The Drive and Grind

Singapore. The Lion City I had the chance to do a quick tour in Singapore as the ticket I booked for my Bali trip includes a 5.5 hours layover in the Lion City. So instead of just waiting in the airport for my next flight, I opted to roam around the busy streets of Singapore.  Merlion Park w/ my epic fail face It was my very first time to travel out of the country. I had a little "bobo moment" with the SG immigration. I didn't fill up the embarkation form as I was under the impression that I won't need to as it's just a quick layover. When it's already my turn to be interviewed by the officer, he had me go back to the line and fill the necessary information needed. As he stamped my passport he said "pasaway ka kuya." Haha.  Me, Ericson, and Jawo Marina Bay Sands I was lucky enough that I have friends working in Singapore. They have offered to tour me around the city. Ericson, fetched me at the Changi airport. He ...

The Beach on a perfect weather. Nasugbu, Batangas. Last October 25 we headed to Canyon Cove for our much awaited team building. Straight from our shift, we traveled all the way from Taguig City to Nasugbu Batangas which took us about 4 hours, including the stop-over in Paseo Mall in Laguna for some shopping.  We originally planned to conduct the team building in Pico De Loro but ended up in Canyon Cove. Canyon Cove Hotel and Spa is pretty old already. But they are currently doing some maintenance to improve its interior.  Panoramic View of Canyon Cove Hotel and Spa The time we arrived at the hotel it was already lunch. The hotel's restaurant is being catered by Max's. Guests are not allowed to bring in food at the hotel. Their service was not of hotel quality though. After finishing our food, we checked into our corresponding rooms. We rested for at least half an hour and then we prepared for our "Team Amazing Race." Room 332. This room can a...

Jason Mraz - Philippines . Last 22nd June 2014, Pinoy Mrazians went back to the earth and planted trees at the Binhi ng Kalayaan and Quirino Grandstand at Luneta Park, Manila. 37 trees were planted to celebrate Jason Mraz's 37th birthday (June 23).  Jason Mraz - Philippines This is the 2nd year Mrazians united to support one of the advocacies being promoted by Jason Mraz, which is environmental protection by doing tree planting activities. Jason and his team have noticed and appreciated the efforts of Pinoy fans.  Amazing Mrazians The success of the event was overwhelming. I never thought that there are fans who are more than willing to dedicate their time and spend their spare amount to support this effort initiated by the Jason Mraz - Philippines team. It is not easy to organize such event. We had to secure permit from the National Parks Development Committee of Luneta Park and they have specific requirement in terms of the trees to be planted. On our case...
