Sometimes, reporting for work in Manila depresses me. All the beggars, street urchins, traffic, dirt. It doesn't help that they've elected the same man to rule the city for the next six years. Just when I thought I've given up on Manila comes a place like Tambayan. Did they say this is a hostel?? I like places with character and Tambayan Hostel has got it right down pat. This forms part of the lobby... The wooden staircase leading to the rooms with the stained glass piece is simply eye-catching - The rooms in Tambayan Hostel range from P500 a ... Continue Reading...

Velvet Friends Cat Cafe in Blue Bay Walk
Pet cafes have been sprouting in Manila. We simply had to visit one since my youngest child, Lucia, loves animals.It's the best way since am resisting against owning a pet at home. We only have one helper and it's not fair to the pet if it feels neglected, in one way or the other. While there are dog cafes in the metro, we chose to visit a cat cafe first due to its proximity to our place. The interiors of the Velvet Friends Cat Cafe in Blue Bay Walk Macapagal immediately warmed me up. The little corners here were too cute to be true :P The cats, of ... Continue Reading...
The Green Sun Hotel, bistro & event venues
I've attended quite a few events at the Green Sun in the past year.For those of you who don't know about it, it's this HUGE block of a building in the quiet part of Makati that's the Don Chino Roces Ave. (formerly Pasong Tamo) extension. For a long time, this used to be the headquarters of the Solid Group until it was "repurposed" recently by prominent architect Gil Cosculluela. All of 20,000 square meters, I always look forward to visiting the Green Sun because it is an oasis in the city and hosts some of the most interesting contemporary art in ... Continue Reading...
KL Tower Serviced Residences in Makati : a review
Warning: more Legaspi Village, Makati posts ahead. I've been loving this area since its relatively quiet streets (on weekends especially) present a less frenetic side to Manila's financial district. I get to think how lucky are some friends to live here. But since some of us can't be in this center of town, a savvy way is to live like a Makati local by checking into a hotel, even for just the weekend. That's what we exactly did at the height of typhoon Lando. The KL Tower on Gamboa St. Legaspi Village is actually a residential condominium but several floors are ... Continue Reading...
