August 23rd, 2008 After a lot of dilly-dallying, I finally pulled the trigger on the Asus EEE PC 1000H. As I mentioned on my comparison, it seemed to me that it is the best of the current crop of netbooks.

Loboc Children’s Choir
Loboc/Loay River Cruise – Cruise along the river while eating buffet lunch. Along [...]
August 11th, 2008 Amarela is one of those boutique hotels that have mushroomed all over Bohol. It started off as a vacation home with a few rooms and has since become a hotel with a wing housing a lot more rooms. But because it started off as a vacation home, it has that homey feel to it. The [...]
