Vieux Chalet Virgins NO MORE!!!

Lionel, Tiff, Sherry and I

Alas!!! we survived our way from Manila to Antipolo, the place was virtually hidden on a hill! Without my cousin, Lionel "the Lion" Hung, to guide the way, the girlfriend and I would definitely get lost in the woods, literally. Suggestion for the resto: Make BIGGER signs.

Fettuccine de Alfredo

The Sole waiter of Vieux Chalet

Lionel "The Lion" Hung and Tiff
"Gusto ko lahat neto!"

With limited tummies and resources,
we ended with these delicious dishes:

Pink Salmon with Rosti and buttered veggies.

Salmon with pesto-butter sauce on top. Their Rosti (which tastes like hashbrowns) is pretty good! One of the best fish meals I've ever tried.

This is the SAUSAGE FEST!! Loved the mustard!

Due to popular demand by the very insisting Lionel "the lion" Hung, I present you, THE SAUSAGE FEST!!! and it was really good! really!

the highlight of the night- Osso Bucco, AMIGO!(well, atleast for me)

Osso Bucco, or beef bone marrow in English, Bulalo in Tagalog and Sebo in my book , is a great and easy way to have a heart attack.
The tomato sauce was just perfect for the Osso Bucco, making it less greasy-feeling in your mouth. The taste was nothing I've tasted before, It was also good with Rosti.

We were thinking of having dessert, but our tummies said "NO." So we took pictures of ourselves instead.

the girlfriend and the Jap tourist

oh by the way, the view there was really great, unfortunately, we don't have a photo of it! Our digicam doesn't have the power to take such scenery. wahaha

Mow-del shot

Lionel and Tiff (their 3rd visit already!)

Vieux chalet virgins no more!!

I'll try to draw a sketch to the place coz its hard to explain thru words.

But heres one: TALAHIB

DEXTER ( the video game) Rumors

Dexter, the ever so popular TV series, with all the possible gore and the unique main character in it, will be having its own video game!! shhhyyyeeett!!!!! I would definitely love to play as Dexter. Hey, everyone of us has their very own Dexter deep inside.

Wanna drive a smiley car?

the ultimate smiley car

..then you'll have to wait til 2010 for the new Mazda 3 smiley car! Though I'm not a huge car enthusiast, but based on common perception and natural instincts, this Mazda 3 looks too damn happy.

The interiors are good though, to look at more images, click. Looks more like the interiors of the current Honda series of cars.

I don't really blog much about cars, but this one just really made me smile :)

Twilight counterpart: Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Mila Kunis and Jason Segel

Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I think this is where CBS got Jason Segel's character name, "Marshall", for their sitcom "How I Met your Mother."

Blending emo-drama, sex and comedy - smoothly executed by the all-star cast, making it a perfect romantic comedy for men. This movie will also make you wanna go to Hawaii.

Yes, I would definitely consider this movie a dickflick, the perfect counterpart for emo-cheezy- serious Twilight. And hey! The movie also got vampires in it. So do check it out! Download your torrent here.

Starring Jason Segel(HIMYM), Kristen Bell(Veronica Mars), Mila Kunis(That 70's show) and Russel Brand(Some funny brit boy).

FedEx vs UPS: Galactic Mail

Galactic Mail from Asterokid on Vimeo.

This is one of the gnarliest videos I've ever seen. super crisp animation and 3D graphics with witty character design. Love the "FedEx vs UPS" idea. Capitalism rulezzz! Commercialism is LIFE. Loser.

Hope Air21 and LBC would be as fast as these guys.

Is it only me? coz the FedEx guy really looks like the lead vocalist of The Gorillaz.

Boring train turned Artsy Fartsy

Loungy. love the wood finish, makes the whole train warm and cozy!

Gnarly studio! This is the ultimate low brow studio for low brow art!

London! I love London coz of its uber lively art scene. those trains suits as an art studio especially of what it once was - packed full of people and its culture, now, a factory for brain fart.

old, used and none functional train in London, transformed it into an art studio! A great concept that can be applied even here in the Philippines. Old LRT? want one?haha

The BILL! KAching! not bad huh? 840bucks pare.

As I've said, Sushi that my pocket loves.

