X-Men Origins: Wolverine Movie Date with...

I got a surprise invitation from a friend from Jollibee to an advanced screening of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which plays to all theaters worldwide on May 1, Friday. The movie was exhilarating, fast-paced and totally entertaining. Hugh Jackman was a standout. The movie is about the origins of the uncanny X-Men. Certain characters were explained as having important roles in the future. Some of the less known bad guys were given explanations as to why they turned out to be bad people. In celebration of the movie, Jollibee has come up with the Wolverine Chickenjoy Bucket...

Grappa’s Ristorante: a grand buffe...

Grappa’s Ristorante is an Italian restaurant located at the second floor of the Greenbelt 3 Mall in Makati City. Noreen and I wanted to see a movie but we decided not to see one when we passed by Grappa’s Ristorante Italiano and they had a buffet special. A dinner buffet for as low as P595.00 (US$12.14), plus 10% tax. Noreen urged me to have buffet rather than watch a movie. So what made her go for buffet other than the price? See this. Seen here is the centerpiece of the buffet, the suckling pig, also known as the cochinillo, as the Spanish would call it....

Breakfast at UCC the Fort

So this post is late, my apologies. Dante and Zee agreed to meet me and Noreen for breakfast at the UCC or the Ueshima Coffee Company. Yes the Japanese know their coffee as much as the Italians do and they helped the lowly coffee shop evolve into a swanky Cafe Terrace located in the right side of town, the Global City, Taguig. Because I am not really a coffee drinker, I opted for their soda instead. UCC serves some of the most filling breakfasts there is. A wonderful way to start your working day, probably better than your average power breakfast at your favorite...

S & R’s Garlic Shrimp Pizza

So it’s Maundy Thursday and there are no open restaurants in the city, but you want to eat something substantial because you have a lot of free time lately. Solution; S & R membership shopping. S&R is a really nice place to shop and their main branch at the Fort was so jam packed with people when I went there this afternoon. Here, you can buy groceries, clothes, appliances, electronic gadgets and even car accessories and tires at lower than usual prices. I took the family (by this I mean Noreen, Eden and my dear Tito Udol) to S&R at the Fort and we had...
