Parties have a demi-monde, too, and when the shoulder to shoulder slew of people greets your sight at the entrance gates then you know you have come to the right place. There is no real science to make people keep coming back to one setting but Vudu somehow manages to make that effortless down pat.

Did I mention that their lounge is sexy?

The Pakalistas decided to try Mexican food at Mooon Cafe at The Walk in I.T. Park, Lahug. The food they say was not as impressive as those served at the original restaurant in Guadalupe. Be that as it may, the one at The Walk is still a great Cebu restaurant to visit. There aren’t that many restaurants in Cebu with such lively decor. The food is okay, and the ambiance is okay too.

Check out the Pakalistas’ food choices at Mooon Cafe here.

November 15, 2008- After spending precious moments with my team mates, I rushed immediately to home to change outfits! Yeah, you have to wear different attires on different occasions! That’s a rule of thumb for queers! Hahaha… My real plan is to sleep, nothing else but sleep! I know, I’ll be having weekend blasts of meet ups! As usual, I broke my own rules!

I didn’t sleep; instead I managed to upload our team lunch pix within an hour! When I’m done, I took a shower, put on my dress to kill fit, slid my portable to my white Corz bag and rushed to Figaro, the terraces of Ayala to see old and new faces of Cebu Bloggers Society!

The girlfriend and I love this quaint little restaurant near her school. The place serves awesome pasta, ginormous porkchops, and their specialty, buffalo wings. You see, I love buffalo wings. If there was a kid in chicken wing school who bullied all those nerdy asthmatic chicken wings and gave them wedgies, it must be the buffalo wings. I swear, they have an almost genetic advantage in terms of awesomeness over all those plain stupid fried chicken wings. And let’s not get started on how wimpy and lame-ass tinola wings are. Sheesh.

Anyway, for the longest time, their menu has piqued my curiosity. Okay, anything with food names written on it makes me curious and horny, but you didn’t need to know that. So my point is that this restaurant serves the most number of buffalo wing variations ever. All my life I thought that there was only one kind of buffalo wings, and that it is heavenly enough already.

Turns out I’ve been living a lie all along. You see, there are four varieties of buffalo wings. And one of them is called “Wild”. Yes, wild. Like your mom last night. Read More »

If you ask most people who they think is the best basketball player of all time and I’m sure their answer would be Michael Jordan. I’m sure not everyone will agree on that but we can all say that he’s one of the best basketball players ever, right?

Because of his skills, exploits, hightlight reels and achievements in the basketball court, you’d think that no one could ever beat Michael Jordan in a game of one-on-one.

Earlier this year, during one of the sessions in Michael Jordan’s exclusive basketball camp called Flight School, an ordinary guy, a CEO for a mutual funds company named John Roger Jr. did the inevitable. He beat Michael Jordan in a game of one-on-one.

You don’t believe it? Well, there’s only one thing to do and that is to click HERE and check out the video of what happened.

Name of Establishment: Teriyaki BOY
Location: 2^nd fl, the Terraces of Ayala Center Cebu
Types of Food: Japanese Style Cuisine
Over-all place: Feel the Japanese Ambience
Ratings (1-5): 5
Url: http://www.teriyakiboy.com.ph/portal/

When the terraces of Ayala Center Cebu opened its food-lobbies to the locals and tourists of Cebu, the very first restaurant that I self-feasted is Teriyaki Boy. I so much heard about it through my buddy’s reviews. I surely did try to dash in to taste whether TB really is worth a dining experience. I obviously went their alone! My work pals just backed out due to some personal reasons that are unavoidable. Good thing, I still have the heart to understand them!

The Interiors:

It just opened its doors to possible Cebuano regulars so the place is really clean and the flat dining boards and seats are spanking new. The yellow color is dominant surrounding the whole zone. The area has a capacity for only a number of seats. It’s not really spacious but the dining tables are set confined for you to have at least a good dining experience. The aisles are skimpy and more chances of elbow-rubbing with other guests. Now, that could make you uncomfortable. Well, you better concentrate on their food. It’s mores surprising!

Aktor, saksi sa milagro ng santo sa San Pedro, Laguna; Ai Ai, di susuko sa kalaban ng anak

NAGKUKUWENTO ang action star na si Efren Reyes, Jr. sa birthday party ng peryodistang pampelikula na si Dennis Adobas sa Merville Park Parañaque City noong Sabado.

Totoo raw may milagro ang Santo Sepulcro sa Landayan, San Pedro, Laguna.

“Nang pumasok kami sa loob ng simbahan, ang lamig-lamig ng hangin samantalang ang init-init sa labas. Kinilabutan nga ako, e. Parang may sumuklob na liwanag sa buong pagkatao ko,” sabi ni Efren.

