I will be tasting Swensen's Icream and Sundaes' five new delectable sundaes soon! Watch for my review here and at WhenInManila.com.

I will be visiting the Eastwood Mall, Libis branch within the week to try out the five new flavors for the Christmas season : Mango Sensation, Mango Breeze Boat, Sticky Rice with Mango, Mango on-the-go, and mango Hurricane.

Whoah! That's a lot of Mango flavors!

10 Bottles of Makapuno - PuroMakapuno from PhilHybrid!

Being true to their word, PhilHybrid gave me 10 500 grams bottles of their yummy makapuno or glutinous coconut meat. Truly 100% pure! Makapuno, water and sugar only!

Immediately consumed two bottles that night because my kids really loved them on sandwiches (tasty bread, "monay" or "pandesal")or just by itself!

Guess which movie setting this is...stars JLC and SG.

Yes! I'm talking about John lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo for their third movie It Takes a Man and a Woman.

First was A Very Special Love , then You Changed My Life, now there's this third one: It Takes a Man and a Woman

Got some scoop on where they are shooting for their FlipPage Publishing House office set.

The Asus Incredible Launch

Asus launched its Windows 8 compatible devices today, November 6, 2012, to the media people at the R Space venue in Makati at around noon. The event was dubbed as In Search of Incredible!

We were really impressed with the specs and price with the lowest being Php 20, 995, though a couple of them maybe too pricey for many consumers but still fairly priced if compared with the competitors.

Tekkie Tekkie Muna (this seems like an ordinary launch, but hey they did say they wanted to focus on the products rather than celebrities and fireworks), the brands are now revealing to the public their new devices after the October 30 launch of Windows 8.

Asus launched its Windows 8 compatible devices today, November 6, 2012, to the media people at the R Space venue in Makati at around noon.

We were really impressed with the specs and price with the lowest being Php 20, 995, though a couple of them maybe too pricey for many consumers but still fairly priced if compared with the competitors.

A few officials from the respective concerned parties like Asus and Microsoft were there to grace the event and speak their words of wisdom, and encouraged everyone to try out the new devices first hand. I especially loved the VivoTab series laptop convertible to tablet devices, as well as the Taichi model which has display capability even at the top lid.

I will update this blog once I get their complete and accurate names. I just wanted to be among the first to share with your the event.

The perks of attending events - get to see pretty ladies wearing the most sexy outfits.

It was really an incredible launch...no bells and whistles or fireworks like other launches...They simply concentrated on the power and reasonable price of their products to attract our attention.

Registration area where media and bloggers signed up

Our very charming host for that day...Made me smile a lot during the launch. Her beauty was strikingly hot! Later I heard that her name was Thistle Guevarra, model and reporter, among many others.

We were led straight to another room where they finally showed us the new devices supporting the new Windows 8 operating system

Which is more beautiful? the laptop or the model?

They gave away one VivoTab to a lucky raffle winner....Wow! See that she's preggie...must be really lucky to be carrying a child.

That's the techie guy of Asus conducting a demo of the new Asus devices for the media inquiries

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.
