My Gambasetti Experience at TOSH

I have read different raves about TOSH's Gambasetti and lucky for me, I was fortunate enough to try it one time. Upon arriving, I already had my Gambasetti in mind even before the menu was handed to us.

Front cover of the menu. My BF was bullying me that I was that girl on the menu.

At this point, my BF on the other hand, ordered Peppered Crusted Fish with Spaghetti in Sun Dried Tomato Pesto (hmm, sounds yummy). For drinks, I had Pepsi Light while my BF had Pepsi Max. I don't know if it was just me, but at that time, I was clueless that Pepsi Light was served together with a glass with lime. We even asked the waiter about that, and he reassured that it was for me. Haha, pardon my ignorance for that piece of lime.

Can you see my glass with lime?

Alas my meal arrived. Hmm, honestly, I really don't have that "master" taste buds that could differentiate pasta sauces. The only thing I knew was to eat.. Haha.. Well, for this meal, the sauce was like a wringer of McDonald's spaghetti, through its tinge of a sour taste. The only difference was that gambasetti has a bit of tanginess compared to our dear Mc Spaghetti. Aside from that, my plate was a heaven for seafood lovers. I had about more than six pieces of shrimp on my plate. I just hoped that they completely remove the shell to facilitate ease in eating.

I know you might be expecting a review on my BF's meal, but unfortunately, even before I had to get a taste of it, he was already finished with his meal. Oh well, I'll just try it next time haha.

Hooked with "the Walking Dead"

I seldom watch TV series, because I fear I might get hooked up and forget I'm studying. Haha.. Even so, I couldn't help it! This series was introduced to me by my brother, and even though I have just watched the first two episodes, the more I get excited and all.. This series made me think of Plants vs. Zombies though. Anyway, here are some of the casts that made me stay glued to this series.. ;')

Andrew Lincoln as Rick

Jon Bernthal as Shane

Sarah Wayne Callies as Lori

Steven Yeun as Glenn

Oh well, looking forward for future episodes.

Megamind Day

One time during the sembreak, boredom hit Nong and I. We decided to meet up, and we then hit the big screen. This is not just an ordinary screen but a 3d one. Yes! IMAX it is! I might have sounded overemphasizing that fact, but honestly it was something new to both of us. It was our first time to watch it in IMAX theatre. Oh well, it seemed like were one of the last people who tried it. Haha. Nevertheless it's better than not trying at all.

Meet the cast ;'D

Shades on!

Our solo pics. Maybe next time,

I'll do better with my pose. It's kinda awkward.

The movie itself was fun. It was more of a moral lesson imparting movie in a lighter side. So what did Megamind, Metroman, Roxanne and Minion instilled in my mind?

1. "Heroes are made, they are not born."

-- We are the ones who should dictate what we will become. Life is not a one way street. It will always be up to us whichever road we choose to take.

2. True friends are forever.

-- Megamind and Minion's friendship were tested and remained strong through the whole battle. This made me long for my best friends. Hope to see them soon. ;'D

3. People are innately good.

-- No matter who you are, whatever your complexion is, whatever your background history is, no matter how many times you've been beaten for different accusations and no matter how many times you've been locked up in a jail.. he or she still has that goodness within. So don't ever judge right away.

4. Feel free to fall, someone will be there waiting to catch you in the right time. If it still isn't, at least you'll learn in the process.

After watching the film, we realized it was fun seeing the movie in 3d. Hmm, we'll try to save up for more IMAX flicks ;'D

To My Last Semester Before Clerkship

Dear 3rd year 2nd Sem,

Tomorrow, I'll be meeting you. I'm excited yet at the same time anxious on what lies ahead. The past semesters I met were really stern! What do I expect? I'm in the post graduate studies now, so I should learn to love those torturing scenarios. Masochistic as it sounds, but the real world is a lot harder if I wouldn't learn to cope with the slavering day to day rituals of reading, analyzing and putting into practice what I read. There were times I wanted to give up especially on the latter part when my emotions were really crumpled, but no! I won't!. I have lost the real me for quite some time, and I can't wait to welcome that old self once again.

