Onboard Manila’s Jumbo Kingdom
Jumbo Kingdom There are a number of floating restaurants in Manila but none is as quite posh and lavish as The Jumbo Kingdom which is docked in the CCP Complex, along the Manila Bay . "Ano ba yan, para akong nasa ibang bansa! (Oh my!

The fastfood center is also popular among shoppers and Fil-Chinese denizens for its $1 heaping plates of pancit and equally-cheap chicken cordon bleu rolls. Sharing ... Continue Reading...
Things Happen When You Least Expect It…
1. Bugger! :( I missed my Blog-O-Rama deadline for the first time. It's a mortal sin for any writer and I finally succumbed to the pressure. I wish I could blame my damn new DSL connection for having all these spyware, or the fact that am being smug because am getting all these Xmas bonuses, or because I simply lack the time. I am only being human, and being irresponsible. Period. 2. On the other hand, the reason why I am in a daze and don't have the energy for the past few days is that I just lost $100 - one hundred friggin' dollars - to a ragin' kleptomaniac. ...
