It's very confusing, and sometimes embarrassing to tip when your not suppose to and not tip (enough) when you are. I've lived in the Philippines but I've worked for a hotel and a restaurant in US. In the Philippines, tipping is...

sanelaze Where are you from? wow the tax is quite high.So even in hotels, they dont tip? But i guess that means the servers have fixed rate salary which is why they dont care whether they give great service or if they connected well with their customer. Just a thought....

sanelaze I understand what you mean. Sometimes those people who give you service forget that tips is voluntary. it has to be earned and not demanded. It's not their right to get it. Unfortunately, since a lot of people (in the US) give tips, esp to restaurant...

The football team of PH has become stronger these months. Thanks to Phil Younghusband and his fellow players. More Filipinos are inspired to learn football because of them

sanelaze I guess that's true. But you have to admit, since there's not really a lot of people who play football here, I guess it's easier to find good football players with Filipino blood in other countries. It's a start though. Hopefully in the future, they will...

I've been living in apartments for the longest time. I like big cities and I like being close to places. This means living expense is pricey. I want to invest in either condo at a prime location or a house in the outskirts of the...

sanelaze Thanks for sharing the pros and cons. I guess Ive been used to being in the city and I only get to enjoy the 'quiet' life during vacation at my parents' house in the province. Right now my main requirement for my home would be a stable internet, cellphone...

sanelaze by travel center, did u mean travel agencies that will give u a package of rooms, activities, and transportation? it's easy to get the best deals when u've been to the place once. but in our case, we have no idea what to look for or what to expect so it's...

sanelaze Ive never been to Glan. This is in Saranggani Province, right? How's the transportation to reach this beach? The usual downside of a 'pristine and untouched' island/beach is that it's not too easy or convenient to go there.

sanelaze Thanks for this info. I appreciate it. I'm considering the models you suggested. I guess investing on the lenses is just as important (if not more). Yes, that's one of the things I like about the 5DMarkII.

sanelaze Hi. It's my pleasure to share my insights on this. Your post caught my attention because I can relate to it. I guess you got burned out with your work because it's very monotonous. Yes I understand. Actually, I was at the right place and at the right time...

I thought it would be very interesting and enlightening to share our stories of when we met our significant others and why the moment was so special. My story is still a conversation starter, and here it is: I met the man who...

sanelaze The feeling right before you have to part with your loved one is the worst! Actually I prepared myself for the worst when I went to the airport. I thought we were breaking up for good! I guess we never got around talking about our situation all throughout his...

sanelaze Wow, I'm glad things worked out really well for you! I guess there wasn't an instantaneous attraction (at first) between you too. But I suppose working in the same company and seeing her everyday made helped develop the relationship. Same thing with my...

I know that it's quite morbid, me talking about death. But let's face it. It's a reality we have all too face. The question now is have you done everything you want to do before you hit the bucket? I'm sure most of us still has a...

sanelaze Thanks. Actually I forgot another activity I did a year ago - Travel my city like a tourist. I seem to have taken my city for granted. I've lived here for more than a decade and I usually pass by the tourist spots without much interest. I know where they are...