November 22, the night after my Inasal experience with the wonderful girlfriend - Round 2 with my lil sis and the gf at Ran Ramen Tei! Thanks to my girlfriend for her treat!(She lost our bet in the 1st dinner challenge. wahaha)

WINNER WINNER, JAPANESE DINNER.

That night, Sherry and I ate all the Uni sashimis we can take, and I'm sure it's not gonna be too soon the next time we'll be craving for more japanese.

The sushi was great, it was really fresh! Their tempura was great as well considering the price. too bad the resto is down south (well, almost.) It's friggin far from my place here in Venice (AKA Malabon: yes. we sail with our Gondolas here on high tides)

almost forgot! their mango shake, for 25 bucks only and it was pretty good!

Later that night, while chillin at my gf's. Her tummy began to ache, thought it was caused by the raw japanese dishes. (uni, salmon etc.) BUT it wasn't.

It was simply because of our excessive love for food. :p

The Ultimate Dinner Challenge!!! Bacolod style!

Inasal Express (Bacolod style inasal)

The CHALLENGER: the girlfriend

THE Challenge: 4 sticks of chicken thigh drumstick&2 sticks of Chicken Tail(isol)

wuhoo! go go go!Love.

November 21, 2008. The girlfriend challenged herself(!) to devour 4 sticks of chicken thigh-drumstick (Php80.00/stick) and 2 sticks of Chicken Tail (Php40.00/stick). A stick has 3 chicken tails. Take a bite, and you can feel the grease flow down your throat - that's how oily it is, BUT its so damn good it makes me teary-eyed while eating it.
So I bet her that she wouldn't finish the challenge. If she wins, I'll pay for dinner, and the next day's dinner PLUS! I'll give her a trophy that says "WINNER WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER!" got this phrase from a blog. click me to check it out!

Stick#1: The Challenger was eating like a drifter who never ate Inasal before. took only 3-4 minutes to finish it.
Stick#2: Still looking good, vinegar made her appetite swell. Put some red chili and still was goin like a champ! shyet I think I'm goin to lose our bet.

**5-minute break ('cause we were waiting for the additional - deliciously glowing - Garlic rice)**
thus, she ate 1 stick of chicken tail. I ate the other stick.

Stick#3: She starts to feel the pressure. Literally, tummy pressure! hahaha! but still was enjoying it UNTIL the last bite.

Stick#4 was waiting in front of her to be devoured. BUT SHE GAVE UP! wahaha I WON! yehey!

..and I ate the last stick :D

Conclusion:
Challenger was short of 1 chicken thigh-drumstick and 1 chicken tail.
The both of us ate 3 sticks of thigh-drumstick EACH.
I still can't believe she ate as much as I did. haha!

Therefore:
Sherry's YM status msg: "..wants to pig out!"
My YM status msg: "I'm with the pig!!"

Hellbent on heaven//Protest the Hero Music

Protest the Hero

They have something common with Seth Rogen. Yup, they're Canadian and they do not sound like Simple f*ckin Plan (thank you). Not sure what genre their considered in but for me, their metal enough. Intricate metal with some real singing and no screaming girls so, sorry, this band is not emo.

HAKAN the photographer.

Excuse me of the mature content, Censoring any part of this cool photo is not worth it.

I am a fan of his photos, first saw his works in Deviantart and never looked away since.

HIGH/LOW TIDES.

I WANT HIS SNEAKS!!!!!

Another one goes to THE wishlist.

Utah-based shoe company, Zuriick, IS COOL. Prices goes from $55 - $90 (thats about Php2.7k - Php4k) A bit pricey for us pinoys but quite affordable in the States. I like Zuriik coz its an escape from the usual Vans/Chucks shoes commonly worn by.. EVERYONE here. these shoes could be worn by skateboarders to teachers to hipsters to etc.

I would love to start a local shoe company that makes these kinds of sneakers. clean cut, no extra blingy design, semi-pointed, long shoes which one can wear on any occassion, may it be casual or not. Something I would wear with crisp polo shirt and khaki. Sophisticated and simple at the same time. Hope Marikina Shoe expo sells shoes like these. I doubt it though



Zuriick>>
