The HP Mini 1100 Vivienne Tam Special Edition has been hugely successful that I hear a Version 2 is in the works. Ever since I've written about it here before, I've been eyeing the netbook as a suitable companion to my aluminum Macbook which I don't take out of the house too often, due to my tendency to lose things - even the most valuable ones, ahem. A netbook also appeals to me because it is simply nifty to bring around wherever you go. This probably explains the growing fashion phenomenon of selling laptop bags and sleeves, in different patterns and colors. I ... Continue Reading...
Whistlestop Restaurant Makati : open 24/7 since 1977
I am quite surprised to learn that Manila's famous Whistlestop Restaurant has been open since 1977. Oh well, I was still a child then, innocent of all the beguiling ways of food. By the 1980s, it was already an institution, and roaring well into the 90s, until it met an untimely death in 2005, for the reason that its original owners chose to migrate to other shores. But as most legends go, some nostalgic fellas are bound to save it because they still believe in the name. And so it goes: there's no stopping Whistlestop. The new owners, young entrepreneurs Lex Ledesma ... Continue Reading...
Got skin allergy? Look for the hypoallergenic seal in your laundry products
One of the things am not happy about is the fact that my skin is highly sensitive, and prone to certain types of allergies, like contact dermatitis. Unfortunately, my son inherited this predicament and when allergy strikes, it's the time for him (or me) to visit the doctor and get the much-needed prescription. During a recent forum, it was quite enlightening to find that one out of five kids worldwide suffer from a form of skin allergy or another. It seems that children who haven't been sufficiently breastfed are susceptible. Environmental pollution, allergen levels ... Continue Reading...
NUKS NUMUN moment: my digital perm at a Korean salon
NUKS NUMUN! is a popular phrase I hear from fellow bloggers these days. I figure that in this age of icanhazcheezburger, it's a variation of the old and jaded Tagalog term of exclamation "naks naman!" (Wow!) As in "NUKS NUMUN! Buhay pa ba ang gumupit ng buhok mo, sis?" :D Barely a month after getting the famous Ricky Reyes haircut, I was itching for change again. It was because my natural curls were showing themselves in their full unflattering glory, which made for an uneven field. It didn't help that the hubby told me he wanted to see me get a perm before he flew ... Continue Reading...
Asian Food Museum by Makansutra now open at Manila Ocean Park
Mostly, I like the Manila Ocean Park because it is one of the few places in Manila where you can enjoy the city's natural beauty without spending much. Ever since Baywalk closed, this is now the place to gaze at the beautiful sunset and watching the panoramic expanse of the Manila Bay while sipping a drink and enjoying the time with your family. The best things in life are (almost) free! It is good that MOP doesn't charge an entrance fee just for entering their complex. After offering the mermaid show, the people behind the Makansutra Asian Food Village ... Continue Reading...
