These are the many books Our National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal have written and they are on display inside the Fort Santiago.

LP: Alam Mo Ba?

May 28, 2009

Habang sinusulat ko ang ilalagay dito para sa tema ngayong linggo ay natatawa ako.  Alam mo ba na natapos kong panuodin ang Boys Over Flower dvd ng mga 16 hrs. 

Sinimulan ko itong panuodin ng Biyernes ng Gabi at natapos ko ito ng Linggo ng madaling araw. Na-addict akong panuodin ito kasi gaya siya ng Meteor Garden.  hehehe at dahil dito crush na crush ko ang leader nila na si Lee Min Ho as Goo Joon Pyo aka Domyoji Tsukasa.

Eto pang isa, nagdownload ako ng soundtrack nila at pinakikinggan ko ito ng paulit-ulit kahit na hindi ko naiintindihan ang salita hehehe.  Maganda naman kasi ang beat.  Hanggang ngayon ay binabalikan ko ang mga magagandang episode ng BOF kasi naman inilipat pa ng oras eh tama na sana sa 10pm na time slot (kainis)

 

Alam nyo din ba na kinailangan kong tumakas sa opisina para lamang makapanuod at makakuha ng litrato sa ginawang grand parade nuong lunes, Mayo 25, bilang celebrasyon ng Araw ng Makati.  Dapat nuong unang lingo ng Mayo eto gagawin kaso medyo naguulan nuon kaya na-postponed ito.  Unti lamang ang nakunan ko dahil baka hanapin ako hehehe. Sabi ko na lang eh bibili ako ng Jollibee sa may Convergys (pero may dala akong camera).

Ang parada at street dancing ay ginawa sa Ayala Avenue ng 3pm.  Binalikan ko ito ng mga 6pm kaso tapos na

Plastics, one of the cause of a polluted river.

 

LP: Lahat Ay Payak

May 21, 2009

 

 

Siguro masasabi kong ang pag bisita ko sa Batanes ang isang napakagandang bakasyon na hindi ko malilimutan. Sa ilang araw kong pagtira duon ay nakita ko kung gaano ka simple ang pamumuhay ng mga tao.  Walang magagarang sasakyan, walang naglalakihang bahay at establishimento, ang estado ng pamumuhay ng mga tao ay simple lamang karamihan ay nagtatanim ng mga halaman sa gilid ng bundok.  Magkakakila-kilala ang mga tao.  Dito, “Lahat Ay Payak”.  Napaka-sarap tumira, malayo sa magulong buhay sa maynila.

Breakfast at Max’s

May 20, 2009

I was not supposed to eat breakfast today since i’m still full from the food that I ate last night (chowfan, kangkong and siomai from Chowking).  But then my officemate asked me what I like her to buy me at Max’s since she’ll eat there.  Then, the thought of their chicken was so inviting so i joined her. hehehehe.

  

I’ve never been to Max’s along Ayala Ave.  It’s small but I find it very cozy.  I wanted to try their longaniza platter but I don’t want to eat rice.  They don’t have the mini serving for the longganiza yet (hindi daw pwedeng i-mini kasi assorted yung longganiza) so I decided to try their vegetable omelete.

 

 

I was thinking that since it’s vegetable, there will only be veggies inside.  but then, when I ate it, there are diced ham too.  There is only one vegetable and it’s only diced green bell pepper which is over powering to me.  Well, masarp naman ang butter nila hehehe. 

Hayyy i’m so full na naman

Have a great day !!!

********** 

 

Abs-Cbn got the rights to show this and it started airing last Monday, May 11 at around 10 pm.  I really waited for this one since they started showing preview of the show.  I was thinking before that they will aire it in the afternoon.  Good thing they put it on a primetime slot   I love the show and it’s really quite similar to the Meteor Garden.  Even the leader of the F4 has similarities with Jerry Yan (Dao Ming Si).  Ang cute nya in short. hahaha.

But then, come Thursday, May 14, under the SNN show, they announced that they will change the the timeslot from 10pm to 6pm.  They will move the Go Bingo Nights show in the 10pm slot and will place the Boys Over Flower to the 6pm slot.  “Hayyy, naman yun na nga lang ang best time para mapanuod ko cya tapos ililipat pa nila ng oras”.  They’re saying that many requested it to have it moved to an earlier timeslot but I don’t believe it.

Oh well after hearing that i went to buy a pirated dvd (hehehe) this afternoon so that i will not miss it anymore. Gladly, the place where I bought the copy still have stocks.  After buying, I went back to the office and immediately played it in my laptop. In short, pinanuod ko cya agad hehehe.  I’m actually watching it while finishing an E-Learning due today. hahahaha.  I just can’t wait to go home and watch it there. 

