Probably the least interesting part of the country side tour, the Sandugo Shrine located at Bool is usually the first stop of the tour being near Tagbilaran port, airport and resorts.

The Sandugo Shrine are life size bronze statues depicting the blood compact between Datu Sikatuna and Miguel Lopez de Legazpi. It is the least interesting because there is nothing on the site that explains the sculptures displayed.

I recently got back from a client support assignment in Belgium for 3 months. The first time I learned I was going to Belgium, I really had no idea what was instore for me for 3 months in that country. The only thing that popped out of my mind when Belgium is mentioned is the picture of Miss Belgium, who became a crowd favorite when the Miss Universe was held in the Philippines in 1994. ( I was in high school then and yes I admit, I had one of those wallet size picture of

It was my first time to go to Boracay, so I was looking forward to 2 things: the beach and the food. I was really looking forward to lots and lots of seafood on my short stay on the island.
Our flight out of Manila is around 11AM and by the time we got to the island, it was already past 3PM and by the time we got out of our room after unpacking our things, it was already 5PM. I was really very hungry and very much looking forward to the late

My family and I were at Boracay last Christmas, and while strolling on the beach we chanced upon the booth for the Zorb. The first time I saw the Zorb was on one of the challenges from the Amazing Race series in New Zealand, then afterwards a company started one in Boracay and it got featured in Trip na Trip and Sports Unlimited.
It looked kinda fun the first time I saw it on TV, so since we had the opportunity, we did try it out.
The actual site for the Zorb is at Ilig-Iligan, Brgy

Living on the 10th floor of a condo, one of the “amenities” that I get to enjoy every year is watching the view of Makati and Manila skyline on new year’s eve, seeing all the fantastic fireworks across metro manila, without having to shell out any money.
As 12 midnight approaches you can gradually see increasing fireworks activities in the whole metro. And while they were having a blast, I was also having a blast capturing the colors and patterns of the fireworks with my digicam.
The magic of the camera, setting it to

Kanta ng Metallica na ‘Enter Sandman’ ang parating kinakanta ng utak ko habang papalanding na yun KLM flght sa Schipol Airport Amsterdam. Papunta kasi ako sa Brussels, Belgium at ang connecting airport ko ay sa Amsterdam. Di na talaga na-correct yun maling lyrics na nabasa ko dati na ang sabi eh… ‘taaaayke my hends…off to Nether-Netherlands’, kaya tuloy yung kanta na yun ang parating nasa utak ko.

Kung nagkataon pala na hindi dumating ang mga muslim at kastila sa Pilipinas, marahil ay hindi Adobo, kundi Curry ang kilalang pagkain sa Pilipinas. Ito ang isang bagay na naglaro sa isip ko nang bisitahin ko ang bagong koleksyon ng Ayala Museum.
Ito ang Upavita o ang Sacred Thread… naisip mo na ba kung gaano kalaki ang Sacred Needle? (photo from Manuel L Quezon III blog)
Nung minsan na mapadaan ako sa bridge ng Greenbelt papuntang Landmark ay nakita ko ang bagong “wall paper” ng Ayala Museum na may catch phrase na “The exhibit you’ve
