Been a while since I visited Duty Free and just tagged along with my brother. We noticed the staff seemed bored, disinterested with what they’re doing. One staff we even saw balancing herself on an ottoman. Certainly not a happy lot. Would go to SM anyday. Not so much selections too, A small grocery section. The washing machine prizes were pretty much lower than in malls so we got one.
Aging Ears
You know that age when you hear a loud music and you feel like you want to run, hide and lock yourself inside a secret room? You won’t feel that when you hear the sounds from an epiphone les paul special ii. It’s a guitar made to lull and rock you with its Tune o matic and straplocks. Club hopping for the best beats will not hurt your ears if they all use instruments like this.
Royce Chocolates
Have you tried Royce Chocolates? Just got hold of some again, this time the Bitter one. I wrote about them before, they’ll make yummy gifts for Christmas. They’re tiny little rectangle bliss that melt in your mouth like crazy. You just want to grab again and again. Never thought my daughter would like it since it ain’t that sweet but she just gobbled on them like crazy. The photo above was taken from the Royce Chocolates Facebook page.
Videoke at Centerstage MOA
Somehow the videoke bars in Manila has somewhat dwindled into obscurity. I know of two videoke bars that have closed down probably because of poor location or lack of income. We headed out however to Centerstage in Mall of Asia which just opened this October. The small room came very cheap at a price of 250 per hour.
The room has a built in song menu on the TV which we kind of find difficult to operate due it kept on exiting and removing our requested songs.We’re quite used to those videoke songbooks lol. We did get the hang of it after a while.
It was a bit hard to move for there were 6 of us but twas kind of cool the videoke place was new and there were those strobe lights that made it for a fun night. The sound system was awesome, I don’t know how sound proof the walls are but we sure had a mini concert going on in there.
The staff were nice especially the one who assisted us in the room who just smiled at my crazy brother’s weird jokes. Well,except for the haughty girl at the reception who I asked what the back area was for and she was like, it was just a waiting area like I was dumb coz there’s a stage, a giant videoke screen on there and seats. My point was what it was for, like for events or just anyone.Guess she finds it hard to be nice on soft opening day lol.
There’s a huge bar at the back of the reception at Centerstage Moa and a stage with a giant videoke screen where you can sing to your hearts content. I think that was for rent but we did get to have fun taking pictures. I think you should give them a visit. They’re located at the far end of the bayside near the TWO ecom prism plaza.
One time at Band camp
The dream to become a successful rock star or a band member can be quite daunting with all the competition and with all the equipmets you need. Music productio works perfectly if you got a akai mpd32 . If you need to create the best sound whether singing or being the best Disc Jockey in town you have to choose something with easy pads and nil issues of making it work. You can deal with sensitivity but certainly not poor quality. That’s what makes a dream, the attitude, the tools and the right kind of talent.
Globe vs Smart
You be the judge. We are not saying we don’t have problems but at least we are doing something about it and NOT focusing on bashing neighbors with garbage that they themselves have. Anonymous
Ever wonder how much millions of pesos are being thrown by Smart Communications these days on radio, TV, in print and even social media just to harp on the alleged network problems of its main competitor? To me, that sounds like a desperate move from a supposed market leader feeling the market share loss from a smaller, challenger brand. quoted from Isah Red of Manila Standard Today.com
What we just need are TELCO companies who face their problems and do a major revamp, improvement on their structures and that is what Globe is currently doing. Globe is building this new network and replacing its aging IT systems. In the coming weeks and months leading into the 1st Quarter of 2013, they will complete the most important phase of network build, the replacement of the old and tired equipment current serving their subscribers. Once this is done, customer experience will vastly improve it has in areas like Cebu, Davao and now Quezon City
Now you tell me, Which is the better network? Globe or Smart?
Twister Pregnancy
I remember my addiction to Twister fries when I was pregnant. No matter what I’m feeling, whether I was tired or having trouble with my legs and wearing pregnancy compression stockings , I crave and crave for it like crazy.
It’s good that Twister fries laid off a bit on salt. I remembered too salty for my taste now its better.
In fact I’ m going to get one now.
Human Nature
Bought a Human Nature Citronella bug spray again, it’s been a while but due to being in the hospital for more than a week. I missed the delivery. Human Nature however will resend the item without any charges. That’s so cool. Hate the DEET so gotta stick with the Citronella smell.
Fender super champ
Ever wondered what a Mexican made guitar sounds like? Purchasing a fender super champ x2 guitar center can make that ordinary sound turn into numerous watts of amplified music. It’s hardly going to bore you because if you like tweaking then you can enjoy different effects that would go with your rhythm. It’s not difficult to do so too, it would feel like such an exhilarating musical experience.
Cake Sisters Majesto
Just ordered, the girl I spoke with was friendly in the morning but seems impatient when I went back to pay. I did ask a lot of questions, she was not rude or anything but I sensed she wanted the whole deal to be over like she had something better to do.No thank you too when I left. She was not the owner but she could be the sister I’m not sure.
This is another cake that’s just so lovely. A Tangled Cake.
It would be nicer if I left feeling happy about my order. But I guess as long as the cake turned good and yummy then It would be fine.
Just check out the details on the picture with their contact number if you’re interested.
