Now Open: Slappy Cakes Eastwood City!

A skip and a hop away from my office is this gorgeous place where your dreams of oh so fluffy sweet pancakes can actually come true. It's been long awaited and we got first dibs on what this establishment has to offer. Are you ready for Slappy Cakes?

The Restaurant Interiors

The restaurant is right beside Starbucks 1880 and Ramen Bar so the layout is almost the same. Seating looks ample and they have occupied the area of former OSONHO that closed down. The bright orange interior is their signature look and signals a very lively all breakfast setting which they plan to do at the heart of Eastwood City. When you enter, it opens up to a bar that serves most of their drinks and it's also the same place where their pancake tubes come out. It's a mix of dark and grained wood, orange walls and the air conditioning is a little soft. Make sure you get the seats where you can have the air conditioning unit pouring out its power because you'll need it. There are griddles on all the tables where you can cook your own pancakes so that will really make this place a little hot than usual if not for that; its understandable though.

The Food

You can choose up to 5 different flavors of pancakes in this place and I must say, the Peanut Butter flavor is my favorite. But for those who prefer more healthier alternatives, you can opt for Whole Grain or Vegan. Kids would certainly enjoy the Buttermilk, Chocolate and Peanut Butter so if you are trying out this place you should definitely bring your family.

Just imagine how much fun you can actually have making your own designs using different flavors, then top it off with bacon, creme fresh, lemon custard, strawberry jam, fruits, nuts and almost everything you can think of. They have lots of choices so take your pick. I love the chocolate chips on mine though which made my pancakes really sweet! Make sure when you are around the area, take some time off and visit their store where breakfast can be served all day, your way! Plus, they've got cocktails, mocktails and fresh juices that can get you going for that next pancake bottle. =)

They'll be opening more branches here and around the world so just wait for Slappy Cakes to be in your neighborhood soon!

Richard Yap aka Sir Chief aka Papa Chen Endorses Senator Ramon "Jun" Magsaysay!

It's almost election day and I haven't been able to at least fill one of the seats in the Senate. I haven't been able to decide who I'm going to vote for because honestly I don't know their qualifications which is something that I base my vote with. An couple of days ago, I was fortunate enough to have been able to track Richard Yap who plays Sir Chief/ Papa Chen on a press conference. I wondered why initially but I guess with the things that some of the people wearing there it was a Liberal Party gathering. I sat down with my blogger friends and the guy across me looked very familiar. It was Senator Ramon "Jun" Magsaysay Jr. and he was talking to some of my friends over coffee.

The last time I saw Sir Jun was in person was way back in college. It was my graduation and he was the guest speaker. I'm a Computer Engineer and a thinker, he's an Engineer too and we all know he's been quite a good Senator in the past. He's coming back and if my hunch is right he's getting voted by mostly the educated and thinking class. In a world where qualifications matter, that's probably what he's got and what he has to offer.

It was my first time seeing Ogie Diaz too. This time however he wasn't cracking jokes. He was serious and taking it to the next level. He was introducing the Senator and I couldn't agree more about what he had to say about him. A proven track record, no anomalies, no unscrupulous people who are associated with him, and he's done a good job in the past. That's Senator Jun Magsaysay for him.

Then he introduced good looking Richard Yap aka Papa Chen aka Sir Chief.

Don't worry, I said that too my self. I mean why in the world would someone like Sir Chief get involved in politics? Why would he endorse a politician of all people? Well for starters and for the public to know, Sir Chief made it known that he wasn't paid to do this. This is pro bono. Sir Jun Magsaysay says; Richard Yap is like a nephew to him and he has called him hijo for what its worth.

Sir Chief believes in Senator Jun. He's also glad that he's into caring for kids which is one of his passions. For some of you that don't know, Richard Yap has done charity work in his spare time. If someone believes in the charities that he also does, then that for him is the perfect person to vote for. It's not a secret now and he believes in a good man like Senator Jun Magsaysay.

