Posted: March 12th, 2013 | No Comments »

Where are you staying for Holy Week?  If you’re staying just within Metro Manila, then you would be interested in what malls open or what time the lrt and mrt operates during holy week.
I feel bad because I don’t have any plans for Holy Week yet… anyway, I don’t see any announcement yet on mall’s schedule during the Holy Week or mrt and lrt schedules but here’s what I think would happen based on last year’s Holy Week.

Crumpler House of Horror – Gadget Bag Backpack

Posted: March 12th, 2013 | No Comments »

There are a lot of fashionable bags in the market with great design and of different sizes and shapes.  But finding a stylish bag that’s comfortable to carry your brick-like laptop is quite difficult to find.

Most often than not, I get rashes from straps that aren’t designed to equalize the weight distribution properly, harming my skin, sometimes leaving a scar for a while.

For a person who also has scoliosis, doctors would normally suggest backpacks instead of totes or shoulderbags.  All these benefits and things I need for my back are in House of Horror.

Like most Crumpler bags, this bag is guaranteed for life.  That’s an investment you need to make to protect your gadgets especially my expensive MacBook and iPad.  You can’t match those gears with a cheap and gruntled design that’s easy to break!

The House of Horror has 5 pockets: Quick access front zippered pocket, concealed  top opening zippered […]

Crumpler Flock of Horror – Your Everyday Gadget Bag

Posted: March 10th, 2013 | No Comments »

Crumpler has been really creative in their bag designs and their naming system. For the name “Flock of Horror” for a bag, you’d think it’s a scary, haunted, crazy bag – my imagination just runs wild but simply, it’s a house for your everyday gadgets!
I don’t know how many percent of the population in Manila comprises of office people but this bag is surely for them and for the daily commuters as well.  

 
Design
The design is unique with its flip top cover.  Secure enough to seal the zipper.  I think it will do a good job fooling thieves don’t you think?  Although, you’d think this bag is small – but it can actually fit a 15-inch laptop!

You can carry it like a tote, backpack-like or a sling bag.
 

 
Storage Zones
One thing I love about Crumpler bags is that they have a lot of pockets and separate room for your things, making […]

The Circle Hostel – Budget Surf Trip in Zambales

Posted: March 9th, 2013 | No Comments »

 
My name is Hannah Villasis, and I am addicted to surfing.  Check all of my surfing blog posts here.
There was a time when I would surf every week for 3 months.  All my savings went to surf trips.  It was a whole lot of fun… I WAS BROKE haha!  I do sound like a legit addict.  I got busy though and I had to forego surfing to earn real bucks travel and stuff.
The sea has been calling me lately.  I do think that I’m a mermaid or a gypsy in my past life.  I just love to travel and I love the ocean especially.
You know what, I just realized that I don’t have to spend so much on surfing anymore.  I can just drive 3 hours to Zambales, stay at a cheap hostel that fits my budget and worry about nothing else – just fun, surf, swim oh and a […]
