In celebration of the Halloween, SM Lanang brought us a cute and fluffy event to all dog lovers in Davao City. Me and my younger siblings went to The Dogs in Costume Parade last October 31, Friday held @ the Fountain Court. This was our first and I was really looking forward to it. There were a lot of participants… and dogs of course. They came in different shapes and sizes and it was a cloud 9 feeling seeing a lot of cute dogs around.

Oh come on, let’s be real here. If you’re an adult, sexually active, and you have your parents permission to do so, HAHA! You at one time, experienced one-night stands or has the desire to try it. One-Night Stand is a sexual escapade for both single men and women. One-Night Stands is uncontrollable in some instances. I am not saying this happens to all of us, but it happens to some of us.
There are some rules to consider before you hook up with someone. This is not based on my experience ha! This is based on different stories of some of my friends. #CHOS!
1. NO HOOK-UPS WHEN YOU’RE IN A RELATIONSHIP
- Don’t go out looking for a one-night stand if you are not single! You know it’s not right. I can relate. Hahaha! Kaya andaming lumalabas na mga teleserye about pagtataksil dahil diyan sa mga hook-up2x ng mga taken na yan eh! Again, hook-up is only good for SINGLE men and women. PERIOD!
2. IT’S JUST SEXUAL URGE. NO EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT!
- You have to be sure that you are just doing it for sex! No more, no less. Keep it in mind that it will be a short-lived physical interaction. Keep your expectations low. Wag mag-expect na magiging kayo na after ng sex! Agad-agad??! Ganon?!
3. PRACTICE SAFE SEX
- No glove, no love. Use protection at all times. Girls, please bring condoms too. It’s not just the guy’s job to bring gloves.
4. DON’T GO WASTED
- You need a lot of energy and perfect state of mind while enjoying yourself together. Going out too drunk will dissatisfy your partner. You’ll end up sleeping or worse, releasing everything inside your stomach to the world! Eeww!
5. SAY THANK YOU!
- Don’t go running out after that passionate and steamy sex! (Whew! Ansaveh?!) Be polite to say, “Thanks for the time. I enjoyed it." IF, YOU REALLY ENJOYED IT. If not, you still have to say thanks. That’s it. Girls, you can leave your number. Don’t ask for his. Why? Read RULE NUMBER 2. Guys, please be polite too. Don’t be a douchebag. You might ruin the opportunity to see this hot woman again.
6. GET OVER IT WHEN IT’S DONE
- Kumbaga in layman’s term, MOVE ON. I actually don’t want to add this but this is really important. According to RULE NUMBER 2, you should not be attached to the person you hooked up with. Once is all it takes. Just get over it and forget everything happened.
I hope I imparted good things to you. I’m not saying you should go for one-night stands. This is just my opinion and I want to share tips for those who are into this kind of short-lived fantasies. Just remember to be healthy, be careful, and avoid carelessness. Please don’t ruin your life by making bad decisions because you’re just horny.

My office mates invited me and really pushed me to join them to eat dinner in Cafe Marco @ the Marco Polo Hotel. I was really hesitant since I know it’s P990 per person! I have never eaten an almost a thousand peso buffet noh! Jusko! Anong meron don? Bakit ang mahal? Nahihilo na nga ako sa Viking’s dahil sa dami ng pagkain at sa presyo nitong P800+ per person!
Well since it was pay day, and I really want to blog about it! (Ambait ko lang kasi iniisip ko pa rin kayong mga readers ko. Charot! As if andami kong readers. LOL!) I have decided to join and eat dinner with them. And by the way, it’s my first time to go to Marco Polo. Hihihi!
Of course someone has to make reservations! Thanks to Joni for doing that. (Read my blog about Buffets here para malaman niyo. Hihihi)
We arrived famished after a hard days work. (Charot!) These funny looking staff assisted us to our table near the window or garden something and I realized the place is really nice. “Funny looking” kasi theme nila OctoberFest tapos naka-Irish costume ang lahat ng waiters and waitresses.
We checked all of the food. Here are some snap shots from my phone.
The Main Course Section
Sushi Counter! Yummy!
Drool worthy desserts!
Looks like Minnie Mouse right?! It’s actually a Chocolate Mousse! Pagbasa niyo MOUSE noh? Hahaha! Lakas ko lang mang-trip! Hehehe.
One of the yummiest desserts!
I also tried their soft ice cream. I grabbed a small bowl kasi umapaw ang ice cream sa cone! Ito ang result kung hindi ka marunong gumamit ng ice cream machine. Hahaha! At para di mapahiya, nilagyan ko na lang ng kung anong ek-ek para may design kuno. Hahaha!
I also tried their chocolate fondue. There’s mango cubes, small round pastries, and sliced papaya. I still don’t get it why there’s fruits. I thought marshmallows and pastries lang ang pwede sa fondue.Pero keri! Kumuha na lang ako. Hahaha!
Ito ang reaction ko nung nalaman kong P990 ang babayaran ko. Chos lang! Hahaha!
Here are my office mates

