During my birthday last year, the hubby gifted me with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. This has been on my wishlist for quite some time, especially after we both agreed to retire the Verzio M700 digicam which I got as some schwag from a presscon. It helped that a number of bloggers already own the Lumix LX3 and gave positive reviews about it. More than two months after holding the Lumix, I do find that it is the perfect camera companion for a lazy SLR user like me. Mine is a sleek black, and it doesn't look too attractive from outside. But you'll surely appreciate how, ... Continue Reading...
Cebu Pacific gets flak for refusing to carry special child
Cebu Pacific horror stories are in the air again. On Facebook and Twitter tonight, Cebu Pacific is getting some flak from online denizens for refusing to carry a special child. In this case, a child with global developmental delay. The reports are sketchy as of yet, but online folks are crying foul to this move by Cebu Pacific which takes pride in its slogan "Now Every Juan Can Fly." This time around, the budget airline is being compared to its rival PAL (Philippine Air Lines) which reportedly has a more humanitarian policy toward senior citizens and persons with ...

Google Nexus One superphone
That's right. One of my 2010 New Year's resolutions is to buy a new mobile phone, after having decided that the last Christmas season was a bad time to buy one (prices were high and thefts were on the rise). Unknown to friends, am only using a basic phone and have two other high-tech phones just hidden in the drawer, tee hee. The plan is to give the basic phone to my son (it's time he has one since he's on the verge of high school) while am gonna trade in the two others for a single phone with good video capability. Any suggestions out there? Anyway, mobile phone ... Continue Reading...
Bistro Coron & other food treats in an island-town
Mainly, what made our trip to Coron, Palawan enjoyable was that I wasn't prepared for the quality of the food that awaited us here. It was simply superb! Bistro Coron has been popular with tourists and I must say they deserve the positive reviews. Dining at the bistro is one of the reasons why I want to go to Coron a second time. Too bad I didn't get into the habit of memorizing the menu, being on honeymoon mode, LOL. But just to give you an idea, here's what a divine breakfast at Bistro Coron looks like , at P250 or so. Nothing makes a more perfect morning than a ... Continue Reading...
Coron Gateway Hotel
As I said, even on a lean month like September, lodgings in a tourist town like Coron were fully-booked, especially popular ones like the Village Lodge and the overrated Sea Dive. So we ended up in the most expensive place, the Coron Gateway Hotel which was on its soft opening at that time. This was located in a nondescript building that looked more like an office than anything. The room cost us P3,500 a night, but we were certainly satisfied when we saw it. I liked its interiors, and an LCD TV wasn't something I expected to find in a provincial hotel. We also ... Continue Reading...
