We only stayed overnight and went to Mt. Malasimbo for the festival in the evening so we only bought the one-night pass. But aside from the ticket itself, going to Malasimbo means having to pay for travel and accommodation at Puerto Galera. Here’s a list of things you need to consider when budgeting for Malasimbo […]

Stoned at Malasimbo
MALASIMBO 2013 – It’s been a week since and I’m still raving about this charming 25-year-old singer, Joss Stone, one of the main performers in this year’s Malasimbo Music Festival. I wasn’t even a fan prior to hearing about her scheduled performance, but I’ve heard good stuff about the festival itself so I made sure […]

Norah Jones Before I Die
There are only a handful of people and bands in my “artists to watch perform before I die” list. And yes, this very short list includes Norah Jones.
Norah Jones performed at The Star Performing Arts Centre in Singapore just last night, February 27, 2013. Friend and I had the best seats in town. Front and center – close enough to see her pores. No, I’m kidding. But here’s a sneak peek – Norah Jones singing Lonestar.
It’s still the month of hearts, so I hope you could forgive me for the cheesy opening photo. Also, this is my very first How To ever, so forgive me for all the silliness.

I would never have heard of it, except that apparently, since November 15, 2012, it’s been here in the Philippines at The […]
The Hanoi experience wouldn’t have been complete without my random observations. Bear with me. Or not. These were just taken from my 2012 moleskine.
Staying in An Hung Hotel in Hanoi, Vietnam was not a choice. Our Hanoi escapade was a package we got from Groupon Philippines. For only PHP 6,250 per person, we booked for a 3D/2N trip, inclusive of accommodation at An Hung Hotel and a one-day cruise in Ha Long Bay. We stayed an extra night […]
It takes a bit of research actually learning about Vietnam, especially if you’re travelling without a tour guide. In Trang An, our tour guide left us with the boatman – he knew absolutely no English. He never talked to us, except for those (not so) rare times he had to tell us what not to […]
Despite language barriers, we understand each other through smiles. And the smile of this man who rowed for us for hours in Trang An with a poker face, is one of the highlights of this part of the trip to the north of Hanoi.
