Greenwich Pizza + rockeoke night
The invitation read: rockeoke night at Greenwich Katipunan. Katips (which is how some people refer to this campus area) is generally no man's land for me because it's at the end of the equator (the north to my south). But I just couldn't say no to this girl: the new PR manager for Greenwich Pizza, Ms. Cookie Cabrera. Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed the long drive to Katipunan because it made me see an area I don't always venture into (yes I know right, this is ONLY Manila!) A change of scenery can be good sometimes (even if you see mostly smog in this ... Continue Reading...
Jollibee delivery: The Avengers bucket
Jollibee Delivery is my family's ultimate go-to when we want a quick snack or when there's no food cooked at home.

The kids were thrilled to see the two characters and it was just unfortunate that I wasn't around when all the excitement happened. The only person who wasn't excited was our baby daughter Lucia ...

It actually has the same interface as another ... Continue Reading...
The future is here with Samsung Smart TV
The annual Samsung AV Roadshow was one of the important events that I didn't miss last week. On a side note, I finally had the chance to see Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2010 Venus Raj who was invited by favorito PR Franco :D Syempre, I didn't miss the chance to have a photo op! (I didn't know the man beside her - her Umagang Kay Ganda co-host Andrei Felix - was her boyfriend, until somebody pointed out to me they're holding hands in the picture). Venus and her unsatisfactory answer in the Miss Universe 2010. It cost her the crown, but she didn't seem to mind. She ... Continue Reading...
