Weekend Treat: Lunch Out at Dencio’s and Watch Movie “Tarot”

Last Sunday since we’re only 3 in house and very board, hungry and wondering what to do, we decided to watch movie. First, we decided to watch Bea’s movie which I don’t know the title but with a hungry stomach, we couldn’t decided what movie we’ll gonna watch so we decided to take our lunch. We decided to eat at Mang Inasal but our mind changed. We go to Dencio’s instead

Dencio's

We’ve entered Dencio’s and looking around and we found out that we’re the only one who will eat there. We ordered Nilagang buto-buto (P250+), chopsuey(P150+) and Pinaputok na Pampano (deliciously grilled fish) (P105/100 grams, 500 grams minimum = P525), rice (P30), bottomless Iced Tea (P65) and a mango shake (P65). Their price is just like the price at Max’s Restaurant which is just fine. After around 15-20 mins the food are served and we eat. The food was all delicious and the price are all worth it.

After we eat we went at SM to watch movie our mind changed again and we decided to watch Tarot instead which is a good choice of movie. My sister freaked out as well as my mom nice. The movie last around 1 and 15 to 20 minutes.

Okay, after a long day roaming around the mall, I’ve seen a Dance Pad for PlayStation 2 (P460) which I’ve been searching for around 1 month ago. So, I bought this thing and a DVD game (P150).

Back home, I tested the pad, of course I played it It’s nice and it gives me a generous amount of sweat!

The day has finally gone to it’s end and I’m super tired and I need some rest. My day is great spending my time with my family.

Video Ad in Magazines

CBS to run video ad in magazine this fall

NEW YORK–Broadcast network CBS will be advertising its fall TV season with a video-chip ad embedded in an issue of Entertainment Weekly.

The September 18 issue of the Time Inc.-owned magazine will feature the first video ad to appear in print, George Schweitzer, CBS marketing president, said Wednesday at a press conference at the company’s headquarters here.

The ad will be launched in partnership with PepsiCo to promote Pepsi Max soda and the TV network’s Monday prime-time lineup. Not everyone will be seeing it: the ad will appear in a magazine insert sent to subscribers in the New York and Los Angeles areas–an edition without the video chip will be sent to subscribers elsewhere and show up on newsstands.

The technology for the battery-powered ads was manufactured by a Los Angeles-based company called Americhip, and each ad can handle about 40 minutes of video.

Here are some more details about the Americhip technology: the screen, which is 2.7 millimeters thick, has a 320×240 resolution. The battery lasts for about 65 to 70 minutes, and can be recharged, believe it or not, with a mini USB cord–there’s a jack on the back of it. The screen, which uses thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD) technology, is enforced by protective polycarbonate. It’s a product that has been in development at Americhip for about two years, spokesman Tim Clegg told CNET News via e-mail.

This going to be cool but the downside of this is the cost of each magazines and I you are “techy” enough, you will experiment this thing for sure, hack it and alter in any ways haha.

Disney Pixar: UP

Recently we’ve watch The Haunting or The Haunted or whatever. I forgot the title since it was too boring for me. I got dizzy and my eyes hurts.

I’m planning to watch this move this weekend and I hope that It will be good and much better than the trailer. Gonna update this post as soon as I watch it.

Remembering Ninoy Aquino

Though I’m not yet born that day when Ninoy died, I feel the his spirit today by the people who supports him. Because of him Philippine freedom was again claimed by its people from the Marcos’ leadership.

Who is Ninoy Aquino?

Benigno Servillano “Ninoy” Aquino, Jr. (November 27, 1932 – August 21, 1983) was a Philippine Senator, Governor of Tarlac, and an opposition leader against President Ferdinand Marcos. He was assassinated at the Manila International Airport (later renamed in his honor) upon returning home from exile in the United States. His death catapulted his widow, Corazon Aquino, to the limelight and subsequently to the presidency, replacing the 20-year Marcos regime.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benigno_Aquino,_Jr.

I hope that Ninoy’s memory will still remain in our heart together his wife Corazon Aquino.

Manila: Before and After

I was surfing around the net and suddenly I wonder what it looks like Manila way, way back the years. I was amazed when there’s a blog that has generous amount of pictures and description of old Manila pictures.

Old Manila: manilahub.i.ph

With this site, you can view the “before and after” of the streets and places around Manila. You can also see EDSA or highway 54 way back when there’s no traffic unlike today that I looks like hell.

I hope you like it, experience Manila the “classic” style.

The EMO thingy!

I was looking around my friendster account and I found my old, old blog way way back October 2008. There’s pretty number of posts there and I was reading them. My friend ask me about certain post about “emo”-ish thing. I wonder what is it and I found out that it was the wallpaper I’ve created back from my old work.

It was a pretty free time there and I don’t have any job to do so I decided to draw human-like creature but I really don’t draw, at all haha.. My office mate seen my drawing and said to make it in photoshop instead. Maybe they didn’t like my drawing that’s why. So, the Photoshop loads and I started my creation. It took me almost 1 hour to finish it and I am amazed to the output.

EMO Wallpaper

Maybe it looks like newbie to you but for me its such a cute little emo-ish thing. hope you like it.
