It's El Niño here in the Philippines. Infrequent watering of crops might not be enough. The plants also need deeper soil for longer water retention.

It's just a mall with water in the middle right? Yes. And definitely is one of the picturesque malls in the Philippines. To go there by commute, just ride a minibus passing-by Gate 3 - beside Market Market mall or Infront of Guadalupe mall / commercial center. Tell the driver / conductor you're going to Venice.

Are you a croissant fan?You can find one of the cheapest croissants in Uptown Mall at BGC. Just look for The Baker's Selection stall at the mall's lower ground level. As of writing, three pieces is pegged at P62.00. What more?They serve rice meals and affordable viands too. :)

Avocado is a favorite food for many. People eat the fruit for its yummy flavor or for its nutritional food benefits. I eat avocado for both reasons. :) Simple Snack Recipe I usually eat avocado together with sugar. Honey can substitute for sugar which can make it more healthful. Now, to make it creamy and more delicious just add two tablespoons of powdered milk for each regular-sized avocado.

This one-of-a-kind chili ice cream is creamy and cold but is at the same hot. :) Nevertheless, it's delicious! Try it at Colonial Grill restaurant found in Legaspi City.

On this picture is the seaport of Legaspi near Embarcadero de Legaspi mall. It's clean. Did not have enough time to wait for Mt. Mayon's top to be uncovered by clouds this morning. The heat of the sun can already be felt. I'll just stroll here some other time and try biking on an early morning. A bike rental is available at the seaside. That's cool!

Got a new screensaver souvenir for my 'first time' visit at Enchanted Kingdom for the year 2014. It's summer and it was really hot during the weekend I visited the theme park. That's why riding at the Rio Grande Rapids is a must. Luckily this time I did not get wet as much as my friends... who were totally soaked by the splashing waves of water. They were still wet when we went home.

Did not mind the heat of summer, I went to UPLB campus with my bike. Deemax (bike) in front of the Humanities Building of UPLB Biking is fun right at the foot of Mt. Makiling. That is where the University of Los Banos is. :) UPLB Oblation Statue You can freely bike inside the campus too. UPLB Main Library Just don't forget to wear a bike helmet so the U.P. Police will not

A lucky day for me I guess. Went to SM Megamall to unwind. Who'd have thought that there's a bag & shoes sale today. Got a new pair of World Balance shoes at very low price for the quality. World Balance Shoe The shoes look tough and were vulcanized on sides. It falls under the category Street Casual Collection of World Balance. But whatever they classify it the design's the one that

A poem written by Max Ehrmann in 1927, Desiderata is a Latin word meaning desired things. Am putting this poem on this blog for easier reading. Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and

Soon playing my guitar again. One Thing by One Direction is just the right song to play as it has chords that I am already familiar with. Based from the tutorial by Emil Remo, I put here the guitar chords of One Thing: INTRO D  A    D //  ///    // VERSE 1 D           A            D //

Hummer Top-side view Just bought my hummer from Smart tower. It was based on the 2008 model of the Hummer sports utility vehicle. This is my dream car. Or should call it dream truck instead. Hummer side view Just wondering how they manage to put those minute details of the SUV into that small toy.

University of the Philippines Los Baños has got a new beautiful Maria Makiling statue. It was donated by the Sigma Delta Phi Sorority on 31 March 2012. It is located between the popular fertility tree and the College of Veterinary Medicine of UPLB. Maria's statue is positioned in the middle of a fountain. Now, here is the dedication in front of it: Marya Fountain is our tribute to women

Been months since my last visit in Star City. They already uprooted the ferris wheel to give way for a bigger one. Something as big as the one in Enchanted Kingdom I think. Star City has setup beautiful statues. One of them is the one at the Blizzard roller coaster. The mammoth and other cold-place-dwelling animals created a different ambiance even with limited space. Another great

Sitting on the white plate are two fruits packed with Vitamin C. In the picture is the most delicious orange variety I've ever tasted... so far. And I observed the darker color is always sweeter.  Compared to other common oranges, they have firmer peeling, more tasteful and better aroma. Worth the price I would say.

Haven't entered Mary Grace Cafe before. Climbing upstairs reveals a home's ambiance in the line of cocktail drink and restaurant shops in Greenbelt 3. The cafe is known for the Ensaymadas they serve and it is really delicious. I also tried their chocolate drink and was satisfied with its thick texture and tasteful flavor.
