Visiting Philippines Tourist Spots – Iloilo, Guimaras, Boracay & Roxas

It was in 2006 when I first travelled to Iloilo, Philippines for a business trip and it was my first time to ride an airplane. After that, I was going back and forth to Iloilo island. The first time wasn’t really that much fun so I promised myself to come back. I heard a lot [...]

Dreaming of snakes

I had a dream about snakes last week or last 2 weeks ago and I still wonder what it means until now. I do not remember exactly the sequence but as far as I can remember, I was holding a snake gently and then suddenly I accidentally squeezed his neck. I think the snake was [...]

Count the sheep and sleep – it works!

Source: Flickr Who says counting sheep are for kids only? I just proved to myself that this method really works! I’ve been sleeping really late a couple of days already and this is the method I use.

The iMax 3d Experience

It isn’t just a movie, it is real. The characters are only a couple of steps away from you and the dinosaurs could have swallowed me anytime. I do not know how many times I have closed my eyes because of fear. I do not know how many times I raised my hands because I [...]

I met Wall-E

I met Wall-e! Yey! I’ve recently watched the latest movie from Pixar and I had a great time. The love team of Wall-e and Eve (I pronounce it as Eeeva) is soo cute too. I was thrilled when I saw him in the SM Discovery Science Center in Mall of Asia last August 22. Here [...]
