Ampalaya Shake and Tamarind Shake at BAI YOK Thai Restaurant Tomas Morato

There is one restaurant worth mentioning before I officially start with my Malaysia2.0 series.Discovered it before flying out of the country last week.Together with my wife and a fellow blogger,John of www.kumagcow.com , we set out to sample their food so as to give an honest to goodness…

Globe announces commercial launch of LTE

I know many Globe users have been airing their frustrations over some s glitches on mobile and internet signals but they persevered and stayed---because they know something big is coming.On my behalf,I am sticking my nose on Globe coz I want to stay with the leader in postpaid.And looks…

red carpet premier photos GUNI-GUNI ------now in cinemas!

Been missing out a lot on the local scene lately.Blame it on a couple of errands I had to do plus the seasonal self-preoccupation which is becoming a regular recurrence.There are a couple of movies for example that I wanted to see but I had no time or the will to do so ------Bourne Legacy…

cast of DRUM TAO were on the same Airphilexpress flight with us

Just got back from Malaysia yesterday via Airphilexpress and I was surprised to find out that the cast of Drum Tao (the famous Japanese drum performance group from Japan) were on the same flight with us.They recently concluded their shows in Kuala Lumpur and were headed to Cebu for the fi…

the face of New FERSAL HOTEL Kalayaan

I heard that this hotel is newly renovated,a complete renovation that is.If so,they did a good job coz the building and the rooms look brand new.The face of New Fersal Hotels indeed.I am referring to FERSAL HOTEL Kalayaan. This is where me and my wife stayed overnight after visiting th…

WONDER about how the rooms are at your dream hotels?As a travel blogger, I get to check in to some of the best hotels and accommodations in the country---from budget to high end.And if the finances restricts, I get the privilege to peek inside the rooms by request. The thing is, we get c…

a peek inside FERSAL HOTEL Malakas Quezon City

My first encounter with the Fersal Hotel brand was Annapolis Branch Cubao .I was quite satisfied with the place given the price range and actually wrote about it in my blog.We also stayed in Neptune Makati branch which is more modern and chick. Been working on a project with the Fersa…

ANTONIO'S BIBINGKA + hot choco tablea at #MEGAFOODSALE

I know right.It bears my first name but I have nothing to do with the brand.How I wish it's mine but only in my dreams.hahaha.So for those who are asking,this business is not mine.I am referring to Antonio's Coffee and Bibingka in SM Megamall. Antonio's is a food kiosk loca…

50% Off on Triffle Tea at AKIBA CAFE

I always go to SM Megamall but I hardly notice food kiosks there.That's because I don't usually pay attention.Such my surprise therefore, there are patches of good food finds, if only one would look closely.One good example is AKIBA CAFE at the 2nd floor of bldg.A. We were here …

won an overnight stay at SERI PACIFIC HOTEL, it's Malaysia again!

Is it luck of persistence? I think both.I joined the facebook fanpage contest of Kuala Lumpur City Gallery buy submitting a photo and I was picked! That means an overnight stay at a 5-star Hotel with free breakfast for two worth RM500.Seri Pacific Kuala Lunpur.Yes, exactly two months afte…

WENSHA SPA is my standard for good and clean massage

I think I am making massage and spa houses in Manila rich. I am a regular at some of them, even twice a month at times.But if there's one Spa worth your money, it would be Wensha Spa. Wensha Spa is my standard when it comes to massage.I go here not as a blogger but as a regular cust…

it's MEGA FOOD SALE again!

SM Megamall is my transit point from Binangonan Rizal to Manila.That said,it has been equated to convenience for me and my wife.Once we are in megamall,everything else becomes easy.Welcome to the civilized world they say.And that is just one of the many reasons why I love the place. One …

Pinaputok na Manok sa Dahon at ISDAAN Floating Restaunrant Tarlac

I always pass by Gerona Tarlac and I have noticed Isdaan a long time ago.But buses bound to Pangasinan don't stop over the area so I wasn't aware of what Isdaan was all about.I thought it was some sort of an amusement park since there are gigantic statues of animals on the entranc…

Bum Equipment HOODIE BAG brings out the #teenager in me

I hate Bum Equipment for making me feel this way.I felt like a #teenager again.Blame it on this Hoodie Bag they gave me.They sure know the taste of the hip youth market and those like me who pretend to be young.On second thought,I think I love it.You can still be chick and colorful eve…

MARRY ME AT MARRIOTT: A Grand Wedding Fair

June is the wedding month in the Philippines.Anybody who knows why?I haven't really given much though about it why its the most popular month to be married but I reckon that it's because June is the start of the rainy season------the perfect time to cuddle.Honeymoons are more inti…

The 23rd PHILIPPINE TRAVEL MART opens today!

How is travel year 2012 to you so far?I told myself that this year is going to be for "saving up" but looks like I will not be able to keep that.What can we do,there's so much joy and rewards in traveling. If in case you haven't kicked with your travel this 2012,I h…

The 95-year old rare Jelutung (Dyera Costulata) tree near KL Tower

I think this deserves a separate entry. I decided to have a quick snack before climbing the observation deck of KL TOWER so I went to the balcony at the base of the complex. I noticed this giant tree so I came closer to have a look. This is what the marker says---- "This rar…

KL TOWER (Menara Tower) Observation Deck View + XD Theater Combo

"To see the world in another perspective" that's one of the reasons why I want to keep traveling that would sometimes means taking a different angle--literally. This was my last significant stop on the hop-on,hop-off bus, #2 on the route---KL TOWER otherwise known as Meda…

Kuala Lumpur HOP-ON,HOP-OFF BUS: route,ticket prices & operation hours

"So many things to see,so little time" --we always hear that ayt?And I always say that too.We simply wanna see and experience more.KL is no exemption.So the question is,what is the fastest way to go around KL?By taxi of course.Fast and convenient.But not without a price. So i…

NATIONAL MOSQUE (Masjid Negara) Kuala Lumpur

I heard that the best and cheapest way to go around key attractions in Kuala Lumpur is via Hop-on Hop-off bus.I found a spot under a tree in Merdeka Square and paused to check my tourist map.The maps are easy to use.You will not miss your destination coz they are marked on the map.But t…

"5-star bed at a 1-star price? "only at TUNE HOTELS

"Sometimes, all you really need from a hotel is a hot shower and a good night's rest. "- --That's what I have always been saying.A comfortable bed is important to me and I am sure to most of us.But this direct quote is not mine, this is the marketing   tagline of TUNE HO…

MERDEKA SQUARE and my visit to Kuala Lumpur City Gallery

I was walking around the grounds of Jamek Mosque when I saw the giant flag pole towering the horizon.It got me curious and ask a fellow tourist.She happens to walk by the mosque from there and it was her who said that it's at the heart of Independence Square.I immediately proceed ther…

JAMEK MOSQUE made me forget Genting Highlands and stay in KL

Left my friends apartment in Bukit Jalil Sunday morning not having any clear plan as to where to go.I wanted to cover as many areas as possible and I have to admit I envied my fellow bloggers for going outside KL and deep into the Malaysian countryside.One even went as far North as Penan…

NASI LEMAK and TEH TARIK Night Out with Mark and Sharits

This is one thing I learned in Malaysia, vices come at a price.Basic commodities are cheap,gas,food,fares,clothes, but those that you don't need are expensive, cigarettes,beer and that kinda stuff.That explains why my title speaks of "night out" but what we had was food trip…
