Rechargeable Batteries & Charger

After getting the mini r/c you just gotta have spare batteries or buy really often. Since everyone is thinking "green" we got the rechargeable ones from cdr-king (as usual). We bought the charger that has two AAA batteries that come with it plus two other. Good thing about the charger is it charges AA, AAA and even a 9v battery. Sad thing is, the sales person I talked too said that the led light it has should turn green after charging is complete. I have been using it a couple of times and I haven't seen it turn to green (good thing there are instructions in the back on how long a certain battery is needed to be charged). My brother has one of these chargers and he too said that he hasn't seen it turn to green either. Anyways, it's a good bang for the back. And since it's does recharge batteries it lessens the electronic waste here in our house.

Brother's Burgers Specials

After watching too much true blood and seeing as the setting is mostly in the bar/resto. People in the background usually order fries, burgers, and beer. This got me to remember the sale the Brother's had a month ago. They shaved half the price of the 1/2 pound burger. After one burger and a couple orders of fries and a choice of soda. You'll be sure you just gained 1/2 a pound. I just wish they do another half price promo soon. I'm just soooo craving for their burgers again.

Caul ER by Takara Tomy

This has been in shelves of different toy stores around the metro for quite sometime now. Just recently, curiosity got me and now one is in my possession. It's a mini r/c car that fits the palm of my hand. It also comes with a very small remote that could easily be lost in your pocket. Was very excited unboxing it and putting it together (minus the part that I had to put very tiny stickers on various parts of the car to make it look less of just a shape of a plastic car). Placed the batteries and tried playing with it. While I was playing with it, I found out a not so good thing about it. The damned thing is controlled through IR. Meaning, you had to have the remote ALWAYS pointed at the car. It was quite annoying at first but then I realized that it was meant to be played on tables or short circuits that could be placed on flat floors so that you don't have to move a bit. After playing with it more, I came to realize that it is fun trying to dodge coffee mugs, pencils or other obstacles you would normally find in an office table. Great for killing time. Plus it's small enough to put in your pocket after your done playing with it.

Tuding's

If you're from the south I bet you've either heard of or even tried one of the three branches they have (muntinlupa, pacita, binan). Last night was my return to Tuding's. I haven't eaten at this place for quite sometime since it became out of my way. Since we were in the area, might as well eat here. They have now occupied the adjacent lot (foremerly a family ktv bar/restaurant) and they now have a lot more space for tables and chairs. They also added Tapsi, Toci, and I think Bangsi to their menu (wasn't really paying attention since all I wanted was the Pork chop. haha!)

After ordering my usual Porck chop, fried egg with fried rice (extra rice and egg please) mixed crushed chili to catsup (for that added zing) and had my fill. Eventhough it's just a simple meal but it just has that extra something that makes you come back.

The Sizzling Pepper Steak

We recently tried out the new steak house that just opened at Festival Mall Alabang. It's called The Sizzling Pepper Steak (owned and operated by Teryaki Boy Group Inc.). It's a cross between japanese style cooking with western steak. The place has the same feel like Sango Master Burger. It has large LCD tv's showing how to properly cook the steak and maintain its taste. It's because they serve it almost instantly that you have a part in cooking your food. I also read in the menu (before saying to myself "oh sh*t! the menus' written in japanese!" - good thing it had translations at the bottom. hahaha!) that their hot plate plays a role in properly cooking the steak.

After taking a long hard look at the menu I decided to order Fresh Mango shake and Katsuni (breaded pepper steak with scrambled eggs cooked around it served with their special sauce topped with onion leeks) while my wife ordered Teryaki Hamburg and Iced Tea.

The food was very filling and I enjoyed it. I just wish that I didn't have a snack before we ate. I was stuffed after our meal.

McDonald's Twister Fries

Thanks to the showing of Ice Age 3, McDonald's has again added the twister fries to their menu. Now you could order the twister fries with their Icy Blue Sprite Float. And if you order a double cheeseburger, Big Mac, or a Quarter pounder I guarantee that you'll feel full (unless your more than six feet tall and around 200 pounds. hehehe).

As of now, i'm still fighting the urge to go back to a McDonald's near me because i've been eating this for almost everyday since it came back. hahaha!!

Imus Park - reinvented

Actually, this should have been posted a month ago but i've been quite busy. The old park had an old type of setting with the old spanish thing going on and it was quite pleasant. Now, there is a flagpole in the middle, the park benches are replaced with steel benches, the monument has been revamped and the whole floor is a big Philippine flag.

Personally, I still liked the old one setting. It felt more cozy than this new theme. Change is inevitable we learn to accept it.
