There were two reasons that would make preggy ol' me brave the rush-hour traffic to Quezon City on a Thursday night: our wedding emcee, Spanky, and his invite to try the delectable dishes awaiting us at Mario's, one of the most enduring restaurants in the Tomas Morato area (operating for 30 or so years now, wouldja believe?) It was time to meet again owners Mrs. Nenuca Benitez and her son Mr. Fil Benitez who were quite excited to introduce their new house specials.

We've eaten a few times at the fairly new Venice Piazza in McKinley Hill, the latest restaurant strip to open near the Fort.

The feature is significant for several reasons: 1) it plays up his image before the international community; 2) it is a recognition from the international media, especially a renowned magazine like TIME which is a lot less likely to be biased and partial than the local media; 3) it follows past TIME covers/articles about the Aquino family figurehead, the late President Cory Aquino and 4) the article ...

Pinoy Blogfest 1.0 at Richmonde Hotel
My friends from Gadgets Magazine are organizing Pinoy Blogfest 1.0 which is happening tomorrow, April 17 at the Richmonde Hotel in Ortigas Center, Pasig City. With the theme " Opportunity & Responsibility," it aims to gather together alternative media practitioners and bloggers on issues confronting new media.

It also reported that the Philippines has the highest percentage of photo uploaders and web video viewers. Among ... Continue Reading...
