Sosy Problems – Understanding the Super Duper Upper Class

Posted: December 27th, 2012 | No Comments »

Last night, Hannah and I met up to watch ‘Sosy Problems‘, GMA Films’ official entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival. It stars my favorite Kapuso stars namely Heart Evangelista, Solenn Heussaff, Bianca King and Rhian Ramos under the direction of Andoy Ranay.   Honestly, I am not expecting Sosy Problems to be in the […]

Sosy Problems Quotable Quotes from Rhian, Heart, Solenn and Bianca

Posted: December 27th, 2012 | No Comments »

Me and my friend Mica love going to the movies and watch local films. Well, I usually don’t expect a lot from our local flicks, especially if it’s a commercial one – but it’s entertaining nevertheless so don’t judge me!
I was pretty happy seeing the cinemas packed yesterday night! I mean all the movies showing starting Christmas to New Year’s are all MMFF entries! I’m happy that all social class brackets were well-represented.
Speaking of social class, the movie we watched last night, “Sosy Problems,” was all about the “SUPER DUPER UPPER CLASS” and their “petty” problems fit for their status. #conyoproblems #firstworldproblems has trended in Twitter a few times. A new friend Kevin even has a viral video tutorial on how to speak “conyo”.
Verdict:  ”Sosy Problems” is a great movie to watch with your girl friends or gay friends.  I’m not sure if […]

Fujifilm X Series Cameras: XF1 and XE1

Posted: December 25th, 2012 | No Comments »

Last month marked the expiry of my uber extended blog events hiatus. After a noxious lengthy period of feeding on cold and stale food, existing within my minuscule rathouse of an apartment, and conversing with my only rational companion, Hp and Apple, I finally summoned all the energy in my emaciated body to free me from my self-imposed exile. I decided to take a walk around town and get some fresh air. And indeed, fresh air was what I got as my self-imposed exile ended with a visit to the product launching of FUJIFILM’s newest X series cameras.

Waiting for the Fujifilm XE1 and XF1 Camera Launch

The moment I stepped in the room, everything just suddenly came back. I remembered how wonderful it was to be human again. Everything inside the room was amazing and nice— shimmering lights, sparkling liquid in polished glasswares, aromatic treats for the […]

Posted: December 23rd, 2012 | No Comments »

A few stores in the metro don’t allow any use of plastic bags anymore. It’s great cause it’s a worthy cause to save the environment. The downside is, it could be such a hassle to carry all your grocery items and other goods you shopped with a paper bag. This is where eco-bags come in handy.

Getting from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport to Taipei

Posted: December 21st, 2012 | No Comments »

Taiwan’s transportation system is very organized.  I would be confident to go back here again even flying solo and go around Taipei on my own.  I felt really safe walking around the streets even at 2am.  Of course, your first concern the moment you arrive at the Taoyuan International Airport is to find means to go to your hotel.  The best and most convenient way is to order hotel transfer.  If you’re on a budget (like me), here are different means of getting from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport to Taipei.

Discovery Center of Taipei

Posted: December 20th, 2012 | No Comments »

Discovery Center of Taipei is one of our destinations in our 4 day trip to Taiwan. This center is sponsored by the government of Taiwan.
This is a go-to place for people who want to understand in a brief time, the history and culture of Taiwan.  It is located at the City Hall.
The center’s first-floor Taipei Impressions Hall displays the scenes of someo f the best spots in the city to begin a sight-seeing tour.  The second floor Special Exhibitions Hall arranges occasional exhibits on topics of interest.  The City Discovery Hall, located on the third floor, includes a variety of displays on Taipei’s culture and ecology.  Last but not the least, my favorite floor is on the fourth!  It includes the Dialogue with Time Hall, which outlines Taipei’s history and the Discovery Theater.
I learned a few things about how Taiwan came about. The Portuguese sailed here first calling the land […]

Touchdown Friendly Taiwan

Posted: December 17th, 2012 | No Comments »

Woohoo! It’s my first time in Taiwan and landing in this beautiful country has been pretty relaxing!
We were greeted by the friendliest people of AirAsia Taiwan. All the passengers of the inaugural flight were givin a little present when we landed.
To celebrate the inaugural flight, Philippines’ AirAsia raffled off a trip for 2 to a local destination and another trip for 2 for an international flight!
One of the winner’s names is very close to my name and middle name which surprised me!
The trip from Clark to Taiwan takes about 2 hours. AirAsia offers meals onboard. When you order online, you will even save a lot for the meals! My favorite is the Chicken Rice.
Maan Hontiveros, AirAsia PH CEO, is very delighted to offer this new route […]
