Mayon Volcano seems to be one of the most search item in this blog. Before this became a Shopping Blog, this blog featured Philippine travel photos and our tourist attraction. I just want to continue to feature a few selected spots in our country.

Recently, my daughter hiked Mt. Pinatubo till they reached the crater. The crater is filled with a deep blue hue. So beautiful, said my daughter.

If you’re looking for the perfect combination of blooms to celebrate your love’s beauty on Valentine’s day, try the Dangwa Flower Market in Santa Cruz and Sampaloc, Manila. It’s located along Dos Castillos street and is heralded by the Manila Times as one of the most famous landmarks in the area. You definitely won’t miss the row upon row of colorful flowers. The Dangwa Flower Market is a great place to buy flowers, not only because of the wide selection of beautiful bouquets, but also because of the price. A bouquet costs around Php 200 - 250 each, or $5 per bouquet. And if you’ve learned a thing or two about haggling from your wife or your girlfriend, you can even walk away with a better deal!

Pink iPod Nano for Valentine’s Day

Due to popular demand, presumably from female gadget freaks, the iPod family grows with the release of the 8GB pink iPod Nano. The pink iPod Nano was especially made for a Valentine’s Day market that no longer gives out flowers, chocolates, or embroidered hankies. Not that I wouldn’t mind getting one of those, especially if they come pre-loaded with a romantic playlist that’ll make me melt and go, “Awww.” Unfortunately, the pink Nano is only available in the US (for $199) and so far, there hasn’t been any news about an international release. Chances are it’ll hit Philippine soil by the time Valentine’s day is way over.
