Naalaala ko din nung bago magpasukan, namimili din ng polo shirt/s, pants, mga medyas, mga panyo, etc.

First time customer of these 2 stalls.

Last May 17, Friday, it was my first time to be a customer at Teaberi and Chuck's Grub Fish & Chips. I ordered at Teaberi is Winter melon Tea. And I ordred at Chuck's Grub Fish & Chips is their cream dory.

I like both the drink and the food. Both stalls are located in 2nd Floor, Food Choices, Trinoma. They are in front of Le Ching.

Teaberi is food business specializes in milk tea. While Chuck's Grub Fish & Chips is specializes in, well of course, fish & chips.

In case you didn't know. Fish & chips is common in England. Chips is the french fries version in the United Kingdom.

UPDATE:
Too bad that Teaberi and Chuck's Grub Fish & Chips are already closed.

This food is delicious.


Masarap yung manok ng Pizza Hut Philippines. Hindi ko alam kung ano yung procedure (o yung pagpe-preprare) sa manok nila pero masarap.

I do admit that masarap yung manok nila.

So far, its the best chicken I've ever tasted.

There is a branch of Puregold in Malinta Exit.

Khaled Hosseni's "And the Mountains Echoed"

Finally, Khaled Hosseini has a anew book called "And the Mountains Echoed". Honestly, I don't know if the is already in the Philippine bookstores like, National Book Store, Powerbooks, and Fully Booked.

According to the Wikipedia article, his new book is more on siblings:

"I am forever drawn to family as a recurring central theme of my writing. My earlier novels were at heart tales of fatherhood and motherhood. My new novel is a multi-generational family story as well, this time revolving around brothers and sisters, and the ways in which they love, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for each other. I am thrilled at the chance to share this book with my readers."

The book is in harcover edition and costss 899 pesos. According to Powerbooks' Facebook fan page.

This Greenwich meal.


I love this meal from Greenwich Pizza. I bought from the Greenwich Pizza near my office.

Unfortunately, the Greenwich branch (in Ortigas, Pasig) near my office is now closed, since late last year. I don't know why they closed.

I bought this meal last December 23, 2011, Friday.

The Top 10 Ang Pinaka: Patok na Fitness Activities / The Top 10 Most Popular Fitness Activities

I gave my previous post reasons on these popular fitness activities.

So here is the link of contact details on the popular fitness activities mentioned on my previous post.

2 job fairs this week.

There will be 2 job fairs this week. The first/1st leg will be held this Tuesday & Wednesday in Trinoma, in Quezon City. It will be held in the Activity Center of the aforementioned mall.

And the second/2nd leg will held this Thursday & Friday in SM Megamall. It will be held in Mega Trade Hall 3.

It's been around three/3-and-a-half years that I have been attending job fairs in the malls and no luck. I also tried applying in call centers, but with no luck.

I don't know if I'm going to attend the aforementioned job fairs. I didn't know that there was job fair in Glorietta, until I read today's issue of Philippine Daily Inquirer.

The Great Gatsby (2013 film)




I’m not really a fan of Baz Lurhman, Leonardo DiCaprio, nor Tobey Maguire. When I learned that Baz Luhrman, would direct the new film adaptation of The Great Gatsby, I thought Baz Luhrman will include musical plots.

At the time I watch the movie yesterday afternoon, I don’t see musical plots except for the weekend party scenes.

The movie adaptation is not that good, nor not that bad. I like the interaction of the actors.

I like the production, and the cinematography.

The face of a figure seen in the book is also seen at the billboard in the movie.

Rating:
3 out of 5 popcorns.

On "Iron Man 3"


I may not be a fan DC Comic and Marvel comics, the first Iron Man movie is the first comics-based movie that I like. I like this this installment.

I don't know if Robert Downey, Jr. will reprise his role in the The Avengers sequel, and even in the fourth Iron Man movie.

The one with patok na fitness activities. / The most popular fitness activities.

10. Barre 3
9. Wushu
8. Aqua Zumba
7. Belly Dancing
6. Body Balance
5. Boxing
4. Body Combat
3. Boot Camp
2. Circuit Training
1. Body Attack

Here are my reasons on these patok na fitness activities. (Here are my Reasons on these popular fitness activities.)

1) Don't expect me to do the fitness activities numbers 8 and 7 because: I'm not interested on Aqua Zumba, and Belly Dancing.

2) Don't expect me to do the fitness activity number 10 because: I don't know what Barre 3 is.

3) Don't expect me to do the fitness activities numbers 9 and 5 because: I'm not a sports-minded person.

4) I may consider Body Balance, Body Combat, Boot Camp, Circuit Training and Body Attack. Yun nga lang, wala akong perang pambayad. (I may consider in Body Balance, Body Combat, Boot Camp, Circuit Training and Body Attack. But the sad thing is, I have no money to pay.)

On DeluxeFX

I learned from the app’s website, that application’s price, 0.99 USD, from the iTunes page in the Apple website.

The app is currently not available on the Android platform.

I wish that the app would have a “free version”.

I wish that the app would be available on the Android platform.

On circuit traning. And the 2 gyms I know.

It's been a long time that I want to know on how, an exercise called circuit training works.

Only 2 gyms I know, that specialize on circuit training. They are 360 Fitness Club and Crossfit Manila.

First, I discuss on 360 Fitness Club.

I don't remember on how I learned this gym. Their gym is just across from the "office" (that) I work. I remember that their gym is in the 16th floor of Strata 100, in Ortigas Center, Pasig City. Way back 2011. Now their gym is in the 22nd floor, in the same building and location. Alongside Yellow Halo, Polecats Manila, Yoga+ (pronounced as Yoga Plus), and others.

The club also have other 2 branches: the 1st branch is in Makati; and the 2nd branch is in Timog Avenue, Quezon City.

In terms of convenience: in terms of work, I can go to the Ortigas branch; in terms of no work, I can go to the Timog branch.

Now, on Crossfit Manila.

I just learned about this gym this morning, while searching and learning more on circuit training via Bing.

The Eastwood branch is only listed on the "Contact Us" section of CFM's website. Although they have a branch in Fort Bonifacio in Taguig City.

For more information about this gym, visit their website.

Here are the links.
