December to Remember: My First post for this month

It's almost a month since my last update and a lot has happened since then but I got sidetrack as always with work but manage to update my daily rambling via twitter. I also have been pre-occupied with some of the applications on my iOS device that I almost neglect to use my laptop which is almost relegated to downloading my favorite TV series via torrent (I know it's wrong but if the US networks opens up their TV shows to the world, we won't be resorting into this kind of endeavour), good thing almost all the thing that you can do on computer or laptop can now be done on a small mobile device. 

Yes times flies so fast to the point that I'm still stuck on using my old Sony Ericcson mobile phone and I have been dreaming of getting a Samsung Galaxy S with Android OS 2.3. Call me a tech geek but how I live my life. I have most of the gadgets on wishlist: a laptop, an iPod Touch, a dSLR camera (although the additional lenses and external flash will be added later on but these are not a priority) to which I can showcase some of my photography skills.   

As of late I've been doing some resto/bar/cafe trips on my spare times for my Food blog and my Foursquare and Gowalla social networks. Speaking of social network, Facebook is also one reason why I wasn't able to blog but "hey, everybody is doing it, so why can't I do it". Games like Mousehunt, Urban Rivals and just recently Eredan took most of the time (damn this trading card games, it goes to show I haven't got over with Magic the Gathering) than adding friends.

Oh well that would be it for now. I would hope to do an update for weeks to come because another special day is fast approaching and I'm not talking about Christmas ;) 

And by the way, I would like to greet my dear grandfather Eduardo Sr. a very Happy Birthday (December 17) even though you are gone, your spirit, guidance and the good memories will always be with me. 

The Gorillaz cover The XX - Crystalised (Acoustic BBC1 session)

For those of us who are still wondering who are the people behind the group Gorillaz I found the Acoustic BBC1 session of the song "Crystalised" originally by the XX. As you can see frontman Damon Albarn (of Blur fame) is singing the song.

First Post for November

Ahh November, the last month before the Christmas month begins. This month is one of the special months for me as this is the month that my mother will celebrate her birthday. I also noticed that it's been raining mostly (is this our version of the snow? Perhaps).

Sunday Afternoon Blog: The new Kasagingan

It's been a while since a did a Sunday afternoon blog on Kasagingan. What makes this special is that I am writing  this blog at the new Kasagingan which now located beside the Mongolian Barbecue restaurant (just inside the Sarung Banggi compound). The place is much nicer ambience and much bigger than the previous location. Another good thing about the new location is that the compound has a much bigger parking space which is a plus unlike the previous location.

Aside from the new location, Kasagingan now serves Blended Ice Cream Drinks like the Banana Boat, Vanilla Dream and my daughter's favorite, Strawberries and Cream. My wife ordered "Banana Ispilit" which is basically a banana split served with whip cream and a cherry on top. I on the other hand ordered the classic Crema de Carda which is a serving of two scoops of Vanilla ice cream with some chocolate syrup and Jackfruit strips and two Toron sticks. 

If  you haven't been to Kasagingan as of late, try visiting their new location which still along F. Torres St. but inside the Sarung Banggi compound just beside the Mongolian barbecue restaurant.

First post for October 2010

New blog/website: Urban Rivals Guide

It's been almost 3 months since I discovered Urban Rivals while playing the game on my iPod Touch. Since then I have been playing the game almost everyday as long as I have a wifi connection. With that said I have written several Squidoo lenses about the game and yesterday, I finally purchased the domain "urbanrivalsguide.com" and create my own game guide website/blog under that said domain using blogger.com as my content management system.

Kadayawan 2010 Festival Starts This week

It's August again and it's also the start of the Kadayawan Festival which is celebrated annually usually on the second week of August. For those who aren't aware, The term "Kadayawan" is derived from the Mandaya word “madayaw”, a warm and friendly greeting used to explain a thing that is valuable, superior, beautiful, good, or profitable.

Expect tourists from other parts of the world will grace this annual event. I'm still hoping the I can get my own DSLR camera so that I can join the coverage of some of the events like pictures here taken by miss Jojie Alcantara.

Friday the 13th Blog

Actually there's really no special reason for this blog post just because it the Friday the 13th, but to some who believe in the urban legend that this day is called the "unluckiest day" is (in humble opinion) an exaggeration because they put in mind that the 13th day that fall on a Friday is always unlucky.

I believe that things happen for a reason and we should not put our minds into this "dreaded" number that has hounded most people
