Ever seen a Jaguar drift? Jaguar Drift Fest / Monster Energy

Never ever try drifting without proper training. Believe me. Did that before and won't do it again. I want to learn though. On a different note, I've always been telling my wife that if I was in the US, i'd apply and be part of their highway patrol group. :)

Anyway, here's a Youtube video of a brand-spanking-new Jaguar XKR drifting here in the Philippines. Wow. Just wow.

Yoogane (Manila) New Must-Trys

Yoogane ad in the Korean newspaper

My first blog about Yoogane was nearly 2 months ago. I visited them on the very first day they opened in Il Terrazzo mall in QC. I had no complaints the first time and I'm glad to say that my second visit remained that way. In fact, I was surprised that they added new offerings. I've posted the updated Yoogane menu at the bottom of this blog.

Europe Shopping Tips - Designer Goods and Tax Refunds

Took photo of this nice painting in Paris

Another blog my wife made. So proud of her! I hope these tips help you prepare for your upcoming shopping trip to Europe.

Let's admit it ladies -- one of the reasons why we look forward to going to Europe is because of shopping. They always say that once you see something you really want, you don't even think twice as you'll only end up regretting it once you're back home. An example was a men's LV belt we saw in Venice. Of course, people would expect everything to be more expensive in Venice. There was a belt that costs 215 EUR and it was the belt my husband was eyeing. We didn't buy it because we said that our last stop, Paris would surely be a lot cheaper. Lo and behold! That same belt in LV Champs Elysees was 285 EUR! Oh well, didn't purchase that belt and saved the money instead.

Bitdefender Internet Security Review (Philippines)

The only "paid" antivirus I use prior to this was AVG Premium. Well, I decided to buy AVG before because I was using the free AVG version and decided that I try to upgrade it to premium. After it expired, I tried Bitdefender because my friend highly recommended it and so far, I am happy with it. It's been almost a month now.

Surprisingly, after installing Bitdefender Total Security, he found some malicious files that AVG premium wasn't able to detect. That itself is a very good indicator that this antivirus software is indeed better than the previous one I used. Also, I noticed that it is almost invisible. I hate it when my previous one updates in the middle of a presentation. The pop up is annoying. Very annoying. Using Bitdefender, it almost never bothered me.
