I'm a coffee addict and I always go to either Starbucks or Coffee Bean. Last Friday, it was my first time trying Bo's Coffee. I'm also a fan of ice blended coffee. So I tried their Primoccino which is similar to Starbuck's Frappuccino and Coffee Bean's Ice Blends. As usual I tried Mocha flavored coffee again. Compared t0 Starbucks and Coffee Bean, Bo's Coffee was not really even close...but it's a bit cheaper... It just wasn't good... :)

At first glance, you could say that the Pizza Hut in Mall of Asia was different from the other Pizza Hut out there. There was a sophisticated feeling and coziness in the place. As usual to Pizza Hut Restaurants , the place was full of people of different life style. Though the place was so good, it wasn't intimidating because of the hospitality of the crews.

We sat besides the window and the table was so well set. It has a flower vase with fresh flower and bottle of wine which I think you couldn't drink but I didn't ask and a set of plates for four. It took us little time to choose what to order...until we decided to get viva pizza roma medium size, chicken tenders texas-mexican style with sweet tangy special sauce and lasagna. The first dish to be served was the chicken tenders, followed with the lasagna and last, the pizza. It didn't really take long for the food t be served.

Ok! Let's talk first about the Chicken Tenders Texas-Mexican Style. Maybe I wasn't really Texan or Mexican because I really didn't enjoy it :) Though it didn't taste bad, it wasn't good for me. I have tasted a better chicken stripped than that. The sweet tangy special sauce wasn't even better. I couldn't explain the taste because for me it's...plane. However, when I added Tabasco hot sauce to it, the taste was much better. Overall, it's just OK...just OK...


Let's move to lasagna. Pizza Hut's Lasagna consisted of Bolognese sauce layered in between pasta sheet, baked and topped with mozzarella cheese and bechamel sauce...was it excellent?..no...was it bad?...no...was it good?...yes! It wasn't really the perfect lasagna but I assure those people who doesn't like Italian dish because of being a little sour that would like this. My only concerned was the bechamel sauce. It tasted like milk? I'm not sure about the real taste 0f that sauce but it really tasted like Nestle cream. :) But still...I enjoyed it. :)


The pizza was great! Viva Roma was I think one of the best pizza of Pizza Hut. When you want it all pepperoni, ham, Italian sausage, bacon, mushroom, green bell pepper, onions, black olives, fresh garlic topped with mozzarella and parmesan, drizzled with olive oil, then this is the pizza for you. :) It has the perfect thickness and texture. Add their Tabasco hot sauce and it's the perfect hot pizza. It actually got the taste of Filipino. Though it's Italian, it wasn't that sour and the sweetness was there. :)


Overall, Pizza Hut never fails to give great pizza but they can still improve there other dishes. :)

If you happened to visit Mall of Asia...I recommend you to try "World Chicken". You can actually create your platter meal of 1 or 2 sidings. It will not really cost you much because 1 siding is just 132 pesos and 2 sidings is 159 pesos.


I tried the grilled boneless chicken with brown gravy and spaghetti pomodoro. The chicken was great! It's soft and easy to cut unlike other chicken I have tried...it's well cook..meaning it's not over cook and there's no blood in it...the best this about it is it's boneless! You would not have a hard time eating the chicken. The gravy was only nice...really perfect with the chicken but you could still try their other sauce like the BBQ, Teriyaki, and much more...

The Spaghetti Pomodoro was good but not really excellent...though it's really Italian and the sauce was just right...not too much and not to little. It's not really superb but I really enjoyed it.


My baby tried 2 sidings which include grilled boneless chicken with Teriyaki sauce, bacon rice and pesto pasta. I had a little of the chicken with teriyaki sauce and it was really nice! the pesto pasta was so plain. I didn't really get it...maybe because I enjoy meat sauce rather that vegetable sauce....but I think some people would love it especially those people who are on diet. :)

I was never a fan of Filipino movie. I always thought that it's a waste of money because of poor visual and not so good story line. However, one movie caught my eyes 1 month ago while watching TV. It was a movie about the relationship between gay couple and the mother of one of the gay couple...Not new in international industry but kinda new to Filipino big screen...maybe this one is good, I told myself.

Last Friday, I watched this with my baby. I was a little reluctant because not really a movie for guys but I was really surprised to see how many people really wanted to watch the movie...there were grandma (maybe because Vilma Santos was in the movie. She was actually one of the best actresses in Filipino movie)...there were straight couple...barkadan (group of friends)...I actually didn't gay couples there... When I entered the movie house, it was the first time I didn't seat in the balcony coz it was really full. So I just on the orchestra part of the theater. Before the movie started, a lot of people kept on coming in...I was not the only one who thought that the movie could be really good.

