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...
‘Sex and the City’ the movie loses its beat, but not the spirit….
Like most Sex and the City fans, I simply had to watch The Movie. Never mind if it was such a tall order for its makers to compress six seasons into two and a half hours of musings on love and watching the four ladies sashay in their designers fashions. Except for some very funny moments, the movie places a good second to the TV show, in my humble opinion. Still, the SATC spirit lives on! ... Continue Reading...
David & Goliath, Havaianas, Zen Zest & a few of my fave things at the moment…
There's been a backlog of blog posts ever since the house move, so I'd just like to give the heads-up to the following products I tried recently: Havaianas.... I Heart! Summer is for flip-flops and I adore the pairs of Havaianas I got recently, especially the one with "Blogger Ajay" spelled out on the straps. The latter is a result of the "Make Your Own Havaianas" event I attended recently in the Rockwell Tent. In the past, I would have shunned a signature brand for my tsinelas (slippers) since it's just tsinelas anyway. But I like how Havaianas lets you ... Continue Reading...
And now, time for some toilet talk…
Man has come a long way since latrines and poo-ing in leaves and newspapers (honestly did this once, while camping!) We now have portalets and a multitude of designs for home bathrooms. I was prepared for some normalcy until I saw the 'his and hers' toilet bowl from TwoDaLoo..... It is described as " the world's first toilet two people can use ... at the exact same time. The TwoDaLoo features two side-by-side toilet seats with a modest privacy wall in between. An upgraded version includes a seven inch LCD television and iPod docking station. " The dual bowl ...

E-jeepneys become legal & get government go-signal, for the cause of climate-friendly cities
Am a car owner who also happens to be a big fan of commuting, specifically using overhead LRT/MRT trains to reach North to South of Manila, and vice versa, in a jiffy. I find jeepneys obtrusive and a nuisance, although I could tolerate the airconditioned ones in Makati and the environment-friendly e-jeepneys, which I have written about in this blog a number of times already. Now comes the latest news from Greenpeace: the transportation department has officially classified e-jeepneys as public vehicles and will now be allowed to operate in major thoroughfares. ...
