SEAIR Increases Flights to Caticlan!

Posted: August 25th, 2009 | No Comments »

Two months ago, I went to Boracay with my grandparents and high school bestfriend. We got the chance to try a lot of activities like Snorkling and Reef Walking among others. Thanks to SEAIR for the round trip ticket to Manila and Caticlan.
Guess what? I am going back to Boracay sometime in September! I’ll be going back with some of my blogger friends. We are going there because SEAIR increases flights to Caticlan! Want to learn more? Read on…

Southeast Asian Airlines, the country’s premiere leisure airline, in response to increased demand, will be increasing flights to Caticlan to up to 32 flights per day. SEAIR presently has up to 18 flights a day to Caticlan, then stepping to up to 27 flights a day on August 14, and then to up to 32 flights a day on October 15 and onwards.
This is in line with SEAIR’s mission of helping the […]

Javakula by Seattle’s Best Coffee

Posted: August 25th, 2009 | No Comments »

Seattle’s Best Coffee is one of the first stores that opened along Megastrip in SM Megamall as far as I can recall. I remember hanging out with friends there many years ago when I was still working in Ortigas, Pasig.
That’s why whenever I am in the area, I couldn’t help by reminisce the many times […]

Isdaan, Floating Restaurant in Gerona, Tarlac

Posted: August 24th, 2009 | No Comments »

After the Blogger Surfing event in La union, Sago toured us at Isdaan Floating Restaurant in Gerona, Tarlac.

Entrance of Isdaan.

The floating restaurants.

Small ponds.

Tacsiyapo! FYI: Tacsiyapo is where you place all your anger. You need to buy their breakable plates and even TV to release your anger! TV is worth P2000.

We did not get the chance to ask why there are so many Buddhas around.

Another Buddha.

Carl doing a Buddha pose.

Former President Cory Aquino was there..

And Jaime Cardinal Sin.

Aren’t they lamb? Or goat? I’m not sure what kind of animal is this. Its fur is odd.

A statue of waiter, peeing.

We went there for Photo Op only and failed to taste their seafood recipes. I wish to go back there soon to taste their finest recipes.

First Time in Cebu Day 3: Grand Kembot Day!

Posted: August 24th, 2009 | No Comments »

August 9 is Grand Kembot Day!

Spontaneous – > The perfect adjective to describe my third day in Cebu City with the Kemboteras.
We originally planned of going to Carcar and Talisay that Sunday. ‘Bohol’ also popped out in one of our conversations. With no final decision on how we should spend the next day, we ended up saying ‘Bahala na’ before going to sleep.

As expected, the four of us woke up late =P Thanks to Sinjin for waking us up at our hotel room. We ate our late breakfast while taking turns in using the bathroom. We canceled our out of town plans and decided to just eat lunch at the famous Abuhan Dos, where the famous Pochero is found.

Kemboteras at Abuhan Dos

We were all craving for the Filipino Dish. We ended up ordering the Special Pochero and Sizzling Pochero. The Patay Gutom in us were unleashed at that very moment […]

La Union Aug Long Weekend – Day 2

Posted: August 23rd, 2009 | No Comments »

La La La…
Potong Stim! (Malay expression) There still got no waves!  Actually, here were still some baby ones by afternoon and I still tried to ride it… ALONE!!!  And I got a wave, paddled, popped up, rode the board… ON MY OWN!  Without TULAK!!!  This is an achievement for me surf-wise and by this event I am just happy!
I had brunch at Surf Camp (quite expensive) but I was so tamad to go to Patubos because it was extremely hot and humid.  We then, swam, snorkeled and surfed and had dinner at Urbiztondo Grill.  At night, we just watched North Shore on my pc… Then Lush Angel had one funny blooper lol.  Then we slept… So tired!

Cafe Xocolat: A place for Chocolate Lovers like Me

Posted: August 23rd, 2009 | No Comments »

I have always considered Cafe Xocolat in Loyola Heights as a very cozy place to hangout. It’s a Wifi hotspot, and it is always nice to indulge in reasonably-priced quality chocolate products….

