GSM Flavors iParty

got home a bit tipsy after making it in the first ever GSM Flavors iParty in a condo unit in Makati. after a countless number of times that i had a drinks with close friends, this would be the most fun ever!

of course, we have to follow every house rules made by the host. everyone participated. everyone got excited with things to say in the "Dugtungan" game. congrats to the team that won the challenge.

i wouldn't want to post the party pics here. i might post something that people wouldn't want to be posted. but there are no explicit things that happened. we all just had fun with GSM Flavors.

thank you to Jig and the rest of the gang who welcomed us into a housewarming party. had a lot of games, food and overflowing with GSM Flavors mixes like Lychee Chill, Lychee Kiss (my favorite) and Apple Sprite. best of all, they didn't give me a headache the morning after.

my tastebuds tried GoodFellas

i've been here around 2 months ago but unfortunately i wasn't able to post anything since there are lost of food served in front of me. i cannot concentrate much on that much food and identify how one recipe differs from the other. so now, as i took myself to lunch alone, i can give you my views on Good Fellas Steaks and Burgers restaurant.

at the corner of K-1 and T.Gener streets in Kamuning, Quezon City, stands GoodFellas Steaks and Burgers restaurant. though it may be hidden from the commuters and motorists sight, it can easily be accessed passing Kamuning Road. it is near Brahma Kumaris for those who are into yoga.

inside is clean and surrounded by western decorations like Mafia groups, gangs and guns which signify that people coming in are strong and possess good conviction trying out their big meals. wifi is also very fast that's why i keep on updating my status which each thing happening.

when i returned, i tried Tommy 3-Fingers with rice and side vegetables (Php 325). three breaded and fried chicken strips are best with mayonnaise rather than gravy. you can ask the waiter for the catsup and gravy if you want to but they served it to me without asking. service points -- 4.5 stars.

before i finished, they already served my Toblerone Cheesecake (Php 150). brown Toblerone crumbles on top of cheesecake. it isn't as smooth as other cheesecakes i've tasted but it tastes good.

i applaud the service that they had there. maybe because i was the only customer and i don't have to ask anything. water is served on time to quench my thirst and the crew is very courteous.

you have to try their steaks and burgers since it's their main dishes. they also deliver. call 413-3187.

REPUBLIC OF CAVITE: where food and culture clash

Cavite is the witness to great events in Philippine history. it is where great blood shed from the brave CaviteƱos who fought against colonizing Spaniards and Americans. in this province, a number of ancestral homes also served as sanctuaries to the heroes from Cavite. and here, the whole world witnessed a lot of firsts like the declaration of Philippine independence, raising of the official flag and the playing of the National Anthem.

Cavite is also a window to our heritage. not only with the natural wonders of Taal Volcano, and the ancestral homes brought up good family ties with delicious delicacies which is taught from generations to generations.
