I couldn't quite contain my happiness and excitement that a big branch of Saizen discount store has opened at the Faura Wing of Robinsons Place Manila (Robinsons Place Ermita, if you wish!) As I love all things Saizen, this is bad news for my wallet, but am certainly glad it is just a few steps away from where I work now. It used to be that I waited for the opportunity to go to their branch in Robinsons Galleria to buy all those cute and funky stuff I adore! The good thing with shopping in Saizen, there's new items each time. But you really have to allot time and ... Continue Reading...

Typhoon Pedring aftermath photos – Roxas Boulevard
I took these pictures of Roxas Boulevard this morning in the aftermath of typhoon Pedring. Prior to this, I drove to work on the evening of the 27th on this same long strip of the road totally devoid of lights. Quite scary. I hope the hard task of reconstruction begins soon. I feel sad because Roxas Boulevard, in my opinion, is the most beautiful part of Manila. I probably feel biased because I drive to work here everyday and the view of Manila Bay, amid the tree-lined boulevard, is totally superb. ... Continue Reading...
Typhoon Pedring photos taken by citizen journalists
Stay safe everyone! We had to spend most part of the day with no power as Typhoon Pedring (international code name: Nesat) lashed here in Metro Manila. My only consolation is that all members of the family stayed home today and did not have to brave the strong winds and wade through the flooded streets. There's no better time to stay indoors and keep dry. We had a brief respite at a nearby mall to have a pizza meal and enjoy the airconditioning. Am just thankful that our great suburb of Paranaque has been spared from the wrath of the floods that afflicts most areas ... Continue Reading...
