Say Aaaah!~ Taste this soft, moist red velvet cake. It’s made from the Duncan Hines red velvet cake mix. I liked this product, but I won’t use it regularly because I like making cakes from scratch. The cake was also a bit too fluffy compared to all red velvet cakes I tried before. Still, my […]
Log the date & time each time you turn on your Windows computer
In the morning, I sometimes forget the time I log into the time-tracking system in my workplace so I stay a bit longer to make sure I don’t get an “undertime”. I thought that my computer at work could help me with this issue somehow. I hoped there was a Windows program that can record […]
To avoid lines at LRT-1 Northbound: buy up to 5 coupons per transaction
I usually post in English, but this will be a mix of English and Tagalog. I’m writing this to let people know of a way to somehow shorten the lines for ticket booths at LRT-1 Northbound. It seems that not every passenger knows about the “Modified Coupon System”. Pa’no ba naman, hindi kapansin-pansin yung posters […]
Subic Park Hotel review, taxi rates, and places to visit in Subic
In August, a companion and I wanted to get away from the city during a long weekend. We didn’t want to go somewhere too far from Manila, and were looking for just a little adventure in the trip. Because of that, we decided to go to Subic Bay Freeport Zone. 🙂 I’m going to include […]

Kumori: Japanese baked goods review
Blueberry Brioche and Hanjuku Cheese (Original) were two items that I first tried at Kumori. There’s a Kumori store in the lower ground floor of Landmark Makati, and if you want to try some heavenly spongy-but-melt-in-your-mouth cheesecakes, you know where to go. 😉 A couple of months later, I also tried Kumori’s “Tofu Cheese”.

You’re on this page probably because you want to know how you can avail Beep cards at LRT stations. Or maybe for the first time, your Beep card is about to run out of load. Maybe you don’t take LRT trains but just a little curious. 🙂 The Beep card ticketing system was first tried […]
LRT Beep card: my experience with the new ticketing system
Tap-and-go na ang ticketing system LRT-1, Southbound man o Northbound! This is thanks to the LRT Beep cards. Hopefully, the next upgrade in our train system would be for the improvement of train availability. As I write this in late September, I can’t say that I feel any improvement in my daily and nightly commute […]
Melliza Cakes and Pastries: review
When I go to Robinson’s Place Manila, I often buy a red velvet cupcake or two from the stall of Portobello Bakery. Their red velvet cupcakes are moist and have that nice “chew” to it, and the cream cheese frosting’s tang and sweet level are just right. But then I found out that the stall […]
Yamazaki, Little Tokyo (Makati) – review
Friends and I wanted to catch up over dinner after work. Most of us were Japanese food fans, and we decided to eat at Yamazaki in Little Tokyo. I would definitely come back again for their delicious fried gyoza and would try the Yamazaki ramen, hoping there will be someone to share a bowl of […]
