Ed Westwick of Gossip Girl is confirmed to be in Manila and will stay here till Friday. It's definitely a YAY! to all the girls waiting to see him here. But it's not clear if he will meet the press or do other public engagements as his purpose for being in town appears to be doing a shoot for local clothing brand Penshoppe. The Manila Peninsula will be his homebase while in town. A picture of Ed Westwick (a.k.a. Chuck Bass) amid a huge BDO signage was taken by a local fan and posted in her Tumblr account. Thereupon, she described him as a really nice guy and ... Continue Reading...
Australian tourist visa application & requirements
I almost gave up on travelling to Australia. That's because I got all my documents ready less than a week before my scheduled date of travel. In its website, the Australian Embassy in Manila says processing time for tourist visas is five to seven working days (emphasis on working). I thought to myself " how can I possibly do this?" But my sponsor encouraged me to just try. And so I did! :D Let me say I had a very good experience dealing with the Australian Embassy (as opposed to the US Embassy Manila where horror stories abound). I did not meet anybody from the ...

Emirates (EK) flight, Singapore to Brisbane… and back!
This is a rather belated post on my experience flying Emirates (EK) from Singapore to Brisbane (and vice versa) early this month. Am writing about this because I have never flown this airline before. And being the anxious traveller, I've never really travelled long-haul since going to Germany in 2002. It goes without saying that am not the type who sleeps throughout, so long flights are like purgatory to me :D It didn't help any that this Emirates flight was turbulent for 80% of the time that it took us to travel to Brisbane (or more than seven hours of flying) The ...

LG 3D TV: next generation cinema
It seems the hot trend for TV now is 3D. This makes the $2000 LCD TV we bought back in 2009 obsolete. If you're shopping for a new boob tube, it's worth looking at what market leader LG has to offer in terms of next generation 3D TVs. First you gotta have 3D glasses. LG claims their Cinema 3D glasses are light and do not need batteries or charging. They also use Film Patterned Retarder (FPR) technology that do not make one dizzy the longer you use. There's a polarized film on the TV screen to deliver different images for the left and right eyes. The images jive with ... Continue Reading...
Galaxy S II is the latest Samsung Android phone
Galaxy S II, Samsung's much-awaited Android phone, will officially be available in the Philippines next month or June 2011. I first saw this phone last month. Head to head with the LG Optimus 2X and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, some people are actually saying that Samsung's Galaxy S II is the best of the bunch. Let's see :D At first glance, what impressed me most was the ultra-crisp screen display. Not surprising since the phone boasts of super AMOLED plus screen. Images, as seen by the human eye, are clearer than ever before. ... Continue Reading...
