Olango is a group of islands under the jurisdiction of the City of Lapu-Lapu in Cebu. It’s a major tourist destination and best known for its wildlife sanctuary. One of the things you can do when you visit the island is to go biking and tour the barangays, while appreciating the beauty of nature around. [...]

Trying Out Goodwill Coffee

Fitz — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:56:15 +0000

Despite the proliferation of milk tea places in the city since last year, drinking coffee remains part of the daily habit for many Filipinos. Personally, I don’t think I’d be able to get my day started more efficiently without having a good cup of brew in the morning. Recently, I was able to touch base [...]

Old San Juan Resort, Restaurant & Recreation

Fitz — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 18:50:04 +0000

I recently went to San Juan, Batangas and found myself going to this place for a quick lunch. San Juan is a small, quiet town, that’s why it’s surprising to find a fancy place like this there. Old San Juan Resort, Restaurant & Recreation is an old house along Javier St., Poblacion, San Juan, Batangas. [...]

Fitz — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 20:07:21 +0000

If you’re in the mood for some Korean food at Bonifacio High Street, then you should check out Sariwon Korean Barbecue. I’m not a fan of Korean food, which makes Sariwon all the more special, because I actually enjoyed dining in the restaurant last time I was there. Sariwon High Street prides itself for having [...]

Have You Heard About Deal Market?

Fitz — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 16:38:35 +0000

I have a lot of friends who enjoy buying vouchers from various group buying sites in the Philippines. However, there are times when they suddenly realize that they don’t really need what they just bought, or they don’t have the time to claim the vouchers anymore. When that happens, what do you do? The solution [...]

Before I tell you my thirsty travel adventures in Taipei, let me first give you a glimpse of where we stayed during our tour. And that is in FX Hotel Taipei located along Nanjing East Road Branch, within the Zhongshan neighborhood. Anyway, FX Hotel is a 4-star hotel, which I think mostly caters to business [...]

The year 2012 has passed and I couldn’t help but notice how very little I’ve written. And yet, I know most of you are still here, patiently waiting for a new update – and for that I thank you. This coming 2013, I resolve to be more active here again, and do my best to [...]

The Thirsty Blogger Goes To Taipei

Fitz — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 15:18:48 +0000

The past week has been very busy for me because AirAsia and AirAsiaGo invited me to join their Taipei FAM Tour in celebration of their new Clark-Taipei route. So expect to read about my trip in Taipei for the next few weeks here. Aside from Taipei, AirAsia Philippines also had their inaugural flight to Singapore [...]

Marciano’s is best known for their New York style Italian cuisine, boasting of mouthwatering pizza, pasta and steak offerings. The restaurant’s owners, friends and other invited guests were there that night [...]

New Yoshinoya Comes to Glorietta 1

Fitz — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 19:04:15 +0000

Yoshinoya is one of the few fast food Japanese restaurants that I keep coming back to because of their best-value beef bowl or gyudon. And recently, the restaurant has decided to rebrand themselves and bring to Filipinos something new yet familiar with the opening of their latest branch at the second level of Glorietta 1. [...]
