One of my favorite juice bars in the Philippines, Jamba Juice, now had made public the nutrition facts of their products. This makes a lot of sense for those seeking a healthier lifestyle, particularly those calorie-conscious juice blend lovers. So which one is healthy and which one is guilt-free?

Dried Mango Chronicles: Post-Marathon Food Trip (Zubu Chon, Yogo, and Casa Verde)
One of the best feelings after doing a marathon is “guilt-free” eating! After burning thousands of calories, you practically have the right to eat anything you want, and given this fact and we were in Cebu, one of the best ways to get back those lost calories is with Cebu’s famous Zubu Chon Lechon!
What’s News? Sunday Lifestyle
I would like to thank Ms. Tessa Prieto-Valdes for mentioning my post and blog about Timex Run (yes, the one with Piolo!) on her article “Fireworks with the Dragon, Katy Perry and Piolo Pascual” on last Sunday’s Lifestyle section of the Philippine Daily Inquirer. It was an unexpected but pleasant surprise which I really appreciate!…
The Chronicles of SAR: First Day at Hong Kong (Day 03)
Our China Special Administrative Region (SAR) tour would of course not be complete if we didn’t visit the other SAR, Hong Kong. For our third day, we were up early to temporarily say goodbye to Macau, and say hello to Hong Kong.
Hot Issue: Runner’s World Philippines Jan-Mar 2012 Edition
Do you already have the latest issue of Runner’s World Magazine Philippines? The latest one is a “Marathon Special” and aside from getting the magazine, you also get an arm band to place your gadget when you run—for still the same regular price of ₱150. But I’m actually more interested in that special feature about…
Dried Mango Chronicles: Kublai Khan and the Day before Cebu City Marathon
One of my most eagerly awaited event to jumpstart my year has arrived, the Cebu City Marathon. Flying in on a Saturday afternoon gave me just enough time to claim my kit, do my last grocery shopping, and eat all I can—wait, uhm, yeah, eat all I can!
Holiday Cheers!
The holidays are meant to be spent with our beloved ones and even us who are friends with the road and blogging are no exception, so before we bade goodbye to the year that was, we had our petite but delightful gathering. Our “Christmas Party” may be simple and was even set after Christmas, but…
The Chronicles of SAR: The Special Administrative Regions of Macau and Hong Kong
After two years of staying home, a lot of first and seconds in my life became a reality, including my first time in China’s Special Administrative Regions (SAR) Macau and Hong Kong, and my second international marathon with the Galaxy Entertainment Maratona Internacional de Macau (Macau Galaxy Entertainment International Marathon). Here’s the story of our…
A Pocket of Delight: Patio Vera
Marikina Riverbanks is included in my top five list of the best places to run in Metro Manila and little did I know that just over a kilometer from it lies a great spot to dine after a late afternoon run, Patio Vera.
Lunar Eclipse
One of the most interesting natural phenomena of nature is the eclipse, and all throughout my life I’ve never seen a full lunar eclipse. Today was a great chance, but for some weird reason, the weather in Quezon City where I live never cooperates whenever something grandiose is happening in the sky. I still find…
Photowalk: Manila
I recently got myself an interchangeable-lens camera (ILC) in a bid to improve my photography skills and to be familiar with my new gadget in time for my upcoming travel outside the country, I decided to do a photowalk in one of the most picturesque places in the country, the City of Manila. Here are…
Yabu, The House of Katsu
The date 11/11/11 (November 11, 2011) is a tad more especial for me, more than it’s visual appeal, as it marked this blog’s third anniversary. It is also the last Friday before my first 32K at Run United 3 so it’s the best time to carbo-load—and for this special day I picked the latest addition…
