If you're looking for a much easier way of getting a taxi in Metro Manila, I think we found what you need. GrabTaxi is an app-based service that allows you to book a taxi directly through your smartphone.

I know that a lot of people have this dream of owning their own company --- of being the 'boss'. I have the same dream. I have been in an employee in an advertising agency and I have been a product manger in a corporation (until now). I have also been employed under my family business and have started my own businesses as well. With all these various experiences, I have seen people succeed and people fail.

I'm always for people, organizations and groups who aim to promote the Philippines. Manila Reviews was created for that purpose --- to tell people about everything good about the Philippines. I recently came across the Why We Love Manila Contest. I salute Erika Hoffman and Feanne for coming up with a contest like this, and we at Manila Reviews fully support you in this endeavor.

Every year, during the Christmas season, we are given the chance to thank those people who have made our lives brighter. Looking back, we remember the first time we thought of Manila Reviews. It was when a friend tweeted that she wanted to go abroad to find a better life. With each post, we want to prove that this is not true. The Philippines can also give each of us a unique and fulfilling lifestyle. It has been a great year for Manila Reviews with more and more new readers and supporters each day. We have all of you to thank for making us one of the top Lifestyle sites in the country.

It was a great evening. It was too bad that we had to leave early. For those Manila's Best Kept Restaurant Secrets (MBKRS) Fans, here is part one of the winners. We actually just got to stay to see these categories. Don't worry, we will post a part two of the winners as soon as we hear word from MBKRS Organizers.

One of this year's prestigious events in the food industry is the Manila's Best Kept Secret Awards. It will be this coming November 24, 2010 at the Enderun colleges. Vote for your favorite restaurants as there will be a Peoples Choice Award Category.

On November 24, in the new Enderun Colleges Culinary Center, authors Ines Cabarrus and Elian Habayeb, in association with Citibank (launching their new Citi Dining Privileges) and San Miguel Lifestyle Brews (San Miguel Premium All-Malt, San Miguel Super Dry, and Cerveza Negra), bring you the Manila’s Best Kept Restaurant Secrets Awards 2010. The MBKRS Awards 2010 is patterned after USA’s much loved Oscars – a panel of 80 judges, all renowned in the restaurant industry and related fields, vote and collectively decide who will win in 30 award categories

Are you looking for a bazaar? Thinking of already going shopping this Christmas season? Over lunch, I planned to go to the Megamall Sale, but I retracted due to the heavy traffic. It's that time of the year again when all roads to the malls are filled with early Christmas shoppers.