People should realize how important this election is for the future of our children. Each time you get someone on the Senate seat wrongly, the country suffers and with that... so does the hopes and dreams of millions of Filipinos. I think I made my mind who's going on top of my list in this election after seeing what he wants to do for the country. It's quite simple actually but its got so many things involved in it. The responsibility of getting your vote counted starts on the election day itself. Without it, I don't think you would have the right to complain about public service. You have the chance to change the country's future on just exercising your right this Monday. Make sure you choose the right guy. It'll be all worth it! If Sir Chief believes in Sir Jun Magsaysay, who in the right mind say that you shouldn't too!

Circuit Fest Music and Skate Concert Happening On May 25th at Circuit Makati!

It feels like God has been good to our country with the numerous bands coming to our shores. This one actually would shock you. It's like bringing the whole West side to the Philippines and mind you the bands are no joking matter. Imagine the likes of Yellow Card, Mayday Parade, We are the In Crowd, The Downtown Fiction, This Century, All Star Weekend, A+ Dropouts, Megan Nicole and Before You Exit all in one awesome place like Circuit Makati plus a multitude of skaters from Manila and the US converge for what is dubbed as CIRCUIT FEST MUSIC AND SKATE which will all happen on May 25th, 2013 at the Globe Circuit Event Grounds. Wouldn't that be amazing?! 

 

We even talked to some of the artists and bands a few days ago through Skype and phone calls. One things for sure, they are so excited to come to the country and perform for everyone come that evening. Would you believe I even talked to Riley Hawk? Yeah you heard that right, he's the son of THE Tony Hawk and he's so awesome on the board too if you haven't seen it. I'm a huge fan of this guy and I was shaking the mere instance he spoke to me over the phone. I'll probably let him sign my back when he comes over for the music and skate fest! Willy Santos also will be there so I'm sure this will be one SICK skate park in the making!

 

They also announced a new area to be opened so you can purchase tickets as low as 800 pesos if you prefer a more economic way of doing this. But really, wouldn't you want to see them up close? :)

So make sure on the eve of May 25th you'll have your tickets ready because CIRCUIT MAKATI's CIRCUIT FEST Music and Skate event will blow your mind on what it truly means to have fun! Oh and I almost forgot to tell you guys about one thing, Mark Salling of popular show GLEE will be hosting the show!

An Awesome Launch of "This is my Dole!"

When there's healthy food I usually shy away from it. I'm a carnivore but I can't discount the fact that these days, I need to change my lifestyle into something that's good for me. I enjoy fruits and juices though and I think I can bank on that when I'm furiously trying to lose  weight. I don't have to stay and eat boring stuff, I learned that a few days ago during the launch of "This is my Dole! ❤" 

These guys who won awards from dance contests in the US actually made this drink a part of their lives. They were energetic, full of vigor and dancing wasn't tiring them at all. These guys are cool... and they drink one thing to keep them up on their feet, it's Dole!

They also announced their new celebrity endorsers; Chef Jeremy Favia, Bianca Valerio, Phil Younghusband, and Jon Avila. Just like me, they have their own favorites. They also say the same thing, "This is my Dole!". 

Chef Jeremy always uses Dole's Tomato Sauce for all his dishes. So that's why it's so good!

 

Ms. Bianca Valero's favorite is the Mandarin Orange, I love that too. It's not too sweet but has all the awesome fruit goodness in one cup!

 Phil Younghusband on the other hand always wants a cup or two of the Strawberry Jelly, I don't blame him why not  because I had some of those too on my fridge. 

Jon Avila to maintain that sculptured physique always see to it he gets Dole singles, variants of Pineapple juice flavors too!

Wherever you are and whatever you do, there is always one or more variant of Dole for you! Make sure you check out your local grocers, supermarkets and get some of these awesome fruit products that only one brand can bring. If you want all the nutritious content to be there and get lovely skin + a gorgeous body, changing your lifestyle and finding your own Dole is easy. This is my Dole! You should find yours too! =)
