Chef's Noodle Take Out : Enjoy to the Max!

Two big bags of Take Out from Chef's Noodle.

I had another reason to be there at the same building where Chef's Noodle Annapolis, Greenhills branch was located so I decided to get some take out as my pasalubong to my family.

The smell of the take-out food was a pleasant mix of aroma and spices! Love the taste! Love the presentation! Even in its take-out package it was packed neat and appetizing.

My "She's Only Sixteen" Music Video

My home-made amateur music video inspired by the new alternative rock band "She's Only Sixteen."

I took their video during a press/media launch but the accompanying sounds were not that good so I experimented by putting in a different audio ( Roll The Dice) from their self-titled debut album.

Other songs in their album are Amygdala, Mr. Schemer, Dying to Meet You, plus an acoustic version of Dying to Meet You.

I know it doesn't match the video obviously from their mouth movements and from the playing of musical instruments but it gives you an idea (if you add some flashy effects, other photos, videos to spice it up, etc)...and it kept me busy somehow...hahah. Yeah, I know I'm a bit crazy...but that's what you get using a simple Windows Movie Maker, and an idle and bored mind.

Watch it below, and maybe give me some comments on how to improve it and make it professional looking..hehehe

Fighting The Big C with Evolife

The big C or Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out-of-control cell growth.

When damaged cells divide uncontrollably to form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors it undoubtedly harms the body. Tumors can grow and interfere with the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems, and they can release hormones that alter body function.

Tumors that stay in one spot and demonstrate limited growth are generally considered to be benign. More dangerous, or malignant, tumors form when a cancerous cell manages to move throughout the body using the blood or lymph systems, destroying healthy tissue in a process called invasion and when that cell manages to divide and grow, making new blood vessels to feed itself in a process called angiogenesis.

I just discovered this neat site where you can actually lend some money. Yes! you heard me right!

If you are so short of cash and needs an alternative source of getting money, then this lending facility may just be right for you.

Lenddo is not a bank. It is an online community where members can use their reputation on social networks such as Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter and Yahoo! to obtain loans that they could use for financial assistance to support their education, healthcare, home improvement, and capital needs to setup a small business.

Now, netizens would have the power to choose their favorites or who they think deserves a rightful recognition as the best in their chosen field in television, radio, music, and the movies!

The voting for your favorite local celebrities, movies and TV shows will be open starting November 10 in respective blog sites of www.Starmometer.com, www.Showbiznest.com, and www.LionhearTV.net for the biggest online event of 2012 : The Netizens’ Choice Awards.

Earlier I read about this so called new drug now available in the Philippine market (well at least its popular in Visayas and Mindanao) and they're calling it "Saridon". They say it's actually priced very competitively compared to the leading brands, and quite almost near the generics price. But how come the medicine started out in the provinces and not in Metro Manila or even Luzon?

Sandisk Extreme 240 GB SSD Reviews

Tekkie Tekkie Muna (SSD na talaga tayo, obsolete na talaga ang HDD), there's this tempting piece of SSD that caught my attention, priced so reasonably. Maybe I should consider trying it out and do a review once I bought it. But please do advise me if I would really be making the right choice.

Anyone here using or have used the Sandisk Extreme 240 GB SSD <click here for link> ?

How was your experience with it ?

It costs P 8,340 only. Price is very tempting. All reviews I have read say one thing in common - it combines high performance and affordable price. It can keep up with the more expensive SSD's like the Crucial M4 256 GB. It uses Toggle NAND

Here are the reviews
