Silk Road of Thai Bistro : Another Great Reason Why You Need to Try Out Thai

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Never did it came into my mind that they will be calling a meal a "Son-In-Law". Well, I guess the newly-opened Silk Road Thai restaurant at Bonifacio Global City wants to be a little more creative and intriguing for their customers.

Silk Road is actually owned by the same people responsible for one of the best Thai restaurant in Manila, Thai Bistro. The brains behind this new Thai restaurant is no other than Chef Cecille who has gone a lot more creative and fancy with her new baby. She has been focusing her strength to make this new restaurant unlike no other.

Well she boasts of being the only Thai restaurant with top-class menu, authentic Thai ingredients, and food and beverage consultants.

Another Thai restaurant? The difference is that there is a bit more fusion in her dishes here, and the ambiance was specifically designed more for an intimate day with your special someones. Unlike the Thai Bistro at Robinsons Magnolia which is a family restaurant, Silk Road is an ideal place where you are more inclined to take your partner and propose, and most likely get a resounding "yes" as an answer.

Who doesn't want to study abroad and rub shoulders with students from all over the world?

I would love to be among the lucky ones to get the opportunity to study in a foreign country and immerse myself to different cultures. It will be both a fascinating learning experience and an eye-opener to further expose me to the rst of the world.

I wouldn't want to get stuck in the Philippines. I would enjoy a few years earning a degree outside the country. I guess many people really look up to those who are given the chance to excel thru world-class education brought about by studying at a prestigious school.

At the Get edUKated event held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, many young people were given the opportunity to learn more about the probabilities of studying in the United Kingdom.

UKEAS, the leading UK educational advisory agency in Asia, continues its strong campaign to encourage Filipinos to invest in their education with this blockbuster exhibition.

Giordano makes its Philippine Fashion Week debut with a Spring Summer collection that offers sea-side glamour and earthy appeal while staying true to its clean and casual vibe.

Providing essential and timeless fashion for all, the new collections, Holiday Cruise and Linen Story – up the Spring Summer 2014 ante with nautical elements, updated chambrays, summer linens and oxfords in crisp pastel palette.

All aboard cruise lines with posh beaches for stop-overs, Holiday Cruise is inspired by luxurious travels and sandy shores. Starting with a selection of Breton tops both for male and female paired with oxford and linen shorts, the look is reminiscent of the easy French Riviera fashion. The nautical theme sails on with a plethora of chambrays and various fabrics like Tencel® offered in a range of washes and prints from heavy indigo to washed-out shades. Transitioning from the blues to a more summery palette, lightweight oxford shirts complete the Holiday Cruise collection. In solid chalky hues, the shirts look smart under a cotton blazer or worn as is. A few dresses add some feminine touch to the entire collection, while male polos with pieced patchwork keep the preppy charm.

DOS Espiritu: Isang Quadro Trianggulo sa Sulok ng Mundo tackles gender sensitivity issues faced by our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender brothers and sisters in a culturally conservative Filipino society.

The exhibit aims to break through social barriers and to create a culture free from discrimination of sexuality. Changing the way we look at this issue would bring us a step further in the journey to gain respect and whole acceptance of gender diversity in our society.

The week-long exhibit also features well-known and new-breed artists, music, film-showing, and the launch of RESTORE Outdoor club.

Kanto Artist Run Space is located at The Collective, 7274 Malugay St., San Antonio Village, Makati City.

Today is the day when we will see the initial telecast of Philip - Lifestyle Guy, this morning at 11 am on TV5!

From his humorous "It's More Fun with Philip" lifestyle magazine and talk show at TV5's news channel, Aksyon TV, Philip Abadicio now has a show on the TV5 main channel which promises to be more interesting and within reach of Filipinos.

During the press launch held at the Rub Ribs & BBQ restaurant located in Kapitolyo, Pasig, the lifestyle show host relates that they will be showcasing both hole-in-the-walls and elite establishments. It will be like a roller-coaster ride where an episode could feature a favorite restaurant just within your neighborhood, and a first-class restaurant situated in a five-star hotel. Thus the show will touch on all things of interest to all levels of society.

The show will let you experience various lifestyle genres, at the confines of their own living rooms, and with the fun factor added by Philip and his guests, I'm sure the show will be another big hit!

As always, I was very early at the event and was there even before the organizers were able to complete the preparation for the biggest baby and family event press conference. I think this may really be the biggest as I've seen their list of sponsors and partners, and "Oh, baby boy!" it was really an amazing long list, making me very proud to be part of this event.

The Baby and Family Expo Philippines 2013 - “Welcoming Life, Love and Care”, the country’s biggest family expo for all maternity, baby, early childhood and parenting needs was officially launched last October 24, 2013 at Fun Ranch, located at Frontera Verde, Pasig City.

The media launch was hosted by Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2000 winner and celebrity mom, Nina Ricci Alagao-Flores and was attended by personalities like ANC’s “On the Money” host and The Master’s Academy President, Edric Mendoza and Medela Moms’ co-founder, Maricel Cua and the wife of Azkals Coach, Mrs. Yoshiko Weiss.

Epson Holds Color Brightness Projector Expo To Educate Public

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Epson, the no. 1 projector maker in the world1, recently held a 3-day Color Brightness Projector Expo and Launch at the SM North EDSA (Cyberzone) to educate the public about the importance of knowing the Color Light Output (CLO) of a projector.

CLO is a measurement of Color Brightness in projectors. It is a scientiﬁc global standard that measures the luminance of the colors Red, Green, and Blue. The metric was developed to provide customers with fair and accurate information in choosing the right projector.

“About 70% of projector buyers aren’t aware that the ‘lumens’ advertised in projector specifications only refers to white brightness. For most projectors using 1-chip technology, their color brightness is only 1/3 of their advertised lumens – as such, their 2100-lumens projector typically can only display 700 lumens of color,” said Lyn Lizarondo, Epson Philippines’ Product Manager for Visual Instruments.
