Camera bags may be taken for granted by most photographers – including me. Sometimes I don’t see a point in investing in one because they’re either too expensive or too bulky for me to carry around. Sadly, I had to break a DSLR to realize the value of a bag. I won’t explain further it’s [...]

They didn’t call Bacolod the “City of Smiles” for nothing! The Masskara Festival started in the early 80s. That was a time for crisis in the city with a sunken ship and the sugarcane crisis. It was bad times for the people of Bacolod. The artists and the government worked to hold a Festival in [...]
I’ve been loving my HTC ChaCha! I think I was one of the first few people to *own* it because I won it through Smart-HTC launch! It’s an amazing phone and I thought it is priced really high because of the touch screen and the qwerty physical keyboard! But, you can get it at P15,500 [...]
When in Dagupan, you must visit the origins of Plato Wraps! We know that Plato Wraps here in Manila are just food carts, but you should visit the place that started it all.

A fine head of hair adds beauty to a good face, and terror to an ugly one. ~Lycurgus Just borrowed this quote from Lycurgus – an ancient name, a law-giver in Sparta. Even in the old times, they recognize that hair is a big part of your appearance. Hair influences our over-all look. It could [...]

The word “Geek” has transformed over time. Back then it was such an anti-social term. But right now, when you say geek, you think Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg. As a kid, I had this great passion for numbers and science. Yes, you’d call me a geek nerd. I was a bookworm as [...]

A lot of people ask me what to expect when they watch the Singpaore Grand Prix. I often say, “It’s Louder Than Life” The people who go here are not necessarily motorsports enthusiasts but they are people who don’t want to miss out on all the fun that the Grand Prix Season Singapore has to [...]

Don’t we all love boxes?! It’s always such a mystery when you see one! First, you assess if the box is big or small. Then, you hold it… try to shake it and feel it! Then you guess what’s inside. It’s a gift, a surprise – but whatever it is, it exercises our brain to [...]

I took a creative writing class at Modern Academy last month and I couldn’t believe I’m writing stories now! I took a vow to better my writing for my blogging and possibly write more articles for print and other online publications. But guess what, I’ve gained so much more than that! I’ve learned to stretch [...]

My last travel was in Hong Kong last February and I feel like I haven’t traveled in ages. I know, I know I’m a travelholic and a shopaholic. I usually travel at least every two months (locally or internationally) and right now, I’ve been dying to do that. I got excited knowing that PAL is [...]

The best way to gain self-confidence is to do what you are afraid to do. I don’t think I will be where I am now if I didn’t stop to look fear in the face. I used to have stage fright, but I really love dancing and performing and so I had to overcome it. [...]

I love parties and costume parties! Stock Market invited a few bloggers for a 30s night and I gladly breezed through a busy schedule to come in costume. I was so confused, I never lived in the 30s (:P) and I don’t know what’s the fashion at the time so I had to turn to [...]
Hey guys, healthy living need not be booooorrrrriiiing. Two contests for the young — ahem, that’s me —- and the not-so-very-young are ongoing on Facebook.

Ladies, admit it. I know you all feel more powerful now with your different careers and roles in life. I started to feel powerful the moment I graduated college and passed the CPA board exam.

Dear readers, Since I am already in my mid 20s (let’s not be specific), I have been obsessed in staying young! I can feel many changes since I was 18, and mind you, the earlier you start in taking care of your body, the better. I’m talking not only about the food you eat, the [...]
Sleepless nights, uncertainty, lack of purpose, thinking too much about the future… And you don’t even know what’s wrong! Oh yes, the much dreaded quarter-life crisis.
