Here’s a confession: Although I moved here in Manila permanently in 2008, I’ve NEVER been to Binondo. Is it a big surprise or are there more residents in the metro who can relate? I’ve read some of the blog entries of my blog friends and I envy them because they seem to achieve that ultimate gastronomic satisfaction whenever they do…
In many Spanish speaking countries the biggest highlight of the season, especially for children, as this is the moment when they get presents is not the 24th or the 25th of December, but the 6th of January. According to the Bible story, that was when the 3 Wise Men or the 3 Kings from the East, namely Caspar, Melchior and…
Aside from the traditional year-ender posts where most bloggers summarize the highlights of their year, I am also thinking of other ways to share my travel blogging adventures in one post. Thanks to Nomadic Samuel for nominating me in participating the A-Z of Travel, I am now here trying to reminisce the years of traveling and hopeful to travel further!…
I am one of those employees who would pass through Greenbelt, Landmark and Glorietta in Makati not to shop, but to kill time or rush for the MRT travel schedule. That was three years ago. Whew! I seldom visit Makati nowadays not unless there’s an important meeting or event. Yesterday, Eric of Byahilo.com informed me that he’s in Manila for…
Hey, look at the sun! It is a a bright and sunny morning in Banaue. I’m thankful for the weather because of the unpredictable rain downpour days prior to the trip. When Dominic confirmed through his contact in Batad that there’s nothing to worry about, I knew that we will have a safe journey. For me, one of the highlights…
So you’re off travelling, on holiday or moving permanently to another location. What do you do in terms of learning the language? Is a handy phrase book going to be sufficient? Do you need a quick crash course in interpreting or can you simply use your phone and translate what you need via the internet as you go? With so…
Nobody needs to be reminded of the importance of food during the holiday season. Every culture and every region has its local specialties. What is typically eaten in France during the holiday season? There is no better place than the City of Light to take a look at what people living in Paris apartments eat during the Christmas season. Traditionally,…
Thinking of celebrating Christmas with the family in a much ‘cooler’ place? Do you want to escape temporarily from the busy city of Metro Manila? Taal Vista Hotel in Tagaytay City is a favorite destination of families and balikbayans who wants to enjoy a cool weather while staring at the beautiful view of the Taal Volcano. Like what I mentioned…
The Taal Vista Hotel is one of the most popular destinations in Tagaytay City not only because of its grandeur accommodation and weekend buffets, but it is also known to have a nice view deck of the Taal Volcano. Perfect for photo moments! I’ve been to Taal Vista Hotel in 2007 with the family and balikbayan friends. We enjoyed the…
CELEBRITY TRAVELS is the newest segment of SENYORITA.NET. It is no secret that I really love writing about Filipino celebrities (just check my personal blog and my weekly contribution for Pinoy Parazzi). For this blog, I will not ask them about their latest showbiz-related projects or the juiciest intrigues i can possibly squeeze from them. Instead, I will ask them their TOP THREE(3) FAVORITE PHILIPPINE…
As Christmas is one of the most important Christian holidays and Rome and the Vatican are the center of Catholicism I wonder what special customs the Romans have for Christmas and how people living in Rome apartments spent the holidays. Generally the celebrations are still kept very traditional. The family gathers for a feast and to spend time together. Every…
The Banaue – Batad Trip is one of my travel goals for this year. My interest to visit Ifugao started when I had this one conversation with Dominic or most widely known as Dong Ho in the blogosphere. He is the blogger behind Escape Islands and most of his weekends are spent either trekking to different mountains or simply bumming…
