I have gotten numerous requests to post this, so once and for all, here it is. These Brazilian guys regularly play Futsal beside the Capoeira area at Club 650. If you’re actually interested to work out though, Club 650’s got badminton, futsal, basketball, table tennis, and of course, Capoeira. Club 650 is located along Libis, Quezon […]
or You Suck at Looking for Vacation Houses It was a 4-day weekend and my dad and I have planned this family trip weeks ago. We wanted somewhere near, not too expensive; some place we can relax even if it rains. I think it was my dad’s assistant who did the googling. She suggested we […]

I’ve Got Pot from Vigan
One of the things I was able to try for the first time in Vigan — making a pot! As part of our one-day tour around Vigan and Laoag, we went to GR Jars Pottery. One potter can make over 200 of these a day.

A one day tour around Vigan and Laoag is like browsing through pages of a history book. Just to give you an idea of what’s there to see, I’d like to share some of the photos I took of buildings, museums and old things from our tour a week ago. Having stayed in Fort Ilocandia, […]
My mom comes from an Ilocano clan, but for some reason I don’t remember ever going to Vigan when we were younger. I have often envied the pretty photos of its streets, buildings and calesas so it’s pretty exciting that I can now share my own. This is from Calle Crisologo — one of the […]

The Best of Laoag: Fort Ilocandia
With much luck, I had the opportunity to visit what they say is the only 5-star resort hotel in the North of Luzon — Fort Ilocandia. It isn’t peak season this time of the year so there weren’t a lot of guests around the huge resort. And of all the guests we were with, perhaps […]
Sinha Bahia Capoeira had a demo class at SMX last Saturday for the Sports and Fitness Expo 2011. We were sponsored by a certain “VIBRAM Five Fingers” — I mean, what the hell is that? It doesn’t sound so sporty to me. So anyway, I found out they were actually shoes. And if you ask me, […]

Cartimar: The Divisoria for Pets
If Divisoria is for clothes and Dangwa is for flowers, Cartimar is the shopping complex for pets. Yes, pets! And you might have heard that this place is oftentimes raided for illegally selling endangered animals. Name them — monkeys, snakes, birds, spiders, turtles, all these wild creatures and more. It’s like a zoo, except you […]
I’m sure that when you hear the word “pole dancing”, a lot of questions come to your mind: Do they play Bon Jovi music in class? Do they dim the lights for a sexy effect? Isn’t that supposed to be an all girls class? Tonight we found out that almost everything we thought about pole […]
So I’ve been in and out, in and out of this world (among others), but today I declare myself officially back! And like your favorite superhero, I decided I’d dive from the ceiling and fly in with a grand entrance… Except I couldn’t, but I managed to make a graceful landing. I guess that would […]