Pati anya ang kanyang kasama, ang nars at kasintahan niyang si Zeny Celestino ay nakaranas ng mahiwagang pangyayari. “Kinakawayan daw siya ng santo at pinapapasok nang dire-diretso sa loob,” kuwento ni Reyes.

***

“Saan ka naman nakakita na parang may humaplos sa batok ko na kamay? Nang salatin ko ‘yong batok ko, wala naman. Pero may parang nakadantay sa aking likuran na kamay ng tao,” pagpapatotoo ng aktor.

Hindi anya siya panatiko pero iba ang kanyang naranasan. “May parang maliwanag na, alam mo ‘yon, silahis sa may likod ng santo. Kinilabutan na naman ako,” wika ni Efren.

Mula noon ay ipinangako ni Efren na lagi silang sisimba sa Santo Sepulcro kasama ang kanyang girlfriend.

Samantala, nang magtungo sa National Bureau of Investigation Special Task Force si Ai Ai de las Alas ay pormal siyang nagsampa nbg mga reklamong grave physical threats at intimidation laban kay Melvin Buceta, isang tindero sa Mini Stop Convenience Store sa panulukan ng P. Noval at España sa may UST.

Kaugnay ito ng reklamo ng labing-anim na taong gulang na anak na lalaki ni Ai Ai na nagkaroon ng engkuwentro sa mga tauhan ng tindahan. Sinabi ni de la Alas na pinabalik pa ng mga suspek ang kanyang anak sa lugar at pinitserahan ito ni Buceta. Nakabantay lang anang komedyante ang isang security guard na parang sinisgurong hindi makakatakas ang bagets. Ayon sa simupaang pahayag ni Ai Ai, isinalya pa ni Buceta ang kanyang anak sa isang sulok at sinuntok sa parteng likod.

Napagkamalan ani Ai Ai ang kanyang anak na shoplifter at sinungaling.

***

Pero hindi nagpahuli si Buceta. Nagpunta rin siya sa NBI at may counter-affidavit siya. Kinontra niyang lahat ang mga akusasyon ni de las Alas.

Pinatunayan niyang ang anak ni Ai Ai ang may kasalanan at nagsimula ng lahat.

Galit na galit si Buceta sa kanyang opisyal na pahayag at nangakong hindi niya titigilan ang mag-inang Ai Ai.

***

Opo, sa totoong buhay nangyari ang lahat ng ito.

Bagamat may bagong teleserye si Ai Ai sa Channel 2, ang “Volta,” siniguro niya na ipaglalaban niya ang kaapihan ng kanyang anak sa tunay na buhay hindi bilang Volta kundi bilang ina.

“Hindi ko hahayaan na apihin ng gayon na lang ang aking mga anak. Magkakamatayan talaga kami. Alam kong walang kasalanan ang anak ko kaya magtigil na siya,” pahayag ni Ai Ai sa presscon ng “Volta” sa 9501 Restaurant sa itaas ng ELJ Communications Centerkamakailan.

“Sana nga ay maging totoong Volta na ako sa tunay na buhay. Kasi, si Volta, hindi umiihi, hindi nagpapalit ng damit. Sana, gano’n na lang ako. Pero kahit hindi ipagkaloob sa akin ‘yon, ipaglalaban ko ang mga naaapi lalo na at kadugo ko,” determinadong sabi ng komedyana.

Itinanggi naman ni Bangs Garcia na nag-isnaban sila ni Roxanne Guinoo sa taping ng “Palos” dahil kay Jake Cuenca. “Naku, malabo pong mangyari ‘yon. Kahit na bago pa lang ako, hindi ako gano’n. Unlady like po ‘yon,” pahayag ni Bangs sa umuusok na tunggalian umano nila ni Roxanne.

Pinag-aawayan umano ng dalawa si Jake. “Hindi po totoo ‘yon. Kami pa rin ni Roxanne at hindi ko siya ipagpapalit,” paniniguro ni Cuenca.

Pati si Guinoo ay napapa-Hesus pag sinasabing nakikipag-away siya nang dahil sa lalaki.

***

“Wala pong nangyaring iskandalo sa Macau, China nang mag-shooting kami ro’n. Hindi kop o gagawin ‘yon nang dahil lang sa lalaki,” paglilinaw ni Bangs.

Samantala, aminado naman si Roxanne na lumayas na siya sa kanyang mga magulang sa Cavite dahil napakalayo ng lugar sa kanyang trabaho sa ABS-CBN.

Umuupa siya ngayon sa isang condo sa may Channel 2 kaya madali na siyang nakakapunta sa kanyang mother studio.

Hanggang ngayon naman ay hindi pa humuhupa ang paghanga ni David Pomeranz sa lokal na singer na si Marri Nallos, ang kontrobersyal na mang-aawit na nakikipag-agawan ng titulong Crystal Voice of Asia kay Sheryn Regis.