Here’s my verdict.
A dinner buffet worth P990 is too pricey for me. Even if it’s inside a hotel or they have bigtime chefs, the food they serve is not worth the price. I’ve been to a lot of buffet restaurants that’s why I can tell if it’s affordable or not. They serve good food, but not that many. The good thing about Cafe Marco is they serve different kinds of food everyday. The food they serve is based on their current theme. Like the “OctoberFest” theme wherein they serve free beers to everyone. The place is not crowded so this is good for intimate dates. Staff needs to be more accommodating. We need to call them from far away. It seems everyone is hiding! We actually made a mistake in eating raw prawns because there were no staff at the counter. Pahabol! The dessert counter is to die for. Hahaha!

Last 2011, I got really curious about this place. Nadadaanan ko kasi siya going to work. It has a different and cool ambience so it really caught my interest. So when it opened in May of the same year at Torres St., me and my twitter friends visited Green Coffee and boy, I was really surprised!
I can still remember that I used to go there like everyday with my friends after dinner to end the night with a sip of their freeziccinos. Then, it became very popular and they received a lot of costumers until now.
One of the main reasons why I love this place is because it has good interiors. It’s like you’re in an indoor garden. And guess what, they also have an air-conditioned garden! Say whuuuut??? :)
After a lot of visits, this would be the first AND NOT THE LAST review I’ll give to Green Coffee. Here’s what I ordered 2 weeks ago at their newest branch in Bajada.
Mango Freezziccino (P150)
Caramel Cinnamon Roll
Infairness! Naubos ko talaga ang Cinnamon Roll. Because it really tastes good. It’s not really “cinnamony“ if that’s the term. Hahaha! And the nuts add crunch to it. The Mango Freeziccino was light and tastes fresh too!
My recent visit was last night after attending a friend’s birthday party. I went to their Torres branch with some friends and I ordered this.
Green Tea Fine Salt and Cheese (P170)
This is just HEAVEN! Para siyang ice cream! Hahaha! Still can’t get over it. It has cheese on top of a milk tea and you drink it without a straw! So expect that you’ll have a cheese moustache when you drink it. :)
Drinking coffee, milk tea, or green tea or whatever you like can never be this HEAVENly. Yeah I know, I’m still overwhelmed with the Green Tea FSC. Haha! Sorry powwww.
Well, I will definitely come back if I have the time and money, of course! LOL! And I’ve been recommending this to my friends from Manila or Cebu or to anyone who wants a coffee fix.
For me, it’s a bit pricey compared to other coffee shops but it’s actually worth it. They serve pastries and pastas too which is good. But I heard pasta is not fit for coffee? Is it true? Anyway, their staff is so nice and accommodating. Some of their staff who were transferred from Torres St. to their SM Lanang branch still recognizes me! ISN’T IT AMAZING? The Torres branch gets too crowded minsan pag weekends, so you might wanna visit other branches too.
But overall, Green Coffee is still at the top of my list.
Why don’t you give them a visit today to find out what I’m saying.

After a fulfilling dinner buffet at Cafe Marco in Marco Polo, we had a quick tour and shoot around the hotel. With Ayying around, I had the chance to ask him take some ootd shots for me. Since I still don’t own a professional camera, I had to ask a friend who has one to take pictures for me. Sad and funny, right? LOL!

Can you tell if a guy you’re talking to is FLIRTING? I know sometimes it gets very confusing! Some men are so nice and you might think he’s into you but the truth is, he’s just “FRIENDLY”. OUCH, right?
Now, here are some helpful tips to know if a guy is flirting with you.
Sep 30, 2014
For sure naranasan niyo nang ma-pissed off dahil di nakikinig yung taong kinakausap mo, or worse hindi man lang siya interesadong makinig sa iyo! Gusto mo na lang siyang batukan o kaya tirisin sa singit para lang makinig sa sasabihin mo. Lalo na kung importante. Like nung nahulog si James Reid sa Cosmo Fashion Show. Or yung eksenang inamin na ni Rose kay Patrick na siya nga ang totoong Rose at buhay siya. Tapos naghihintay ka ng reply niya. Tapos minsan tatango lang siya or sasabihing.. “Ahh….”
YUNG MGA GANON?! Nakakainis diba???
Pero paano kaya kung sa text, like ang HABA-HABA na ng text mo. Abot ng 5 pages sa Nokia 3310. Tapos ang reply “FINE”?!!! Tapos ngayon mag-iisip ka kung anong irereply. Hangang sa malito ka na lang at mainis. Gusto mo na lang mag-teleport sa kung san siya ngayon at itapon ang iPhone mo sa mukha niya! (Wow from Nokia 3310, naging iPhone. Lupet!)
Pasensya na kung parang gusto ko talagang manakit ng tao ngayon. Hahaha! Anyway, nilista ko dito ang mga kadalasang replies, mapa-text or chat na mahirap replyan.
10. Ganon ba?
9. Toinks
8. Hmmm….
7. Yup
6. Ahh…
5. LOL
4. Hehehe
3. Sige
2. OK
1. : ) (smiley)
Nainis ka rin ba?
Pwede mo din tong gamitin para mainis din sila.
Ganti-gantihan lang! :)

