The Mind Museum

Share this article: Facebook Twitter Stumble Upon Digg This del.icio.us Reddit

The Mind Museum is the newest museum in the Metro. It just opened last March 16 and deals mostly with science. Being the science fanatics/nerds that we are, we immediately planned our visit and booked our tickets at the soonest possible time.

Nomama Artisanal Ramen

It was just a spur of the moment, my wife and I were craving for noodle soup so we head on to Nomama for dinner on my birthday and left our children at home. I know, selfish right?

Lee Boutique Hotel, Tagaytay

Share this article: Facebook Twitter Stumble Upon Digg This del.icio.us Reddit

There has been a surge of boutique hotels recently in Tagaytay, and one of these is Lee Boutique Hotel. This is the first boutique hotel I've stayed in.

Manila Ocean Park

Share this article: Facebook Twitter Stumble Upon Digg This del.icio.us Reddit

We went to the Manila Ocean Park on my birthday, October 25, 2011. The last time we went there was 4 years ago and there have been lots of changes since then. We've been planning this trip for a couple of months now and have been delayed a couple of weeks. The timing was perfect though, it was my son's semestral break and it was my birthday.

Paradizoo

Share this article: Facebook Twitter Stumble Upon Digg This del.icio.us Reddit

Paradizoo is a relatively new attraction in Tagaytay. It is made by the people who gave us Residence Inn. Although, technically, it is already in Mendez, Cavite, it's only a few kilometers (15 mins) away from Taal Vista Lodge, and is very easy to get to.

Taal Vista Lodge, still the best

Share this article: Facebook Twitter Stumble Upon Digg This del.icio.us Reddit

Another long weekend, so another trip out of town. But since it's an All Soul's Day holiday, we were stuck in the south, within or close to Batangas for a customary visit to the cemetery on Nov. 1.

Sango The Burger Master

Share this article: Facebook Twitter Stumble Upon Digg This del.icio.us Reddit

Sango is one of the newest restaurants in Tomas Morato. The time we ate here, it was still in its soft opening. I didn't know about this place nor heard of it before, we just passed by it and saw the words "Burger Master". Being a burger enthusiast/hunter myself, I couldn't let it pass.

Singapore Day 4

Share this article: Facebook Twitter Stumble Upon Digg This del.icio.us Reddit

The next day, Sunday, was our last day in Singapore. Our flight was 11 o'clock in the evening, so we still had the whole day to sightsee.

Singapore Day 3

Share this article: Facebook Twitter Stumble Upon Digg This del.icio.us Reddit

On our third day in Singapore, we went to Marina Bay Sands, which is a newly constructed hotel building and tourist attraction. Marina Bay Sands looks like 3 skyscrapers connected to each other by a deck that looks like a large cruise ship sitting on top. At the top, there is an awesome view of the whole city and, according to them, the longest pool in the world, which is only available for hotel guests.

Singapore Day 1 & 2

Share this article: Facebook Twitter Stumble Upon Digg This del.icio.us Reddit

We left the Philippines, through Philippine Airlines, Thursday, at about 3pm and arrived in Singapore just before 7pm.  This is the best airport I've visited so far.  Better than Hong Kong's or Chicago's O'hare.

Conversation with a Spammer

Share this article: Facebook Twitter Stumble Upon Digg This del.icio.us Reddit

It's suprising the gall of spammers these days. They try to start conversations and give you virus infecting websites. When a friend sent me a YM, I immediately detected it was a spammer. That is what they do now, they hack into people's Yahoo accounts and give their friends spam websites.

Black Ghost Knife Fish Behaving Oddly

Share this article: Facebook Twitter Stumble Upon Digg This del.icio.us Reddit

Does anyone know why my Black Ghost is behaving like this? It's going around and around on broad daylight. Normally it stays hidden in the plants or under some rock and only comes out when it's dark. But now, it's going around in circles.

Johnny Rockets - Tomas Morato, Quezon City

Share this article: Facebook Twitter Stumble Upon Digg This del.icio.us Reddit

I'm not really a burger connoisseur. I would categorize myself more of a burger enthusiast than an expert.  Every so often, I would try out new burger joints with my wife just to satisfy my cravings for burgers along with my mission to find the best burger in Metro Manila. This time around, we visited Johnny Rockets in Tomas Morato Ave.

New Year Celebration Video

I made a short video from the video clips I shot of our New Year celebration in Manila. I did this just for fun, and for our relatives to see how much fun we have on welcoming the new year!

Buco Ad Pitch

Share this article: Facebook Twitter Stumble Upon Digg This del.icio.us Reddit

I was recently invited by Fresh Fruits Inc., a Philippine coconut ingredients producer, to produce an ad pitch for their new product 'Buco', a line of coconut food additives. The client found out that I was a photographer and just gave me a set of their products for me to photograph and use on the poster and website design. This is an advantage for me since I can just provide the whole package, including design and photography. They wouldn't have to talk to anyone else. I just hope I make a good impression on my design.
