California Berry is Heaven in a Cup
Aug 14th
Ever since I got hospitalized due to gastritis a few months back, I have made it a habit to eat healthy food whenever I can.
So when Andrew told me that California Berry invited us to sample their yogurts, I made sure to find time to visit their store at the 2nd floor of Gaisano Mall of Davao.
Lintik Lang Ang Walang Ganti
Aug 9th
I think may malaking galit sa akin si Orman Manansala.
If you have been living in a cave or have been hiding under a rock and don’t know him yet, he’s the Royal Gandaness of the blogosphere. Last August 1, nag-one year na ang blog niya. He asked me and Brendel, to go to GenSan. According to his facebook invitation, di daw pwedeng tumanggi.
Left with no choice, kahit puyat ako the night before, I forced myself out of bed and prepared myself for a 3-hour trip to GenSan.

My Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2010
Jul 25th
It’s that time of the year again when bloggers pick their choices for the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs. This writing project was initiated by Ms. Janette Toral and is now on its 4th year.
Here are my choices:
Wings and Dips
Jul 24th
The next time I crave for chicken wings, I now know where to go. Because last week, I was at Wings & Dips, a newly-opened diner along Mabini Street that specializes in fried chicken wings and pasta.
At Wings & Dips, my blogger friends and I tried their all-in-one wings and pasta meals as suggested by owner Andrew Azarias.
Buffalo Wings and Bolognese Pasta (Php118)
Pablo’s Lunch Buffet
Jul 21st
A few days ago, I and a number of blogger friends were at Pablo’s Steakhouse to try the restaurant’s Lunch Buffet.
There, we were treated to a spread of mouthwatering dishes which included baked potatoes, liver & bacon pasta, prawns thermidor, Iberian chicken, sweetened crabs in olive oil and garlic, and baby back ribs.

Ice Castle Experience
Jun 25th
During my last trip to General Santos City, I stayed at the Ice Castle Experience, the tuna capital’s first and only themed hotel. Hotel owner, Mr. Rey Billena, partnered with Avel Manansala and Orman Manansala of the SoCCSKSarGen Bloggers and generously offered to be our official residence for the duration of the SoCCSKSarGen Summer Safari.
What sets Ice Castle Experience apart from the other hotels in General Santos City is that it is built like a fairytale castle. The hotel utilizes the castle theme effectively, making it an ideal hotel for families with young children.
SoCCSKSarGen Summer Safari – Day 2 Highlights
May 31st
Day 2 of the SoCCSKSarGen Summer Safari began with a hearty breakfast at Dolores Farm Resort. Everyone was upbeat and excited in spite of the sun reminding everyone what the word “summer” meant.
Shortly after breakfast, the group toured the farm’s mini zoo. I thought it was going to be just like any other zoo tour but one horny monkey proved me wrong with his public exhibition that is too NSFW to describe.

SoCCSKSarGen Summer Safari
If you are a regular reader of this blog. You may have noticed that a good number of posts here are about General Santos City. What can I say, I’m in love with GenSan and its people.
Credit goes to the SoCCSKSarGen Bloggers specially the Manansala siblings, Avel and Orman. They really know what hospitality means. I’m even beginning to think that they invented the concept.
Davao Food Appreciation Tour (Davao F.A.T.) 2010 – Day 1
May 24th
When bloggers write about Davao, food and adventure almost always comes out as the main theme. That’s because good food and exhilarating adventures abound in this city of 1.3 million.
Recently, a select group of bloggers from Manila, Cagayan de Oro, and General Santos toured a number of Davao’s gastronomic and adventure destinations upon the invitation of Avatar Media.