I love the lights. I love the streets.
I used my iPhone 4S in taking this photo with the “Slow Shutter” App.
It has 3 different types of shots. You can choose motion blur, low light, and light trail. In this shot, I used Light Trail. I tried to adjust the light sensitivity and capture duration to get that almost perfect shot. Unfortunately, I don’t have a tripod so it took me some time to get a clear shot. I tried standing up, sitting down, bending, and even STOPPED BREATHING! I also found wires from the billboards at the overpass to somehow bend it and form it like a tripod. Hahaha!
It’s a good thing that there’s no street vendor or “mysterious” people around the area but still I was very cautious at that time.
Well, all I need to do is to get a good tripod and try again! You also have to consider the weather and of course, the location. More practice for me!
Go to the Apple Store now and install the “Slow Shutter” app!

She’s the cutest thing on earth! Storm is the newest pup in Hinggo Nation. She’s a 4 month old Dachshund and she loves to run and play… and BITE! Whew! She’s too cute coz she’s all covered in black fur, that you can’t even tell she has eyes! LOL.
We call her Storm after the passing of our dog Thunder, w/c is a Dachshund too. :) I had to look for a replacement coz it really saddened everyone in the house. I had problems in finding a new one. But I guess Storm is the right one and we know that God planned everything.
Now I realized that having a new dog is very expensive! LOL. She needs booster shots and vitamins, weekly check ups, and meticulous care. I’m glad she’s part of our family now. She gives happiness to all of us.
Welcome to the HINGGONation Stormy!

Last August 28, Thursday, me and my family celebrated my mom’s birthday at Viking’s SM Lanang. This was my mom’s 49th birthday and boy, it was expensive! Hahaha! Few months ago, my mom really requested to celebrate her and Carlo’s birthday in Viking’s. Since she heard there’s a LOT of food there and she finds it fancy.
After a few months of saving… actually I didn’t, I granted her wish and finally she can say she ate at the biggest buffet restaurant in the country, I guess. LOL.
I just wish my Mom good health. That’s the only thing I wish for her every time she celebrates her birthday. I love you Mom! More than anyone else! Mwah mwah, tsup tsup!

The city was invaded during the peak of Kadayawan Festival! Thanks to the wonderful minds of Spectrum Lifestyle Experience, we had fun in Kadayawan Invasion! This was one of the biggest and shall I say, the GRANDEST music festival to hit the city so far this year! I just can’t contain my happiness when I joined the team to make this party possible.
Davao was trending in social media for weeks because of this festival and… some unexpected moments that happened before and during the event. But hey! Can we all just party here???
The coolest thing about this party is that, it is more organized and secured. With all the bouncers, police, and accommodating event staff, you can just throw away your worries and dance with your friends all night! There are also wristbands for you to wear and they serve in different purposes. There’s a Fair Park for everyone who wants to cool down a bit and munch on sumptuous food. Freebies were given away from AyosDito to perk up the party! We also bought these cool neon and glow in the dark paints! Thirsty? Not to worry! They also have a lot of liquor stations! But of course, they were not served to minors. You can only buy alcoholic beverages if you have the black El Hombre wristband.
General Admission is at P350 and the VIP is at P2,000. For some, it was a bit pricy but they just don’t know the perks and freebies if you’ll buy VIP Tickets.
Anyway let’s go to the best guys who hyped the party, shall we? There were ACE RAMOS and NIX DAMN P, baby! Plus my favorite hype man MC PAOLO! And didn’t we tell you that there’s JULIO R too?! He’s too cute and he’s the youngest DJ to spin in the event! How cool was that?
Well, check my photos and tell me isn’t the stage stunning and impressive?
Of course, Team #BoryatNation was there too! There’s Lance, Oscar, and Yumi to party with me! They get perks too for helping me out in advertising this event.
Some guys took off their shirts and I’m glad no gal did the same! Hahaha! Everyone was there to party and enjoyed it with friends and loved ones. That was the main purpose of the event. To give an awesome experience using an awesome kind of music.
I’d like to thank my gals - Kaka Baltonado, Bianca Garcia Dizon, Tynne Reyes and to the dudes Janvie Tiu, Philip Marco Dizon!
I <3 SPECTRUM!
WE WANT MORE!
