail price is around 23 thousand pesos. We've had the chance to see this new line of notebooks during a chocolate-themed affair at Chocolate Fire a few weeks ago. Glad to know it's not just alluring but a powerhouse in one compact body as well.Most impressive is the slim bezel display ... Continue Reading...
