esquire philippines

i grabbed a copy of esquire philippines' (may, the new pin-ups) last weekend and i was somewhat satisfied. i still like rogue better but i do think esquire has the potential to top rogue.

for people who are looking for a good read,  give esquire philippines a try. support local stuff!

redemption

the bayern vs chelsea game proves that the best or better teams don't always win. character, determination and a little bit of luck play a bigger role than talent alone. i was dead tired from my trip from anvaya cove but i managed to stay up the entire time (with a little help from red bull lol). it was certified classic. there was drama. in fact, it was kinda overwhelming (my 32 year old heart was put into stress test haha). there were a lot of heroes... ashley cole more than made up for the absence of terry and ivanovic.  peter cech made that crucial penalty save. mata was aggressive upfront and was responsible for the corner kick that led to drogba's brilliant header. and of course, there's drogba. his confident penalty kick sealed the deal for the blues. redemption at last.

if you have friends who want to know why we love football... tell them to watch the replay. the beauty of the game can't be explained any better than this.   

2012 book 3: esquire the rules

i've been really busy lately. no time for books! which is a very very sad thing. luckily i got stuck at fully booked bonifacio high street tonight because of the rain... for 40 minutes, the rules by esquire kept me preoccupied... funny shit! and i did save 390 fifty bucks. cheapskate! haha.

euro 2012 kits are out!

nike and adidas have already released their official euro 2012 kits.

i already got myself the new spain kit. excited for july! haha.

---------------------------------------------------------------
i think adidas beats nike again! the nike kits are kinda too plain-looking.

for nike kits, i think boni high street has the most extensive collection. for adidas, it's gbelt.

beat the heat II

ang init pa rin! anyway, here're more suggestions on how to cool down this summer.

1) sangria at cerveseria or beso
nothing to do on a summer afternoon? hang out at cerveseria or beso, and get a good buzz from a pitcher of sangria.

2) lemon barley at makan makan
the only place i know where i can find fresh lemon barley. yummmm!

3) watermelon lemonade or ginger lemonade at nolita
get them spiked! there're actually kinda potent. the only item reasonably priced at nolita.

4) four seasons shake at dulcinea
an old favorite. brain freeze!

5) fresh lemonade at muscle beach
summer flicks are more fun with a bucket of popcorn and lemonade from muscle beach!


i almost forgot... if you happen to be at eastwood from 1130pm - 9am on week nights... you might wanna try the iced buko cream shake at the night food bazaar. good shit.

keep your cool guys... :)

game zoo

if you're not in a mood for gambling at resorts world, you can still waste money by dropping by game zone. i lost around 800 bucks last night. lol. but it was fun. good... clean... kind of fun!

check out "the house of hell" - a 4d experience. i hate to admit that there were times that i almost shrieked like an 8 year old girl. haha. good times!

walk this way

finally i was able to get the chance to experience "walk this way" by carlos celdran. for 1,100 pesos, it's kinda pricey for a tour of intramuros... but i do think it's more than that. you get out of it as a slightly different person... perhaps a prouder... more confident filipino.

for tour schedule, check out his blog at http://celdrantours.blogspot.com/

girls of summer 2012

i am stressed from work, and i usually when i'm stressed.... i wanna think of happy thoughts. does this post sound familiar? haha. my list of the best bodies in local showbiz for 2012.

1) jinri park - kimchi in hotness!

2) marian rivera - just don't let her talk... and she's probably the hottest girl in local showbiz

3) cristine reyes - i said this last year... and i'm saying this now... she's born to wear bikinis. beauty is sometimes just skin deep.

4) michelle madrigal - perfect tan and a nice set of twins make her worthy to be in this prestigious list. haha.

5) ellen adarna - cebu has the prettiest ladies. ellen is one hell of a proof!


i notice that work piles up during summer. i should be at the beach chugging beer instead of being stuck in the office working my ass off. life's unfair! i should plan something for next weekend. to the beach!

beat the heat

ang init!!! here's how i keep myself cool.

1) fruit magic
get the red revitalizer or the fruit magic shake! highly recommended!

where to find: piazza, and the other 34 branches all over metro manila and cebu

2) green tea frappe
try out the green tea frappucino at starbucks. i never get tired of it... always refreshing.

where to find: duh!

3) buko ni fruitas
nothing beats a big healthy cup of fresh buko juice in a 36 C afternoon.

where to find: major malls

4) green tea sugarfree iced tea @ chimara
best green tea iced tea in town!

where to find: all chimara outlets

5) jamba juice
my recommendations are peach pleasure, strawberries wild, and banana berry. peanut butter moo'd is also a winner.

where to find: boni high street


temperature is rising. so keep your cool by keeping yourself hydrated...
