Starbucks Session Road Baguio - Kim

Suki ka ba ng Starbucks? Napuntahan mo na ba ang Starbucks Session Road Baguio? Napuntahan ko ito noong Linggo lang, June 24, 2012. Nagulat at nagalak naman ako kc di ko na kailangang pumunta ng SM Baguio o di kya Camp John Hay para mag-coffee. 

Siguro naman you will agree with me na ang mga staff ng Starbucks Baguio are more courteous than any other Starbucks branches around Philippines? Marami na akong napuntahan na Starbucks dito sa Pilipinas, di man lahat pero sa mga napuntahan ko ay spesyal ang Baguio staff para sa akin. Dahil sila lang ang kakausap syo na para bang parte ka na ng buhay nila. Para bang killala ka na nila o di kya kinikilala ka tlga nila. Kinakausap ka na bilang isang kaibigan at hindi bilang customer. Natutuwa lang ako doon kc hindi makulit. Iba kc ung trying hard na kumakausap syo na tanong ng tanong ng kung ano ano na lumalabas na makulit pero ang mga staff sa Baguio hindi ganun.

Bago lang para sa akin sa Session Road kahit na sinabing noong October 2011 palang sila nag-open pero dahil ngaun lang ako nakabalik dito. Natuwa lang ako kay Kim (staff) dahil sobrang at ease ako sa kanya. Gwapo pa at para bang close na close kami kung makipag-usap sya sa akin. Di mo to madalas makita sa ibang branches. Although ang isa sa mga staff ng Stabucks Veranda, Robinsons Galleria ay may ganung ugali pero iba tlaga ang mga staff ng Baguio. Well siguro nga kc madalas ang bumibisita sa kanila ay mga turista kya spesyal din ang tingin nila sa mga customer nila di gaya ng dito sa Maynila na di mo masyadong ramdam ang connections sa customer. 

Kya so far ang paburito kong puntahan at gustong balik-balikan ay Baguio City.

Bwusit na SanMig Food Ave sa Urdaneta City

Noong Saturday, June 23, 2012, napadaan kami sa Petron dahil nasiraan kami. Kaya habang nag-aantay ng mekaniko ay nagkape, bumili ng makakain sa SanMig Food Ave sa Urdaneta City. Pero dahil sa habang tumatagal, nawawalan ako ng battery sa cellphone hanggang sa naging drained. Nagtanong ako sa cashier kung pwede mag-charge ng cellphone pero ayaw pumayag. Sinabi ko pang magbabayad ako dahil kailangan lang talaga kc malayo pa ang byahe namin pero ayaw talaga pumayag. Ang tanong ko lang, magkano ba ang nawawala sa inyo sa ilang minuto o oras na pag-chacharge? Wala naman sanang ibang customer para makaabala ang pag-charge. Besides, magbabayad ako. 

Ang masasabi ko sa Food Ave na yan, WALA KAYONG KWENTA! Naway magsara na kayo kung di nyo kayang tumulong or kahit papaano sa maantig sa mga nakiusap sa inyo na o di kya sumabay sa uso na tambayan ng mga techie na meron nga cellphone at laptop. Needs na yon ngaun. Kung gusto nyong magpabayad, eh di magpabayad kyo. Di naman kami titira sa inyo eh. At di un kakain ng kuryente na magpapabaon sa inyo. Buti pa ang Caltex sa inyo, nagpapa-charge pa sila. Anong klaseng serbisyo meron kyo. Maganda sana ang lugar nyo kaso napakawalang kwenta naman.

PBB Teens 4: Splitting the twins

Kagabi lang ang pinakahabang iyak ko dahil kina Joj and Jai. Kc ang kambal sa bahay ni kuya ay paghihiwalayin na. Hindi ko alam kung ang pag-iyak ko ay dahil sa awa, tuwa o lungkot. Basta ang alam ko dahil ito sa hindi na ako masyadong matuwa sa susunod na araw dahil ang kambal lang talaga ang inaabangan ko sa loob ng bahay ni kuya.

Lahat naman yata affected sa biglaang paghihiwalay ng kambal. Ang lighter note lang kagabi ay ang ka-OA-han nina Karen at Myrtle. At syempre ang pagbibilin at pagkumbinsi ng kambal sa isa't-isa na deserving silang manatili ng bahay ni kuya. Ang bibilis kc magsalita kya nakakatuwang panoorin pero kahit na natutuwa ako pero di ko mapigilang mapaluha habang nanonood. Grabe, ito na tlga ang record holder para sa akin sa pinakahabang oras ng pag-iyak dahil sa isang palabas sa TV or movie.

