Rockin, Dining & Rollin at Red Box!

Dragging along a couple of people from my office is hard. We're serious business minded people and we barely go out. It's like the norm for around 5 years because we have different priorities. It was a great thing though that I got hooked up by no less than Ms. Cecille Van Straten of Chuvaness.com and I'd like to thank her for this bit (Thanks Ms. C! :) ).

After getting the reservations to Red Box fixed, we walked to the Eastwood Branch which is a stones throw away from our office. It's inside the Eastwood Mall, top floor right beside the Cinemas. It was my second time to be there but I didn't really get to go around that much the first time because I had to cover an event. They assigned a cozy room for us which is near the entrance. It was quite neat because I didn't even know it was going to be that BIG!

Yeap it was HUGE! (Photo courtesy of the Red Box Facebook page)

I didn't know it was going to be that huge, we were only five people because the others backed out. Of course they envied us so much afterwards that they wanted me to book the place again. For starters they've got a couple of dishes prepared for buffet. We dug in and got a taste of what they offered, just take a look at my full plate!

Cream Dory with Lemon-Butter Sauce, Bok Choi, Pork Slivers in Hoisin Sauce, Pork strips in Tomato Sauce... doesn't that make your mouth water?!

We never got dead air while we were there because we never ran out of things to do. It wasn't just Vidoeke that we had on the room, there's a full grown pool table too!

It was the perfect way to welcome our new Mexican office mate to break the ice. As you can see we had lots of fun singing our hearts out on state of the art audio equipment. Everything was easy and accessible. It was all computerized and we didn't really need to look at huge volumes of books to look for a song. Their system even displays the top hits and they never run out of new songs too! If you are not in the mood to sing, they've got concerts and MTV style videos you can play to your hearts desire!

Service was impeccable. Their crew always checked on us if we needed anything. You can easily call them too on the phone if you need something else done on your party area. This guy below always made sure we had something in our hands to drink and they've got a wide variety of drinks to choose from!

It was soft drinks for the girls and a couple of bottle of beers for the guys! Nope we didn't get drunk this time but if we ordered more that would be a BIG possibility LOL!

So the next time you and your friends decide to have fun right in the heart of the city, try to get a reservation at Red Box and you'll surely gonna have a grand time!

Need I say more?!


P.S.
Thank you to the nice people at Red Box Philippines and Kim Ilagan for making our time there worthwhile! I'd gladly go back there for more fun! =)

Red Box: Rock, Dine & Roll

New Blogger App for IPHONE works with IPAD2!

It looks like I'll be blogging more frequently because of the availability of the new IPHONE App for Blogger. Guess what, it works for the IPAD2 too! Now it will be more convenient than ever to harness the power of social media right in the comforts of your apple device. Google finally gave in to the demand of this other OS but probably will stir the feathers of android loyalists. Will this mean a lot more applications from android will switch to this more commercial one?!

Why in the world did it take so long for them to do this?! Will they keep it simple like now or will they have more features in the future so they can battle it out with the paid apps that already have existed in in the Apple Store?!

I'm sure those paid apps are beggining to feel the impact on their sales anytime soon! capisce?! :)

Just search the app store for Blogger and this will show up as onenof the choices.. Best of all it's free! :)

Starting Up Businesses

In this day and age it is so hard to put up your own company let alone expand because of economic times but it is essential for growth. Making your products and services available in a larger area essentially would need manpower and logistics. That can cost a lot; but how can we make it affordable for everyone without breaking the bank?! That's one hard question to answer for any economic expert but there are people that can help to make that happen. If they succeed expanding and making your institution grow your, return of investment is simply going to be a reality. If you reach a wider audience and the products or services are good then there is no reason why your business wouldn't flourish. Some would even suggest getting involved in the global market; why not! Maybe startup incorporation is the answer.

Naturally there are certain factors to be considered but with a trustworthy counterpart in all these locations; it's a great thing to start with at any point. In this fast changing world we always wish for the good life. We can only do that if we invest with the right people and do it with the best decisions that we can make at that time. It should be done with a lot of planning. We also should expect to perform a lot of improvements in the business if problems occur. Success is inevitable and in the long run it will be best for any business that requires geographic locations involved people and services that you can honestly give your name to. The brand would stand if you get the best people to work for you but it doesn't necessarily have to be costly. Find a partner to start the ball running for you and not against you. Get someone who knows what they do and you'll make better choices professionally for your business. It's a good thing!
