Gerry's Plus Opens at UP Town Center

How many times have you gone out for lunch/dinner with friends and you couldn't make up your minds about where to go? Crazy isn't it? Well, that's about to change if you're near the UP Town Center because Gerry's Plus has opened its doors to the public last March 26, 2015! They're located at the second floor of the second building that's pretty near the exterior stairs.

Gerry's Plus is mostly much like Gerry's Grill but with a few items added to the menu. The ambiance is a little upscale sports shack, with a little country wood interiors too. It's relaxed, not too strict, no dress codes either, which is good in my books. They say they stayed in the Gerry's Grill concept because it would be hard to start a restaurant from scratch, at least with the name recall, you can adapt with the brand right away and you'll practically get the same menu, same price with some added food items of course. Still, it's not inferior to the Gerry's Grill Brand.

The Interiors

They have an open viewing kitchen, exposed beams, wood and slate walls, wooden and upholstered leather chairs mixed in. Seating capacity is around 60-80, with 16 of them in al fresco overlooking the Katipunan strip.

ASUS Launches ZenFone 2 for Southeast Asia

It was an awesome trip indeed! We had to go to Jakarta, Indonesia to witness the Southeast Asian launch of the ASUS ZenFone 2 and their other products. Yes, it's the phone that is rumored to beat all the competition in its class. It's my first time here so it was something I was definitely looking forward to. I've heard so many things about this place. Jakarta has its own charm, a little dated but they prove to be true to their heritage, a history that dates back centuries rooted in religion, built with wars and culture.

As with ASUS, they sternly believe that in order to become great, they have to do the legwork in making the best phones specs wise but have it affordable that most consumers would be able to get one when it finally comes out of the electronic shelves (rumored to be May). It looks kind of simple on paper but in real life, designing a dream phone/phablet like this would cost an arm and a leg if they did it on their own. ASUS had partnerships with other manufacturers so they could get the best there is architecturally but keep the prices down since these components are made by the experts themselves. It's some sort of synergy, a meeting of minds where you make the best fit hardware for your mobile devices.

How About Matching Shades This Summer?

Choosing the right sun glasses would really put anyone into trouble especially when there's so many things out there to choose from. The harsh elements, UV Rays, the glare seem to be a non ending cycle and we've all got to solve that in some way. Is it complicated? Very. Although there are places where you can get the needed help without breaking the bank. You would want something that would be worth it, something that can get you the needed protection and of course still look good on you. Have you visited Ideal Vision Center lately?

Ideal Vision Center has been a leading eye care expert in the Philippines. Wearing glasses can actually help in protecting your eyes and make you less susceptible to eye strain.  IVC has got these new collection of matching shades from brands like Diesel, Police, designers like Chopard, Givenchy, Furla that doesn't just give you the defense you need, but the world class styling in every piece.

Dr. Joy Go, IVC's AVP for Marketing says "IVC's collection of matching shades will have you and your partner look stylish while keeping your ophtalmological health in check while we enjoy the hottest months of the year. We have shades that are also color neutral, so you can enjoy seeing the environment in its natural state. Remember, the perfect pair of sunglasses does not compromise style for functionality because your eye wear needs to be geared for both. Total Quality Vision Care is at IVC's core and we strive to provide customers with premium products that are anchored in health and style. Ideal Vision Center will help you do this in matching styles." 

I can't wait to get my hands on a pair from them. It's also the opportune time since I'm always out on the beach or in the sun these days. Perhaps they also have contact lenses, I'd like to change my old ones and become not just a regular looking guy. I'll have to get my eyes checked with their computerized equipment also, as they probably have that inside the store. I'll visit Ideal Vision Center soon, how about you?!
