Traffic in the metro.

Last Sunday morning, my parents & I are went to Parañaque City via Edsa. As depicted in the picture, light traffic ang Edsa.

Last Tuesday evening, noong nakasakay na ako ng bus na malapit sa Shaw Boulevard, hanggang Balintawak, napansin ko na light traffic ang Edsa mula sa may Shaw Boulevard hanggang Balintawak.
And paraphasing Yes FM:
Kung ganito lang sana ang lahat ng roads, avenues, streets, expressways, etc., ng Pilipinas, hayahay ang buhay.

Sambo Kojin in SM Megamall Atrium.

The office I currently working as an employee, had a buffet dinner in Sambo Kojin on SM Megamall's 3rd floor of Atrium. The branch itself is big. It is a combination of Japanese and Korean cuisine/food.

It was my second time to eat in Japanese buffet restaurant, after Yakimix. And this is my first time to eat in Korean, buffet restaurant. And it was my first time to eat in a buffet restaurant with the combination of Japanese and Korean food/cuisine.

Just like most Japanese restaurants, Sambo Kojin's interior is Japanese inspired. Even the restrooms for men and ladies.

There's a Japanese/Korean carbonara, but I don't know on how one of my bosses found. I don't know why I didn't tried their miso soup. There is a soup that I do not know what.

The branch has two (2) selections of main course: items that you're going to cook it; and food items are already cooked. And of course, there are appetisers and desserts.

Sambo Kojin has other branches:
Eastwood;
Edsa;
West Avenue;
SM Southmall

The Edsa branch is located, of course, located along Edsa. It near the branches of Dad's, Saisaki, Kamayan.

Their SM Megamall branch was the first branch I visited.

Traffic and PNP-PHG.

Since I went back to my office last October 3, naging from light to moderate ang traffic, everytime na umuuwi mako ng 6 PM mula sa trabaho. Ang ayaw ko lang, ay yung pagdating ng mga bus. There are times na nakatayo ako. And most of the time na nakatayo ako.

There are times na nakakasakay ako sa Edsa Central. Last Monday evening, hindi agad ako nakasakay ng bus malapit sa Forum Robinsons.

I'm not sure kung last Friday or Saturday ako nakasakay ako ng bus, pagkagamit ko ng men's room 2nd (second floor) ng Forum Robinsons.

Sana, maging maayos na yung traffic tuwing umaga. I mean, yung morning rush hour. Especially sa Cubao. At hindi lang sa Cubao, yung traffic sa buong Metro Manila.

JacksGap: One Week in the Philippines

I first learned about the video, is about a month or two months ago. But the video itself is published on the JacksGap channel 3 months ago.

I wonder the places in the Philippines they visited.

If your asking on how I learned about Jack's Gap (JacksGap), is that I asked one forum member (called PexEr/Pexer) of Pinoy Exchange who are the guys as her avatar. I just don't remember her reply.

Heres the video:

I envy them. Why? Because they visited the places I haven't visited yet.

This weekend. October 9 to 11, 2015. Day 3

Tulad noon second day, nagising ako ng 5 AM, noon third day (3rd) namin, nagising ako ng few minutes past 5 AM. So I decided that my cellphone and my iPod touch. Pumunta mako sa third floor, to take photos and videos, (most) especially on taking video/s and photos while the sun is rising. After doing these, I decided to walk around near our room. Yung amoy ng hamog (dew in English), ang first (1st) impression ko, ay amoy ng Palmolive.

After eating our breakfast, my older brother and and my sister-in-law decided na mag-bisikleta (mag-bicycle), and my mother, my two (2) nephews, and I went to the Lagoon Island while waiting for them.

After the former na mag-bicycle, we went to our respective rooms to get some things, before going to the two swimming pools.

Noong andun kami sa upper pool, tinanong ng older brother ko yung isang male employee na kung saan yung entrance. Tinuro kami sa lower pool.

Noong nasa lower pool kami, tinanong yung female employee, saan yung pupating upper pool. May naghatid sa amin sa upper pool.

Maliit yung pambata na pool. Yung children's pool ay may kasamang slide.

Yung upper pool ay mas malapit sa condo units. Malapit din yung upper pool sa villas.

Pagkaalis namin sa Graceland Estates and Country Club, namili kami ng longganisa Lucban, broas, chicharon, at iba pa. Hindi ko na maalala yung iba.

Kumain kami sa Kamayan sa Palaisdaan. Alas-tres pasado ng hapon na kami nakakain ng tanghalian. Alas-otso ng gabi kami nakarating ng bahay.

This weekend. October 9 to 11, 2015. Day 2

Nagising ako ng few minutes past 5 AM, noong second (2nd) day namin. So I decided that my cellphone and my iPod touch. I noticed that there's (there is) a male employee mopping the ground floor.

The only question I remember is how big is the country club. He said that the country club is 22 hectares. I noticed greeted me good morning. Of course, I greeted him back.

While walking, I noticed the sun is about to rise. I went to the third floor to take photos and videos. After doing these, I decided to walk around near our room. Yung amoy ng hamog (dew in English), ang first (1st) impression ko, ay amoy ng Palmolive.

-------

I went to other parts of the country club:
Boat Wharf - puwede ka mag-boat paddling
Lagoon Island
Bikes and bicycles - according to a male employee for that day, 100 pesos for 30 minutes, 200 pesos for 1 hour

I asked a male security guard, kung puwedeng gamitin yung bahay na malapit sa tatlong apartelles. He said na doon nakatira yung may-ari.