All the actors were good in the movie...especially John Lloyd Cruz who really leveled with Vilma Santos. Luis Manzano only has satisfactory acting skill for me because maybe two great actors were also in the movie. There were funny scenes which surely made me laugh especially those scenes with Vice Ganda...There were really dramatic moment that showed how good John Lloyd is like when he was in the bridge with Luis and hugging Luis on his back...there were no lines for John but just the face was really acting. The other one is the confrontation scene with Vilma in the funeral of Luis, I think John surpassed Vilma in this scene. :) Dimple should also be credited in her scene with Vilma Santos after  Luis died. There were also nice special effect like when Luis had an accident.

I really enjoyed the movie. I really recommend to see the movie with your mother. This is not only for gay couple...and I think gay couple would be disappointed because there were actually few sweet scene between John and Luis...the kiss was really short but really heart-felt. This  is for the whole family.

This morning, I watched Final Destination with my brother and my baby. I was so excited to watched it because I liked Final Destination 1, 2, and 3. Though my baby wasn't really a fan of morbid movies, he still watched it with us.

The movie was ok. A lot of morbid scenes were shown however some of them really looked like computer generated scenes. They could have made it better. Another thing, I didn't know if it's just SM Manila, but the movie was kinda blurred and dark. My TV was better that it. :)

All in all it was good but not really heart-stopping like "G.I. Joe" and exciting as "Drag me to Hell" It was just OK...

We watched "Final Destination" this morning but before we bought tickets we came across this ice cream parlor and we were tempted to buy. I was glad that I didn't buy but my brother and my baby bought..hehehe... thought the picture was so tempting the taste was not so good. Mcdonald's Sundae was actually better. The only thing that was good with it was the brownies and the KitKat. It's no match to Dairy Queen. and another thing...It cost them 99 pesos for that crap!

Swirls is located at SM Manila... Try it for yourself...maybe we just have different taste buds...

I had dinner with my baby last night at Burger King after buying Vitamins for my puppy. I ordered the Angry Whooper Jr. meal which would cost you 135 pesos and my baby ordered the Whopper Jr. Meal.

It has been a very long time since I last ate at Burger King. A lot of changes happened at Burger King. I could still remember that they had cheap burgers but now, I think, all burger meals were above 100 pesos. :)

OK. Lets start with the Angry Whooper Jr. Meal. The meal composed of Angry Whooper, fried, large drink and sundae. Not bad for 135 pesos meal. Burger King's burger still had that different taste from other burgers...it's addictive...The burger composed of flame-broiled beef with sizzling bacon, pepper jack cheese, deliciously spicy jalapenos, angry onions and our own signature angry sauce. However, I was hoping that it would be spicy because it's angry! but it wasn't. Though the burger isn't that spicy, I really liked it. The junior is just enough to make me full and everything elseshat come with the burger were good. The fries were perfectly fried, and the sundae, though McDonald's was still better, I still liked it.

The only problem I had with BK was their wifi...it didn't work. Maybe they just gave me the wrong password. :) It was annoying because they were claiming that they had wifi but it's not working properly. :)

Las time we compared friendster and facebook based on their homepage, account page and messages. Now let's compare the process of uploading photos.

In friendster, you can easily see the "upload photo" button on the account page. Whereas, in facebook, you have to go first in the "profile" tab then "photo tab" and click any photo folder and then you can see the a small "add more photo" link. :) Base on this, friendster offers an easy to find "uploading photo" link :)


Friendster "upload pictures" link


Facebook "add more photos" link

Both uses java to upload pictures but I think friendster has the easiest way to upload pictures using java. Because it's more of just browsing pictures. Whereas facebook offers a more noble ways of uploading picture. it's kinda like "exploring" your computer and checking what you like to upload. However, I experience more errors in using java i uploading my pictures in facebook than in friendster.


Facebook Java Photo Uploader

Friendster Java Photo Uploader

Both offer an HTML uploader if you have trouble using java but the difference is you can upload 10 pictures at a time in friendster compare to facebook which you can only upload 5 pictures at a time. :)


Facebook HTML Uploader

Friendster HTML Uploader

Base of the speed in uploading pictures, I think facebook is faster.

