When in Manila, most of us unfortunately don’t have the luxury of buying a high-end car out of our own whim. But that is definitely not the case for eight-division World Boxing Champ Manny Pacquiao. He recently rewarded himself with a $225 thousand dollars worth of brand-new gray Ferrari 458 Italia and he uses the baby to roll around Los Angeles in style as he goes to the Wildcard Gym for training, weeks before his big [...]

When in Manila, how would you like to spend your Friday nights? Here in Metro Manila, a popular option would be going to comedy bars. Nothing beats having a good laugh with your friends/colleagues along with a few bottles of beer or whatnot somehow releases all the stress and fatigue that has built up over the week. It also puts a good end to the work week and preps us for another hectic week ahead.

When in Manila, what are the things that are worth saving for? Could it be a brand-new mobile phone, a Christmas shopping spree, or a car perhaps? Let me give you a recommendation: How about saving up for a Katy Perry concert on January 2012? Do I hear a yes or a resounding YES!?!

When in Manila, start your year with a bang! Party hard. Eat all those tempting Media Noche dishes, who cares if you gain all those extra pounds from holiday weight. Load up on the booze!

When in Manila, I can’t help but notice the situation in the cemeteries and memorial parks whenever All Saints Day comes. It’s almost the same thing every year: heavy traffic, trash scattered around the premises of the cemeteries, comfort rooms which are rather uncomfortable, etc. On the other hand, I think Undas 2011 is quite better as compared to the previous years. But despite the efforts of authorities to make our cemetery visits most convenient, [...]

When in Manila, one of our favorite Halloween pastimes is sharing horror stories. They can either be based from personal experiences, or passed on from generations through word of mouth. Of course, these stories wouldn’t be complete without the subjects, which are supernatural beings. Some of them may be a myth, but some may be true. Only one thing’s for sure: they make our sleepovers, campings, and casual hangouts totally exciting. And now, let me [...]

LOL), we were actually kids glued in front of the television with our mommas and daddies, eagerly anticipating for the now-defunct Magandang Gabi Bayan Halloween Special.

When in Manila, what does it take for a person to be considered as cute? I’ve heard of a few definitions, even those that I don’t necessarily agree upon, like “ugly but interesting”. I think a better definition of the word “cute” is, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, “attractive or pretty especially in a childish, youthful, or delicate way”. Here’s another one from urbandictionary.com, (I don’t know if you’d count it as legit but…) “More [...]
