My mother’s younger brother had lots of automobile experiences. Although he did not take a vocational course for it, his experiences taught him a lot and he was good at being an auto mechanic. So when my father was still working abroad and things were a lot better for us financially, my uncle suggested to [...]
September 25-27 marks the second F1 Night Race here in Singapore. I heard from my friend who works at the Marriott Hotel that the city is really buzzling with energy. But I’m spending my weekend here in the comfort of my bedroom. I am not really a fan of car racing. I don’t even know [...]
More and more unhealthy food are popping out everywhere. But it is nice to know that more and more people are becoming more aware of the importance of pursuing a healthy lifestyle. I am not wishing to become skinny. I just want to get rid of my flabs. Going to the gym, attend Yoga or [...]
I’m pretty sure I have not taken photos of every art piece along Singapore River. But this one is really unforgettable, unique, and huge! As we were approaching this piece, I kind of felt offended and later on got embarrassed. I thought it was an offensive art because from behind, it is just like a [...]
I have heard about Miami, Florida from the movies for as long as I can remember. But just recently, I found out that there is a Panama City in Florida! After looking through all the photos that I could find in the internet, I added it to my “places-to-go” list. By the way, anybody knows [...]
Ningas-kugon, a Tagalog idiom that means something that is not permanent, usually connotes a behavior or action not meant to last (definition taken from www.seasite.niu.edu). “Ningas-kugon” is how I describe my effort in leading a healthy lifestyle. When I was still in Japan, I felt I needed a fitness equipment because it was cold at [...]
Walking along the Singapore River could also be an opportunity for you to explore some interesting art pieces. I wanted to have my photo taken with these works of art, but people are always gathered around them. I find this one really interesting… This one’s so dramatic and my favorite! Can you please stand aside [...]
The internet has brought about many changes in our lives, both positive and negative. For me, it is one of the factors why I became an anime addict. Animes are but a few clicks away. For some of my friends, it brought about their Facebook addiction! But the internet has helped me a lot in [...]
I stayed in Japan for years but only Ai Otsuka captured the musical fan in me. To me, most of the Japanese female artists sound the same, and honestly (no offense to the Japanese), I don’t really like how they sing – kind of irritating to listen to. I can be close-minded at times so [...]
According to many people, Singapore is a “city of fines” and I agree. Signs like in the photo below could be found in the flyovers and tunnels. Oppsss… someone messed with the sign. Here’s the real amount: If you get caught eating in train stations, inside trains and buses, you might have to pay $500 [...]
If you feel guilty about being a glutton at Makansutra Gluttons Bay, you can just fight off that temptation to sleep after a huge meal by strolling along the Singapore River. I actually didn’t expect much after getting close to the Merlion. But with a couple of friends, I thoroughly enjoyed walking about 2-kilometer stretch [...]
Makansutra Gluttons Bay. Some just call it Makansutra, most people call it Gluttons Bay. It is basically one of the great places in Singapore where you could be a glutton! Not only because of the delicious food they offer, but the price is acceptable even for someone like me. The place made me feel [...]
