The Best Cocktails Can Be Found at Buddha-Bar Manila

Buddha-Bar Manila is part of a global chain of high class restaurant-lounges located in cities such as Paris, Dubai, and New York. I was pretty psyched to find out that they had just opened their 13th Buddha Bar in the world - and right smack in the middle of Makati, no less!

Kicking Off 2012 in Boracay

I ended up going to Boracay earlier this month on a whim because the New Yorker's plan of going to El Nido didn't quite work out, and I was itching to get out of Manila myself (one of many reasons). I really didn't think the New Yorker was serious when she casually mentioned she had wanted to go to Palawan or Boracay. I obviously thought wrong.
