I covered the first pyromusical event before and blogged about it here.  At that time, I was on the grounds and I received VIP tickets to cover it.
Then just last Sunday, Valerie and Paul invited us to watch the pyromusical on a yacht   It’s the same yacht that has been known recently for [...]

So shiok nia!
- I’ve learned that phrase from my Malaysian friends who taught me a little bit of their language.
 
What is the meaning of Shiok?
Shiok is commonly used in Singapore and Malaysia. The word “shiok” is used to convey a feeling of sheer pleasure and happiness.  It could also mean “Delicious” or “masarap”.”
“shiok is more [...]

Beginning the 10th of March 2007, 7-Eleven Philippines will be giving the entire Filipino nation a voice in the upcoming Presidential elections.  This is through their current program “7-elections”.”
This project was initialized first by the US on their 2000 elections and has run for 3 consecutive national elections.  On that, 7-Eleven partnered with two of [...]

This is my first time attending a sexy magazine’s launch.  Playboy just launched its its Jan/Feb issue at The Lounge with the legendary director Peque Gallaga and their Playmate of the month Amber Dy.
Starting off 2010 is our tribute to Philippine Cinema, featuring iconic director PEQUE GALLAGA front and center as our first male cover [...]

Wilson street in Greenhills area has been one of my favorite stop-over for delicious food.  Once we went to Luna and enjoyed the Filipino-Spanish fusion cuisine there.  Fran, a foodie, recommended us to visit “Everything at Steak” for a very delicious experience at a very affordable price, without the quality of taste being compromised. (Now [...]

Thanks to Winston of batangyagit.com for honoring me VIP tickets to the first ever International Pyromusical Competition held at SM Mall of Asia.  I swear!  The traffic was really bad!  Not only cars, but people!  It’s traffic everywhere… It was Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year at the same time and people were off [...]

You know why I’m travelling around asia… It’s because it’s fun, it’s awesome and best of all I love the food!  I have been in and out of Singapore and I keep coming back because I miss the street food and hawker centers!  Of course, how can I forget the milk tea?
Sometimes, I am just [...]

This is just a preview… more pictures to come!
Happy Heart’s Season and Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Today is just the perfect day for a colorful adventure!  It’s Valentine’s day and Chinese New Year at the same time!  To add up to the flavour,  The last day of the 15th Annual Hot Air Balloon Festival 2010 happens today!
Vince and I packed our gears at around 2am.  We have to thank Sony [...]

 
Last Jan 21, 2010 we found ourselves working at Chili’s Greenhills for a different environment.  We love the free wifi and the yummy food!  It’s a great venue for, among many other things, business meetings.  We were here to meet a possible intern and while waiting, we mucnhed on some goodies.
I usually don’t bring [...]

It has been a crazy sexy cool start for 2010 for me.  When the new year started, I totally committed myself to do better after my life’s “restart.”  I started the year unemployed to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities on my own and focus more on my blogging and online internet marketing.  During the first week of [...]

All I wanted to do was to sit on the beach and relax. It’s been way too long since I had my last vacation. I miss the ocean, the sunset, the sand and the fresh air.
That’s exactly what I needed to do, refresh myself. I needed to refresh my mind, my body and my [...]

To my non-Filipino friends and readers, I will share to you one popular Christmas tradition here in the Philippines. To my Filipino folks, may this remind you of our beautiful festive culture.

It may be the season of gift-giving or Santa Claus but if there’s one thing Filipinos can relate to more than anything, it’s the food.

That’s why during this time of the year, the spotlight is, more than ever, on the kitchen creativity of females who are tasked to concoct sumptuous Noche Buena dishes for the whole family. For most Pinoys, togetherness and merriment during Christmas means bonding over yummy feasts in a roomful of family and friends. Or that was how it used to be until the recent onslaught of typhoons that destroyed homes and took lives of many Filipinos.

One random boring Friday with all the energy still stored up in my body waiting to be released, I asked my good friends for a Banchetto night.
Banchetto is a food market bazaar every Friday night to Saturday morning in Ortigas Emerald Ave.  Banchetto is actually an itallian word for “feast.”  I’m so glad there’s a feast then [...]

I know right!
My grade school and high school life flashed before me! Since I will be out of job soon , I will have more time to do what I love to do best – DANCING! I am born a dancer! and I love music! If you deprive me of [...]

Better Late than Never!
Right?

October 30 2009
My French Friends invited me to this party at A-venue XD… I think it’s the big Big Fish party… Sadly I had to say that I can’t go with them… That’s because I was not prepared for this Halloween and I didn’t have any “skanky” costume!
My French Friend and I [...]

After the Nestle Fitnesse program, we headed to Cava Somerset for the project Headshot.  One of the best things about being a blogger is that you can reach to people and influence them.  And, if you know me, I’m a pro-environment person.  So when we were asked to choose our advocacy, that will be shown [...]

I posted this earlier, because I was not sure if we were allowed to word out the winners…
I received an e-mail from Janette Torral last Monday, November 9, stating that I won the “Best Personal Blog” in the Digital Filipino Web Awards.  I had to read the email at least five times just to make [...]

This is not my first time really. A friend taught me how to ride the basics before but they totally assisted me while I was on the board and I always had a “tukod” before. This night was actually my first time to “ride” it alone! Thanks to Vince of WhenInManila.com for being [...]

The typhoon Ondoy has left us all devastated. Typhoon Peping avoided Manila city proper, but it hit the provinces big time! It brought deadly winds to our Northern provinces. Many lost shelter, clothing and have no means to buy food. All three are basic necessities for one person to live.

What craziness have I done this time? You see, I’m not satisfied with my biggest scandal in the office yet… I need more publicity! It’s actually a part of my things-to-do-before-I-die list…
Like touching and holding a very ferocious crocodile that could bite my whole hand off…

That was the scariest experience of my [...]

