Masasabing dito sa mumunting lugar ng Greenhills, halos lahat na ng libangan ng mga Pinoy ay magagawa na. Isa ako sa magpapatunay nyan. Kalilipat ko lamang dito sa lugar na ito mga isang buwan na siguro ang nakakaraan. Nakakatuwa ngang isipin na dati, inaayawan ko pa ang ideyang manirahan dito sapagkat naisip ko na mapapalayo ako sa mga kaibigan ko sa Maynila. Ngunit ngayon, naisip kong wala nang mas-sasaya pa pakiramdam ng paninirahan dito sa Greenhills. [ Read ]

Ligawin kami. Hindi, hindi sa marami kaming manliligaw. Madali kasi kaming maligaw. Noong Linggo, nag-ikot-ikot kami ng partner-in-crime kong si Jen sa lungsod ng Maynila para maghanap ng kuwento para sa proyektong ito. Diyos ko, para kaming mga hilong talilong. [ Read ]

The Best Barbecue in Town!

In a traditional Filipino birthday party, what are the kinds of foods usually served? If it is a kiddie party, you could bet your life that the party will serve spaghetti with hotdog, hotdogs with marshmallows on sticks, fried chicken, ice cream, birthday cake etc. For the more mature kind of party or for a fiesta, you don’t need to be a psychic to predict that there will be lechon (with matching apple in its mouth), pansit, lumpia, beer, etc. Whether it’s a children’s party, a senior citizen’s birthday party, or any gathering for that matter (even inumans and family reunions), one thing is common! Barbecue will always be there! [ Read ]

Kapag nakakita ka ng isang residente ng BF Homes o di kaya’y kahit sino na nakatira malapit sa Parañaque area at nagustuhan mo ang suot nilang damit kadalasa’y sasabihin niya sa iyo “Nabili ko dun sa Ruins”. Minsan naman may maririnig kang CD o mapapanood na DVD at tatanungin mo ang kaibigan mo kung saan nanggaling. “Dun lang sa Ruins yan!” ang kadalasang sinasagot. Pero ang tanong dyan, asan nga ba sa mundo ang Ruins? [ Read ]
