Blog Design Updates

I'm planning on bringing the best out of the blog so I've decided to change the way it looked ad give it a more attractive and welcoming atmosphere for visitors like you!!

The navbar links are still under construction, but it will have a 'Featured Site' tab wherein the URL of any site from the blogroll will be placed there so be sure to include your site in the blogroll. The Guestbook and FAQ section can also be found at the navbar.

Popular posts at the sidebar, together with the suggestion box, slider puts 4 recent posts to be featured. I've also joined Wahoha recently and I hope to explain it in detail when I have the chance.

Comments still powered by Intensedebate, I've read about site that Disqus is better and has more capabilities, your thoughts?

Vice Ganda and Tado on Showtime

An unexpected incident happened when Vice Ganda and Tado Jimenez two judges of the famous TV show, "Showtime", exchanged heated words to each other when Tado made a remark on the performance of the contestants as 'pang-gay' (gayish).

The said incident escalated as Tado shows his T-shirt that says "Di bale na ang magnakaw kesa mamakla" (I'd rather steal than to f*c* gays). Vice ganda then fired a remark about Tado's candidacy on Marikina:

Vice: oo hindi ka nanalo…ngayon alam namin kung bakit…ang dami ko kaibigan bakla kumandidato nanalo.

The two judges then apologized to the audience for the misunderstanding. They probably learned a lesson here that its not good to fight on national television especially when there's millions of children watching the show.

Maligayang Araw Ng Kalayaan!

Has everybody noticed this? The Google image today looks like the flag of the Philippines, to show respect and to let everyone know that today is our Independence Day, 111th to be exact.

June 12, 1898 is the date when General Emilio Aguinaldo raised the Philippine Flag and proclaimed sovereignty and independence of the Philippine Islands from the colonial rule of Spain (but June 4, 1898 was the date of declaration of independence from the United States).


Once again we commemorate another year of our country’s Freedom, Liberty and Independence. Let us continue to support our country, and celebrate this day in honor of the people who changed and fought for the Philippines in its battle for Independence. And that’s why today is a no-working holiday, and yes there are also no classes everyone!

MALIGAYANG ARAW NG KALAYAAN! HOW DID YOU SPEND OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY?

Inside Look at SM North Edsa’s Newest Attractions – Sky Garden and The Annex

 

SM North is my favorite mall by far, maybe because this is my type and because I grew with it (kinalakihan ko na kasi) and it always keeps me company and I feel entertained when I’m taking a walk there or just to treat myself. After SM North’s installment of the building also known as “THE BLOCK”, which gave the mall its nickname, the expansion of the mall is just starting. With its newest attraction the SKY GARDEN – an elevated garden in front of the mall, and the SM ANNEX – the newest building that generally houses many technological stores and features.

 

FROM THIS…	… TO THIS :)

I’m sorry for the dark clouds, it’s a rainy day when I shot the pictures below :D

 

TO THE SKY GARDEN!:

Because of the worldwide concern on Global Warming, Climate Change, Greenhouse Effect, etc. I think SM made a good decision of building a garden at the skies of the North Edsa. The Sky Garden at SM allows you to see for yourself the busy roads of Edsa while listening at the relaxing music that keeps the ambience balanced. Try to mingle and have a chat with your peers to the eateries and restaurants available at the vicinity, or sit down at coffee shops, get your laptop and enjoy the free WiFi at SM.

Professional photographers and amateur ones or someone who has a camera at their bags (just like me :D) can share the sights and sceneries that await them on their stroll at the long garden.

 

And It’s also filled with gorgeous plants and shallow ponds to give you that peaceful feeling you’ve been waiting for. Just watch your step okay. :D

It also has it’s own concert place called “Amphitheater” or simply “the Dome”

 

To finish the Sky Garden tour here’s my shot of a somewhat aerial view of the Sky Garden

 

Next Stop. SM North Edsa’s Annex

The Annex is my kind of place! I like technology, gadgets, computers, internet, and other stuff! Have you heard that the Annex at SM North is home for the LARGEST CYBERZONE of all SM Malls, no wonder I like this place. 

 

Technology is almost everywhere here! just look at the directories. Yep, they are touch-screen. want to find a particular store that might be at the Annex? Let the interactive directory point you the location

the Annex has some colorful stores and futuristic designs, did I mention It has amazing lighting patterns and lines?

What I like about the Annex is that it has all of your Computer tech. needs in one place. Gadgets, Computer games, PSP casings, Ipod covers, Bargain Computer parts, YOU NAME IT THEY HAVE IT! :D

 

They even have PS3 and XBOX 360 Rentals for P80 an Hour (if I’m not mistaken)

They also have a Bowling Alley at the ground level of the building so you bowling enthusiasts might want to check it out!

 

And That’s SM North Edsa’s newest and must-see attractions if you happen to go there, don’t worry because you will easily find it there. Do you want larger versions of my pictures? you can contact me if you want! ^^

 

Have you visited any malls lately? Or do you have your favorite mall of all time?

Why not share it to everyone by commenting below? :) thanks!

McDonalds’ Larger Fries hits Pinoy Stores

After a stroll at Tandang Sora Avenue a moment ago I went to the nearby McDonalds store to get myself a refreshment, a coke float specifically, and while waiting in line I saw poster that caught my eye…

 

The McDonalds there has a new size for their fries and it’s LARGER than its predecessor, and it is called “Large Fries” :) . Yep, from the looks of it i think it is really larger than ever, and you can get it for just P55 pesos (about a dollar). The pricing of the sizes of the Fries are as follows:

 

Size	Price	Difference
Regular	P25	-
Medium*	P45	P20
Large	P55	P10

 

*Medium is the ‘old’ large (but I think you know that already xD, just for the sake of formality)

 

For just P10 you can upsize your medium fries to a much larger one, pretty clever for McDonalds eh? well if your up for it, then you can buy it. What does this new size of fries tell us?Is McDonalds starting to experiment on the new size of their products to see if the “Pinoys will bite on the size increase”?

Well Pinoys like the rest of the world (maybe) likes to have the best deal on the list. “MORE Content, CHEAPER price” they will have more to eat in less the price and that way you save money if you compute it yourself.

However, there is always a consequence on that choice

 From the looks of it I think, McDonalds will eventually upsize all of their foods in a matter of years, or maybe months here in the Philippines, maybe in a year or two you will see “SUPER SIZE” on the screen just like what they’re serving in the United States and Other Countries. What will this end up to? maybe just like the millions of Fast-food fans around the world who are now obese or over-weight because of too much intake of ‘Fats and Carbs’ in their system with the help of less exercise and a poor lifestyle, its the perfect ingredient of “fast weight gain”

It’s not bad to eat these foods, as the saying “MODERATION IS KEY” If Pinoys will take these foods moderately and live a healthy lifestyle, this will not pose a threat to the average weight of the Filipinos around the country.  And one good thing about us Filipinos is around 87% of the Pinoys are weight conscious, if not higher (according to my statistics xD).

I’m not complaining about the fast-food stores around the world, hey it’s their way of earning money,  it’s business what do you expect? I’m just giving you information about it and how you handle these situations and how you care about yourself is all up to you. : )
