In 2005, I was able to set foot in one of my dream countries, Japan, and one of my dream cities, Tokyo. "Lost in Translation" had quite an effect on me and I was more than happy to absorb Tokyo's glittering lights, even though we didn't have much of a night life to speak of. My pics of this trip was also misplaced in another Flickr account and it was only recently that I found it. Picture quality isn't so great either. Around this time, I was still lugging around my first digital camera which was a Kodak Easyshare (officially stolen). Still, they're good enough ... Continue Reading...
LP 52: Paboritong Litrato (Kalikasan)
Mahirap ang tema ng Litratong Pinoy ngayong linggo na ito kasi kailangang pumili ng paboritong photos. Mahirap kasi halos apat na libo na rin ang mga larawan ko sa Flickr, at ang iba namang paborito ko ay hindi na inabot ng digital age. Katulad ng mga coup d'etat nung late 80s at ang pagguho ng mga gusali sa Baguio. Kasagsagan pa yun ng aking mga coverage sa dyaryo. Sayang di ko iningatan kaya nawala na ang mga yun. Ipapakita ko na lang ang ilang pictures sa mga paboritong lugar na napuntahan ko sa Pilipinas. Kung lalabas lang din tayong mga taga-Maynila ay masasabi ... Continue Reading...

Countries where the Philippine passport can take you, visa-free
A few of my girl friends who are married to foreigners have told me, not once, but a number of times that they will adopt their husbands' citizenship when the time comes, if only for the chance to change their passport.According to them, travelling between countries is a hassle when you're holding the Philippine passport. Visa and immigration officers tend to give one a hard time, a sad fact of life that comes with being the citizen of the Third World whose enterprising countrymen can come up with anything - from fake LVs to fake documents. Yes, including what am ... Continue Reading...
The airline wars: PAL or Cebu Pacific?
Over at Plurk yesterday, I asked my friends which airline they preferred - Philippine Airlines or Cebu Pacific - and the ensuing thread got a few interesting answers.Let us attempt to point their differences, one by one: Fares CebuPac: Cebu Pacific's aggressive marketing makes it appear that they're the budget airline to beat. Promos for seat sales are announced almost every week. There was only one time that I availed of their zero fare, and that was unluckily when Typhoon Milenyo struck. Ticket was non-refundable. Since then, I haven't booked for a CebuPac ... Continue Reading...
