Take note that this survey is based on Agoda.com’s customer service reviews.  I am a user of Agoda myself and you would know that the user reviews are legit because only the ones who booked, payed and stayed in the hotels can review them therefore, “troll-ing” this survey is highly unlikely.  Most of the users would also be encouraged to write a review because of Agoda’s reward points system (giving 500 points to every customer review).
Makati, Cebu and Boracay properties dominate the Top 12, but […]

Board it Up! Fashionable Magnet Boards

Posted: January 30th, 2013 | No Comments »

I like to really keep it simple, with little fashionable accents that would highlight my personality.
 

 
I just realized I don’t have any picture of my room entirely. Just the one above.

To spice up the white walls, sheets and pearl blinds, I put this magnet board to accent the boring cube I live it

Posted: January 30th, 2013 | No Comments »

Last night, I had dinner with a few other Tech enthusiasts and we also got updated with the latest happenings on Sun Cellular network.

with my former co-worker Alora Guererro and of course, the online guru to health and wellness, YogaJane

Customization is IN
There’s something about customized items that really gets you interested, isn’t it? Customized tailored suits, customized shoes for running and customized phone number!
As far as I can remember, my friend who had his number customized to put 6 “zeros” (09xx-5000-000) cost him about Php 20,000!
Expensive right? But hey, you can do this now with a new Sun Cellular sim card that you can buy at Sun Shops for only P59!