May hanging bridge, na under repair. May rock wall na gawa sa kahoy.

Puwede din mag-camping. Yung campsite ay tapat ng Boat Wharf at Lagoon Island.

-------

Itong araw na ito ay may photo session/shoot yung kasalan,na kung saan kasam sa entourage yung older brother ko.

-------

After lunch, nag-ikot-ikot kami ng mother ko, sister-in-law ko, with my 2 nephews.

Tiningan namin yung swimming pool. Ito yung Lower Pool. It has jacuzzi. Lower Pool is near tennis court and basketball court. Sinabi nun male employee na merong upper pool, na kung saan ay andun yung swimming pool na pang-bata.

Yung mga kasama ko ay pupunta sa children's playground, sinabi ko na titingan ko yung upper pool (Upper Pool).

May kalakihan yung upper pool. May slide yung pambata na swimming pool. Medyo maliit yung lower pool.

-------

Yung beach volleyball at yung children's playground located sa isang lugar.

-------

Yung reception ay ginawa sa social hall. At dahil nasa reception yung older brother ko at yung sister-in-law ko, nagpa-deliver kami. Binigay namin yung order namin sa isang male employee, na naka-assign ng oras na yun. Sinabi sa akin na staff ng Memphis Garden ang magdadala nung pagkain.

Masarap yung fish fillet with mango sauce.

This weekend. October 9 to 11, 2015. Day 1

Last Friday, until last Sunday, my mother, my older brother, my sister-in-law, my two (2) nephews, and I went to Graceland Estates and Country Club. The country club is located Tayabas, Quezon.

We went there, because my older brother is a best man to his friend.

We left our house around 10 AM, and arrived in Northbound of Petron along South Luzon Expressway around 3 PM. Why? Because the moderate traffic on Mindanao Avenue in Quezon City; and moderate traffic from Monte de Pierra to Santolan along Edsa.

We arrive on the aforementioned country club between 5 and 6 PM, because one (1) reason is that madaming tricycle.

We ate our dinner at Memphis Garden Cafe and Grille. Mostly the restaurant offer Filipino food.

Child cries over expensive books.

I watched the following video on my Facebook feed via the fan page of When In Manila. The child cries because the books are expensive.

Malaki yung video noong pinanood ko yung video sa iPod touch ko. So I decided to watch the video again on a laptop, via When in Manila's website. The article is under the Trending section.

And here's the video.

The Laperal House

It's already October, and some local (Filipino) TV shows WILL air Halloween-inspired episodes.

One of the Halloween-inspired TV episodes is the Laperal episode aired on GMA News' I-Witness. I saw this on my YouTube channel. Hindi ko lang sigurado kung totoo, or scripted yung "nakunan" sa CCTV sa isang kwarto.

Here's the video from the episode of I-Witness, and uploaded on GMA News and Public Affairs's channel.



And here's the full episode, uploaded by the user Jose Kangkong.



Magandang Gabi Bayan have also an episode on the Lapera House. And uploaded by ABS-CBN News on their YouTube channel.

American Horror Story: Hotel's Main Title Sequence

I (do) watch American Horror Story, but not a fanatic.

Based on the main title sequence, and in terms of theme, it is darker than the previous instalments.

And here's the video of the main title sequence, of the aforementioned TV show/series.

"Brave New World" / "Odessa" (Heroes Reborn episodes)

I do admit that I watched the first four (4) seasons of Heroes. With the no-commercial break for the 11 AM slot in JackTV, I watched the aforementioned slot.

I got confused the first few scenes of the “Brave New World.” “Brave New World” is the pilot/first/1st episode of the miniseries. The second/2nd episode is “Odessa”.

For me, it didn’t reveal much of the abilities of some of the characters.

The first and second episodes are shown in JackTV via satellite.

A dream the Toy story movies.

This morning before I woke up, I’m dreaming about the Toy Story movies. Yung napaginipan ko ay hindi hango sa nasabing film series.

Wala naman akong pinapanood na Toy Story movie. Basta ko na lang napaginipan. Hindi ko maalala yung napaginipan ko.

May napapaginipan kasi ako, na basta ko na lang napaginipan.

The Jungle Book (2016 film)

I do admit that, I haven't seen the 1967 film yet.

Ang unang beses ko na nalaman ang trailer ng "The Jungle Book" ay sa flash report ng ABS-CBN. At kagabi ko lang ito nalaman.

Hindi ko masyado nabasa yung caption sa nasabing pelikula.

Pinanood ko kagabi yung teaser trailer sa iPod touch ko. At pinanood ko ulit kanina lang.

The first (1st) time na napanood ko yung trailer, nabosesan ko si Scartlett Johansson. Si Scarlett Johansson yung nagboboses doon kay Koa, the snake.

Kung babasehan yung teaser trailer, may potential na maging nominee ang "The Jungle Book" sa Oscars sa 2017, para sa categories na: Best Cinematography; at Best Visual Effects.

On tacos, and this kid-friendly, paleo-friendly, taco.

I rarely eat taco. The only food chain/store I know that sell taco is Taco Bell.

Para sa akin lang na bihira kumain ng taco, mahirap gumawa ng taco. Dahil hindi pa naman ako nakagagawa ng homemade na taco.

I was browsing Google on where to buy tacos, particularly soft tacos. Until I decided to visit the website The Fat Kid Inside by Erwan Heussaff.

Based on the appearance on the blog post, ibang design yung ginawa niya.
