A friend of ours will be married in a few weeks time and we (my friends and I from high school) were given about 4 weeks to whip up his wedding.  Oh yes, very busy with a wedding but its not even ours. Henceforth our upcoming project: Punong Abala & Company (wedding on a budget). Akalain mo, we already have 2 weddings to be "busy" with after this. I bum-no-more. That's is my newest tag line to live with. Today is my first day at work but I'm actually slipping a blog away on my free time. Although I still have a few forms to fill out and a new intranet site to tinker on, I decided to come up with a short log about today: the start of my new journey with Convergys.

For those who knows Patrick Dempsey's humble beginnings in showbiz, you're up for a treat in the movie. 4. Nice sceneries of the country side! 5. very supportive friends ha!

Hahahaha. Kung Fu Panda is star studded I tell you. Featuring the voices of Angelina Jolie, Lucy Liu, Dustin Hoffman and Jackie Chan to name a few. I just love this line by Master Oogway: "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present." (very spam email and text) If there's a half rating here, I would give it a 4.5 1. Very cute panda. Hehehehe. "Don't tell Monkey" scene ;) 2. Are you sure hindi Pinoy ang scripwriter nito? Check out the (SPOILER) dying Master Shify scene and you'll know what I mean. 3. The training scene at the birth of Kung Fu (sorry, I forgot the name of the lake) is a must see. 4. I think it would make as a good father's day treat.

Thanks to Kurei... may natuklasan na naman akong bago. According to him, there wasn't a time that a long queue wouldn't be present at Chopsticks and Spoon from the time it opens until it closes. True enough, we had to wait in line for our turn to order at kahit nung tapos na kami kumain, mahaba pa rin ang pila. It wasn't even lunch or dinner time. Merienda time lang yun. Service: I guess, their staff dont even have bio breaks. they're uber busy and uber fast too! You can see their cooks cooking non stop on the other side of their countertop. The kitchen can be seen from the customer counter. Menu and Taste: Kurei ordered his usuals but it was the bomb for me! Kaboom! Swak na swak! Chami, pork Siomai, Takuyaki and a 1.5L bottle of Coke Zero. Oh yes, forward march sa gyera. The chami was full of toppings, fresh and tasty.

The chicken or the egg?" These were the questions I had in mind when I was skimming through the creamery's menu the other day. The names of the ice cream dishes, even the pictures, looked and sounded familiar, too familiar... (enter sparkly sound effects) The Magnolia Fun House, where the best ice cream in town was made. It was either a destination for a class field trip or a Sunday treat after church. Happy childhood memories swirling the moment you set foot on their glass door, hearing the sound of chimes as you enter ice cream heaven... (2 snaps of fingers and hand waves 2 inches away from your eyes... huy!) back to reality. Oh yes, once again, after decades, it's time to relive and relish the moment of the the revamp ice cream parlor of the 80's. New colors, new face lift and a new name but will it pass the test of time? We'll see. Kurei and I only had space for dessert on a hot Monday lunch time.

Our ultimate comfort drink in a hard clear plastic grande (or venti for that matter) cup. I had this drink twice but i haven't fully figured out what the consistency should be. My first experience was at the WCC branch at Shaw. It was like the regular frapp only darker. But the one at Pacific Star resembled Java chip (you know, with dark chocolate bits). Either way, its still great. Try one today (mega plug pa talaga eh http://oka3.multiply.com/reviews/item/155 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 21:04:22 -0000 Five Cows This will be my 2nd serving of Five Cows.

