Real Leaf Supports Dinagyang Tribes
Dinagyang Festival in the province of Iloilo was being celebrated every 4th Sunday of January in honor of the Sto. Nino. It was also hailed by the Philippine Department of Tourism as the best tourism event for the years 2006-2008, thus making it a hall of famer.
This year’s Dinagyang (2010) was my first experience of the festival. I was born in the neighboring province of Iloilo but had missed the chance to witness or rather join the festival in its previous celebrations. Together with 3 other colleagues from work, we booked our flight and our accommodation as early as October of 2009. We booked early as advised by friends who are from Iloilo.
The Dinagyang parade was so enjoyable, the tribes are so admirable, despite the heat and the crowd, we can see that they are happy as they perform. The tribes’ grandest costumes and props are indeed amazing.
Good thing for us that despite the heat of the sun we have a refreshing drink with us…
And huh..!?! Real Leaf Green Tea supports Dinagyang Festival, what a very good cause to support our Country’s tourism.
And here, caught in the middle of the parade…thirst quencher!
And here is DAGOY, the Festival’s official mascot, he’s so cute!
Great beach experience!
Most awaited date, June 20, 2009! It’s been 2 years of waiting… i have always dreamed of returning to this wonderful island, and that day has come.
From a stressful month of preparation for an external practice review, i have rewarded myself with the most sought trip, the BORA experience. I really love Boracay for its fine sands, beautiful sunset, great watersports, lively nightlife and a serene morning, all in one place.

Seeing Merlion
Had a training in Singapore last April 22 and stayed at The Ascott Residence in Finlayson Green. The training lasted for two days but we stayed there for 5 days. Enough time was spent roaming the streets and malls of Singapore. Before getting there, i already had a clear idea of what Singapore looks like, based on the stories i heard from friends and colleague that has been and is there, and they were true to their stories. Singapore is a very systematic country, very clean and very expensive. I admire the people behind their system.
Just a minute walk from our hotel is the Merlion, a must see in SG.

Coron Dabarkads
Oct 2008, a zero fare was offered, AGAIN, by Cebu Pacific Airlines, with fly period of Jan-Mar 2009. I instantly thought of CORON, another dream destination of mine. Right at the very moment I saw the advertisement, I asked my colleagues if they want to go to CORON, and without second thoughts they said yes, and a minute later, I booked 8 people bound to Busuanga for Feb 28-Mar 2, 2009. A day passed and the 8 became 10, a week later we are 14 and a month before the dream date we are 17, a great number, five of whom booked flights from Philippine Airlines. Read more…
For The First Time – my review
Posted by maj on Aug 31, 2008 in Treats
For the first time, I will openly criticize a movie from star cinema…
I always admire Star Cinema for producing quality local movies. And as much as possible, I watch them. There would be times that I feel unsatisfied with the movie, but still there will be reasons to make it worth my time and money… until for the first time, I watched For the First Time starring KC Concepcion and Richard Gutierrez.

Wensha Spa Center
Posted by maj on Apr 16, 2008 in Treats
I heard this spa center from an officemate, so together with friends we went to this place to treat ourselves, we went there wednesday night. The place is good, and since it is near our place too (home and office) it is quite a convenience. I used to have my spa experience at City Lifestyle Spa in Quezon City, quite far from home and work, but its worth the travel as the place is good and affordable, but knowing Wensha is better.