“Napa-flatter po talaga ako pag sinasabi ni David Pomeranz na I can sing very well. Kasi, sino ba naman ako? Bago pa lang ako sa industriya samantalang sikat na sikat siya sa buong mundo,” sabi ni Marri.

Nagkasama sina Marri at David sa isang show sa Eastwood kamakailan at nang marinig ni Pomeranz ang boses ng Filipina singer, naku, hindi magkandatoto ang banyagang balladeer at pilit na inalam ang pangalan ng kumantang nag-front act sa kanya.

***

Ang isa pang bilib na bilib kay Nallos ay ang nagbabalikbayang si Tito Mina.

Matagal na nagtanghal sa Europe si Tito at sa kanyang pagbabalik sa Pilipinas ay si Marri ang kanyang napili na makasama sa concert.

“Karangalan din po na makasama ang isang beterano nang singer na tulad ni Tito Mina. Ang dami kong natutunan sa kanya sa performance. Mabait siya at hindi maramot sa pagbibigay ng pointers sa mga tulad kong bago pa lang,” sabi ni Marri.

***

Nagsu-shooting na si Sharon Cuneta ng “Caregiver” sa direksyon ni Chito S. Roño.

Laging excited si Sharon sa bawat araw na humaharap siya sa kamera dahil ito ang kanyang pasyon sa buhay.

Panay ang papuri niya kay Chito bilang direktor dahil iba rin ang drama nito sa trabaho—mabusisi.

“I have always been dreaming of being directed by such wonderful filmmaker as Chito Roño,” pahayag ni Cuneta.

***

Sinabi ng Megastar na ang buong production staff ng “Caregiver” ay pupunta saLondon at iba pang lugar sa Europe para roon tapusin ang mga nalalabing eksena.

Pagpapahalaga sa mga migrante ang tema ng pelikula.

Hindi malayo sa puso ni Shawie ang mga Overseas Filipino Workers dahil ang mga ito ang gusto niyang paglingkuran kasama ang kanyang asawang si Senator Francis Pangilinan.

***

Nang buksan ng direktor na si Jowee Morel ang kanyang bahay sa mga taga-showbiz, marami nang biyaya ang pumasok roon kaya naman hindi siya nangimi na bigyan ng birthday party si Adobas.

Ang daming dumating at bumati sa peryodistang pampelikula kabilang ang kanyang alaga at naging inspirasyon ng kanyang buhay na si Dan Alvaro.

Makisig at maporma pa rin si Dan. Katatapos lang niya ng “Foster Child” kasama si Cherry Pie Picache mula sa Seiko Films at ng “Anak Ng Kumander” ng MP Productions kasama si Manny Pacquiao.

“Kaya lang, mahirap na ang showbiz. Wala nang pelikulang masyado. Mahina na rin ang bayad pero nagtitiyaga pa rin ako,” sabi ni Alvaro.

Dumatal din sa piging ni Dennis ang pamosong fashion designer na si Albert Figueras kasama ang kanyang assistant na si Eric Erandio Valeña. Dumagsa ang movie kabilang sina Chito P. ALcid, Art Tapalla, Linda Cabuhayan, Gil Gomez, Felix Espinosa, Lucy Sevilla, Cita Sarabia, Beth de los Santos, Chat Santos, George Vail Kabristante, Voltaire Lanuza at marami pang iba.

Nagbigay-pugay rin si Rey Raña, ang manager ng mga baguhang sina Christian Ylagan, pamangkin nina Robert Arevalo at Barbara Perez, Mercedes Cabral at sina Mark, Sharla at Nikki. Pati na rin si Austin Pabilani ay nakisosyal.

For the Philippines who rely hugely on overseas remittances, what is happening to the world around it most especially to the United States is utterly disconcerting. Last year, the 11 million strong overseas workers (that’s about 11% of the Philippine population!) sent $14 billion to pump the economy. There are 4 million expatriates from the US alone and about 2 million from the Middle East sending remittances, buying properties and creating businesses (=jobs) in the Philippines. This year while it is expected to remain the same, it is already forecasting a decline in 2009. Who knows how many of these 11 million overseas workers will be sent back home or will lose their jobs in the coming months?

While the US dependency on foreign oil is believed to be the major culprit of its economic fall, the Philippines’ major dependency on its biggest export- its human resources doesn’t seem to be a cause for concern at all for the government. In fact they even brag to the whole world that the overseas Filipino workers (OFW) are the lifeblood of the economy pumping those dollars to support the country’s stability and economy.

In short, thanking the overseas workers for NOT having have to lift a hand, for NOT having have to do their own laundry or wash their own dishes, for NOT getting their hands dirty, for NOT having have to sweat blood and tears because the overseas workers are doing it for them!