At syempre pahuhuli ba ang mga trending topics? Isa lang to sa mga nag-trend worldwide.

PBB Teens 4: 8th Nomination Night

June 18, 2012

Harapang nominasyon, kya masusubukan kung gaano katatag ng samahan nila. Sabi nga ni Myrtle, "ang lupet ni Karen, ang lupet ni Ryan, ang lupet ni Yves".

Sana talaga si Yves na ang matanggal ngaun. Pero sa tinggin ko tlga panahon na ni Yves matanggal kc nasubukan na si Karen at Myrtle, lahat mas mataas ang boto kesa kay Yves. Pero first time ni Ryan ma-nnominate, mataas kya ang boto nya? Tingnan nalang natin.

Tangal si Yves!

PBB Teens 4: 7th Nomination Night

Toni Gonzaga is out of the Country to watch the fight of Paquiao vs. Bradley, so Bianca Gonzalez is taking over. Kim Chiu is back in the house. She's really pretty. I love Kim.

Sana si Yves na matanggal.

June  16, 2012

Si Tom ang napalayas sa bahay ni Kuya this week. Sayang naman, gusto ko sana si Yves matanggal.

Paolo Bediones' Review on Pacquiao's lost to Brandley

I'm really not interested in commenting how or why Manny Pacquiao lost to Timothy Bradley last June 9, 2012. Simply because there's a lot of articles about the issue and I am already accepting the fact that he lost the fight until I've read Paolo Bediones blog about the issue.

Social networking sites like twitter and facebook are battling the issue. Most of them believed that Pacquiao won.

According to Paolo Bediones:

Here are some "explanations" to why Manny "lost" the fight:

1. The curse of the 16th fight. After every streak of 15 wins that Manny has chalked up, he loses the 16th.

Loss to Rustico Torrecampo on February 9, 1996
Streak of 15 wins from April 27, 1996 to April 24, 1999
Loss to Medgoen Singsurat on September 17, 1999
Streak of 13 wins, 2 draws from December 18, 1999 to December 11, 2004
Loss to Erik Morales on March 19, 2005
Streak of 15 wins from September 10, 2005 to November 12, 2011
Loss to Timothy Bradley on June 9, 2012 (US)

2. Manny insisted on watching the Miami Heat - Boston Conference Finals

3. Manny became a devoted Christian

4. Boxing is a BUSINESS not a SPORT anymore

Interesting, isn't it? Thanks Paolo for the nice review. But whatever the result is, that's the prize of sports. we have to accept defeat.

What's your mix? - Bayo Clothing Controversy

What's your opinion on this picture?

The model above is Jasmine Curtis-Smith, younger sister of Anne Curtis-Smith. Their father is an Australian and their mother is a Filipino.

For me (my own opinion only, it wouldn't matter to you at all), I don't see the point of this being labeled as 'Racist'. This campaign of Bayo, a local clothing line, was criticized for releasing this campaign and petitioned to remove in all billboards across the metro. 

Let's face it, most or if not, many of Filipinos has this so-called colonial mentality. I knew someone who doesn't appreciate Filipino Artists. Who doesn't appreciate Filipino Talents. He would just appreciate you if you give him gifts that are not made by his fellow Filipinos because he believes that it was done in a very poor quality. And I HATE him for that... a lot! Can you call it 'racist'? I always want to tell him, 'then go out the country and never go back'! But I don't have the license to judge him for that. From this situation alone, I cannot blame Bayo for this campaign. It's like showing to the world that we have good products if it is not made here (of course not applicable to all but still would be the thought). Filipinos love to buy goods that are 'imported'. Filipinos love to receive goods that are 'imported'. Would you appreciate more a handmade bags made by 'abaca' than a Louis Vuitton? I know that I should not compare those products simply because they're too far from each other. Exactly my point!

Why we can't just appreciate the fact that we have good products if are being mixed with other races?

Aren't you satisfied that the Bayo is still getting models who has a Filipino blood even just 20% of it? Unlike Bench for getting David Archuleta or Penshoppe for getting Zac Efron. Come on people, these are local clothing lines too.

I've read some blogs for this controversy and there are so many opinions for this matter. All of them are against for this campaign. Well, we have all our own opinion. I just hope you will also respect mine. 

According to TV news, the Bayo management decided to remove and replace the said campaign.

Below are the rest of the models/campaigns:

Because of this, a lot of spoof came out just to lighten the mood of the Angry Filipinos.
