Sjora by Nestlé in Chowking

Posted: May 26th, 2009 | No Comments »

If ever you find yourself dining in Chowking, then I’d recommend that you try Sjora. Simply pronounced as sah-jo-rah, this is a peach and mango fusion drink made creamy with milk.

Waking up in Tagaytay

Posted: May 25th, 2009 | No Comments »

Pictures say more than words… I had my Nikon D40 with 18-55mm kit lens once again with me.  Inexpensive equipment costing PHP 20,000 with body, kit and bag.  I added some little bucks for the UV filter and the Circular Polarizer filter.  That’s all I have, plus my imagination and vision!  With this, I am just making the most out of my humble gears.  This Tagaytay trip was not planned much.. It was half-impromptu.  And all we did is take some photos.  Enjoy!

It’s a bliss… Summer’s up and at least in Tagaytay you get to feel cool breeze at night.
 

Lovely pictures of flowers everywhere

Really lovely sky when I woke up…  The clouds were well-formed… They skies are blue…. Perfect!
 

We stayed dined at Andanita Taj of Tagaytay again.
 

I love this shot!  It looked like a force field or some signal or [...]

Watch out for Cinemalaya Cinco!

Posted: May 25th, 2009 | No Comments »

Last Thursday, I was fortunate enough to be chosen as one of the five bloggers to cover the Cinemalaya 2009 press conference. I am seriously a big fan of Filipino Independent Movies and I am a supporter of these films which i believe must be patronized by the public as most of these works are based on the “real” side of the Philippines and its people. Some of my favorite Cinemalaya films are Endo and 100.
