                    [Summary] => 
There’s hardly anything to dislike about Japan. I was one of those who, after booking the cheapest roundtrip tickets to Nagoya last year, fell hopelessly in love with the country.

                    [Summary] => 

Nothing beats the simple yet ingenious mixture of shaved ice, milk and sweet toppings in satisfying the Filipinos’ craving for cold desserts. To most Pinoys, a long hot day would not be complete without a tall tumbler of halo-halo, mais-con-hielo or saba-con-hielo. 


That’s why it’s no surprise that Ice Monster became an instant hit when it opened its first shop three years ago. "We believe that Ice Monster hit the Filipino taste instantly because it’s similar to what halo-halo is all about," says Gerard Lim, owner of Ice Monster.

                    [Summary] => 



Cyndi Lauper revisits the songs that made her a star with The Body Acoustic. You all surely remember Cyndi.  Her first album was titled She’s So Unusual and she really looked the part.  She is not so unusual these days anymore though because girls today are dressing and are doing their hair the way Cyndi did then.  But unusual or not, Cyndi’s music is as exciting as ever.  Proof is here in The Body Acoustic.

The year is not yet over and unbelievably, we have already had Andy Williams, The Cascades, Paul Anka and would you believe, The Four Aces! There are more slated to come before 2006 bows out. Maybe it is indeed time for some sounds and sights that are new and different.

Is this really api as in the Filipino api, I wondered. And it was! The cut even boasted of a rap in Tagalog. Well, it turned out that one of the members of the Peas is a Filipino who is mighty proud of his heritage and makes it a point to hark back to his roots while creating big-selling music.
