I think I have mentioned our recent holiday in Orlando quite a bit now. I’ll try not to mention it too often. We’re hoping that we’ll be able to go on holiday in the Philippines for five weeks later on this year. However, we do like to take a couple of decent breaks annually. It [...]

When we went on holiday in Florida, the villa we stayed in was packed with information we needed for our holiday. However, it would have been fantastic if we know exactly where we can find some shops even prior to leaving England. This would have, to some extent, helped us when we made our itineraries.

Don’t we all love to live in a cleaner environment. People varies from being an obsessive compulsive cleaner to a few who never care at all. This had been evident in some of the TV program such as How clean is your house?. Quite a few of us are very much dependent on commercially made [...]

There was a recent Chili pepper eating contest held in Legazpi City. This just reminded me of our househelp in the past who grew up in Albay, Legazpi. My parents thought she was a fantastic cook. They loved it when she prepares their Albay specialty dish – I shall update this post when I’ve got [...]

It’s been over a couple of weeks now since our holiday trip in America. We had a lovely time during our stay in sunny Orlando, Florida. The kids loved it to bits, particularly the visits to a multitude of theme parks and water parks within Walt Disney World.

I’ve just been told that Manila Ocean Park is now open to the public. Manila Ocean Park is a P1 billion project to help boost tourism in the Philippines. The Manila Oceanarium is situated near Luneta, Quirino Grandstand. From the video coverage of the ocean park by Mel and Joey it does appear to be [...]

This is a little too early but would it not be interesting to find out what’s in store for the coming 110th Philippine Independence day 2008 celebration in London and across the UK. Last year’s celebration, Filipinos in and out of London had gathered over the weekend to celebrate the 109th Philippine Independence Day in [...]

When we went on holiday in France, we spent the whole week to make the most of what it has to offer. Sadly, it wasn’t enough. We allocated a day to visit the most famous art museum in France, the Musee de Louvre in Palais Royal, Paris. However, I have mixed views on the glass [...]

Disney World in Orlando Florida is the largest and most visited recreational resort in the world. Disney theme parks, water parks, themed hotels are heavily scattered within Disney area in Orlando, Florida. We had been in Disneyland in Paris, France. The place was fantastic and indeed full of fun and excitement. In search for more [...]

We use our kettle quite a lot for boiling water (what else would I use it for, duh). Especially this winter you really need to warm up quite a bit. British tea, anyone? I remember someone suggested to filter the water before boiling as it helps reduce the build up of limescale but it makes [...]

Gian Carlos is on the news about becoming a young father. Gian stated that he would like to be with his girlfriend Eda Nolan and their child hence a decision to live together has been made. In the past, Philippines being a conservative country, it had always been a social stigma to live together without [...]

Katrina Halili was absolutely happy when she showed off her own lingerie line on Valentines Day. It’s amazing how a lot of Filipino celebrities now venture into some sort of business. The type of business they venture in ranges from their own designer clothings, perfumery, restauratuer and IT among others. These type of celebrities got [...]

I was known as a saver in our family since my childhood. But for some reason, my reputation had been that of a big spender for quite sometime. It was only a couple of years back when I started to regain more control on my finances. Especially after the Valentines day, if you had been [...]

Sunshine Dizon wont date this Valentine’s day, instead she will just cook. Sunshine Dizon is just one of quite a few celebrities who took up a culinary course. This is good as a celebrity, it is important to focus on something productive instead of getting hooked on drugs or anything that can potentially be detrimental. [...]

I’m off to London today, but not exactly to visit the Queen. I have a 3 day workshop/conference to attend. To limit the number of private vehicles in the capital, the government had introduced some traffic schemes, congestion charge, being one of them. Coupled with a limited/expensive parking fees, people are a lot more dependent [...]

It’s great to know that the Tourism Department is continually promoting our country as a tourist destination for all of us. This was evident on the Philippine Tourism video they produced a year go. I’m probably guilty of not being able to see much of the Philippines, particularly, the southern regions. But, I do my [...]

This youtube video had been here quite a while ago. I still watch it every now and again. Support our country, support the Philippine Tourism. Quite catchy, isn’t it? They should have produced a video something similar to above in English to promote our country to other nationalities as a holiday destination. This will generate [...]
