This modest space congratulates the finalists and winners of the Philippine Blog Awards 2008 which just had its successful run at One Esplanade last Sept. 21. It was blogger power at its finest, the awards having been organized by a group of bloggers and carried to fruition by a big army of blogger-volunteers. Everything, from the smashin' AVPs to the emceeing and last-minute details, was done by bloggers. I can still remember the first blogger event I attended in 2004 which filled a long table at Cabalen. Now, blogging in the country has come a long way! Each ... Continue Reading...
Cebu Pacific flies to Japan…. the US next?
You gotta hand it to the Gokongwei-owned Cebu Pacific to aim for domination in the budget airline market. This week, it announced that it will be flying to Osaka, Japan starting November 20, with a P1,999 seat sale for the destination until September 30.

More breakfasts: spotlight on UCC Coffee
I like UCC food and coffee. But I have to admit that while I can have a McDonald's breakfast everyday, UCC is more of an indulgence because the prices are quite, ehrmmm, "expensive." (read: above the minimum daily wage for some) Which is a pity since I find the UCC chain of cafes really good, and the quality never wavers.
