A daytime trek to Mount Pinatubo -with a starting point in Capas, Tarlac - is highly recommended if you're looking for an activity you can do in one day. An overnight stay is also good if you're one who likes camping out. Overall, this was one trip I totally enjoyed this summer. It had the right combination of sightseeing, physical exercise and adventure, such as our rough ride in the those make-shift four wheeler jeeps - only in the Philippines! Viewing Pinatubo's magnificent crater lake for the first time was a breathtaking experience. It was like being ... Continue Reading...
Yes to Pacquiao, the boxer; no to Pacquiao, the politician….
My Facebook status says it all: why would Manny Pacquiao run for congressman.... why? It is something that continues to confound me, two days after Pacman, the greatest Pinoy boxer who ever lived, smashed to smithereens the British pug Ricky Hatton.

As a mother of three kids, am no stranger to the culinary staple that is the Kiddie Meal. In fact, one of my criteria in eating out with the young 'uns is that it should be a kid-friendly restaurant. Good ol' McDonald's and Jollibee come to mind. Fine dining slash family restos have their offerings as well, complete with crayons, drawing paper, toys and the like. Let us list a few of them that offer tempting treats. Credits to those who makethe effort to present the food well: Do you agree with me when I say McDonald's beats Jollibee in the kiddie meal game? I ... Continue Reading...
Corporate blogging 101: should your company engage in it? (Blog-O-Rama)
Note: This post is adapted from my Manila Bulletin Blog-O-Rama column for April 27, 2009. Because of the popularity of blogs these days, some companies are joining the blog mob or the blog bandwagon. There’s really nothing wrong with this. A corporate blog, after all, is another way to connect with your customers or market on another level. And a blog, if put up well, can project more warmth and candidness than a generic press releases would. It is an affordable, high-impact way to get your message across without the expense of multi-million campaigns. On the ... Continue Reading...