Surf Season’s coming!  Usually it’s starting now but lately there’s just no waves on the beaches.  Hopefully by September there would be some swell coming up!  Definitely the months of October to December got really big crazy waves!
Preparing for surf season
1.  Buy Sunblock or Tanning lotion!
It depends whether you want to stay fair or get [...]

La La La…
Potong Stim! (Malay expression) There still got no waves!  Actually, here were still some baby ones by afternoon and I still tried to ride it… ALONE!!!  And I got a wave, paddled, popped up, rode the board… ON MY OWN!  Without TULAK!!!  This is an achievement for me surf-wise and by this event [...]

Disappointing Loser waves today…
At least there are some baby waves towards the late afternoon so I better not complain before the waves completely turn their back on me.
We are staying at San Juan Surf Camp now.  We are like 20 people plus DKS friends and their friends (6).  They are staying in Sebay though because [...]

 I am not really in that level XD
It’s just the first time that I have seen La Union with these big waves and I am such a trying hard beginner!
The forecast at magicseaweed just showed a really gnarly swell in this area and me and my friends really planned this trip despite the risk of [...]

I used my nikon D40 plus 70-300mm…  I need to buy a new body in the next 2 years… meanwhile the manual focus is kind of a hassle… but if I ihave a D90 perhaps I would have the autofocus working for me…  anyway, my manual focus is not bad take a look at the [...]

Dear Goldilocks,
What memories we have had…  I remembered being so young and motivated as I was reviewing for my CPA board exams in CPAR.  I came from the province, Bacolod, and I was a shy girl in a wild world of Manila.
I came in Manila this time to fulfill one of my dreams, and that [...]

Pictures say more than words… I had my Nikon D40 with 18-55mm kit lens once again with me.  Inexpensive equipment costing PHP 20,000 with body, kit and bag.  I added some little bucks for the UV filter and the Circular Polarizer filter.  That’s all I have, plus my imagination and vision!  With this, I am [...]

I am just so amazed to know that she knows so much about her advocacy (i.e., waste segregation). Job well done miss Seifert! You have made us Negrenses proud! She’s oozing the right confidence, the perfect smile and the right brilliant and smart answers!
I don’t really watch beauty pageants. My mom is such a fan [...]

What we plan to do:  Visit Disneyland.  Experience [...]

La Luz official website to view more about La Luz room rates, activities, directions, contacts and more photos of the resort. It was my first time here in this resort in Batangas. We travelled at about 3-4 hours from Manila (probably because of the South Super highway renovations. It was raining while we were there too but it didn’t stop us from having some f-f-f-fun!

Boy – oh –boy…

Do you know where this is?
Does the scenery look familiar?

But you won’t believe your eyes because you think that this is not possible…

This is reality!!!
 
A very very good reality!

Lazy Saturday afternoon and I was undecided what to do for the day.  My default destination when I’m alone and bored at home but itching to go out to connect to the internet without company, is Krispy Kreme.  I orderded the Original Kreme Chiller with coffee, 2 honey glazed donuts and 1 chocolate glazed donut.  [...]

Our only home is leaning towards global warming but it is up to us to make a choice!
For Global Warming? vs Earth!
I vote for earth!  What is your choice?

Most of you might not know that I am a green person.  XD
Green because I am an environmentalist.  Taking care of our world, our home and its [...]

My very first surfing video on my 2nd surf experience ever! I want to make surfing in La Union a hobby already — meaning, going there once a month when the waves permit. Though surfing is a seasonal thing here in the Philippines (Nov – Feb), we might still be lucky in some months once [...]

Documenting here the amazing blogventure that rocked every bloggers’ soul! Reviving those unheated muscles for a competitive race that challenged the physical and mental capabilities of bloggers who were lucky to be invited by Yehey to explore the vast Island Cove at Cavite.
It is candy’s first time in this island resort and she ran, [...]

While we were in Tagaytay, we dropped by Paradizoo. Entrance fee is cheap at around 150-200 PHP and you could get to see many gnarly animals RAWR!

I got an invite to celebrate Valentine’s Day Brazilian style at Rockwell. There will be samba, capoeira, futbol, Brazilian jiu-jitsu workshops and demonstrations, a fashion show, and of course, music by Nyko Maca + Playground, Eileen Sison & Guarana, Aquarela and Brigada!

Drop by rockwell too!!! I will be there experimenting on my DSLR as I [...]

Rockstar Travelers (me and Cisqo) explored some parts of Tagaytay we’ve never been to before. Since he’s going to Greece the following weekend, and I’ll be left behind (sob… sob…) he’s been treating me to Greek restaurants and leading me to Mediterranean experiences!

This was actually a surprise for me. I mean I knew we were [...]

How I knew about Nuffnang??? It’s these people who introduced it to me…  My Malaysian friends through [...]

Ever since I started blogging, I have been crossing virtual bridges with Malaysia. Once I declared myself as a blog ambassadress but I know that all of us bloggers have been installing virtual linkages within our nation and extending the lines to our neighboring countries and to the entire world as well.
These international linkages are [...]

Those who have known me for a long time would vouch for my craziness. They say I’m a dare-devil. Seeking for new things at a rate of speed of light! But cherishing still the old things I love to do.
 
What indulgence did I do this time?
 
Nope, I didn’t pose for FHM or Playboy Philippines…
 
 
 
Nope, I [...]

I have plurked this one time before. I was so bored with the traffic from EDSA. Comming from Commonwealth Q.C. all the way to my office in Fort Bonifacio, it’s either I sleep (you know I dont like sleeping) or pretty much cuddling my MSI Wind on my lap. Just then along EDSA I was [...]