This time around, my peek at Banana crunch, Blueberry and Banana Split ice cream Price: expect 150 and up for a dessert order Portions: singles Place: you may want to have seats reserved ahead of time, dinner time on a Friday night can be quite disappointing since the best seats in the house, most likey, are already taken. I hears it somewhere in my lifetime that you can never go wrong on ice creams with fresh bananas. True enough! I enjoyed the Banana Crunch the most, then the blueberry then the splits the last. The Banana crunch has, of course, fresh banana slices, caramel, vanilla ice cream and corn flakes (i think). Creamy + crunchy x banana slices all over your vanilla ice cream = finding the meaning of life on an ice cream bowl Blueberry Ice cream looks like your... http://oka3.multiply.com/reviews/item/154 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 20:56:24 -0000 Holy Cow Chophouse Before anything else.... for the nth time, mukang wala nanamang maniniwala na unemployed ako.... hay... Back to my review. Last Friday, my friends and I headed to TriNoMa for dinner, nothing to celebrate in particular, just dinner with friends, stories to share, crack some jokes etc etc. Good times. Good times. It was my first time at Holy Cow Chophouse, unfortunately, I can't even remember the actual names of the dishes. I hope I can bring some justice to their real identities as I type my way through this. for appetizer: spinach and cheese nachos salad: grilled chicken salad pasta: Margarita Chicken main course: US Boneless Steak and Fried Country Style Chicken Steak Price: Php 200 and up for a dish; around Php 400 and up for steaks. Portions: we had these for sharing. we just ordered separate sidings. Service: they're nice and quick, i wasn't expecting that.

Lewis' classic "The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian" with a little added plot here and there. :) I won't spill any beans here. (Although kahit late na ang showing sa Pinas, at least June, hindi katulad sa iba na later in the month pa). Saw the movie today at TriNoMa with my sistah, Ava (Oh yes, opening day at jam packed ang sinehan, pila balde pa sa ticket booth at sa entrance). I just recently finished the book (like a few months ago pa naman yun) so I was anticipating a lot in the movie; and it didn't fail me and the rest of the Pinoy crowd. Five stars for the following reasons: 1. Lucy and Edmund's roles were as accurate as it was described in the book. 2. The fight scenes are a must see 3. I love the songs "The Call" by Regina Spektor and "This is Home" by Swicthfoot that are featured at the end of the movie.

Salamat sa kanya, kaya ko nang kumain ng walang cracker. Gudlak na lang sa allergies ko (mabuti na lang at mangangati lang naman ako for an hour or so after). Five stars for their Garlic Prawns and Garlic Crab. Dahil handa ito, sorry naman, kulang ang details ko sa review na ito. Ito na ang pinakamasarap at malasang crab na nakain ko so far. Oh by the way, both crabs and prawns were cooked the same way, with butter, garlic and kinda sweet. Superb! Aligue and all! Masarap magkamay!

I was asked by my friend twice and finally gave in the 2nd time. Gee boy, it was a good thing I did watch it last Friday. The movie house at Podium was jam packed, same thing at Eastwood on Saturday. Oh yes, twice ko sya pinanood, on 2 consecutive days pa. Friday with Dowie, and Saturday with Ced: Bunny, Marce liit, mano, and Jen Ong. Gujab di ba? (Oh yes, I'm still unemployed). Laugh trip all the way! 5 stars! I was hoping that the movie won't end that soon pero syempre, kailangan din matpos and pelikula.... after 2 1/2 hours. Uber sulit! The soundtrack is great too! I won't put any spoilers here but the only comment I'll put here is.... ang daming cut!!!!!! it's either to shorten the film or the scenes were too obscene for the "conservative" Filipino viewers.

About 10,000 parrots (Lories and Cockatoos) are caught from the wild in North Halmahera, Indonesia, each year to supply the domestic and the international illegal wildlife trade. <a href="http://oka3.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SENG4QoKCqIAABfPmTk1"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.oka3.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SENG4QoKCqIAABfPmTk1/Cacatua%20alba.JPG?et=bIRfTlIdSTppbISsc0AdHg&nmid=0" border="0"></a>(left, Cacatua alba.  Photo courtesy of dkimages.com)  In their latest report entitled 'PIRATED PARROTS', the Indonesian wildlife protection NGO ProFauna Indonesia, revealed the evidence on the smuggling of wild caught parrots in Sulawesi and North Halmahera in Indonesia to Philippines during their investigation.

It's like National Treasure: Book of Secrets meets X-Files The Movie with the plot revolving on alien remains as the god of an ancient city of gold. (Sorry, just spilled the beans right there). I must say, Harrison was living up to everyone's expectation of leaping through cliffs and iron bars whilst being shot by a handful of fully armed men, a classic American Lito Lapid!

And now we stand at the threshold of the final chapter of season seven. Next week, baby-faced frontrunner David Archuleta will go head to head with scruffster David Cook.
