Through the eyes of a child, the world is their playground:  a simple cardboard box can be  a fortress for taguan; touching Mom’s favorite chair makes him “safe” from the “aliens” out to catch him; Ate’s favorite scarf is a … Continue reading →

Fine Dine at Casa Ysabel – Caffé Ysabel

Posted: February 28th, 2013 | No Comments »

Guest post by: Celeste Mendoza
It was seven in the evening when we went to Casa Ysabel. It is located at the heart of Lipa City, Batangas and is just meters away from our home. Just when you see the vintage façade, you’ll be mesmerized by its beautifully structured interiors inspired by the Spanish era, giving you a feel of the walls of Intramuros.

Amenities are tremendous from the antique bench, to the huge and picturesque chandelier and to the restaurant called “Caffé Ysabel Coffee & Deli” where we have dined. A feel-good ambiance enwrapped us as we eat in the said restaurant/café. The songs in their playlist fit the calmness of the milieu. The attendants were very accommodating, serving us the food conveniently. Comfort and affordable food were offered as seen on their/the menu.
Aiming to fill our empty stomach, we have ordered the following:

Sizzling Sisig with egg (P139)

Chicken Pesto Pasta (P200)

Classic […]

Is it Really 4X More Faster?

Posted: February 28th, 2013 | No Comments »

When I heard the Smart Bro pocket WiFi was on sale at P2,995 I instantly grabbed it.  I got the prepaid one which fits my budget and my pattern of WiFi usage.  Basically, I need connection with me all the time – like ALL THE TIME!  It’s for work, for my blog and for getting tasks done.
I actually live somewhere in Manila – that is not near the busy districts.  With that said, in my location there is no LTE coverage (yet, as Smart LTE coverage is expanding).  It’s kind of a place where I wouldn’t usually get the best 3G signal.
But I’ve been using this Pocket WiFi for 2 months now, and it has been consistently giving me at least 1mbps internet.  Not bad from my location really!

Eek! I think I got excited and took a screenshot before the upload finishes to get tested.
Anyway, this 2mbps I get usually […]

Portable Charger: Inboosta Travel Booster Travel Essentials

Posted: February 28th, 2013 | No Comments »

Life as a traveler can be pretty demanding espacially if you were the one planning the trip for the group or you brought work with you.  It’s a fact of my blogger life that I can’t live without my gadgets.
My smartphone has been of great use.  The numerous apps I can download from the App store is overwhelming and I put it to good use.  When I travel, I need maps, compass, trip organizer, games for when I’m bored etc.
The demand for extra power has been increasing.  These smartphones require more energy and power than dumb phones.  (Forgive the term, it’s just to give contrast).
So, with that said, I can never be afraid of losing access to instagram and documenting my journeys when I have a back-up charger with me.  There are a lot of different kinds and types of mobile / portable travel chargers that you can choose from, […]

Women’s Armor

Posted: February 27th, 2013 | No Comments »

To women, nice clothes are like armor.
 
One strand of hair can determine her outlook for the day.  If she doesn’t have confidence in her appearance, she should try to become beautiful.  If she has confidence in herself, then she’ll be able to be courageous.  
 
As she does, she’ll begin to understand what sort of face she wants to present to the world as an adult.
 
But until then, she’ll worry and get more and more lost…
 

This girl, Sunako Nakahara gave up on all beautiful things.
 

Some things I grabbed from watching this Japanese live action series Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge.  It started out with an anime version and then they made a live action series of it.  It’s one of the best comedy / dramas I’ve ever seen in my life.  This and Hello, My Sweetheart from Taiwan.
They say, Japanese people are conservative.  That they just don’t show their feelings and that […]
