Bars and Restaurants: It's Huerto with an "H".


I recently had one of my birthday celebrations held at Huerto, a bar and restaurant located at Casimiro, Las Pinas. Huerto has been one of my favorite places to have fun lately. Ang gusto ko sa palce na to is the ambiance, it can fit any mood. Even if you're a party animal or gusto mo lang mag-chill, this place will soothe you.





Also, it is big, and can accomodate lots of people, at yun talaga ang isa sa imprtante sa isang lugar para sa akin, it needs to be big enough to not make me feel suffocated and for my Claustrophobia not to attack.

Books: Reveal Your Hidden Attitudes With "Kokology"


I've always loved psychology, I find it so interesting to be able to read other peoples mind and give meaning to their movements and analyze everything they are saying. It just gives more meaning to our existence and greater sense to our being. However, it tends to be boring and dragging because, well, because everything that requires you to use your brain for a very long time is boring, ah haha.

Good thing these two japanese psychlogists came up with this book called Kokology, the study of kokoro which means mind or spirit. It asks you to answer questions about seemingly innocent topics- such as the color of an imaginary bird that has flown into your window - and then reveals what your answer say about you.




I liked it so much cause it was

Music: Why Katy Perry Is The Queen Of My Playlist


It feels so good to hear someone sing what your heart wants to say. They are only few artists out there who can sing as if they are speaking in your behalf.  Most of them will just talk about poker, umbrellas and even themselves (uhm, britney?). Not that I don't like those songs, it's just that, I would like to hear someone sing about something new, something that Elvis wouldn't have sang, something only the new generation can relate to. Someone who expresses real feelings and talks about real situations, someone like, Katy Perry.

I love her songs, she just hits home. I remember crying

Top 4: Fashion Trends I'm Sick of Seeing



4. The Crocs - I don't see the craze over it, first of all, it's too expensive for a very strange-looking footwear. It's ugly, too big, unstylish, yes, it's comfortable, but you can buy a comfortable footwear without having a thing that looks like  boats on your feet. (ehem, mcdonald?).







And have you heard how dangerous it is to wear them on escalators? And some people even wear them at the office, what makes you think they are acceptable as formal shoes? (if you'll consider it as a shoe). Please, just please, put those waste of rubber materials back in the closet already.


3. Scarves - Ok, so scarves are acceptable to wear during hot seasons, but you have to wear them on your head to protect you from the heat. So it really livid me to see people wearing it around their necks while in a jeepney on a very sunny day. (Ehem, Winter?)




It was cool to see them at first, you know, inside a very cold office or at tagaytay or baguio, but to actually see them inside the mall, at the MRT and all the other inappropriate places, what's the point? If there is one thing that these people needs to learn is that, hindi lahat ng uso dapat sundin.

TV: Katherine Heigl making love with a ghost on Grey's Anatomy



Before anything else, let me just say that Grey's Anatomy is one of my favorite TV show ever, and that is the reason why I borrowed the Season 5 DVD from my friend and watched it the whole weekend. And also, eversince, Izzie has been my favorite character on the show. I love her storyline, that whole "pink-gown-drama" still makes me cry everytime I watch it. But I have to say, I'm not too crazy about this season's "seeing-a-ghost-and-making-love-with-it-drama", actually, I hate it!





What in the world are those writers thinking? that is totally not called for! Why? Just why do you have to write that? Give me just one good reason please. Just one.

Movies: Why Star Cinema's "In My Life" Is So Special



It was the same time last year, I was an intern at Star Cinema, when I first heard that Vilma Santos and John Lloyd Cruz are going to make a movie together. I then, read some part of the script and found out about "the kiss", the endings, and who's gonna play who. Since then, I've waited for news about this movie, searched for behind the scenes info and even watched the full trailer premiere. A year later, I'm inside the movie house with my mom, watching two guys kiss., laughing at Ate Vi and crying over John Lloyd's grieve. I must say, it's one of the best movie experience I've ever had in years.




It's a very different Vilma

Bars and Restaurants: Jollibee Super Meal Super Tagal


When you work in a call center, time means a lot! Especially, during lunch, where you  are given less than an hour to eat a meal and do all other extra things in a very limited time, that's why fast food chains are created. So it's really frustrating when you go to a "fast" food restaurant, then order your emal, and they ask you if you can wait for 10 minutes before you can have it, and you agree to wait, only to find out that you've been waiting for 40 minutes and your food is not there yet.





First of all,

Fashion: Think Positive, Wear NegativiTEE.



I'm never really a fan of statement shirts, especially those nasty ones which tells you too much information about someone that you really don't want to know about. (e.g.  "Feeling Virgin Pa Rin").

There's an exception however, I found a statement shirt store at Alabang Town Center, it's called NegativiTEE, they feature a line of black t-shirts that has only one word printed on front of it, a negative word that is.




I liked it because it's not common. It stands out. it requires you to have a certain attitude while wearing it. And I always believed on flaunting your flaws and embracing your imperfections. So It really fits my personality, and that's something that is very important when buying a statement shirt. It has to represent who you.




One thing that's nice about it is that, it feels great to see someone else wearing the same shirt at the same time as you are, with a different word on it, I can't explain it, you'll have to find it out yourself. Ah haha.

Anyway, ikaw, what does your statement shirt say?

Websites: The Planet Experience


I signed up on this social networking website  today, my friends told me about it, and warned me that people there are maniacs and all they really want is to get you laid. I still tried it though, ah haha.

 And I found out that it's not as gross as I was expecting it to be. In fact, I found quite a few  interesting, smart and descent people while I'm on there.

Movies: Kimmy Dora Made Me Craugh


One of the funniest Filipino movie I've ever seen! I have to say, Eugene Domingo is one of the most brilliant actresses of this generation, It takes a really smart lady to portray the characters of Dora, and especially Kimmy. I swear, on the first few minutes of the film, I forgot that the two lead characters are being portrayed by only one person. Bravo!



The story was good,  I know the intention was to make you laugh and cry at the same time, the cry part, I'm not so sure. Masyadong pilit. And since it's a Joyce Bernal comedy, there's a lot of inside jokes among the cast and crew that she decided to show on film, which I really don't find funny since I can't relate. And the dog jokes? Hindi na kailangan.
