There's one particular food store that Dabawenyos are craving for: Krispy Kreme.

We posted snippets of our Samal trip last Friday in Twitter and Plurk, and now comes the mother account of what happened in our Bluejaz visit. Of course, a lot of you may have heard about Bluejaz before since it has been featured twice (not once, but twice!) in TV ...

Business Mirror reported today that Air Asia, a budget airline based in Malaysia, has expressed interest to fly between Kota Kinabalu and Davao City. This is actualy good news for us. It seems that we can expect more seat bargains for international travel now that Air Asia is preparing to ...

Glomark, Daryl and Hubby When we were walking the streets of Singapore early this month, we met old friend and College classmate Glomark Tan! Of all the places to reunite, who would expect it to be in the streets of another country? We had a short chat and we introduced ...

Just crashing in on my wife’s blog again. 😉 After my wife’s slightly harrowing experience in the cable car ride to Sentosa Island, she expressed hesitation to hitch a ride with another high flyer. Two days after our Sentosa visit, I convinced her to hop aboard the Singapore Flyer, a ...

Hubby's favorite is the Cereal Prawn while mine is the Chili Crab.

Touring Singapore was both fun and exhausting. To give our bodies a much-needed boost, we made a few stops at Singapore's famous refreshment parlors.

One of the featured attractions of Sentosa Island in Singapore is the Underwater World. Admission costs S$22.90 for adults and S$14.60 for kids. This fee includes admission to the Dolphin Lagoon. I was a bit disappointed with Manila Ocean Park last October, and had high hopes for Underwater World Singapore. ...

On our second day, we joined a Johor Bahru, Malaysia Tour. Johor Bahru is just a bridge (and a long queue for immigration checks) away from Singapore, so we decided to check it out. The tour’s most interesting stop was at Masjid Sultan Abu Bakar (or the Sultan Abu Bakar ...

The Underwater World admission ticket, which costs S$22.90 for adults and S$14.60 for kids, already includes admission to the Dolphin Lagoon. At certain schedules, they showcase their pink Indo-Pacific Humpback dolphins with a ‘Meet the Dolphins’ show. We watched the 3:30pm show. Other sessions are at 11am, 1:30pm and 5:30pm. ...

The Merlion, a mythical creature that has the body of a fish and the head of lion, is Singapore’s most famous emblem. Every souvenir shop in the country has Merlion-inspired items — from key chains to shirts to food items like chocolates and biscuits. There are 5 Merlion statues recognized ...

There are several ways to Sentosa Island. Our options were the taxi or the bus (boring), the Sentosa Express (just like riding the MRT) and the cable car — which is something we haven’t tried before, and thus became our transportation of choice. A two-way trip via the normal cabin ...

Check out my first meal in Singapore!

After days of walking, eating, shopping and sightseeing, we have finally returned home. Singapore was a very memorable overseas experience for us, and it provided us the perfect end to the year. Hubby enjoying his soup with the locals I’ll be writing a full post about Singapore in the coming ...

Hubby and I will be having a short vacation in Singapore. 😀 We will be leaving tomorrow and will be back on Monday. I will tell you about our trip as soon as we get back. View Larger Map

Last year, we stayed in Pasay City for 2 nights before going to our main destination, which was Subic. Why else will we choose to drop by Manila if not to see their latest pride — the Mall of Asia, the largest shopping mall in the Philippines? This year, our ...

Last year, while planning for our Subic vacation, we thought of inserting a trip to Quezon City to check what its most famous comedy bars have to offer. In the end, we decided it was way much of a hassle to go to QC when we will be staying in ...

Hubby ordered Kitkat while I picked Chocolate Almond, both flavors priced at PhP 99 per 12 oz cup filled with creamy ice cream goodness.

Unlike the usual halo-halo, theirs does not come in full colors. With only banana, buco, leche flan and milk, the color stays at a minimum but the taste still gets a high.

I ordered sisig at every opportunity and I never failed to compare it with the sisig I know - that of Davao.

My favorite BK meal? That would be, hands down, the Ham Croisanwich Meal, which is only offered during breakfast time and priced at PhP 115.

I should have shared my experiences in Manila while in Manila, but if you have read my previous entries, you would know why I was not able to do so. Anyway, let me start sharing them now, one worthy event at a time. One of the many reasons I was ...

I’m back to Davao, and back to sleeping as late as 2 AM. I arrived from Manila yesterday (or was that the other day?). I must say I missed the city. Davao is really different from Manila. While Manila has plenty of entertainment to offer (especially since we stayed in ...

Let me interrupt my wife’s blog again to share with you my thoughts. I’m sure she would not mind. 😉 It’s 10:00 PM on my watch, and I have mixed emotions right now. On one hand, I feel like a bigshot businessman traveling with an endless budget (disclaimer: my company ...

My husband will be away for 6 weeks to attend an Intermediate Brewing Course in Valenzuela City. As he frequently jokes, he needs to learn how to drink beer without getting drunk! Although 6 weeks may sound too short for some who have endured several years of being away from ...

Camiguin shall always stay in a special place in my heart, as this is where my soul mate and I chose to celebrate the beginning of our life as husband and wife.

Some of my officemates were recently in Camiguin for a short vacation. Since my husband and I already had a Camiguin honeymoon in 2006, we opted to pass on the trip and stayed home. I, anyway, have decided to share our own Cagayan-Camiguin fun by posting here the travel account ...
