Holy Week Getaway Up North

I am excited for the Holy Week break because my friends and I agreed to spend the holiday on the road. We will head up north of the country and go hiking on the famous Banaue Rice Terraces.

Well, I have to pack things up in a while as we will be leaving later tonight. I have to bring a lot of summer clothes because right after we've been to Banaue, our final destination would be a beach somewhere in La Union. We will also go to Sagada which is known for its breath-taking virgin caves and pine forests.

Well for now, I have to window shop online for some new men's clothes that I will need for the holy week. I have this all-time favorite clothes store that has categorized items and a style guide, making it easy to look for clothes. What I like about it is its user-friendly interface which makes it easily accessible for anyone regardless of age and internet know-how.

I have to go now and prepare. Have a meaningful Holy Week everyone!

Luxury Apartment Search that Features Lux Score

Finding an apartment or condo unit can be one of the most exciting things when moving to a new location but it can also become stressful at times because there are instances that looking for the right one is like searching for a diamond in the sand. However, due to the advent on one of man's greatest invention - the Internet, finding an apartment is no longer a burden. There are actually a lot of search portals dedicated to finding apartments all across the country.


One of the sites that I go to when searching for Luxury Apartments is LuxuryApartmentShop.com. Everything you will need is there; from pricing to photos and ratings. The website also offers a lot of features like floor plans, interactive maps and even the availability of the unit that will make your search easier.

I tried searching for Memphis Luxury Apartments and I was satisfied with the results because I was given quite a number of apartment choices with different price range so I can manage my budget. Search is also convenient because you get to see pictures of the place.

If you are planning of moving, I recommend that you have a look on LuxuryApartmentShop.com.

Manila's Victims of Misfortune

I am now officially staying here in Manila. For how long? I don't know. I am with a couple of friends who took advantage of a cheap condo unit here in Pasay city. In fact, we just moved in last Monday and we're still in the process of fixing things up. Luckily, Internet connection installation is so quick here via Wi-Tribe 4G Internet of Liberty Networks that's why I was able to blog things up as it happens. :)

Yesterday, I decided to go to the grocery store to buy snacks and something to prepare for dinner. It's my first time to walk around the streets of Pasay and I am still coping up with the milieu.

While walking, I saw a young mother feeding her two kids with spaghetti leftovers (photo courtesy of my Sony Ericsson K810i camera phone). I was finally convinced that life is much different here in Manila than in the province of Pampanga. It's a fast-paced environment which leaves you no choice but to strive on your own and work harder. Everyone you meet in the streets seems like 100% of their minds are occupied with thoughts, worries and responsibilities. :(

Poor and malnourished families, especially the children are everywhere begging for food and money to people they meet. I can't believe how the government is dealing with this kind of situation. I think, the authorities should focus more into providing and promoting education to the Filipinos more importantly to the poor communities. Send everyone to school (along with a feeding program) and I am sure we will see progress in the next few years or so.

Tony's Pizza Lets You Bowl for Free

I woke up earlier than usual this morning probably because I still am not used to our new place and new room. So what I did was I looked for old DVD movies in my bag and decided to watch some good-old films on my PC. Good thing I have frozen snacks in my fridge so I don't have to call for delivery early in the morning. I make sure that I have food, specifically pizzas inside my fridge so I can instantly prepare something every time I feel like eating. That's basically the main advantage of frozen pizzas over the usual delivery because it is way cheaper and faster as it saves you money and time.

Speaking of pizza, Bowling fans will surely love this special promotion from Tony's Pizza as they are giving away free bowling coupon each time you purchase specially marked Tony's Pizza. There are actually a lot of pizza flavors to choose from. Check on the site to know exactly how you can take advantage of the bowling coupon.

Invite your friends now to buy Tony's Pizza and bowl for free! Tony's Pizzas are perfect snacks for family recreation, aside from bowling like watching movies at home, picnic at the park or just simply for your everyday pizza cravings.

Secrets To A Successful Business

Engaging into a business is risky and aside from experience, one has to have an in-depth knowledge about the ins and outs of managing it. I have here some tips from an interesting article about how to win with business.

The most important thing when engaging into something is that you are having fun - you love what you are doing and you enjoy it. Most of us think that money is the lifeblood of the business so they keep on focusing with it not knowing that there are still some other aspects that need attention.

Learn to treat your customers the way you wanted to be treated if you are in their situation. Customers are partners, not clients. First and foremost, your business breathes because of your customers, so return back the favor by giving them great service.

Your business is operated by human beings and not by machines so take care of your people and treat them as your family, however stay professional. A successful business is rooted with deep personal relationship among the staff and the owner.

Every business is different and not every success can be based by the book. We should learn how to use our human instincts by being sensitive to what surrounds our business.

Start Planning Your Summer Vacation

Jules, Jamie and me at Cyma in Greenbelt

It's summertime once again here in the Philippines and I am sure that most of us are already looking for some new places to hang out and enjoy the heat of the sun. A couple of my friends are actually asking me out for a vacation late this month or early next month. We don't have any ideas yet on where to spend the summer vacation but no doubt, they are eager for it.

Some are suggesting going out of the country and trying something new like Asian or European tour. Are they serious? I mean, I have to work even harder and do more part time jobs so I can save a lot in the next few weeks.

Aside from this vacation plan by the way, I am actually saving for November to witness the Festival of Lights in Thailand.

If you are planning a vacation, I suggest you check on Qype because it's the easiest way to search for the right location where you want to spend quality time either all by yourself or with your family. Restaurants are one of the most popular searches in the site because it even offers personal reviews and suggestions. I tried doing searches on Restaurants London and Pubs London and I was surprised on how easy the website can be customized according to preference.

Check on Qype and start planning your next out-of-the-country vacation now!

Co-parenting Tips on Divorce

Divorce is one of the most complicated situations that some couples have to undergo at one point in their relationship. It becomes even more complicated when kids start to get involved. It is very hard for the couple to help their kids cope up and go on with their lives as if nothing happened.

Because of this timely dilemma that each divorcing couple experiences, proper planning and management must be conducted to keep things running smoothly between parties involved. I have here a very helpful tool from co-parenting-manager.com. The site is focused in dealing with divorce. It has calendar planners/organizers for both the parents and the kids. The planner can be used in documenting and voicing out the important events and significant situations during this hard part of the process.
