Achiote Taqueria : Will Surely Satisfy Your Craving for Authentic Mexican Dishes

Wazzup Pilipinas !

A hefty hearty meal that is fit for the most exquisite taste and huge appetite. You will never taste Mexican food as good as these anywhere else. It's only at Achiote Taqueria located at Rockwell Powerplant Mall.

Tortillas has always been a favorite but the one served to us at Achiote Taqueria just really brought out an appetite out of me. It was completely done, with only the crumbs as left-over for the nachos, devoured until the very last bite. Thank goodness it was the very first dish we had, because the rest of the meals were equally a gastronomical delight.

Arrived safely via British Airways....nice service....great food

London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, and the largest city, urban zone and metropolitan area in the United Kingdom, and the European Union by most measures. Located on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium.

London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its square-mile medieval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, the name London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core.The bulk of this conurbation forms the London region and the Greater London administrative area,governed by the elected Mayor of London and the London Assembly.

An alternative lifestyle is to indulge instead on healthy foods. Vegetables, fruits, root crops, - those that do not involve killing animals for their meat - and everything else organic and all natural with no preservatives.

Sugarleaf offers its customers the healthy option to dine and enjoy their meals with less the worries of getting fat or unhealthy - at a fraction more of the price. Truly, eating healthy foods cost a little bit more, but you are assured better health compared to dining with all that pork, beef, - and all that oily fatty foods that you can think of.

I had the opportunity to dine with friends and enjoy some of their healthy dishes as seen below:

Sexy Boys Go Bare For HIV Awareness

Wazzup Pilipinas !

Love Yourself, the country's fastest-growing HIV advocacy group with more than 200 trained volunteers, has launched its 2013 visual campaign dubbed ‘Project Indulge’ in collaboration with advertising agency Campaigns and Grey, and photographer Jeanne Young.

‘Project Indulge’ – a first-of-its-kind campaign, features provocative yet tasteful imagery coupled with insightful, witty ‘matter-of-fact’ copy that departs from the usual fear tactics of HIV awareness campaigns. It suggests that people include regular HIV testing as part of their personal grooming routine to stay healthy and sexy.

The WCC Aviation School is now carving a reputation as a leading school for pilots not only in the Philippines, but also in Asia.

Proof of this is the recent acquisition of WCC of an Airbus A320 full flight simulator -- the latest of its kind and the only one that is housed near the NAIA complex. The recently acquired multi-million dollar worth of simulation training system developed by SIM Industries allows you to feel and experience how it is to land in the world's busiest airports -- from Chep Lap Kok Airport of Hong Kong, Incheon Airport of South Korea, to even our own NAIA Airport. You can even feel like a 'pilot-for-a-day' and experience real-life scenarios (rain, strong winds, night time, etc.) while inside the Airbus simulator.

G.E.B. Superclub Sponsors a Pre-Valentine Party

Wazzup Pilipinas !

Great food, drinks, games and raffles highlighted the My Bloggin' Valentine Pre-Valentine Party sponsored by the G.E.B. Superclub. The club is located at Tomas Morato and played host to a party for bloggers and their special someone. After all, its the season of loving, and we loved every minute we spent at the G.E. B. Superclub.

Everyone was laughing until the end because of the events that transpired that night. Each one went home fulfilled, a bit drunk, noisy, and satisfied! Some had stage fright but was able to get away with the prize, some had to sound off the longest and went home with some cash, while some had to gulp a bottle of beer as fast as they can to claim a cash reward as well, and more had the opportunity to bring home some cash and a couple of concert tickets.

Thank you G.E.B. Superclub for the best night ever!

The Manila leg of Firefox OS App Days was held at the Boracay and Balesin Rooms of the Alphaland Southgate Tower, strategically located at the corner of EDSA and Pasong Tamo adjacent to the MRT Magallanes Station in the country’s financial district capital: Makati City.

The Firefox OS App Days was an opportunity to learn, hack and celebrate Firefox OS, Mozilla’s open source operating system for the mobile web. Technologists and developers presented tools and technology built to extend and support the Web platform. The browser-based Firefox OS Simulator was used to view and test mobile apps on the desktop.

Mr. William Reynolds (in the picture along with Robert "Bob" Reyes) from Mozilla Mountain View (California, USA) joined the celebration.

Firefox OS App Days are a chance to kick start creation of apps for the Firefox Marketplace, and represent a great opportunity to build new apps or optimize existing HTML5 apps for Firefox OS, as well as demo your projects to an audience of peers, tech leaders and innovators.

The day formally started with Community Manager Eusebio “Jun” Barrun, Jr.‘s talk about “Mozilla in the Philippines“. His slide deck can be viewed here.

It was then Mozilla Rep Bob Reyes' turn to be on stage for his “Firefox and the New Web Challenge.” His slide deck (HTML5) can be viewed online here.

Monique Almario, the country’s very first WebFWD Scout gave an overview of what the program offers to aspiring technopreneurs. Her slides are here.

Another Mozilla Rep, Kevin John Ventura, gave the attendees an overview of the Firefox Marketplace. His slides can be viewed online here.

William gave his presentation entitled “Apps are Boring; Games are Fun!” — originally created (and presented) by TofuMatt (get well soon, buddy). His slide deck can be viewed here.

Some more pictures below:

Everybody went home with a swag bag (with some stickers and a usb drive inside) and a “limited edition” Firefox OS App Days shirt courtesy of Mozilla.
