Now, this is a local favorite that you don’t hear a lot among tourists which only knows Hainanese Chicken Rice as the only Singaporean food out there.

I finally got my orders and you will be surprised that our Phil Mail system still works 🙂 Qoop.com is a digital to print web service currently running beta printing products to two of my favorite online photo service: Flickr and Buzznet . Streetcards.com offers a service of innovative business cards and I use it for ordering blogcards with gapingvoid designs.
…It is too expensive though at about P56 or $1 per blog card so I had to use it and give it to people that matters 🙂 Would I order again, maybe not because it is way too expensive if not for the copywrited gaping void cartoons I would have not ordered it.

If you look at the center of the prototype above, the LCD screen acts as both mirror and the TV which is a very neat architectural execution (which gave me an idea for my condo).
…On 3d virtualization, there was an interesting demo on virtualizing a physical space (in this case, the lobby of cool town) in a tablet PC and as you move it, it changes views to where you are physically oriented or looking at.
…Hmmn, lets see if people will start working isolatedly in a bike or spaceship type of mode where it promotes two screens, one for business applications and one is for personal/ games so that you can work life balance 🙂 We’ll see about that.

Viaje del Sol Review

Topics: Viaje del Sol

Sorry for starting this on a sour note, but we were disappointed because the Patio Verde is a hole in the wall grilled beerhouse and even if the food is great, the whole ambiance and crowd is not appropriate.
…Patis Tesoro was the one who started this Viaje del sol concept and I’m glad that they marketted the whole San Pablo and Tiaong as one destination rather than competing with each other.
…One you are in the main highway, Maharlika along San Pablo City, There are alot of signs going to Kusina Salud.

Chef Pat is located in Northeast greenhills and just a perfect place for a Sunday Brunch — yummy 🙂 Sometimes, Pat Choa would be invited to people’s house to cook at their own home (imagine that).
…Now this one is magical because the very thin slices of tuna flakes on top of the crust is moving and it was fun to watch like it was alive.
…There are a few but we don’t know what the story is, so maybe an intruiging piece of art or cloth, or dining ware would be appropriate.
