Easy Desktop Games to Keep You Sharp!
Is it just me getting older, or is my mind not as quick as it used to be? Back in school, decades ago, I did math in my head all the time. We weren’t allowed calculators until, oh, I can’t even remember now, but probably around advanced calculus or something. These days, I find myself…

Chance Hotel (Taichung) Review – Affordable, Great Value
We recently went to Taichung (Taiwan), a 40-minute HSR train ride from Taipei. Taichung is a more laidback city than Taipei, and, imho, we liked the food at their famous Feng Chia Night Market. Since I had never been to Taichung before, I had a harder time picking a hotel. I finally settled on Chance…

Romulo Cafe QC Review + Honey Bakes Cafe
A few weekends ago, I attended a birthday get-together at Romulo Cafe in Quezon City. We’d heard that they served good Filipino food, so I was excited to finally try their food.

We were celebrating an occasion so I was tasked with looking for a restaurant that had: I wasn’t too sure about the good food part, because it was our first time dining at Seven Plates, but we did eat at One World Deli a few months ago (also at Corner House) and the food was…

Cai Hok Seafood Restaurant: Current Fave HK-Quality Dimsum in QC
We love dimsum, but lately, it’s been difficult to get Hong Kong-quality dimsum. The dimsum restaurants we’ve tried have just left us disappointed. During the past year, we’ve tried some dimsum promos from different places like hotel restaurants and expensive Chinese restaurants in Greenhills, but few come close to the dimsum restaurant that will forever…

I can’t remember exactly when I bought my Voyager carry-on size luggage. It was probably more than a decade ago and I have used it on several trips. Depending on the trip, it is sometimes used as a carry on, sometimes checked in if our luggage allowance allows. Most times it is packed inside a…
