K-Pop Stuff in CNA at Malate, Manila

It was a Christmas day and my niece had not yet received her present. We wanted to surprise her by bringing her to a shop that sold K-Pop merchandise here in Manila. Fortunately, I was able to come across CNA's well-updated Facebook page after Googling the term "K-Pop stuff". Aside from the Korean Pop merchandise and products CNA is selling, they also  have tons and tons of cutesy stuff such as fancy rings, earrings, bracelets,...

Booksale in SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City, Philppines

I love buying dog books. Every time I come across a Booksale shop, I would go in, check out the dog book section (if ever there was one) and find something to add in my collection.

Inside Booksale located in SM MOA at Pasay City, Manila Philippines One thing's for sure, the Mall of Asia Booksale has one of the largest selection of manga books for sale. I am still scouring...

Nokinok in Puerto Princesa, Palawan

Food, you say? Aside from getting more for less, Palawan's specialty would definitely be the crocodile meat. I had to try it when I got to Kinabuchs. Anyway if you're a little tight on the budget, you can always go to Nokinok in the middle of Puerto Princesa City, Palawan. Total cost? 247 php. There should be another Iced Tea in the corner and something else which  I totally forgot now. I am still unsure whether they were...

Corazon Tourist Inn: Palawan's Best Hotel in the Heart of the City

Okay, so I have to admit that after scouting 3 hotels, Corazon Tourist Inn was one of the best hotels I could find. Their rooms are cozy and their staff provided excellent service. I was searching for a room that had reliable Wi-Fi access and this is the only hotel/inn that had it while still being in my price range (the single room I stayed in for 3 days cost 1,100 php/day since I didn't avail the breakfast package).  As...

Baker's Hill in Puerto Princesa, Palawan

Here's another one of those Palawan posts. This is the famous Baker's Hill. I'm not really sure what their specialty is so I just decided to pick out one of everything and bring it as "pasalubong" when I went home. What I love about Baker's Hill are the beautiful and artistic landscapes when you get into the center of it. Baker's Hill Entrance at sunset. My camera doesn't do much to accentuate its beauty but it was quite wonderful...

Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center

You have to check out the crocodiles in Palawan. Two of them are really huge. One in particular is named Valentino. ^^ We arrived at the Palawan Crocodile Farm a little over 5 PM. The guests were about to go home but we were luck enough to have one of their personnel give us a quick tour before they all close the cages and entrances. The Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center is more famously known as the Palawan Crocodile...

Mitra's Ranch in Puerto Princesa, Palawan

Two weeks ago, I was at Palawan for an official business trip. I was in a time crunch so not a lot of sight seeing took place. Anyway, here's a picture of the beautiful Mitra's Ranch. It's a great place to go to when you only have a couple of hours to explore Palawan. This ranch also goes by the name Rancho Sta. Monica or Sta. Monica Ranch. Read about my entire short-lived adventure in 8 Ways to Enjoy Your Business Trip to Pal...

Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) in Pasay, Manila

Food for Thought: JD Roadhouse in Iloilo City, Philippines

JD Roadhouse is pretty much the food haven of students, yuppies and families alike. The food is cheap and reasonably good. The first time I have gone to JD was in high school. Back then, their famed Baked Mac cost 16 php. I would pair it up with an iced tea which was about 11 php (or somewhere between the lines). JD Roadhouse is located near the University of San Agustin. After more than a decade of continued patronage, JD is still...

Their Coco Shake is delicious (and did I say cheap already?) and well worth...

Jailbreaking iPhone 3GS 5.1.1 for Newbies (No Network, No Service, Searching...)

I am making this post because it took me two days to fully jailbreak an iPhone 3GS my friend asked me to. Normally,, a click of the button labeled "Jailbreak" should do the trick. However, this one in particular was already jailbroken but some of things normally enjoyed by JB users weren't there. So here are the reasons you may have decided to use this post: 1. The newly Jailbroken Task Manager isn't working as it should be. 2....

Marymart Mall Iloilo

I have no idea what to say about Marymart Mall. It's been there ever since I've known how to surf the web. I recall the days when Concept was one of the sole providers of prepaid internet. I used to spend hours and hours staring at the CRT monitor using mIRC and surfing the web for 40php an hour (or as it 60php back then). Marymart Mall Second Floor. This is where the newer Light Tops and Concept are located. One of the places...

Book Latte: Books and Coffee in a Cozy Little Nook

It had been months since I've first eyed this tiny nook in the corner of Robinsons Mall, Iloilo. It's not located inside the mall but rather outside where the bustling streets of the city are apparent. It's the type of shop people will barely notice. Finally, I was able to find some time to visit Book Latte. It's a coffee shop with shelf after shelf of books- the ones avid readers love to talk about it book clubs. It was pretty obvious...
