My generation can only reminisce while the newer ones can only imagine. Where has the Shato gone? And the Agawan Base? Long dead with Super NES, perhaps? When I learned that Havaianas (courtesy of All Flip Flops) came up with a venue for a day where eveyone can play Old School favorites like Piko, Patintero, Sipa, Chinese [...]

Mario’s Restaurant: Keeping the Classic Current
First thing that comes to mind when the name “Mario’s Restaurant” is mentioned is either “steak,” “hella old,” and “expensive.” In that order. This may very well explain why I’ve never been to any of their branches until last Saturday. (I’ve eaten in great hotels’ buffet both in and outside the country, dined in Lolo [...]
Blog Action Day 2008: Fire in Manila Slums
This post is published for Blog Action Day 2008.
A huge fire engulfed the homes of hundreds of families in that area beside the Loyola Memorial Chapels, a little past 2AM on July 5, 2008. We were driving down the opposite EDSA lane and headed for Boni when we saw it happen. Something suddenly hit me: [...]
Expensive Oakley Nose Pads are Expensive!
One of the pads from my eye glasses must have fallen off which is actually a good thing since it was only then that I noticed the remaining pad having this nasty-looking yellowish shade instead of the original transparent white. I had these eye glasses for close to three years now (estimated) but them being [...]

Like clockwork, when there are new toys or statuettes in the house, this hard boiled point-and-shooter would spring on his feet, compose the shoot, and snap away. Below are photos I took of the ceramic versions of the cutesy characters from the forth-coming animated movie “Dayo,” a contender for the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival.
First, here’s a backgrounder on [...]

La bohème Set in Modern Manila
Instead of going to Bloggers’ Poker Night with the chance of beating Bim at the jackpot, I sort of worked some and then headed to the CCP to experience La bohème. I’m going to come clean this early on in the article by admitting that whenever I hear an aria being played anywhere, my eyeballs [...]
Up Close with Chicane in MNL 09.27.08
I won’t be posting some redundant video footage taken from the concert where Chicane, an electronica dance act, is performing onstage because I bet there are already lotsa those by now on YouTube. In 3gp format! Sheesh! Anyway, when I was asked if I wanted to make a vlog out of Chicane’s presscon, I instantly [...]
