Free Cellphone Charging in Cabs

2010-02-21T22:58:00.001+08:00

It was this Sunday afternoon when we took a cab at SM Cubao going to Anonas when I saw something I never thought I'll see inside a cab - an electric socket.

Even before Joseph and I became a couple, he has been very vocal of his interest of having a relationship with me that is leading to marriage.

Our country has been a favorite tourist destination of foreigners and one particular race intrigues me - the Koreans. They are really fond of visiting other places even if they are travelling alone. They have the gutts to soar to adventure with so little (or nothing at all) understanding of english.Inspired by the daring courage of Koreans, I set to do my own backpacking (backpacking - budget
