There are so many tv reality singing shows these days. And with the bar being set high by previous successful franchises like the idol, it's reality difficult to make a dent and leave a strong impression on the discriminating global audience. But when I saw the latest reality singing …
Filipinos are amazing. Somewhat similar to the Brits I guess, we are in disarray during peace time but we are amazing and united during war. What happened today in Rizal Sports Complex was war. Team Philippine AZKALS ranked by FIFA as 160th team in the world played again the mighty Kuwait…
I am very sad we will not be able to watch the AZKALS vs. Kuwait match live today in Rizal Sports Complex like we did last time against Sri Lanka. Night shift work doesn't allow me from going away but I heard they will be broadcasting it live on Studio 23 so we can still catch up on …
I know right, I lashed at Nikon last time because I feel that they are indifferent towards their users in the Philippines. I still stand by my opinion. But what can I do? I love the Nikon system and no matter how I try to hate it, I can't. How can you hate something which gives you a …

You know kids--we love them, we hate them. Depending on who's kid we are talking about and what age group you are at. When it comes to photography, it's the same story. This is because children are probably one of the most tricky subjects to do photography with. They could be comp…
As a blogger, being connected is everything. But since I have my fixed internet line which goes with my landline, I really can';t afford to subscribe to a mobile service plan where I get charged on a monthly basis. Mabigat na masyado. But the delimma is, when I go out, and attend blog…
The time I decided to come out and meet fellow bloggers last year was with personal-humor bloggers. A life changing moment for me. I have stopped myself from engaging in eyeballs (eb) in the past for many reasons. After the first meeting in summer of 2010, I never stopped. To see the peop…
This is the DARK HORSE among the attraction one can find in Puerto Princesa, the FIREFLY WATCHING in Iwahig river. It's another activity I missed the first time, actually another unheard of in my case. I guess many tourists also miss this spot as it is a tour package separate from the…
Another thing unheard of in my case. I never thought there is a Vietnamese community in Puerto Princesa. Or maybe somebody did mention it before but I was not paying attention. And it's really fascinating to know that during the Vietnam war, many Vietnamese refugees or boat people as…
I have decided to go back to my Puerto Princesa Series as there are still a lot of tourists attractions there worth mentioning. One of which is a historical landmark located at the west tip of city downtown. One could not miss this place because its located just beside Immaculate Conce…

I started travelling in 2008 in the beautiful island of Boracay and life has never been as exciting since then. Traveling is an addictive endeavor but is always rewarding. You learn a lot of things and you feel how good life is. My dilemma before was how to sustain it. I am no rich man …
Cinema in the Philippines might not be as vibrant as that of our Asian neighbors like Hongkong, South Korea, India and even Thailand but there are still pockets for celebration. I am glad Star Cinema is leading the way but it focuses on generic and safe topics for the purpose of revenue. …
It's like de javu all over again. When I was working in an online-english company in Ortigas a few years ago, our boss usually gives us packs of iWHITE products on top of our Christmas bonus. That's why I have grown familiar with the brand and somewhat learned to like it. I know …
I really don't understand why I get invited in food events. I am the worse person/blogger you can find on this topic. I'm a picky eater, I suck at cooking and I find it hard to remember the name of dishes.This is another good thing about blogging then.It's educational and libe…

Its summer box office season again. Though I don't usually write movie reviews in my blog coz I suck on it, I am a certified BIG SCREEN addict. I always believe that movies should be enjoyed in the big screen and not in front of an electronic box. After all, it's a social experien…
and BAD HAIR DAY? That's what me and my wife exactly felt last weekend. The stresses of work is not just reflecting on our skin but on our hair as well. Especially for my wife since her hair is not naturally straight so it really takes a lot more effort on her part. She would alway…
CHEUNG CHAU is a small island 10 km southwest of Hong Kong island. It is nicknamed as the 'dumbbell island' because of its shape. This is where we stayed during our trip in Hong Kong last February. It was Chinese New year and it was very difficult to look for cheap holiday deal…
Last month, I blogged about the 16th French Film Festival Manila. This July is Japan's turn--EIGA SAI: the 2011 Japanese Film Festival which in case you haven't noticed has already started last Friday, July 1 at Shang Cineplex Cinema 4 and will run until July 10. This is in Celebr…
The afternoon downpour in Manila didn't dampen the spirits of team Azkals nor did it lower the energy of 13,000 people who filled Rizal Memorial stadium yesterday. It was round 1, second Leg of the Preliminary Competition Asian Zone match between Philippines and Sri-Lanka for the 201…