Yahoo! Philippines Hires New Country Manager

Posted: August 22nd, 2009 | No Comments »

Word is that Yahoo! Philippines will announce Monday that they had hired Jack Madrid as its new Country Manager.
According to his Linkedin Profile, Jack’s had two decades worth of experience in BPO, media, banking and venture capital. A graduate of Wharton, he specializes in call center management, strategic planning, media & marketing and commercial banking. Prior to his new gig, Jack was senior executive for Dell International Services, a contact center in the Mall of Asia. His impressive work portfolio also includes MTV, Ayala Corporation and Citibank.
Yahoo! Philippines has taken great strides in boosting its brand awareness locally, most recently through the Yahoo! Purple Hunt, which took participants all Metro Manila to find “clues” to win prizes. I surmise that Mr. Madrid’s hiring is in lieu of something bigger. What it might be, I have no clue. Yahoo! does have a General Manager for […]

First Time in Cebu Day 2: Edge Coaster, The Cousin and Kembot with CBS

Posted: August 22nd, 2009 | No Comments »

August 8, 2009 – The night Patay Gutom was proclaimed as one of the Emerging Influential Blogs of 2009. Too bad I wasn’t able to attend the event because I was in Cebu City.

Looking at Cebu City – Queen of the South

So how was my second day in Cebu? Well, I slept the whole morning. The Kemboteras namely Eric, Aaron and Shena arrived in the Hotel that morning and went straight to CnT Lechon. I, on the other hand had different plans. We will be riding the popular Edge Coaster, meet up with a cousin whom I never met before and dinner with the Cebu Bloggers Society at Larsian’s Barbeque.

McBilly, Angelo and I met up at Crown Regency Plaza for the Edge Coaster ride. Though the entrance fee is expensive, I still pushed through with the plan. I guess watching the Trip na Trip Edge Coaster episode at one of […]

First Time in Cebu Day 1: Hanging Out with the Boys

Posted: August 21st, 2009 | No Comments »

August 7, 2009 is a day of many firsts- my first Cebu Pacific Air ride, first time to meet Cebu-based friends and relatives and first time in Cebu!

Nico, Bong and Mica at NAIA Terminal 3

Bong and I together with his friend Nico met up at NAIA terminal 3. They arrived way earlier that’s why I was seated far away from them T_T. Thank God we reached Mactan Airport on time. I was happy to see an anonymous driver waiting for me. A relative of mine which I haven’t met asked his driver to bring me to a friend’s house. I ate my brunch before sleeping for a few hours.

I met up with McBilly, Angelo and Van at Ayala Cafe Terraces. We had no itinerary or whatever, but we managed to go to Waterfront for Camwhoring (since I wanted to take at least 200 pictures for Day 1 LOL), The Walk, […]

La Union Aug Long Weekend – Day 1

Posted: August 21st, 2009 | No Comments »

Disappointing Loser waves today…
At least there are some baby waves towards the late afternoon so I better not complain before the waves completely turn their back on me.
We are staying at San Juan Surf Camp now.  We are like 20 people plus DKS friends and their friends (6).  They are staying in Sebay though because Surf Camp is full-booked the weekend.
It’s the first time that I am here in Friday.  Friday is actually the “Green Zinc” project clean-up day where the locals clean the shores from seaweed and unwanted trash just to keep and preserve the La Union shore.
There’s nothing more sexier than seeing Luke Landrigan raking those seaweeds out of the shore!  **Faints**  You gals should be here on Fridays lol.
Playing on the Surf Camp music now is “Somewhere over the Rainbow” in Ukelele… It’s a lovely tune, relaxing and chillin ^_^
Absolutely amazing sunset at La Union today… but […]

Surfing Lesson with Stoked Inc. Surfing Team

Posted: August 21st, 2009 | No Comments »

Looking at surfers, you might thought that surfing is not easy. But with Billabong Surf School and Stoked Inc. Team headed by May 2009 Men’s Health magazine cover Luke Landrigan, surfing made easy!
First step, is paddling. Paddle like a dog.

Luke Landrigan telling us not to look at the board while standing!

During the preparation to stand, don’t put too much weight on one side of your foot. You have to keep balance while preparing to stand!
Tried standing balancing with my arms. Effective!

Mica can’t stand!

Watched Disney’s UP in full 3D

Posted: August 20th, 2009 | No Comments »

I watched Disney’s UP in 3D Digital last night at Greenbelt 3. This is the second full 3D Digital movie I watched, Ice Age 3 3D being the first.
Just yesterday, August 20, Ayala Cinemas ran their second installation of 3D Digital theater at Greenbelt 3 Cinema 1 with Disney’s UP as it’s first 3D movie. […]
