A few blocks away from our hotel, I found a leaning tower of Pisa in the quiet road of Woodbine, Ontario. I see it everyday on my way to the office. My heart jumped when I saw the name – Frankie Tomatto’s, and I know it equates to Italian. I got even more excited when […]
It’s been two weeks since we landed back in Manila, but I am still feeling lazy and hesitant to get back to reality. Do you also feel that after a vacation? In our case, we didn’t go on a holiday. We traveled more than 17 hours, crossed timezones and got all frozen in Toronto, Canada […]
Before you grab your luggage and head to the airport, please take time to read these travel tips I learned from travel buddies, online sources and from my previous travels, experiences and mistakes. I was supposed to write this list last month, especially that we had new travelers on board.. BUT, crazy schedule didn’t permit […]
My room is overflowing with shopping bags and good finds! Now my worry is if my baggage allowance can accommodate the shopping bags, and whatever are inside the shopping bags! Before I start sharing my good finds, let me just share the 10 things I learned from shopping in Toronto. 1. Sales Staff Just Love […]

Boots. Fur. Beanie. Scarf. Those words spell Fall and Winter. And I think I am lucky to be in this part of the world now where I can really wear Fall/Winter clothing! Yahooo! I was freezing when I first arrived in Toronto, Canada; but we are adjusting to the weather and even went out of […]
Bonne journée à partir du Canada! I am hoping my French is correct. I am not speaking French yet (although I know some phrases – thank you to my Foreign Language professor in College!). I am hearing and reading French and English in this country where I am typing this blog entry now. I have […]
I love writing about my hotel experiences, as much as living that experience. A few of my good experiences was in Hotel Kempinski in Jakarta, and Holiday Inn Express in Beijing. Staying in a hotel gives me that feeling of luxury. It is nice to treat yourself to a lavish staycation once in a while. […]
Does anyone remember Pupung? He just sent me a note and he wants to get featured in my blog. Just like Kengkoy – as Pupung would be the next featured comics character for Solo. Now, don’t tell me that you are too young to know Pupung. You are missing a lot of good times and […]
It’s rainy and cold. How nice it is to spend the night with Carlo Rossi? Oh, that’s not the name of the guy I am seeing.. If you love bold, full-bodied, and something to put a little heat in this cold weather, you need Carlo Rossi. And I mean, wine. Wine is always present in […]
