Ulayaw @ Gilligan’s Island MOA

It’s always a happy occasion when a friend comes home from abroad. That’s what happened last Saturday when Ice treated us — by us I mean her Ulayaw family — to a very long dinner at Gilligan’s Island at SM Mall of Asia. It’s the largest EB we had so far, 24 attendees as I [...]

Miss You Like Crazy Is Too Long

No, I am not one of the thousands of Filipinos who are crazy over this latest film of Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz (JL). Though I wanted very much to like Miss You Like Crazy and leave the cinema smiling, I am sad to say that I was disappointed in the film. As my [...]

ABS-CBN’s Harapan: The Vice-Presidential Debate

I just finished watching ABS-CBN’s Harapan: The Vice-Presidential Debate. (For some reason that I couldn’t remember, I missed the Presidential Debate.) I had fun watching this particular debate not only because the candidates provided the amusement themselves, but also because it took me back to my college days. I think my very first comment was, [...]

Alice in Wonderland Isn’t so Wonderful

Last Saturday, I and a couple of friends went to see the much acclaimed “Alice in Wonderland.” I wanted to see it personally because of Johnny Depp, who played the Mad Hatter. I knew he would be brilliant and he was. As expected. Director Tim Burton certainly made the movie an eye candy. Alice Kingsley’s [...]

Ulayaw @ Gerry’s Grill Trinoma

Since Ulayaw started, my weekends have been filled with EBs and meetings. This weekend was no better. On Sunday, March 7, we held a dinner EB for Fireonfinger in Gerry’s Grill in Trinoma. I arrived an hour late (had to visit my newborn niece in Marikina and bring my duaghter to UP Village) so everyone [...]

In Review: Agora

I love historical dramas so my friend suggested that I watch Agora, a film starring Rachel Weisz (one of my favorite actresses). The film focuses on the life of Hypatia (Weisz), a well-respected philosopher, astrologer, and mathematician in the city of Alexandria in 4th century BC, and her quest to solve the mysteries of the [...]

Night Out at Dencio’s Bar and Grill Araneta

Last February 26, me and my friends from Ulayaw held an eyeball party for a chat friend from Bicol who was stopping over here in Manila from Davao, where she attended the National Schools Press Conference. The eyeball was an astounding success. Eighteen people attended and more than half stayed around and checked in at [...]

Free HOTSHOTS flamed-grill burger meal

If you’re tired of eating the same burger all over again, I suggest that you try HOTSHOTS. Their Crispy Burger Melt is unlike anything I’ve tasted before and I’ve tried a lot. Their cheesy spaghetti was a hit with my daughter Gabby. By the way, if you want to get free Hotshots burgers, join their [...]
