Last February 15, 2012, Globe Telecom had a Post-Valentine treat for media people and bloggers at Izakaya in Greenbelt. Ladies got to speed date with some Philippine Volcanoes players that night. Globe required us to take a photo with each member and ask them questions, all within 2 minutes. It was dizzying for me because [...]

Last Sunday, I brought my new Shadows Over Camelot board game and got to play with with some Plurkers. Now I’m in love with the game and we decided to get together once a month to play board games. Jovan brought her Carcassonne game. It’s ok by me but I prefer Shadows Over Camelot. Our [...]

Admit it. When you think of plastic surgery, you immediately think of Belo because of their very effective media blitz. But what about other clinics which have affiliations, better services, and more affordable?

I wasn’t afraid of the height, I was more worried if the contraption will support my weight. Well it did and I was able to zipline at ZipCity during the Davao Food Appreciation Tour (DFAT) early this year. It only cost me P250 for the adrenaline rush. It was a gloomy day but it didn’t [...]

The nightmare that is SuperSale

Last November 3, 2011, my iPhone 4 got stolen during the SuperSale bazaar. I’m still upset with how the organizers dealt with the situation. So many thefts happened in all 3 days of the event. When my phone got stolen, there were at least 4 others who were victimized. It’s really a surprise because there [...]

I was very fortunate to have been invited to this year’s S3X Tour (SOCCSKSARGEN Experience Tour).
