The Morning Rush Top 10 Book 2

Due to the phenomenal success of The Best of Chico and Delamar’s The Morning Rush Top 10, they have now released book 2 of The Morning Rush which includes Gino Quillamor aka Ginoboi.

As soon as they started tweeting and showing on their instagram accounts their copy of the book, i already called National Bookstore and Fullybooked to reserve me a copy. After a week of its released, i finally got hold of the book.

Again, reading the first few pages will already make you laugh. And it will keep you lauging till the end Oh the book also comes with a set of stickers. Look what i did to the front and back cover

2-week stay at Ascott, The Residence

For less that a week, i had to prepare and pack for my 2 week stay in Bangkok, Thailand for a work related “opportunity”   I just had to forego a 3 days paid trip to Boracay. Oh well that’s life. Everything was arranged already from plane to where i will stay.  Good thing, “mister headache” did not attack me. 

The last time i visited Thailand was way back 2008.  After 4 years, i’m back. I stayed at Ascott Sathorn Bangkok.  It’s a 30-45 mins drive from the airport.  My first sight while going to the hotel was their pink cab (cute no hihihi). 

When i arrived at the hotel and up to my room, I was surprised that my room was already fully loaded/ fully-furnished - it has washing machine, microwave, electric stove complete with all kinds of utensils (parang ayaw na akong pauwiin hahaha).  I was booked on their Studio-Premier residence which can accomodate 2 people.  Staff were also very accomodating and helpful. 

 

Ascott Sathorn Bangkok offers luxurious and spacious private residences complemented with comprehensive services and facilities. The residence is the premier Bangkok serviced residence property and is ideal for corporate housing. It provides the convenience of being located in the capital’s business and commercial district and offers extensive services, state of the art fitness and spa facilities, international dining venues and entertainment outlets on the premises.

 

True enough, what was written on their website is what i actually experienced during my 2 weeks stay in Ascott.  The location of Ascott is very strategic to commercial districts, restaurants/ fastfood, banks and BTS station.

I also like my view from my room.

I really enjoyed my stay in Ascott even if i was not able to try their other amenities like SPA, Gym and swimming pool.  If you’re planning to visit Bangkok, i highly recommend Ascott. 

Next on my post will be the city tour.

What are your 50 Shades?

Do you have your own 50 Shades which you still cannot show to everyone?

My cousin recommended this Fifty Shades of Grey book one time.  At first i was hesistant to read it.  i searched the book online, read the synopsis and somehow got intrigued.  It took me a while before i decided to buy the book.  And when she told me that it will be made into a movie, i said “ok i’ll but the book”. 

Book 1 Synopsis:

When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.

Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.

Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever. (source)

Panciteria Lido

In the heart of Pasong Tamo, Makati, lies a simple chinese restaurant known for their Chinese Pugon-Roasted Asado.  Since it is just a walk away from the office, me and my lunchmates visited the place and tried and some of the food that they offer.

Lido is not a high end restaurant but the place is clean. The interior is simple – a ”high end” panciteria if i should say  

 Our Food:

 Pugon Roasted Asado (php267.00)

 3 cups chicken (php 295.00)

16-Spice Shantung Pork (php 259.00)

Chicken Feet (php 75.00)

Poached Tofu in Special Soy (php 105.00)

Chunky Pork Siomai (php 95.00)

Chami Special mucho (php 195.00)

Generally, the food tastes good.  I like their pugon roasted asado, shantung pork and the chicken feet.  i would prefer if the asado is a little bit salty.  I’m not a fan of poached tofu but this one, i was able to eat it.  Each order is good for 2-3 persons or depends on their appetite .  But the food above, these were shared by 4-5 persons  Price is reasonable too. Over-all, we enjoyed our lunch.

Butterflies

I’ve been enjoying  some of the photo applications in the Google Play market (android market) and when Instagram became available for android, i got hooked to it too.  I found some photos of butterflies which i haven’t edited yet.  Resized the photos and saved it in my phone’s memory card.  I tried playing with the colors, contrast, exposure and adding filters and here are the outcome

The first and third are my fave photos.  Now, i’m trying to build a phot collection of butterflies.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend

2012 Semana Santa

 

For God so love the world, he gave up His only Son, Jesus Christ our Savious, His most precious One…

 

This year’s Holy Week was the longest vacation ever.  I was able to rest and take some bonding moment with my family.  Here are some photos of what happened that week. 

Palm Sunday:

 

Holy Wednesday:  Was happy the procession passed by infront our house so i was able to take a shot of  them. I was just wondering why the people were walking so fast (parang may hinahabol hihihi)

 

Holy Thursday:  The start of the lenten season is the start of the “Pabasa” . We always visit my relatives who do this.  Of course we do not join in the singing hahaha but just listen to them.

In the afternoon we attended the Holy Thursday mass (Last Supper and the washing of the feet).  We arrived early so i had a good sit which i can have a better shot of the event.

I remember before, the priest would really kneel below/ or kiss the foot of the ministers (aka 12 apostles) however, for about 2 years now, they just wash their feet.

Happy Easter guys, Let us rejoice and be glad the the Lord has risen.

Doors

I’m beginning to enjoy Pinterest.  This became popular especially to women who loves to collect pictures of their interest.  With Pinterest, it lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes. Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests.

My favorite pinboards are Churches| Castles| Temple| Mosques, Architectures, Abstracts, Baby Photos and Windows|Doors. I’ve browsed my external drives and found some photos of windows & doors which before have no value to me. Good thing with Pinterest, it made me to appreciate these photos.  Mostly these were taken from churches and places i’ve visited.  Here are some of my favorite photos of Doors after doing some edits.

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us. Alexander Graham Bell