The good side of showing it earlier is that i can already watch fully CSI New York and CSI on Tuesdays and Wednesdays without having the change the channel back and forth

So now, I’ll continue watching. Pinagtya-tiyagaan ko ang english translation at na-feel ang emotions kahit binabasa ko lang cya. hahaha. 

 

LP: Nang Matapos

May 14, 2009

Huwebes na naman at LP ulit.  Medyo nahirapan ulit ako kung ano ang pwede kong maisali para sa tema ngayon. Sa pagtitingin ko sa aking mga koleksyon na litrato, nakita ko ito nasabi ko na pwede ko syang mailahok ngayon.

Ito ang training ng ERS - Internal Auditors namin sa opisina.  Hindi ako kasama dito pero dahil sa dala ko ang aking camera ay nagprisinta ako na kunan ko ang huling araw ng kanilang training  

habang nag-training…

 

Nang matapos ang training nila ay nagkaroon ng awarding ceremony para sa mga nakakuha ng mataas na marka sa ginawa nilang technical exam.

 

Yung dalawang may hawak ng tsokolate ang nakakuha ng ikalawang pwesto.

 

At matapos ang awarding, syempre ang group picture taking.

 

Spaghetti Factory

May 13, 2009

Italian Restaurant is always appealing to me.  That is why when I saw Spaghetti Factory at the 3rd level of Glorietta 5, I invited my friend to have our dinner there.  Incidentally when we were already at the resto, she remembered this restaurant to be the one situated at Glorietta 1.  I said to her “Ah ito yung maliit lang na resto duon papuntang sinehan”.  Well, they’re no longer small and I find their place at Glorietta 5 very relaxing.

  

Since my friend has a small stomach (hehehe) we shared everything that we ordered.

 

  

Chicken Wings, Factory Style

Pan Fried covered with herb spices (Php 109.00)

 

The chicken wings is so good. Sadly it is small

 

 

  

Pesto Classic

Basil, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, walnut, parmesan & cream (Php 159.00)

  

I’ve never tried pesto with cream and this one again for me is good (hindi nakakasawa).  What surpised me was that when I asked for an extra parmesan cheese, they did not give me a grated parmesan cheese on a cup.  But instead, they grated the parmesan cheese directly on our pasta. Also, if you ask for a pepper, they’ll not give you a pepper but they will be the one to put the pepper on your pasta using this big, long pepper crusher.

 

 

 

 

 

 

    

Tiramisu

Coffee soaked ladyfingers in mascarpone-cheese cream mix covered in chocolate (Php 89.00)

 

Menu

 

Need to come back and try their other pastas and pizzas. 

PHOTOHUNT: In Memory

May 9, 2009

 

This week’s theme is “In Memory” and below are the pictures I took at San Agustin Museum.  The San Agustin Museum located beside the San Agustin Church inside the historic walled city of Intramuros in Manila.  There was an area there where you will see tombs of the Filipino men and women who were brutally killed during world war II. 

 

 

I took the picture below inside San Agustin Church where you can also see  several tombs of spanish conquistadors, spanish governor generals and archbishops.  There are also hundreds of laypersons whose remains were housed inside the church like painter Juan Luna, statement, Pedro A. Paterno and Trinidad Pardo de Taverna.

LP: Simula Pa Lamang / My Pictures Were Featured

May 5, 2009

 

Wala akong maisip na maibahagi sa tema ngayon ng bigla kong maalala na pwede pala itong na-ipost ko na nuong Martes, Mayo 5.  Masasabi ko na sa pagkakataon na nabigyan ang aking mga larawan ng mai-feature sa dyario ay isang karangalan na hindi ko malilimutan. Kaya ito ay “simula pa lamang“ ng mga susunod pang features sa iba’t - ibang pahayagan o kaya magazine hehehe.

 

  

*********** 

 

Wow i can’t believe this, I’m actually seeing some of my photos in the newspaper. 

Every Tuesday, Manila Bulletin has this section called Picture Perfect which features famous photographers,  tips on photography and pictures from various photo enthusiasts.  Mr. Raffy Paredes, has a column in Picture Perfect called “Through A Lens, Clearly”. In his column, he features photos submitted by his avid readers.  Before, I only read and be amazed on the photos there and i said to myself that someday, one of my photos will also be featured.  

two weeks ago,  some pictures of my friend were featured and i was surprised that she did not tell me that she submitted some of her photos.  Well, i was happy too because, her photos were really good.  She told me to try and submit some.  Though, I was still hesitant on what photos to give.  Coz I know that there are far more better photos there than mine.  But anyway, i looked on my files and checked my collections and here were the ones i’ve chosen to submit:

Sa Pintuan

  

 

 

Palimos

Last week, I received an email from Mr. Paredes informing me that my pictures will be in his May 5 column.  From the above pictures, 4 have been chosen and they are.
