6 Blogs to Visit: Happy Blog Day!

They say August 31st is a Blog Day! So instead of talking about myself, my experiences and frustrations, or my Great Buys (I have one for this week!), or my new food discovery or event coverage, I would blog about other blogs that I read and follow - and some are not the most popular blogs (just yet), but they deserve a space in my humble blog.I felt that these blogs are just so precious like a secret ingredient in a recipe, or a trade secret that...

Beyond the Box Opens

Beyond the Box. True to the name of the new store, the launching itself was beyond what you would expect from a normal launching. It is not just about ribbon cutting, but a party at the second floor of Resorts World with live performance by a band which uses a box instrument called"cajun" - it has strings inside and produces great sound. Now that's thinking beyond the box!  Read more...

Ruthilicious Loves DKNY Be Delicious Perfume

I feel naked without perfume. That's a fact. I can leave home without money, but not without perfume. And although I wear perfume as if it is an underwear, I only stick with one scent - Kenzo. It is the scent my high school friends remember, the scent that my mom knows I wear, and the scent that stays in my S.O.'s bed - and yes he likes it.I am just glad that it is one of the cheapest brands in the market -which most of the time is on sale....

The Great Dole Cook-Off with Chef Jeremy and Bloggers

During events and product launches, PR companies always come up with exciting activities for the audience, that made me always "positively RSPV-d" the invitation. A good example is the recently concluded Great Dole Cook Off held last August 26th in the Magsaysay Institute for Hospitality and Culinary Arts.After a little introduction about Dole and its products, it is time to heat up the event with a cooking demo with Chef Jeremy Favia. If you are...

Tupperware Link-Up Party: Tupperware Offers Products for Every Member of the Family

Who didn't grow up with Tupperware? All of us know this brand since we were younger. Our moms love its products. It's in our kitchen and our lunch boxes, and oftentimes in our school - because Ms. Teacher was a dealer of the Tupperware brand ;)Tupperware is once again back on game with not just the usual kitchen containers but with other products for every member of the family. Tupperware held its Tupperware Link-Up Party last Tuesday, August 23rd...

Consult Traffic Navigator for Traffic Situation!

I was invited to the event in Resorts World last Monday and the bad weather got me worried on how I could get to the venue. My only means of transportation going to the area is taxi, but by experience, it would take 2 hours travel time from my place. So I have to check the Traffic Navigator to see how bad the traffic situation is (as expected). I saw in the site that the roads are marked red. It would look like a parking lot with impatient drivers...

Electroworld Refused to Do Business With Me and My Credit Card!!!!

I am fuming mad!!! I was supposed to be blogging using a new netbook - an Acer Aspire One with nice specs (as I have consulted with and approved by Mhel of Certified Foodies). I thought it is a good buy. I have been planning to buy a netbook and thought I need a new gadget to bring back my drive for blogging (it may not be obvious, but I was too lazy to blog recently). I was so excited, that I even agreed to extend its warranty to 3 years. Plus,...

I Want Banana in the Morning or Night, Everyday to Keep Me Up All Day!

Working in a night shift means "morning" typically starts just when about the sun goes down. It is not only difficult to know when to use a night cream and day cream in a skin regimen, or how frustrating it is to miss on night outs, and movie premieres, but it is most challenging to get peaceful and quality sleep and recharge after a tiring day (or should I say night) just when half of the world is sleeping.One thing is for sure, whether it is morning...

Panciteria San Jose is Now Comida China de Manila But Not in Manila

We travelled 5.5 hours from Manila to China to taste good, authentic Chinese Food (but guess, just like in Manila not all Chinese restos serve tasty food - will talk about it more in another post). I live in Manila which is too close to Binondo, yet I haven't experienced yet the thing they called, Chinatown foodtrip. That's the irony of life, you don't tend to visit the places near your home because you thought that they would always be there - but...

Solo Features Kengkoy and Launches 3rd Model Online Search

I got a note yesterday morning telling me that Kengkoy wants to get blogged and featured in my blog. It is no joke. Although Kengkoy is known for being amusing, and his name was later on used as an adjective to describe a witty and funny person (and yes, the adjective Kengkoy was oftentimes used to describe me!).I am not certain if the youth today know Kengkoy?! But there is no need to go to the National Library to search for old clippings of comics....

BUM Equipment Asks You to Reveal Your Dark Side

You have read the title right. Now the question is, who is into Cosplay?! Cosplay or Costume Play has been making a trend nowadays (or maybe, it has been a lifestyle to some and I only get to be close with the people who love Cosplay just recently). Although I am not a fan of Anime and Manga (or cartoons), if I would be compulsary asked to do it, I would do Wonderwoman. *wink* *wink  But here's good news for those who are into Cosplay(ing) and...

