The new St. Luke’s Medical Center at Bonifacio Global City
On the way to the car dealership, we passed by the new St. Luke's Medical Center in Bonifacio Global City and can't help but be impressed by how imposing it was from the outside. It looked fairly empty too, as expected of a hospital which has just opened. I do expect to see it one of these days since my obstetrician-gynecologist also holds clinic here. Anyway, I could never guess what this room was. Is it a condo or a room in a five-star hotel? No to both. It is part of the presidential suite of the new St. Luke's. (via isabelledaza on Twitter) ...

How to ride a taxi safely in Manila
One good reason to get a car of your own to drive in Manila, no matter what a rickety, old second-hand it is: it' actually safer to drive on your own in the city's crazy streets than depend on public transportation.

To Tagaytay City, after a long time
Post New Year, the whole family motored down to Tagaytay City. Excitement was in the air because the kids and I haven't been here for a long time and it was also the hubby's first time to see the place. Due to the notorious traffic along the South Expressway, I've mercilessly given up going to Tagaytay through the years in favor of other itineraries in the North. But I guess absence does make the heart grow fonder.... On the way there, we first make a lunch stop at Kanin Club in Paseo de Sta. Rosa. As expected of this in-demand resto, we had to wait for a few ... Continue Reading...
Help Haiti quake victims thru the power of technology
Through the powers of technology, the world is witnessing the unfolding drama that is the aftermath of the powerful Intensity 7 earthquake that hit the Caribbean nation of Haiti. Hundreds of thousands are believed to be still missing and trapped within the shattered buildings. For those of us in the Philippines, the quake in Haiti has some parallels, if you count the tragic July 1990 earthquake (magnitude 7.7) and more recently, Typhoon Ondoy. Three Filipino members of the UN peacekeeping contingent remain unaccounted for in the Haiti tragedy. But unlike the 1991 ... Continue Reading...
