“I hope you enjoyed flying with us. My name is John from Virgin America. If you didn’t, my name is Danny from Pan Am.” I forgot the names our pilot said when we touched down La Guardia Airport in New York. But I won’t forget the humor that I and the 2 British guys on… [Read more…]

While disappointed with the news that Kobe Bryant would not play for this year’s All-Star game, having seen the most boring 3-point shootout and Slam Dunk contest, and the not so good seat added to one of the reasons why I didn’t buy the jacket in American Airlines Center during the first 2 nights of… [Read more…]

New Year’s Resolution? Personal Upgrade? Settle Down in 2010? Retire from Corporate Block? Start a New Business? Connect with Outliers? Transplant and Liposuction? Go Global? Dream Big? There’s nothing wrong about dreaming big. Big LCD TV. Big Bike. Big Car. Big House. Big Boobs. And you need to have a Big Pocket to get all… [Read more…]

San Beda high school batchmate Noel Pacampara has been living in Canada which I won’t tell since when. He took me to some places which he thought might be of my interests. But before that, Noel brought me to this place called Ravisoups. I don’t remember where exactly this one of the most favorite restaurants… [Read more…]

I missed the flight to Toronto on September 27 via Korean Air when Metro Manila was hit by the strong typhoon Ondoy on September 26. My sister had to rebook me for the following day flight with same details. Thanks to my cousin Jocelyn Lucero-Leong and her husband Tony who picked me up at the… [Read more…]

In my 1-click thought, the following are different types of digital photographers: 1. Hobbyist. He doesn’t care about the expenses. Investment in photography blocks his mind. 2. Professional. He considers digital photography as a source of living. 3. Pretender. Self-proclaimed expert. He pretends and thought he knows everything about digital photography by showing off his… [Read more…]

No autograph signing! No photo opportunity with him! They said it’s not part of the contract. But lucky are those involved in the real action. They are the event hosts, the Gawad Kalinga Sagip children, the little kid (with the dad) and the girl who personally received from Kobe the shoes made for outdoor, the… [Read more…]

More than a decade ago, when you ask some people from advertising agencies if they do handle events, they would proudly respond, “Nope, we only do mainstream”. Today some of these people would sell and say, “Yeah we also manage events, in fact…yadda, yadda, yadda.” That is one thing I learned about being both creative… [Read more…]

I found this from a furniture blog. Snodevormgevers of the Netherlands came up with chairs and tables made of recycled oil barrels. A bit odd idea especially if pressure is taken from environmentalists. I like contemporary and modern designs. The brand is exceptional. It is Beyond Petroleum.

Looking back when I was still your half The image disappears and the feeling pulls down my tears I knew I was talking to you at past midnight While my pillows are restless, I’m handcuffed It took years when I realized that it is easy and risky Yet the burden is light when I look… [Read more…]

2008 BMW 320i and Mercedes Benz C200 are the choices for my second option to upgrade my 2003 BMW 325i. I could hardly find 2007 to 2008 325i (as my first option) with a presumption that only very few people own this type of 3-series and is not yet lined-up for sale as pre-owned. Before… [Read more…]

I was watching game 2 of Lakers and Rockets at the business lounge of Cathay Pacific in Los Angeles airport while chatting with friends on YM, updating my status in Facebook, Twittering about some interesting topics, microblogging about the game, and joking with my friend John about Ruth’s Chris restaurant along Flamingo Rd. in Las… [Read more…]

I am still using the first generation of iPhone I got on September 7, 2007. I decided to skip owning the iPhone 3G because I didn’t really see how I can maximize the speed and function at the same time while the infrastructure in the Philippines is still yet to be compared to like in… [Read more…]

Every year, I buy a pair of shades in the U.S. and I stick to only 1 brand – Oakley. No question about the quality and the brand. It is more expensive in the Philippines and the models are limited so I prefer to reward myself every year I go to the US. In 2006,… [Read more…]
