Alay Lakad 2013

Image
I again walked to Antipolo Cathedral on the eve of Good Friday, and although it was my fourth consecutive year to do it, it was the first time that I did it alone. I made the vow to do the Alay Lakad annually back in 2010, when my Catholic soul felt somehow ‘fulfilled’ after doing it for the first time. We were a group of ten back then, all first-timers, and today I am glad that majority of those I went with that year still continue to do it every year, even if not with me anymore. I found myself with a different group of five the following year, although my ‘kid Friday’ back then went with me, of course. And then my Alay Lakad company became less every year. In 2012, I just went with a friend, and then this year I was alone. It was fun. I was alone, but then again not. From the Immaculate Conception Parish in Pasig City, I walked with a throng of strangers. They were in groups or pairs; some walked with their families, others with their friends, and then some were with their rel...

Airphil Express rebrands as PAL Express

Image
Further strengthening its alliance with Philippine Airlines (PAL), Airphil Express is undergoing a major transformation by improving and aligning its service standards and product offerings with the flag carrier. Reflecting this change, Airphil Express will rebrand itself as “PAL Express” effective March 15, 2013. All Airphil Express planes will use the familiar “sunriser” PAL livery and logo on its tail and fuselage. Side by side with the rebranding will be a total enhancement of customer experience as PAL Express ensures that customers receive the best quality service that each carrier has been known for. With the rebranding, PAL Express passengers will now enjoy complimentary snacks, drinks and reading materials on board and other amenities previously enjoyed only by passengers of full service carriers like PAL. Passengers of PAL Express can also earn miles through their membership in Mabuhay Miles. “It’s not just a name change, but an alignment of two standards into one...

Goodbye, Google Reader

Image
This was what welcomed me when I decided to read some feeds from Google Reader just now: Bakit kaya? Baka next thing we know, Blogger na ang mawawala. Now the big question is, what can I use in replacement for the Google Reader that I have used for almost five years now?

This scene from Oblivion makes me miss climbing. So much. My last climb was on January 3 with K when we did Maculot Traverse. I think I have to pack my ever dependable Hawk daypack soon. Follow me on Facebook and Twitter .
