Palawan has long been known for its crystal blue waters, powdery sand beaches, and unspoiled landscapes—the setting of the new Sheridan Beach Resort and Spa outside Puerto Princesa City.
There was one thing we weren’t doing for sure. We were not going to see the Great Wall sandwiched between stalls selling stuffed pandas and postcards of the very thing we want to see live.
As I took the Air Asia flight to Kota Kinabalu for the weekend, I had no idea what to expect from this small city in Sabah, Malaysia. All I knew was that I was very excited to discover a place and to immerse myself in the local culture. Little did I know that three days would not be enough to see this beautiful city.
It was on the night that Joey Mead and Ian King were married in Manila that I run into a celebrity I was such a fan of. The said celebrity, however, is not from the Philippines, but is based in Singapore. The funny part is that he has more Filipino fans than Singaporeans. Confusing.
Komikon was a blast! I was there practically the whole day. Comic conventions used to be a hit-and-run affair for me—I’d just come in, buy a bunch of comics, and leave.

A friend would relate on Twitter how her kids are addicted to Smurfberries. An “A” in school was rewarded with berries, pocket money on a trip was not spent so it could be used to buy berries instead. I was getting curious about how yummy these berries must be, until I discovered that Smurfberries was the currency for a Smurfs game, and that you exchange real cash to get Smurfberries which you can only spend in the land of Smurfs. That’s absurd, buying berries that you can’t even eat!
