Star City

2012-11-27T05:59:00.000-08:00

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

Oranges on a Plate

2012-09-19T10:55:00.003-07:00

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.

Mary Grace Cafe

2012-09-13T10:18:00.002-07:00

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.

John Carlo Tan in Makati Square

2012-09-02T00:06:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture with plain background that emphasizes the subject. It's John Carlo Tan. Haha I had to chase him with the camera as he hurries to get to his seat. He joined the Makati Square Got Talent contest and belted Beyonce's Listen. Maybe he will win when the proper time for him arrives. You may have seen him in the recent ABS-CBN's Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK) 'Tinapay' episode with

Alapad Rock Formations - Batanes

2012-08-03T21:58:00.000-07:00

Who can forget these majestic rock formations in Alapad, Batanes. Looking closely at the shore reveals colorful fishes swimming and feeding beside live corals in the crystal-clear water of the sea. It's been years since I first went to Batanes and a voice always screams in mind: "I want to be there again!"

Shangri-La Beach in Cebu

2012-08-02T10:25:00.000-07:00

Shangri-La Beach Swimming in Shangri-La Cebu is fun. Aside from their number of pools, you get a beach wide enough for you to explore around. Speedboat Their hotel accomodation has a package where you can just sign-up and borrow some of their non-motorized swimming gears like towels, snorkel, beach shoes and kayak. Shangri-La Beach Shore Shangri-La Mactan Resort and Spa is

Saw these cute utensils when friends and I went to eat dinner at Penpen's. Cute Spoon and Fork Handle Penpen's can be found at Cubao Expo Exit far behind Gateway Mall.

SM Mall of Asia Arena

2012-07-16T08:27:00.000-07:00

Front View of SM MOA Arena SM MOA Arena has finally opened on June 16, 2011. I was there of course to watch the Icons concert in this big coliseum. The Arena officially opened weeks after Lady Gaga had a concert in it and weeks before Nicki Minaj had hers. A good vibe that more internationally known artists will perform there in the future. The Pinoy Music Icons singing the Last Song

Father and Son

2012-06-15T20:49:00.001-07:00

Something inside tells me to post this pic and I realized maybe because of Fathers Day celebration. In this candid photo, Kuya Rico looks and smiles as he holds Joaquin and the cute baby stares at him in return. Kuya Rico is a father and Joaquin is a son but they are not related by blood. Kuya Rico is just carrying a friend's son during a wedding reception at Boston Cafe, Los Baños, Laguna.

Here's Pocholo Bismonte and friends. Was with them after Pocholo's recital at the De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde in Taft for the first's summer workshop.

It showcased talents of both

Gary V's On Higher Ground Concert

2012-06-14T10:12:00.000-07:00

After a series of successful On Higher Ground concerts this year, Gary Valenciano had a repeat of the concert on June 8 and 9. Luckily I was able to watch at its last date. The stage production was very colorful. And what's amazing was they also planned this monochromatic scene with Gary jut wearing pure white. Gary had a duet with Julianne, also a singer and composer. They sang

Rizal Park on Independence Day

2012-06-14T04:51:00.000-07:00

Blue color, the color in the Phillippine flag that means peace, dominates in the photo of the Luneta Park (Rizal Park). Took it during the dusk of the 114th Anniversary of Phillipine Independence. Not seen in the picture are the people flocking in front of the park making it as their background on their souvenir photos. The flag below is the biggest Philippine flag in the park

Arrived at Star City while they we're being photographed outside. John Carlo Tan (JC) and other Jollibee Kiddie Club dancers prepare as they perform (dancing and modeling) for the Family Fun Day at Star City on May 27. John Carlo also got a solo performance to sing Faithfully by Journey band. Still too early for the regular opening of the theme park, I got the perfect timing to

Simba the Pomeranian

2012-05-31T17:37:00.000-07:00

My office mate brought his brown pomeranian at the second time. Seems like Simba has grown twice its size since I first saw it. The dog acts more mature now but still, energetic and playful even when it just woke up. It knows the sit and jump command. For fetch it works sometimes but Simba won't return whatever you want him to fetch. :)

These child stars of ABS-CBN are definitely good actors. Andre Garcia & Angel Sy are just playing around then posed in front of the camera while waiting for their next scene shooting of Goin' Bulilit. Their tandem makes a perfect loveteam right? :)

Philippine Tarsier in Bohol

2012-01-27T07:51:00.000-08:00

Yup, it's a tarsier. Got the photos when I visited Bohol somewhere in Visayas, Philippines. Tarsiers are nocturnal but I'm wondering why this one's awake during the afternoon I saw it at the park. Maybe it was awakened by the noisy visitors trying to have a peek on the tiny primates.
