FamilyFirst: Another Sunday Tummy Bonding

California Pizza Kitchen




Every Sunday I hear mass with the whole family and then we eat out. Normally mom would say, "I want sisig or Chinese food...". But that time mom asked for something different, she's craving for "pasta!".

Then I told mom, I know just where to go :)

CPK has this package for Php 999.00 and you already have starter, pizza, pasta and drinks!

The food is satisfying. The staff who took our order is friendly and accommodating. Serving is fast. Toilet is clean. Air-conditioning is great! :)

RestoReco: (Vietnamese) Pho Hoa

Pho Hoa

Went to work early to prepare for whole day meeting and then I felt the need for FOOD! :p

Craving for something not fast food but not too fancy... Then I decided to go Vietnamese - Pho Hoa!

I think I really love Asian food so Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese dishes are my go to for comfort food :p

I ordered Grilled Pork & Fried Spring Rolls with Rice and Minced Chicken & Mushroom with Lettuce Wrap.




Pho Hoa has generous serving and really delish! Price is also affordable.

RestoReco: (Chinese) Mann Hann

Mann Hann


Our family loves Chinese food (I think it's a default to Filipinos, anyway). But specifically for our family, we love Chinese food because first mom is a Chinese, second it's affordable and can really cut your hunger :p

Mann Hann is one of our go to Chinese restaurant!

I cannot recommend anything in particular because we love everything that they serve...

But on this post we ordered: Lechong Macau (Mom's fave aside from sisig), Pork Spareribs (define carnivorous :p ), crispy noodles (my sister's fave), Pork Noodles with seaweeds (my other sister's fave) & Rice with dried fish.

Oh by the way, beware of the long line :p

M&M (Movie & Munch): Seduction + Chili's Midnight Munch

M&M (Movie & Munch): Seduction + Chili's Midnight Munch



Movie:
My friend is a CERTIFIED Kapuso so he asked me if I can accompany him for a movie. I asked what movie - Seduction he said. So I said, go! Who will say no to seeing Richard G. in his first matured film.

So the approach of the movie is artsy fartsy Mr. P. Gallaga really knows how to extract the best from his actors.

More news about the film -> http://m.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=441913422530836




Munch:
I discovered this place from a friend. They recently just got married and received a lot a Sodexo GCs as a gift. So very understandable that we scout for place accepting SGC for payment :p

So I first went to Chili's GH and I loved their food!

So last night my friend is craving for a non fast food place to dine. So I suggested Chili's and as expected, my friend loved it too!

Serving size is enough for two, taste is great and customer service is good.

The rest room facility can be improved though...

But to sum it up, my visit here is sulit as always :)

M&M (Movie & Munch): LM + MK Midnight Munch

Movie and Munch

So finally was able to catch Les Miserables! Thanks to my friend @tamthegreat for immediately jumping into the plan :)

And so I earned the following stickers:





Yes I'm on GetGlue using the same user handle (too much for social network, I know :p)

I believe to many articles, blogs have been made available for this and most of those are super hyped and overrated...

For me the movie is good but not super good ;p

But I love Anne here, she gave all her acting and kudos to her.

So after the almost 3 hours movie, we felt a need to munch and where else if you are near West ave :p

Mister Kebab



My all time MK fave - Special Chicken Kebab!

Order the special (2 pcs) instead of the regular (1 pc). The difference is just like php20.00 :p

This place is memorable to me... Memories of college friends, friends from my first work, friends from high school, relatives and most specially my family... Mom is really a fan of Mediterranean food so she is 2 thumbs up for MK!

I rated my visit 4 because the pita bread that they serve me is cold... :(




Note: Credit goes to the owner (accidentally deleted the pictures :p)

First Time to meet Johnny ;)

Johnny Rockets




This was my first time in JR and I'm glad I did (thanks to my boss for encouraging me to try)!

I was avoiding this resto because I'm getting not good feedback from some friends that the food is not good and it's a bit pricy...

