Fearless quote from an acquaintance who is now based in Singapore: " Manila is just for visiting my folks, Singapore is my home now. " Knowing the sheer number of Filipino workers in this island-state, many people can probably relate. My first impressions: it's almost a perfect place, one where you can feel very safe in, but somewhat lacking in character. I know this is an an unfair assessment given the fact that I wasn't even able to go to Sentosa or the Night Safari. Was it just me missing Manila's chaos and maddening frenzy? The busy tourist in me could never ... Continue Reading...

The pain of changing Wordpress themes.... The past week saw my traffic drop tremendously after I changed my blog theme to Feedoo. For a while there, I thought my blog was hacked because I couldn't seem to access it from our office, gym (Fitness First) and the mall branch of Netopia.

Riding around town in a 3.5 gas guzzler with the impudent wang-wang is out! Commuting is in, especially as it's the only way our great middle-class can cope with ever-rising gas and diesel prices. ... Continue Reading...
The Legaspi Sunday Market
I figure that summer is the best time to go to the few weekend markets Manila has. There's really no point doing so when it's all wet and rainy, doesn't it? At least with the sunshine out, you can see fruits, plants and vegetables in full abundance, never mind if you have to sort through them with sweaty arms (and pits!) It's that hot and humid in the city these days. The Legaspi Sunday Market is located in a quiet enclave of offices and residential condominiums in Makati, with a pretty park beside it. I didn't know how to go here at first, and my personal GPS just ... Continue Reading...
