The Birds of IRRI Photo Exhibit : Revisiting Los Banos, Laguna

Wazzup Pilipinas!

An email coming from an IRRI staff excited me that day because it was another opportunity to get out of Metro Manila and visit Los Banos, Laguna. My first visit there - attending a Hackathon - gave me great memories, and I'm glad the IRRI people remembered me because I would like to have beautiful memories again.

Without any hesitation, I immediately replied and eventually we were able to arrange for transportation to take me and a few of my Wazzup Pilipinas family of bloggers to IRRI's Photo Exhibit of Birds.

That's me! Eventhough the invite was just for me, I always make it a point to share the experience with my peers. To share the blessings with my fellow bloggers who would also like the opportunity to witness a very noble program ran by great people who aim for the greatness of our country.

Ystilo Salon : Time for Some Hair Pampering for the Wifey

Wazzup Pilipinas!

It was again that time of the month when my wifey needed some pampering....and what else would be equally great or better than shopping, but to go on a beauty make-over.

We only have one name to go to for that particular requirement and that's at Ystilo Salon, partially owned by the popular celebrity Vina Morales.

What's great about the salon is that it has very friendly staff that's willing to help you out in your make-over decisions. They would advise you of the proper and more appropriate treatments that would be perfect for you.

Budget-wise, the salon charges very reasonably - right-smack to what we can afford.

Lime by Chef Arch: Fabulous Street Smart Specialties

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I really never expected that there could be a place that would surprisingly serve street-smart gourmet dishes that's fit for a king but priced for the average citizenry.

Chef Arch's Lime (Streetfood na Pina-Sosyal) exceeds all expectations, similar to my experience at their Kanto Freestyle Breakfast where you'll be in extreme awe once you've seen and ate the meals that comes out of their small kitchen.

Its a feast that's comparable if not totally beats anybody else with a fancy ambiance and prime location.

It seems like just a neighborhood family business, which is true, but wait till you taste their specialties, and you'll probably wonder "Why on Earth are they still stuck in this place?"
