Sizzling Plate in Baguio


If you happen to visit Baguio try Sizzling Plate. They now have 3 branches; one in SM, one in Abanao, and the main branch right in the heart of Session Road!

My favorite here is their Grilled Porkchop, much like the most affordable amongst the plates in their menu. At 121 pesos (as of June 2013) you get a soup, a big slice of Porkchop, a cup of rice, French fries, string beans, and an optional achara. Free iced water!

Sometimes when I'm really in a budget, I get their spaghetti for only 50+ pesos!

Service, ambiance are also their plus.

Travel Books


I was able to grab a few travel books from BookSale this week. The thick ones are 20 pesos and the booklet type like the one shown above is 10 pesos!

I'm not sure though if they are old old but nonetheless they are good reads and good find for its price.

I hope to visit Peru and the ancient site of Machu Picchu. Maybe a tour of South America! Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires. See Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Macondo. Galapagos!

Ok maybe in my dreams but who know eh!

Fruitshake in Boracay


When in Boracay don't forget to try Jonah's fruitshakes! They're really refreshing. I guess that's because coming from the warm and salty beach, what's better than a cold and sweet drink?

They have lots of flavor available. We have tried the mango-banana, mango-avocado, and banana-chocolate flavors. Also, you get an option to add milk on your shake.

My tip is opt for dine-in because the take out container is just a small plastic mineral water sized container, while the dine-in shakes are serve in large glass.

If you're hunger they have burgers and sandwiches. They're heaven too!

Jonah's Fruitshake is located in Station 1 near the iconic Willy's Rock. Check out the photo.

NAIA Terminal 3


It's my first time to use NAIA Terminal 3. I guess it's newly built judging on its modern design. It's comparable to other airports abroad that I have visited. Sadly, I can't say the same for the domestic airport (the so-called NAIA Terminal 4) nor the NAIA Terminal 1.

Waiting areas are comfortable, with TV screens (and there's a game now between Miami and Indiana), and washrooms have paper towels!


And the much needed AC outlet to charge our battery-draining smartphones while waiting for our flight.

Thoughts: I guess one of Cebu Pacific's selling point is being stationed at NAIA Terminal 3. Next time I'll make sure to booked my flights from Cebu Pacific. I have tried Zest Air before and they fly from the domestic airport. It was a horrible experience, say 5 hour delayed. And there's not much amenities to make my travel convenient. Although flights are a bit cheaper but you get what you paid for. Lesson learned.
