One of the newest hotel chains in the Philippines today is Tune Hotels, and unlike other hotels, you only pay for what you need so you can really keep your cost to a minimum. Here are my thoughts.

Cebu Lechon Chronicles: Islands Stay Hotels (Review)
If you’ve been travelling around the Philippines you may have noticed those Islands Souvenirs shops selling souvenir tees so I wasn’t that surprised when the words Islands Stay Hotels came up.

Gear Review: Yurbuds Ironman Inspire
A few weeks ago I got my hands, er, make that ears, into one of the latest accessories to complement our active lifestyle, Yurbuds Ironman Inspire. Here are my thoughts:
Shoe Review: Mizuno Wave Prophecy
The much anticipated and latest addition to the Wave line of Mizuno is already in the country: the Mizuno Wave Prophecy. This flagship model from Mizuno, to my surprise, comes in the form of a trainer and I’m lucky enough to be given a chance by Mizuno to take this handsome shoe for a ride. …
Shoe Review: adidas CC Ride
Every one’s in a while, a shoe comes along that breaks the monotony of stereotype and blurs the line between performance and fashion. The adidas ClimaCool Ride is one such shoe, but with its good looks, can it also perform? I was on the lookout for a good daily shoe that can also double as…
Shoe Review: Merrell Trail Glove
Merrell recently introduced to the Philippine market their Barefoot Collection and I was lucky enough to win a pair of their segment for trails, the Trail Glove. At first glance it looks like a regular pair, but given its name with a matching Vibram name on its sole, it had got to be much more…
34th National MILO® Marathon: R&R (Runners and Review)
This year’s installment of the National MILO® Marathon (Manila Eliminations) takes the race on an entirely new level.

The Runners I consider…

This event was handled by Race Director Rudy Biscocho of RACE. Here are my afterthoughts of the overall race experience: Pre-Race Condura Run had the…
Shoe Review: K-Swiss K-Ona
K-Swiss isn’t particularly known in the Philippines as a company that makes running shoes so I was quite surprised when I saw several models in the local market. One particular shoe that caught my eye was the K-Ona. K-Ona is definitely a looker with its design. It looks very breathable but what surprised me was…
Shoe Review: New Balance 681
Choosing a good quality shoe need not be expensive. The 681 from New Balance in an entry level running shoe that not only looks good, it also performs well. Features First Glance At first glance the 681 looks good and upon closer inspection you’ll notice the Abzorb cushioning is also placed in the forefoot area. …
PRs at Timex Run
Timex Run, the most expensive sub-marathon road race in the Philippines thus far not only set the race registration fee higher, but also introduced a lot of new PRs. PR = Piolo + Rio One of the possible reasons that the race became a huge success despite the steep price was due to the celebrity…
Race Review: Run for Home
Run for Home can be proud to be one of the country’s largest race in terms of attendance with more than 6,000 runners and raising more than a million pesos for charity, according to the race organizers. This was aside from the fact that this race introduced disposable electronic timing chips in the Philippine running…