I know you won't promise me a better semester nor would you promise me flying colors, but I'll do my very best this time to be at par with you.

Sincerely yours,

Tel ;'D

Battle of the Laser Tag Arena

Laser tag was like a "counterstrike brought to life" idea for me only in the safer mode. For the past years, I've played on the two famous arenas in the metro: Lazer Extreme at Taguig and Laser Maxx at Greenhills. Having the same concept, I couldn't help but compare the two. Generally, the goal of the game was having the most number of points garnered from hitting your opponent (quite predictable huh!?).

Lazer Extreme in Taguig was considered to be the first laser tag arena in our country. The receiving area made me think I was like in some kind of Star Wars movie. From chairs, to tables, floors, entrance to the arena, all lived up to their space like theme. At around P170 we had the fun-filled 20 minutes of our lives. We were like kids thrown in the playground, crazily running around, chasing one after the other. I remembered having another round of a fight (just spelled how much we enjoyed the game). Their guns have names (mine at that time was Uriel), which was used to designate the top player of the game. The best among the rest would receive a free glass of iced tea.. yey!! Haha..

On the other hand, Laser Maxx at Greenhills is located at the roof deck of Greenhills. We had to go through numerous staircases just to find out alas the playing arena. Comparing it with that of Taguig, their receiving area was just the plain one,which was constituted of couches and chairs for the players awaiting for their turn. They had the same price with that of Lazer Extreme (170 in weekdays, 190 on weekends). The only difference was the allotted time which was 15 minutes at the Greenhills branch. Another difference was that there was no free iced tea for the top player, if you want one, you have to buy it for P25.

After the game at Laser Maxx

Hmm, overall I would give Lazer Extreme in Taguig a 4.5/5 while that of Laser Maxx 3/5 rating.

ADVICE:

> Wear black! Unless you want to be the obvious target.

> Bring extra shirts. Running and playing will make you sweat like your basking under the heat of the sun. You don't want to smell for the rest of the day, do you?!

> Bring water I guess?!

> There are plenty of restaurants around Taguig and Greenhills so you don't have to worry on where to munch in after playing.

> Bring extra money just in case you want a second round of a game ;"D

Have fun ;'D

My First Fro-Yo @ California Berry

I am not really a fan of yogurt. I'd rather have green mangoes over a cup of yogurt. Putting my bias aside, my subsection once headed to calberry for desert. I just ordered the small one with two toppings, m&m's and oreo. The toppings helped in balancing sweetness with its sour taste. At the end, I could not proclaim myself as a yogurt lover. Maybe I still needed further motivation. However, surely this quaint little space should be included in the list of fro-yo lovers. I thought it was a "try again next time" drama for me.

Sorry for the messy pic. My fro-yo

Ubos na ;'D

My Gift to Myself for the Past Semester

Honestly, I just wrote down that title to lessen my guilt. ;'D

While waiting at Trinoma, I strolled around Landmark to see what might be prospect for good buys (but at that instance, I really didn't have any intention of purchasing some). What I was eager to find out would be their latest collection of long cardigans. I've pulled one beige out of the rack and a white crocheted one. I contemplated for how many minutes. I decided not to buy and just save it for some occasions. I strolled a little bit more, and I found myself at the shoe section. Ever since I was young I really had a hard time finding a shoe that fitted me well. I literally have big feet (not that big, chunky, chubby one but more of a slender and long type). When I passed by Janylin, I smiled with excitement because it was "50% marked down". The good thing about items being on sale was that the biggest sizes were the ones left behind. After a little scouring, I found this grayish-black and pink pump on the rack. The next thing I knew, I was already paying at the cashier. Ha Ha!!

They're adorable, ayt? ;'D
