I’ve always been hearing good things about Bacolod City so when the opportunity came, we quickly grabbed our tickets and booked our flight. Of course we didn’t just toured around Bacolod City as we have an entire island for our discovery. There were so many unexpected things that happened to us during our trip which…

October 31, 2011: We are now Seven Billion!
The United Nations (UN) has estimated that today, October 31, 2011, the world’s population has reached seven billion people. That’s 7,000,000,000! Of course, this figure has some margins of error as nobody can really tell the exact population of each country in the world. For your reference, the Philippines is estimated to have a population…
Costume Crisis
Halloween is almost here, one of the “newest” and most enjoyable western tradition assimilated with our own. For kids, it’s much ado about the “trick-or-treat”-ing, but for the kids at heart, it’s about the costumes and parties! It’s fun just thinking about it, but I have a problem–I don’t have a costume yet!

Quickie Tour: SM Mall of Asia and its Arena
It’s been quite a while since I was last at the SM Mall of Asia, and like with other business centers in the country the development in the area is going full throttle. Among the most prominent structures under construction is the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Here are some pictures from my quick tour…
A Blogger Who Also Runs?!
Lately I’m starting to think that I’m not a runner who blogs, but a blogger who also runs! Well, after almost three years of running I’ve never had a podium finish, but my posts have!
McDonald’s Philippines Nutrition Facts
At long last, McDonald’s Philippines decided to “drop the bomb” and reveal the nutrition information about the food they serve. Caution: I guarantee you won’t be looking at that burger the same way again after reading this, so if you’re ready for the hard truth, please proceed… Disclaimer (from to the flyer that you may…
Lusso.
With rains pouring in on our long weekend, some of the best things to do are stay indoors and eat good food—slow down and appreciate the things around us. Every once in a while, it’s nice to savor the finer luxuries in life, and for me one of those luxuries I enjoy most are food.
Thelma
Finally, a local film inspired by our beloved sport, running! This movie is entitled “Thelma” and is inspired by the stories of true Filipino athletes who were discovered in the province, and fought their way to represent the Philippines in the world stage. “Thelma” is the first full-length feature film production of Time Horizon Pictures. It…
The Joy of Running in the Rain
This is probably the only way I can describe the video below, scenes from the 35th National MILO® Marathon Manila Eliminations. I posted it here to motivate me (and hopefully, others) whenever rain pours on my (our) runs. Too bad I missed the water therapy. 🙂
All Work, No Play
In a perfect world, or at least in an ideal world, we’d be able to do all the things we love. But in the real world there are those times when we sometimes have to skip the things we want in order to do the things that we have to—and for many of us, it’s…
Baguio City Quickie
What’s crazier than driving up and down Baguio City from Metro Manila for a day tour? It’s doing it all over again! We did it once, and last weekend was able to do it again.
