It has been awhile since I had lunch with my friend J, and today we decided to try Cafe Capreal, located at Ma. Clara cor. Banawe Sts. in Quezon City since it is nearer where J works. It is a casual cafe with parking out front, with the vibe of a neighborhood coffee hangout and…
Lately, because of DB’s schedule, we found ourselves looking for dinner at 10 or 11pm. Do you have any idea how hard it is to look for somewhere decent to eat at 11pm? One time we found ourselves at Burgos Circle, and thank God, Tokyo Bubble Tea was still open! Their breads were also on…
I have been using Globe’s new Immortal promo after I saw the many ads for it a couple of months ago. If you are not familiar with the promo, here is info from the Globe website. Here is my experience with it after about 2 months of usage. At first, I was like, hmm.. this…
When someone says “Dunkin Donuts”, more than likely you will have visions of the ubiquitous little Dunkin Donut stall under LRT stations selling crappy donuts. While walking around McKinley Hill one afternoon a few months ago, I noticed that my companion was a bit tired and decided to get some rest at Dunkin Donuts at…
My sister got this printer from one of her company’s incentive campaigns. It’s an HP Deskjet Ink Advantage All-in-One Printer, model K209a. It is currently attached to our desktop, which is primarily used by my parents. We’ve had this printer for the better part of a year, but it has only been recently when I…
My dad brought home a bunch of bananas the other day. He was in the Binondo area and he told me that he was able to get those good-looking bananas for only P35 for the whole bunch! And no, these did not seem like the “for local consumption” bananas. They looked like “export quality” bananas…

So a while ago I had given up my Sun Cellular prepaid and switched to Red Mobile. And I gave up Red Mobile and switched to Blackberry (BBM is so much better, but alas, I limited calling only to dire emergencies). Then I went back to keeping another Sun Cellular prepaid. Yes, it all sounds…
I watch Gossip Girl. And I ship Chuck and Blair. So after several episodes of watching Blair pine for Laduree’s macarons, I finally gave in and tried to find the next best thing here in Manila. Ladureeis a cafe in Paris famous for their pastries, and most notably their macarons. I have also seen this…
Today I saw an ad in the newspaper for Smart’s All Call. What caught my attention was the P250 for 100 minutes (P2.50/minute!) which you can use to call ANY network (Smart, Globe, Sun, etc..), or any landline ANYWHERE in the Philippines, or ANY number in the US, Canada, Hong Kong or Singapore! Now, I…
