In the spirit of this coming Holiday Season, I would like to tell you about a very special lady; the likes of whom make this season more worth celebrating. She’s so beautiful that she has two beauty titles: Ms. Young Philippines 1981 and Binibining Pilipinas Universe 1985.
Although she already feels “jurassic,” (her words, not mine: ), she may be the most beautiful woman you could ever lay your eyes on. She’s Joyce Burton-Titular. (more…)

Today, going green or being eco-friendly is no longer a matter of choice, it’s a matter of necessity. Nature’s growing unpredictability has made many individuals and companies realize that if we are to sustain our society for generations to come, we must treat nature and earth’s resources with utmost respect.
Fortunately, many real estate developers have caught on and have seen the importance of building projects that are sustainable. Thus, their emphasis on green building designs and construction.

What started as a mere curiosity to list down the many condominiums that I see being advertised everyday in the newspapers turned into a full-blown project – a directory of condominium projects all over Metro Manila. (more…)
The broker/agent of the future has to be smart and very capable of using technology… You have to keep up with your clients who are extremely savvy. They have more information now than they did in the past. And it’s harder for a broker/agent to be successful when their clients are smarter than they are.

What started as a casual research to list down the condominiums in various stages of completion in Metro Manila, turned into a project that will become an added feature of this website.

The similarity is in the extent of ownership. (more…)

This is about people who are in desperate straits but remain optimistic of someday owning their houses. Theirs is a community that has become so blighted, but its people choose to stay and at the same time, hope that things will become better someday.
I didn’t originally intend to blog about this place when I took pictures of it during one of my bike rides a few weeks ago.
