Short shorts

As I rode on my Breezy wheelchair, it occurred to me that I haven’t mentioned how it was able to withstand cobbled walks. It gave me no problems at all during the travel. On the other hand, my wheelchair whose tires are similar to those of rubber bikes always has problems with its bearings. One [...]

Singapore Airlines

Singapore Airlines gives good value for money. Maybe even beyond. Aside from going the extra mile for me in terms of wheelchair assistance, SQ gives its passengers no reason to be hungry. Food is served at constant intervals, drinks even more frequently. And drinks here don’t just mean water and juice, but also softdrinks, beer, [...]

Odds and Ends

Craving burgers but too far off from the nearest Sango (it being in Power Plant – Ortigas is nearer but parking is difficult), we settled for the burgers in Shoppersvile. While on the phone with the girl in charge, I asked what else they had. She offered tuna croquettes with sidings and chicken croquettes with [...]

Aga Muhlach on GMA7?

Dolly Ann Carvajal wrote thus on her column today, 26 October 2009. That’s super great news. I only hope that GMA has a good comedy or drama series for him rather than a fantaserye.  I didn’t watch Dyesebel religiously, Darna even less so. Mulawin too.

New entrees in Pepper Lunch; Balducci in Eastwood Mall, Wilcon Builders
