Se7en Game Tables

Badminton is a sport which I considered as one of the best forms of exercise. Playing badminton keeps me feeling well, strong, motivated, enthusiastic and young. It helps me to ward off stress, enjoy a better sleep and increase my self-esteem more. Unexpectedly, it introduced me to poker! It is sufficient to say that friendships [...]

Outdoor Furniture

If you’ve been to Dumagute’s Santa Monica Beach Resort or Dauin’s Bahura Resort and Spa, you will agree with me that the management has done justice to the pool. The surrounding pool area is decked with pool loungers, reclining armchairs and matching round tables for guests to enjoy the outdoor sun and scenery. One though [...]

One Rainy Day

Today was a rainy day coupled with gust of winds that can easily fold your umbrella upwards. Overhead was a sunless sky, muffled in clouds that were heavy with rain; underfoot, a watery road; blowing over it, a wind that felt as if it would take your skin off (or so at least that’s what [...]

Neighbouring Asian countries such as Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok, and other international destinations like Kota Kinabalu and Kaohsiung are now very accessible and affordable because of [...]

Peeper Protection

Lately, June mornings have blinding sunlight as early as 8 AM. I’m not complaining about experiencing and/or knowing the assurance that our sun is still there and has been performing as required. I regret though not buying one of the vintage sunglasses, which has a nice fit around my eye and nose bridge areas, displayed [...]
