I asked Citibank how much they would charge if I would do electronic funds transfer from them to a BPI account. According to them, we can transfer funds from Citibank to other banks for free if it’s electronic funds transfer. 🙂 I’m starting to like Citibank.

DHL: shipped from Manila, Philippines to Yokohama, Japan
Last Monday, I went to the DHL branch in Greenbelt 1 to send a package to Yokohama. I waited for about 15 minutes for my turn in the queue, only for my package to be rejected because I forgot to take note of the phone number of the person I’m sending the package to. The […]

Dry itchy sensitive skin patches – regimen for treatment
My skin is oily in the facial area and in my back and chest. But from my legs to feet, I always thought they’re a bit dry.

GrabTaxi: I could never successfully book a taxi :(

Contact lens for Sept. 2014 to 2015, affordable multipurpose solution with free case, and travel size multipurpose solution
As a person with myopia (nearsightedness) who never feels comfortable with eyeglasses, I resort to contact lenses. I’m really glad contact lenses were invented.

Baguio Trip via Victory Liner First Class (Deluxe) Bus – With Schedules
*in Manila, Sunday is usually the day of the week when there’s least traffic but I think traffic is heaviest in Baguio on Sundays. In August, we went to Baguio for vacation. Walking up and down the slopes was tiring, but the hefty servings of delicious restaurant foods in the city provided us more than […]
Review: Dalampasigan Beach & Pool Resort in Guis-guis, Quezon, near Sariaya
I didn’t care for beaches… or so I thought. In March this year, developers and designers in our company set an overnight outing at Marine Base Beach Resort (a.k.a Boracay de Cavite, or Katungkulan Resort). I didn’t want to come because I don’t like swimming and other personal reasons. After some persuasion from a few […]
