T.E.A.M. Bee: February 2009

Philippine Tarsier, Bohol

There are many spots in Bohol where you could see a tarsier. We went to the spot where the Loboc River was. According to the caretaker, there are 14 tarsiers in their vicinity but there are a lot in the sanctuary at the top of the mountain.

Prony

Albur is the short name for Alburquerque, which is a 5th class municipality in the province of Bohol. It is the home of the longest and the heaviest python in captivity.

Sandugo Monument

This is one of the tourist spots in Bohol.

According to the history of Bohol, The Sandugo is a blood compact, performed in native-Bohol style between the traveling Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna of Bohol on March 16, 1565 in the Philippines to seal their friendship as part of the native customs.

Reception Area

Tagbilaran Airport

Tagbilaran Airport is the only airport serving the province of Bohol, which is situated in the city of Tagbilaran.

There are only three airlines that have daily flights from and to Manila. These are Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines and Zest Airways.

Craig David Live in Manila!

Craig David is an English R&B singer-songwriter. He was the singer behind the songs "What's Your Flava?" and "Fill Me In."

He will be performing in the Philippines on Friday, March 27, 2009, 8pm at the Araneta Coliseum.

Mochi Choco Balls

After finding some stuff to eat in our refrigerator, I found this chocolate in a box, which I have never seen and tasted before. So I tried it.

I was curious because the first mochi I have tried was the mochi of Magnolia, which was an ice cream candy.

Sizzling Pepper Steak, Glorietta 5

When I told Karlo that there is a new restaurant beside Sbarro in Glorietta 5, which is the Sizzling Pepper Steak. He asked me if it is the same with Pepper Lunch but I told him that it has the same concept but they are totally different. I'll will tell you why later.

After work, we agreed to have dinner to this place. I already warned him that there will be a queue because the last time I ate in Sbarro, the queue was terrible. But maybe it was just a temporary one because it was indeed a new restaurant in Glorietta and people are just curious of what this new restaurant can offer.

Wendy's Baconator

After all the rumors here in the blogosphere about this latest addition to the Wendy's family here in the Philippines and craving it for almost 3 weeks, I had a chance to try this kind of sandwich.

According to Wikipedia, the Baconator is one of Wendy's late-teen–to–young-adult, male-oriented products.

Summer is near, release your Travel Factor!

After searching a place to go for this summer, I was mesmerized by this website: Travel Factor, which was probably encouraging locals to travel and see the beauty of the Philippines and probably some other places in Asia like Bali. Not only they provide affordable destinations but they organize everything to make it hassle-free for the travelers and opening its doors to other people so that you could also gain friends through traveling.

Pier One, Roxas Boulevard

I haven't tried eating in this place until I have to meet my college friends here after 4 years of not seeing each other after graduation. We are supposed to eat at Seaside in Macapagal Boulevard, but we had second thoughts of eating there and decided to have our get together dinner in Pier One, Roxas Boulevard.

Cafe Breton, SM Mall of Asia

After having dinner with my college friends, we dropped by SM Mall of Asia for some desserts. Everyone agreed to visit Cafe Breton for their crepes. The place was located at the back of SM Mall of Asia near La Mesa Grill. They have a second floor, where we stayed since the outdoor seats are full. There are five (5) of us but only shared for three (3) crepes. We ordered two (2) La Pinay and one (1) Adam and Eve crepes.

Pen Pals, Manila Peninsula

I've heard this big dessert that the Manila Peninsula is serving and really they say that it is good for 6 to 8 persons but who cares if there are only three (3) of us who would like to try and check it out. These happened before Christmas and we are thinking of treating ourselves with a simple dessert we are craving for months.

Focaccia - A Slice of Italy, Makati

Me, Meds and Karlo was planning to try something new for dinner and we've all agreed to meet at the A. Venue because there are so many new food hubs to try there besides making it a new venue for some events.

Eraserheads Reunion Concert!

The Eraserheads was a famous Pinoy rock band during the 1990s. The members are composed of Ely Buendia, Buddy Zabala, Marcus Adoro and Raimund Marasigan. They are the most sought after pillars of the Original Pinoy Music a.k.a OPM. Some of their famous songs are "Pare Ko", "Toyang", " Tindahan Ni Aling Nena", "Magasin", "Alapaap" and "With A Smile."

Hotshots, BF Homes, Parañaque

This burger franchise is not new to us since McDonald's and Jollibee already dominated the fast food industry in the Philippines for years and have proven to be the best for the public, budget-wise and filling our cravings for burger, if not for all, maybe some of us who grew up loving these chains.

José Cuervo Especial

José Cuervo is a brand of tequila produced by Tequila Cuervo La Rojeña, S.A. de C.V. According to Wikipedia, the José Cuervo Especial brand has the highest sales of any tequila brand in the world.

Baileys Irish Cream

Baileys Irish Cream is an Irish whiskey and cream based liqueur, made by Gilbeys of Ireland. The trademark is currently owned by Diageo. It has a declared alcohol content of 17% alcohol by volume.

Tequila Rose

This was first introduced by my friend when we had a get together a few years back, and it is colour pink, the same as the colour of a pink rose. It tasted like melted ice cream and it is sweet and you will probably ask for more.

Colbie Caillat will be having her "Bubbly" Tour here in Manila. She is an American pop singer-songwriter and guitarist from Malibu, California. She is the artist behind the songs "Bubbly" and "Realize."

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Live in Manila!

Like the Boyce Avenue, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus shows are for FREE and this is through the courtesy of Ayala Malls...

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is an American rock band that formed in 2003 in Jacksonville, Florida. They are the artists behind the songs "Your Guardian Angel", "Face Down" and "False Pretense."

Clockwise: Lemon Iced Tea, Sinigang na Corned Beef, Bicol Express, Oyster cake & Mannang's Fried Rice

One of my friends suggested eating at Mannang because according to him, they serve good food which is affordable as well.

NAIA Termianl 2: Entrance to the Waiting Area

I have never been to the NAIA Terminal 1, which caters for the the international flights of the other airline companies. I am curious of what it looks like so that I could compare it from the Terminal 2 which I have been for the 3rd time. My parent’s memories of the Terminal 1 was there was once a view deck there where you can see the passengers boarding the airplane, unlike now because of the modern standards for an airport which already has a boarding link between the waiting area and the aircraft. I think the advantage of having this is for security purposes. This also affects the closure or the removal of the viewing deck since anyone from there could see who is boarding and who is arriving.

Boyce Avenue Live in the Philippines!

Yes, you have read it right. They are coming to the Philippines and their shows are for FREE.

I first saw them in YouTube while I was watching John Nataniel’s cover of Realize by Colbie Caillat. They are composed of 4 persons which covers a lot of songs from different genre of artists. These includes Umbrella by Rihanna, Wonderwall by Oasis, No Air by Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown, Apologize by One Republic/Timbaland and many more.

About Me

Hi guys! I'm Ryan. I'm a person which you would consider a traveller because when there is an opportunity to travel, I'll grab it right away. I also like to eat and take pictures of my out of town experiences and share it with other people so that other they may try it too.

I just started blogging as a hobby and a past time. I blog about things that interests me and thinks that other people may like it too. I started this blog as a collaborative blog with my friends but since I was the only one who wants to blog, I decided to re-launched this website after almost a year of blogging to brand it as the sole owner.

Wondering why T.E.A.M. Bee? It stands for Travel, Eat And More and the bee was pertaining to the bee itself which flies from flower to flower collecting pollens and shares it back to its community. It was like me going from places to places and sharing it back to others as well!

So feel free to browse my site and see my life's journey.

Cheers to a beautiful life!
