I’m sort of a fan of the Film Festivals being shown annually at Shang Cineplex in Shaw. My favorite being Eiga Sai, which shows really cool movies from Japan. But I’ve noticed that we actually lack something that showcases the best from all over Asia. Good thing I found out about the Asian Film Festival, organized by Asia Society Philippine Foundation Inc., which will start this week from May 17 to 21. Continue reading
I just came back from a fun weekend exploring the islands and highlands of Davao City and had a blast getting fatter and darker for four straight days. Of course it wouldn’t be a complete vacation unless I force my friends to take countless photos of me. Haha! But seriously, it’s a blessing to have a lot of great photographer friends who’s willing to put up with me. Here’s a look on what I wore for the trip. Continue reading

I saw their recent summer campaign online when a friend asked me to check them out and review their clothes so I looked at their press photos and was pleasantly intrigued. Continue reading
About a week ago, I was brought to a province somewhere in the Philippines and in one of the restaurants we dined in for lunch, we were given this popular Filipino dessert to end our meal. Served inside a buko, it was the damn best halo-halo I’ve ever tasted. I enjoyed it so much that my travel buddies found humor in me eating 2 servings. Continue reading
I’m not the type of person who’s comfortable enough to purchase products online. For me, shopping is still best done inside malls where I could try out the products first before I decide to buy them or not.
