Sky Cable's Official Press Statement

For all Sky Cable subscribers just like me, I just got hold of their official statement regarding the problems encountered after a systems update on their digibox a few weeks ago. This also has something to do with the GMA and 4 other channels who had issues encountered after that update. 

Apparently they have it now fixed!

Now make sure you go ahead and update your digiboxes to the latest one so you would have these channels back. I know some of you still watch programs on these channels, so thank the one above we're back in regular programming. Now where's that remote control when you need it...

Call 381-0000 if you are still having problems with it. Which reminds me... I need to have another digibox for my cable line too.

Pan Pacific Hotel Manila's Pacific 360°

It's a weekend and the day's so slow. You don't know where to go to start partying and the night is young. You could have gone out but its too early, and that's a big problem. Good thing there's a place called Pacific 360° at the beautiful Pan Pacific Manila.

It's high time we check it out!

The Interiors

An overwhelmingly desire for drinks, cheese, meat and other proteins actually lead me here. A couple friends and people from the hotel sat down with us like clockwork. I love the ambiance, quite upscale and classy. A little dressed up but easy. Wooden walls, clean glass tops and a view that would be the envy of same classed hotels. So this is why it's called Pacific 360'!

A spectacular view of the Malate district and a glimpse of Manila bay. Something definitely that's so good to set the mood just by looking at the window of this five star hotel.Pan Pacific Hotel Manila is also home to a lot of tourists/businessmen who actually turn out to have stayed at this place a long time. They've got that arranged, which is something that I haven't seen in other parts of Manila.

Mood music? Don't worry. This awesome lounge actually has performers on weekends. You won't get bored because aside from this, you can still be busy with a billiard game or two while having a smoke or barbie outside the rooftop garden.It's that cozy.

The Food

Food is a plenty in this place. The cheese selection might be minimal but the triangles on this plate melts in your mouth. I loved it on breadsticks. It's not that funky but quality wise it's at par with the big restaurants I've seen. Good suppliers I'm sure.

This one's like an oriental version of Deviled eggs. It's more of savory rather than spicy. I liked it.

You won't run out of horsd'oeuvres because they have sushi, salads, nachos to pair with your favorite beer or hard drink. They also have cocktails and fruit shakes so you can make your friends a little woozy if you plan to get rowdy later on. Nice plan huh? =))

I also munched on the garlic sticks but they have a multitude of these, crackers and breads. The Salmon tartare, the chicken kebab, the mongolian chicken and the heavenly cakes for dessert was divine. 

Choices of red and white wine, local beers, mixes were all but natural for this place. It was overflowing and we enjoyed that part VERY much. They serve lunch and dinner. The Pacific 360° Weekend is available every night from 6:00pm to 9:00pm and only costs PhP900 net per person. It's surprisingly affordable. Sundays to Thursdays at PhP 650 net per person, so imagine what bang for the buck events with friends and family you can hold here. I don't have to convince you do I? =)

Pan Pacific Hotel Manila is one of this city's most luxurious places. The culture and this melting pot of a city gets personified in a five star hotel that is clean, classy and luxurious within proper city limits. It can't be perfect without a grand place for entertainment and more like Pacific 360°. Come visit them one of these days before you go out and experience Manila by night. It won't foreshadow your experience, but it'll start something so good... that I'm sure!

Enchong Dee and Bea Alonzo Endorses Bench/ Skin Expert!

A skip and a hop away from the entrance of fab Glorietta 4 is this awesome place that's got a Bench Fix branch in front called Bench/ Skin Expert. Am I hearing this right? Bench/ doing skin care now? Now that's interesting!

Flaunting their gorgeous bodies on the walls of this humble but quite classy space right beside Ascott Residences are sexy endorsers Enchong Dee and Bea Alonzo. I haven't seen them for quite sometime and I was excited because I heard they'll be appearing in a bit.

Bench the global brand probably wants a more complete lifestyle package based on their aesthetics. Now they can really do it with non invasive procedures, fresh facials and therapeutics that's almost au naturelle (without having to go all under the knife unlike other centers). They have several doctors in house that would be able to give you apt advice about skin care, and procedures that you can take. It also depends on your skin condition.  

On facials, they have a couple procedures designed solely for men that got me interested. I'll probably try out the Bench Man Facial soon (which to my surprise is quite affordable). I was a little busy at the time I shot these scenes so I missed trying that out. I'll tell you about it soon.

They have several rooms that would satisfy pairs, or just plain individuals who want to get their skin perked up, rejuvenated using some of the most advanced skin care equipment available internationally. They hope to cater to local and international clientele since the Makati district flourishes with businessmen, tourists that has got to know what Manila is all about!

Then endorsers Enchong Dee and Bea Alonzo came out.=) Enchong was super dapper in his suit and Bea was so gorgeous in her dress, oh she looks quite amazing! Sir Ben mentioned some points why Bench/ Skin Expert actually existed. It will provide something more to the masses without having to spend too much as Bench/ presents itself as a "lifestyle brand that has come full circle" as they now embark not only on clothing (via Bench), haircare (via Bench Fix) and now skin care (via Bench Skin Expert). Now, they will start putting up clinics like these that can give MORE to the Filipino consumer because the deserve only the best from BENCH.

Enchong Dee who actually looks perfect with his abs says he would love to recommend the Maxi Sculpt Technology services of Bench/ Skin Expert because even in his almost perfect physique he also has some problems in the tummy area and the last few inches he had to shed was so hard to eliminate. Now before a show or sexy scene, he can have that defined and contoured body he always wanted because of the services that Bench Skin Expert has. All their endorsers will now be using services from this clinic too (Sir Ben says so) and they will be truly carrying themselves well perfectly now as they lose love handles and other flabby parts without going under the knife. Don't be surprised if one day Enchong Dee or Bea Alonzo herself would appear beside you while you're having a facial because they really use it. Just check out Bea Alonzo's instagram account and you'll see her doing some sessions on the same services that Enchong Dee also is getting. It's one of the reasons why they are so hot and sexy! I'd like to do that soon too. =) Other services include whitening, skin lifts, acne treatments, keloid treatments, cautery, syringoma, botox, glutathione infusion treatments, intensive hydration - rejuvenation - clarity and peeling plus a lot of other services that only Bench Skin Expert brings at a fraction of a cost.

For more information about Bench Skin Expert services, please visit their website at http://www.benchskinexpert.com or come over to their new branch at the 2nd Floor of Glorietta 4, Ayala Centre, Makati City, Philippines. Inquire and set appointments by calling (632) 6250013 or (632) 6250012. Which reminds me, I need a facial! See you there!