But my experience is good!

The burger is love! Not dry but not oily... Perfectly done! I also love their potato wedges (which you can upgrade to unli refill just add php60.00).

The milkshakes are also good! They are using real strawberry (preserve though) and the texture is really smooth :)

CS is also great! The waiter is very accommodating and friendly.

I'll definitely go back here! :)

Saturday Birthday Dinner

Galileo Enoteca


I actually never thought that there's this Galileo in Eastwood until my friend invited me to attend his boyfriend's birthday dinner.



The food is okay, a bit pricy but my friend was able to hit my fave food in the bulls eye! They also have good wine selection.

The ambiance makes you feel you are inside an old Italian resto... Though they should improve on the lighting because it's too dark inside...



The customer service is great, attentive waiters and they serve with a smile but they should improve on maintaining the CR.

Overall, the place can be perfect if you want to avoid a crowdy place and if you want to make it as a venue for small gathering... They allowed us to bring in cakes and some dessert without corkage.

Bags: Aero Denim Frayed Tote

My cousins really know my taste when it comes to bags! I want it plain, simple but durable. The bag that my ate Jaiza gave me is nothing fancy but I love the design, the style and it's simplicity.




It's a denim tote that fits my everyday work thing! I was able to give room to my 15" T410 Thinkpad, chargers (yes chargers! For my thinkpad, iPhone and pocket wifi :D).




It's from Aeropostale, I love the color, the texture and it looks really durable. Thanks ate Jaiza! Mwah!

Life: Eat, Pray & Vacation - Visiting Iloilo, Bacolod and Guimaras!

The Kimi Dora Foundation visits Iloilo, Guimaras and Bacolod
It was planned June 2010. Thanks to Cebu pacific's Php 1.00 fare, hihi! @Steladiva and I did the booking, the rest is history...
Our group is trying to at least do one travel per year. This year is very special for me since it's my birthday gift for myself. It's supposed to be a birthday celebration trip or me and @iambrianbasti but he failed to join (again!) because of important matters in the office (he is the AVP for Operations kasi that is why very important siya sa office, as if :p).
The week before I made sure that I was able to have my haircut. I like it short during travels, hard to maintain and set hair specially if you are in an island :p
Our flight is at 4:15am, Monday so Prime invited me to sleep over her condo in California Square Garden. Both of us were really excited!
So I started packing Sunday afternoon... Some of my must bring every time I travel:



The night before Prime treated me for dinner as her birthday gift for me (ganun talaga kasi mas mayaman sa akin ang bestfriend ko :p). She asked me what I am craving for. Then I said, icebergs!!! We went to Metrowalk to dine and party a bit.

Advocacy: SAVE PALAWAN!

SAVE PALAWAN! “We jail people for killing one or two persons. How about institutions or people that ravage the environment and cause the death of hundreds or thousands? The floods of Palawan are absolutely due to mining – due to the denudation of forests.”


Now we could sit still and do nothing. Or we could take the time to understand and consider where we stand on the issue of mining in Palawan. If you have spare time at home, please visit http://www.no2mininginpalawan.com and click on "VOTE NO!". Please let your friends and family know so that we can reach the goal of 10 million votes to stop mining in Palawan. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone.

ENTREE: Savory Longanisa with Caramelized Onions, 140.00. Flavortful sausage slices stir fried in olive oil, crowned with caramelized onions; served with creamy parsley eggs


SANDWICH: Migs Gallabergher, 150.00. Juicy and herby all beef patty on mixed greens, topped with there special garlic-sour cream-barbecue sauce and lots of sliced onions, and blanketed by melted cheese and gooey mozzarella


PASTA: Penne Bolognese, 130.00. An aromatic meat sauce, blended with Italian herbs and spices, drizzled with luscious olive oil


CAKE: Jeepers Creepers Pie, Serving choices: Slice 100.00, Whole 770.00. Whipped cream and pie in heavy dark chocolate flavor with caramelized pecan on top.
