WeChat's Got Special Stickers for Women’s Month!

Wednesday, March 19, 2014


The most awesome person in the world is my Mom. I'm sure most of you will say the same. That goes with your sisters, friends and relatives of the female form. At the end of the day, you hold certain special things in the past. Most of them are memories; and the energy you get from them is insurmountable. I am proud of them!



If you may have seen in recent days, the Philippines in almost every media outlet has celebrated Women's Month. We have participated together with other nations the recent International Women's Day which happened March 8, 2014. To give honor to these individuals, WeChat has just released new stickers to give thanks to the women in your life.


Miss Sweetness Alive - She's that refined woman who's as charming as the one you see in books. Warm and welcoming in any situation. They make you feel comfortable and are always there whenever you need advice. They're exactly like your Mom, or close friends because you can confide to them your hardships in life but still gives sound advice whenever you need it. They are your go to persons if you want TLC. Isn't she sweet?!



Miss Live Wire - They are real born leaders, heroes in their own right. They are the existing alpha in the Greek alphabet. They hunger for the win. If you have that certain femme fatale personality then these stickers represent you. Almost like Wonder Woman and can juggle all the facets of her job and still have time to take care of the family. That's her! She's likely to use also WeChat's Group Chat feature that can get 100++ people in one group. It makes instructions easy to send to a multitude of your work personnel or friends too.


Miss Atlas Trouper - She's always out in the world, finding external forces that could influence and make her professional and personal life better. A go getter, easily can be seen anywhere she goes and inspires others to do the same. She does good things and shares that same trait with other people as much as she can. Use the sticker and you would likely be someone who would use WeChat's location sharing and discovery feature. Try Shake, Friend Radar or People Nearby and you can get more friends in the process. One who's got a happy social life, a better person inside and out. That's Miss Atlas Trouper for you!



Miss Get Happy - If she's too non predictable and radical, she's bound to be the one to think of creative and inventive things every time you get together then she's Miss Get Happy. They will always try to make you happy, get your spirits up whenever she sees you need it. Her free spirit will be always contagious. They think about happy things and enjoy if you get bursting into laughter. They are the sunshine to your rain and the first person to start good times. She's bound to use WeChat's Walkie Talkie or Hold-to-Talk voice notes to get you in the mood. She also initiates those fun times by making video calls so that no distance can be between you. We always have a friend/sister that's like that. Something that would instantly tell you to utter the words "I love her!". A woman who never simmers in dull moments and makes your gloomy day a brighter one on cue!

WeChat has got so many ways to get you connected with the special people in your life. They also have stickers that can tell that special one what you feel in that particular time when text is not enough. To my Mother, sister and friends, thank you for being there for me when I needed it most. I might not like most of the women outside my circle, but if it's you... I'd make an exception to love you just like you do me. :)

Quick Stomach by CHADO The Tea Room

Monday, March 17, 2014


It was a hot afternoon that greeted us in the new Federal Land developed property along Macapagal Avenue called Bluebay Walk. It houses one of the nicest and newest food joints in Pasay City called Quick Stomach. This area would be an ideal future shopping destination and the placement of these food establishments beats the hour since they will garner the crowd both coming from the Mall of Asia and the planned PAGCOR City. 


Longganisa with Rice and Egg

Quick Stomach serves all day breakfast, Filipino dishes and more. That afternoon, we were treated to their specials and favorites. Almost all of them were served with a side of Sitaw (yard long beans/green beans); although they say this would actually differ as what's freshly available in the market; makes sense.


Tapa with Rice and Egg

There are also several SILOG servings that are available but regularly they all serve this with plain white rice. It's healthier I guess, but they have different cooked rice varieties available on the menu. Longanisa, Tapa, Tocino, Ham, Tuna/Pork Sisig, Lechon, Tinapa, how else can you resist not having breakfast/lunch with that on the menu?

Oh wait! Here's the Executive Meals!

Happy Birthday Rocco Nacino!


You've probably seen this good looking guy in my site a few times. It's cool because he's one of the most down to earth people in showbiz that I have ever met. Rocco Nacino has really made it. We went to a small public high school in Makati to celebrate his birthday. This happened a few days ago. Together with his Mom Linda, Dad Ralph, his sponsors and GMA Artist Center, they gave Makati High School wholesome entertainment and a little treat for their library which I'll tell you about in a bit.


When I arrived they were already having a small singing contest and we were surprised to see some of the students were really talented. 


This guy right here even had an RnB kind of voice. He can pass as a professional singer!


This girl however had the time of her life as she serenaded Rocco and even sat on his lap a couple of times. The other students were jeering and even asked her to do more. She won the small contest by the way! This was so much fun!


Then Rocco Nacino himself went to the front and danced with the students of Makati High Schoool. It was something they would really cherish in their lifetime  as one of GMA's greatest actors was right there in their school library.


Makati High School is a public school and judging from what I've seen with the size of their library and school grounds, they are probably some of the city's less privileged ones. Since there is a lack of facilities and references in the school, Rocco Nacino took funds from his own pocket and gave them 6 months worth of free WIFI access for the whole school! :)


The Principal said that it is the first time that they have received such a grant and is extremely thankful that the students will now have a way to further do research since their library isn't that fully equipped with references that they need. 


Rocco also had three wishes for his birthday. I'm sure it will all come true. We sat down with him later on after the festivities. The kids and everybody else had lunch courtesy of McDonalds!


We asked him about his plans in the next few months, he says he 's taking a well deserved break and he's going to Europe for a tour. When asked if he's alone, he didn't admit it but it looked like Lovi Poe is going too. Bah, looks like they are getting pretty serious noh?! 

I asked him about what he wants to do with his nursing degree since he's a full time actor now, he says it's in his plans to later on finish med school and says he really wants to be a doctor. He says he will definitely make time for that.


Rocco Nacino is so blessed that he has his family behind him. Their support has always been something that he is so thankful for. They didn't even know that he'll go so far in starstruck; but when he did, they have each made their contribution in making who he is right now. His Dad is his co-manager so he's pretty confident that each project he takes is with their approval. He is already successful in my books. Congratulations on your career Rocco! Happy happy birthday! I hope you stay as good as you are right now. Thanks for having us on your special day!


Ciao!

Not So Nice Ma Mon Luk Experience

Not everything is as good as it seems. My folks and I went to Ma Mon Luk in their branch in Quezon Avenue. The place is quite close to home and I really wanted to go here since they serve the original stuff since who knows when. Mum and Dad went ahead of me and ordered Beef with Oyster Sauce and Ampalaya Con Carne. They loved that so much that they ordered more rice than the usual. When I arrived, I immediately ordered the Original Ma Mon Luk Special Mami which costs 105.00 pesos and their Special Siopao too which costs 60.00 pesos.


I was a little disappointed with the Mami's broth as it was a little too salty. It probably was cooked for hours with bones but they probably put too much fish sauce hence it ruined my dreams of Mami perfection.

The Special Siopao too was okay, however the sauce that came with it was too runny and too salty as well. I needed Coke to hose down the saltiness since it's really that awful. I still ate it because I paid for it. :( I'm a little sad that it didn't meet my expectations. Would I go back to have another one? NO. If my Mum and Dad would go, I'd rather order the other things in the menu. Sad to say, that was a bad meal.
