When I first got into Facebook a year ago, I was simply amazed by its revolutionary design. Unlike its more locally popular predecessors- Friendster, Multiply and MySpace, among others- Facebook had an amazing deal of customization available. You can add whatever components you want onto your page, share pics, notes and all sorts of media, […]

Renzie Goes To Kawayan Cove
I just came from this most awesome place in Nasugbu, a coastal municipality in Batangas, about 2 hours south of Metro Manila. Nasugbu is known for its white-sand beach resorts and tropical forests, which therefore makes it a fairly popular summer destination.
Kawayan Cove is an exclusive residential seaside community which covering about 68 hectares worth of prime beach-front real estate. You have to give credit to the developers for easing in the village among the groves of trees and bamboo, making it as close to the nature as possible by working with the natural contours and landscape.
The result was simply spectacular. You have family-friendly amenities and wide-open spaces inobtrusively tucked into lush the Batangas forest, with minimal disturbance or alteration to the topography, and a population density well lower than the typical high-end developments in the general area.

Anyway, I realize I have a lot to write about this particular visit, so I hope to churn out all my posts over the weekend. You’ll definitely be reading more from me about my visit to Kawayan Cove. Highlights of my Kawayan Cove adventure:

Seems everyone wants to know when I’m going to get married. For those of you who have been following my goings-on these past few weeks, […]
It’s Called Repetitive Strain Injury, Man.
I’ve had the misfortune of not being able to type for more than a couple of weeks. The doctors said it’s RSI, or Repetitive Strain Injury. Or Cumulative Trauma Disorder (CTD). Or Work related Upper Limb Disorder (WRULD). Whatever it is, the joint area that connects my right pointy finger with the rest of the […]
Barongs Are Cool!
No, seriously, they are. Made of light, translucent embroidered material- usually of hand-loomed fiber from pineapple leaves, abaca, silk organza or banana- the traditional barong tagalog is worn untucked, like a coat dress of sorts, over a light undershirt. So in a warm and humid tropical country like the Philippines, the ingenious design of the […]