Ruthilicious at the Blogapalooza!

I have to stop what I am doing and post this important message.Ruthilicious is officially part of the Blogapalooza! What is Blogapalooza? It is not an event wherein bloggers would come together to break (or make) a world record of live blogging (but that would be nice, eh?), or when bloggers would declare their love for their most loyal reader.Stay connected for more updates or better click the image below. :) If you are a business owner, or an...

Great Buys of the Week: Sale Items from H&M (Beijing)

Some few weeks ago I felt tired of blogging and social media that I couldn't even start to blog about my favorite things and most exciting experiences I had. I didn't blog for a few days and even felt too lazy to attend events. My routine last week is go to work, work and work, sleep during lunch break, work and work, then go straight home and sleep some more. Thank you to my blogger friends for encouraging me, and giving me tips how to get the passion...

Bar Dolci Offers Good Coffee and Not Just Gelato

Last month, we received an email from our "boss' boss' boss" advising us that napping in the workstation is no longer tolerated. He noted that if he sees anyone sleeping in the workstation, he would personally wake the person up and ask him/her to transfer to the quiet room. The quiet room or the sleeping room is like a nursery room - with its glass panels and glass door, with no light on and comfy Lazy Boys and couches where employees sleep and...

First Things First: HYD Designer Contestants Gear-Up for their First Collection

Don't we get all excited about the word "first?". It relates to history and making history. Do you remember that during school days, our tests usually asked for the Firsts? Like who is the first blah blah.. When was the first blah blah.. This time though, I am not going to ask or release a test for the readers. I just want to share with you that the Hot Young Designers Contestants are now working on their first collection and it would soon be released...

News, Companies and State of One's Life

With so much issues surrounding the countries - like unemployment and poverty, it is good and comforting to know (and be reminded) that I have a job and I get my monthly salary (without any delay), enabling me to enjoy life from the simplest pleasure of having coffee at work to taking leaves and exploring cities on another part of the globe. At times I want to scream and/or post a rant about how hard and brain-turning my task is, but I realized, people would kill to have my job. I have a supportive boss, a company which supports diversity and individuality,...

Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank, Paris Hilton in Manila and Other Thoughts Before Bedtime

Before I hit the bed (and probably watch movie online), I just felt the need to blog! I am two hours behind my schedule (yes, I made a schedule for today's to-do list). Picassa crashed down and I couldn't finish putting watermarks in my pictures. So I had to uninstall and re-install it. Twice. So thank God, I am done doing the watermarks and would just upload the pictures in Facebook tomorrow. Sharing this pic taken inside one of the temples in...

Mercato Centrale Delivers At Home!

Whenever I would call a food delivery hotline for new restaurants, the very first question I would ask is if they deliver within Manila. I live in a place where traffic and crowded best describe the place. I don't have worries calling the usual fastfood deliveries with its 8888 and 9999 numbers as I know my pizza, chicken and burger would always come on time. So when I received an invitation to try out the new delivery service of Mercato Centrale,...

Fitness First New You Achievement Awards 2011

Few days before my vacation, I was invited to the Fitness First New You Achievement Award Gala Night at the Unilab Bayanihan Center. The event has a theme of Mardi Gras, and everyone was at their best - ladies in long gown and gents were in black suit. I actually love to see my blogger friends in suit and all made up. True to the theme, Mardi Gras (which means Fat Tuesday), the culminating event aims to focus on saying goodbye to bad habits, and...

Thoughts After Vacation: Back to Reality

[Blogged Offline at 11:00 PM August 9, 2011] Back to work. Back to reality. I am typing this in my notepad as I don't want to access blogger at work. The people in the office had been so kind to me that they allowed me to take a week of vacation despite critical month, with my back up completing the tasks I am required to accomplish. So after a few smokes and chitchat with my co-workers, and the much awaited pasalubong giving, I scanned my inbox and it was loaded with new mails. The system welcomes me back and asks me to turn off my out of office...

No Facebook and Gmail Access

I am here in a beautiful place where temples are just stunning and grand, and I meant to share them with everyone but I don't have access to social networking sites and even my mails. It looks like my accounts had been temporarily turned off because the sites recognized that I am accessing them from a different location. I feel so disconnected to the world, despite the fact that I am here, exploring cultures, people and other areas of the world. I miss reading updates, checking status updates, liking photos, and comments, and just seeing notifications...
