Kapeng Barako Coffee Shop in Batangas City

Posted: May 12th, 2012 | No Comments »

During my last Visita Iglesia in Batangas, I came upon this simple but cozy coffee shop just across the Immaculada Concepcion Minor Basilica in Batangas City. This coffee shop is called, Kapeng Barako Coffee Shop. It was a really hot day and this place called upon me as I went out the church. I was […]

The Aristocrat Restaurant: Iced Tea, Chicken Barbecue and More

Posted: May 8th, 2012 | No Comments »

One common question that friends ask me, because they know about this blog, is where the best iced tea in the city is. My honest answer is that I don’t know which one is the best, but I do know what my favorites are – and one of them is the iced tea at The […]

Golden Pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus)

Posted: May 6th, 2012 | No Comments »

  Another bird I had the pleasure of encountering was the Golden Pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus) or also known as the Chinese Pheasant. Back when I was a kid I knew that the pheasant is a game bird and is also a poultry bird. This meant to me that the pheasant was a bird meant for […]

The Niche I Try to Avoid

Posted: May 6th, 2012 | No Comments »

When the burst of Photography fad came in, I could almost always see a person carrying a DSLR around their neck wherver I go. Be it the mall, the streets, public transportation, parks, homes, and even in the church, PEOPLE have them. Apart from the physical aspect of photography being a more visible hobby, I […]

It’s 10:40PM and I am seated at the top bunk of a dorm room with my travel buddies waiting for the time when I will officially turn 25. Yikes. I am about to turn a year older and to be honest, I am just thankful with all the blessings. I want to write a very […]

Empanada MAS: Premium Coffee and More

Posted: May 4th, 2012 | No Comments »

I’m a metro south citizen, and I consider Muntinlupa, Paranaque and Las Pinas – my backyard. And with two branches in my area, Empanada MAS is a familiar face already. In fact, they’re one of my go-to places whenever I need a quick bite. The branch that I frequent often is the one inside Makati […]

Dance With My Father

Posted: May 3rd, 2012 | No Comments »

Some girls turn sentimental whenever they hear this classic hit from Luther Vandross. To be honest, I only know the title of this song. I never bothered to read the lyrics nor look for the song on YouTube or any other music site. Until that awkward moment came along. In one of my recent trips, […]

Withdraw Google Adsense Payment via Robinsons Bank ATM Card

I have been receiving Google Adsense payouts monthly and I opted to cash out using Western Union.  I’ve been doing this for 4 years and I’ve been waiting for a more convenient way to cash out my earnings.
Here’s one I just recently discovered.
Here in The Fort BGC, the only Western Union closest to my work area is the one by Robinson’s bank near Burgos Circle.  It’s the bank beside Starbucks.
 
Since I worked in BGC, I’ve been encashing my Western Union payouts through Robinsons Bank.  Then they offered me this new product they have, the Robinsons Bank TXT Remit.
 

 
Robinsons Bank TXT Remit
This applies for every Western Union Remittance.  So if you receive a remittance, regularly (monthly, weekly etc) then this card is perfect for you.
You don’t need to go out and […]

Blogging from WordPress app! Using my HTC Cha Cha. 
Sometimes I have thoughts I want to put in writing and this is one of them.  I’m a bit sick as of the moment and can’t get out of bed… But I can still hold my phone and blog. Yaye!
Anyway, I just realized something.  People are dependent on each other, no man is an island.  But one thing I always try to pursue is to be independent of all my needs from other people.  Meaning, to stand alone… Have buffers, plan A and plan Bs… Not needing help as much as possible.  Nobody can achieve that state, definitely… But as much as I can, I try to be.
One thing I can’t stand though is being disconnected from people.  Talking to myself! It’s […]

I’ve got a flair for sports I believe it’s a fun way of keeping fit.  Who says sporty can’t be fashionable?

Check out this video

The 1970s was well-known for numerous signature looks such as bell-bottoms, psychedelic prints, etc.  However, what most apparel-historian-enthusiasts fail to mention is that there was one iconic brand that was preferred by most celebrities, royalty and sports personalities, Ellesse.   This iconic brand used to be patronized by the likes of former 007 Roger Moore, boxing legend Muhammad Ali, tennis greats, Boris Becker and Chris Evert.  Even the late Princess Diana wore Ellesse when she skied down the European alpine slopes.  No wonder this brand is no stranger to most who are now in the late 30s to 50s.  

Fast-forward 2012.

What I love about Urbanears is they go with different colors.  Pink isn’t really my favorite color.  Pink is okay.  But I’ve established *pink* to be my blog’s color, my blog’s brand…

Fashion, comfort and music quality
The Tanto is constructed for maximum mobility without the compromise of performance, adorned with a sleek and minimalistic look. It is designed thinking you want the full sound experience in a lightweight and portable headphone made for everyday use to be taken along wherever you go, like a good friend.

If lightweight headphones are your thing, this is definitely for you.
I personally prefer light and thin headphones than the bigger ones… coz sometimes bigger ones are uncomfortable for me.
But it all depends on your preference
