A day at the Quezon City Circle

December 29, 2009 / BY ria
As a resident of Quezon City for more than 10 yeas, I've witnessed the transformation of The Quezon Memorial Circle (the city's major landmark and monument, and also where the former President Manuel L. Quezon's remains are buried) from a place where you can jog, exercise, ride and rent bikes, go picnic with the family, and eat, to a veritable theme park. Today, the Circle sports more than just clean and spacious picnic grounds, but...

Fashion Watch: Vanessa Hudgens

December 26, 2009 / BY ria
I like following certain Hollywood stars for their everyday fashion (read: jeans and shirt). One such person is half-Filipino Vanessa Hudgens. I like her style because it's casual yet feminine at the same time. She can glam up a pair of jeans with high-heeled pumps or wedges and a really nice blouse. ...

Move over vampires, werewolves, and wizards - the Shadowhunters are here

December 22, 2009 / BY ria
Yes. Move over Edward, Jacob, Bill, and Harry there's a new hero in town. The Shadowhunters from Cassandra Clare's Immortal Instruments saga are here. I've been in a book slump over the past couple of months until that day when I visited Powerbooks in Trinoma.

No luck. Next year perhaps?

December 22, 2009 / BY ria
My infamous "luck" in raffles and contests is more evident during the holiday season. After all this is the perfect time for raffles and contests because everyone is more generous. And this year, I've joined more contests than I did last year. There's the moleskine contest by Avalon, which I did not win. Then, there's the company Christmas party, where I did not win anything, AT ALL (and the company gave out more than 70...
