North Park Going South

I finally made it back to North Park after a couple of months of not going there.  I was so excited to eat my usual menu choices.  I went to visit the North Park along P. Guevarra, San Juan, MM to get my chinese food fix.

What i like about North Park is that even though they’ve been around for over a decade, they still manage to keep the quality consistently good. Continue reading

The (Not So) Happy Ending at CWC

We were riding in my fave wakepark in the world, CWC.  I havent gone wakeboarding in almost a year and so much has changed since the last time i was here.  The pro shop has a glass enclosure now, and it looks like they have a lot of new merchandise.  The menu was improved even more from the previously awesome menu.  This time, its shaped like a wakeboard and the selection looks fantastic.  i tried out some new stuff and it was expectedly good.  There are also the new accomodations that look great.  Maybe i’ll get to try it on my next trip.  To top it all off, there is the new bar called “Happy Ending” so that wakeboarders have something to do in Camsur when the sun goes down, or so i thought….

THE 3D SCAM – recycled technology!

I really don’t get what the hype is all about and why alot of people are buying into the 3D bandwagon.  There are so many things that i don’t like about 3D.  The funny thing is that the technology has been around since the 1950′s and yet, people are flocking to watch 3D movies like it something that they’ve never seen before.  Whats going on? Am i missing something here?  Continue reading

Flapjacks flopped out

Recently, i had breakfast at flapjacks in greenhills theater mall and i was quite disappointed with the whole experience, except for their only saving grace, which was the outstanding service that we received from management and staff.

Here are my comments from the whole experience…

Ambiance
The place was kinda muggy and humid inside. it seems like the aircon wasn’t really working. The air didn’t seem fresh. The lighting was kinda dark even though the whole place was surrounded by glass.

Menu
Considering that the restaurant was positioned as a breakfast joint, their choices seems limited. There was only one (1) menu item for omelettes and it was the bacon and mushroom omelette. I wish they had more options for omelette.  I didnt really check the other stuff to give a proper assessment. Continue reading

Hey Everyone! i need your help. i am currently in the middle of selecting a candidate for a job opening in my company.  The position is for General Manager. I have 5 candidates vying for the job. Please tell me which applicant i should hire.

Why i will not vote for NoyNoy

Election time is once again on us, Filipinos, and presidentiables are vying to get the vote of the people. As i ponder on who will get my vote, i already know who i WILL NOT VOTE for president.  I definitely will NOT vote for ERAP and BINAY, the 2 biggest crooks in the Philippines.  ’nuff said!

The other person that i will NOT vote for is Noynoy Aquino.  I have met so many people that plan to vote for Noynoy, yet none of the people that i have met could give me a logical reason on why they will vote for Noynoy.  Some of the reasons i have heard include: hindi siya magnanakaw; its his fate; He is the son of Ninoy and Cory; He is the lesser evil.  But none of the reasons point to why people think he is actually a strong candidate.  Usually when someone votes for a candidate, they vote for the person because of what he brings to the table.  In NoyNoy’s case, he brings nothing to the table.

So, here are my reasons why i will not vote for NoyNoy Aquino. Continue reading

UNREAL BAD BEAT on FULL TILT

I am a regular online player on Full Tilt poker and sometimes, i really cant help but think that this site is rigged.  I played 2 single table SnG’s last night and the results of each one were almost identical that i am now sick to my stomach.

Game#1.  I was 2nd in chips and i was Big Blind with KK.  Everyone folded and the chip leader on the button decides to push all-in to steal the blinds. Obviously, i insta-called him and he shows 9J suited against my KK. I was ecstatic.  The flop came out 78T giving him a straight on the flop. UN-FUCKING REAL!!!! For good measure, Full Tilt even gives him a flush on the river to ensure that i was really out for the count! WTF!

So, i figured, i will play another game.

Game#2.  I was again, 2nd or 3rd in chip stack. i was small blind this time with AA.  The guy to my left in late position decides to raise preflop, i reraised him a considerable amount, and he reraises me, pushing me all-in and i obviously called. He had 95 suited. the flop comes out 68T. i was thinking, there is no fucking way this guy was gonna hit, and BOOOOOOMMMM, he hits a 7 on the fucking river. UNBELIEVABLE!!! and he becomes a monster chip leader and i was out.

So, after those 2 unreal bad beats, i decided to call it quits for the night.  I realize that i dont think i would ever want to be a poker pro. Well, i live to play another day.

Starting a Business

So, i am about to venture into another new business and getting myself acquainted with the intricacies of starting one.  I was so confused on the legalities and i finally figured it out.

Apparently, if you are forming a corporation, you do NOT need to register with the DTi.  The DTi is only for single proprietors.  For corporations, you need to register with the SEC. Continue reading