Overall. Friendster is much better in uploading picture though its a bit slower than facebook and it also has limited number of pictures you can upload. :)

Around 11am this morning, I had lunch with my baby at Chef de Angelo. Because he wanted to prove to me that their burger was as big as the Wham Burger. We didn't just order their classic burger but also I ordered their Sampler 1 and he tried their Beer Sausage Meal.

Let's start with my Sampler 1. The Sampler 1 consisted of Italian style spaghetti, breast part chicken and a slice of Hawaiian Pizza. It would cost you 138 pesos for this. The spaghetti was too sour for me. This was not my first time to eat at de Angelo but this time the spaghetti was too sour. The chicken was the same as before. It's kinda similar to those chicken in Shakey's. The pizza was a bit tough. I had a hard time bitting it. :)

Sampler 1

My baby let me try the Beer Sausage Meal which came with a cup or rice and a cup of softdrink. My baby told me that it was spicy but when I tried it, it wasn't. There's nothing special with this sausage, it actually tasted like a regular hotdog. :)

Beer Sausage Meal

I only ate half of the classic burger. But my baby was wrong to tell me that it was similar to Wham! Wham Burger was much bigger than their burger. Wham Burger was also much better in taste. :) I think De Angelo's didn't bother to make their burger tasted good. :)

Wham! Burger in Robinson's Place

Yesterday, I had dinner with my baby at Wham! Burger. I had a Kapow Burger, fries and my baby ordered Double Whammy with Cheese and Chicken Little.


Two Four Seasons Juice, Double Whammy with Cheese, Kapow, Chicken Little and the Country Side Fries with Barbecue Sauce

The service was ok. We didn't really wait for a very long time though it could be improved.

Let's start with the Kapow. This burger was good. It was juicy and the patty was really big. The spicies in the burger was a little sour but it still tasted good. It wasn't that spicy and I still put more hot sauce to make it more spicy. I had a hard time finishing this burger because it was so big. The burger really looked grilled and the veggies they used in the burger were fresh.

Next, the Country Style Fries, I was not sure if the country-side fries tasted like this but for me it tasted more like sweet potato.:) Almost similar to the fries in Max's :) I really didn't like it much. I should have ordered their other fries. :)


Country Style Fries

I didn't really try the Double Whammy Burger with Cheese but I think, it tasted good. The patties were really big and my baby wasn't able to finish it. He only ate half of it. He even showed me how juicy it was when he squished it. :) Even after he finished half of it, he was already full. :)

The Chicken Little was not so different with the regular nuggets except that it was a little thinner than the other nuggets. It didn't have any special taste.

Maybe out of 10...it's 7 for me....

One month ago I saw this internet-coffee shop near my work place. It caught my attention because of it's logo. It is really similar to Starbucks logo. It's name was Dos Para

As you can see, the color of the mermaid was just inverted and they added the letter "A" and "N" However, the color of the ring is also green and the font is the same. Even the 2 stars are the same.
Dos Para is located at Del Carmen street, 2 blocks from Taft Avenue and 2 minutes walk from the nearest Starbucks. :)

KFC's Flavor Shots at KFC Morayta

Last Saturday morning, I had breakfast with my baby in KFC. Together with Original Chicken Burger meal, I also had the New Flavor Shots. At first, it tasted good. It has this sweetness and no so spicy taste with it. However, as you continue eating it, you could compare the sauce with Jufran Hot Chili Sauce and you'll get tired eating it. It's also kinda expensive if your gonna take into consideration its taste. Moreover. It's also a bit tough which if you had problems with your teeth, this is not the chicken for you.

Mocha Frappuccino inside a taxi :)

Last Friday, I went to Starbucks to buy Mocha Frap. I was right. Mocha Frap is a little different from Coffee Bean's Mocha Ice Blend. It's sweeter than Coffee Bean. It has chocolate syrup unlike Coffee Bean which I think why it's sweeter. It's cheaper that Coffee Bean. A tall size of these could cost you 125 pesos. Frappucino has more sizes that Ice Blends. Other than that, the taste was almost the same. One good thing about Starbucks is that the service was faster compared to Coffee Bean. :)

Cheesecake Cafe in Mall of Asia

Last Friday, before I went back home, my baby and I visited Cheese cake cafe to buy my mom some slices of cheese cake. A slice of their cheese cake ranges from a hundred and above. I wasn't able to taste the Oreo cheese cake but I've tried there blueberry cheese cake. Maybe a slice of it is good but I wouldn't ask for another slice. Maybe there are really food which is good in small amount. You could really taste the blueberry in it but the cheese, not so. :)
