My Favorite Workplace: Eastwood City

Two years ago, I worked in CyberOne Plaza, one of Megaworld's buildings in Eastwood City. I loved working there because Eastwood is such a splendid place to go to everyday. I loved that the office had a mall downstairs, and before going to work I can visit clothing shops, go to the bookstore, check out new gadgets and appliances or just lounge in a coffee shop. Going to work wasn't a drag because there's always something new to see everyday.





Walking distance from the office were dozens of food stops and retail shops nicely rowed in Eastwood Mall.











From time to time, these Johnny Rockets folks would do a retro song and dance number.

This is near the Events Area





This building has a Richmonde Hotel inter-connected with Eastwood Mall.

Love EW











Yes, that McDonald's is responsible for making me and my officemates fat.

My La Playa Rosa

I wanna talk about my favorite beach.
Sure, I love Boracay forever.
But this is special. The sand is a rare white-pink. And it's fronting the Philippine Sea.





I hereby elect myself as Mayor of this awesome, unbelievable, lovely paradise island in Foursquare--- only there's no internet.





I will wholeheartedly adopt hermit crabs and sea cucumbers. As pets.





I can parade my tits and not worry if somebody will see me





I will gladly welcome my friends and their families.





I will not litter





I will rake the sand for free





I will overcome my fear of sea snakes for you





I will learn pagko-copra like The Coconuter





I will buy fish food for the fish at the fish sanctuary everyday











My kids love it here











I will still love all my sons even if they had leathery black skin like that kid at the back





I will hold art classes for the island kids every summer for free inclusive of materials





Marco loves collecting corals








Dawns are amazing





You can do embarrassing things and just laugh about it





I can camwhore all day





Or fish (rather unsuccessfully)





Or order this everyday without going fat or broke





Please, take me back, adopt me, my la playa rosa.

Tagaytay and Bulalo

Right now, I'm trying out this thing called vegetarianism. :p I find it hard to believe myself. So making this post from a trip to Tagaytay is a very self-defeating, agonizing thing to do, and makes me wanna abandon ship and go back to all the good stuff. Bloody hell.

Stopping for pineapples. P5 a pop. 

No better place to slurp hot beef broth but on a roadside restaurant with a full majestic view of the Taal Lake.

The lake within a volcano within a lake within a volcano. It's also an island with another island within. Bahala na kayo umintindi. Lol

I miss me. I miss you, beef. But most of all, I miss us. Taena.

ToyTown Sale at Robinson's Galleria Atrium

When I went to the mall last night, my original plan was to shop for clothes for myself. As you know, it is a rare treat to just go out and have a little time for myself and to focus on doing just that. But old habits just don't die easy and before I knew it, I'm already checking out stuff from the toy store. And when it comes to my kids, I do not hold back. Haha.

Robinson's Galleria's ToyTown has an awesome toy sale going on at the Mall Atrium. We are huge fans of Tonka, really sturdy and adorable little toys for boys. We bought several trucks and bulldozers over the years and it has not seen a dent, scratch or broken parts from all the rough play they got from my three boys. It can stand serious abuse, kids can actually ride it and it will not break!



Imagine my joy to see the big red Playskool Firetruck Chuck at only P100 (reg price P899), these small racing chucks for P200 (reg price 900). The one at the leftmost corner is a six month old Chuck, bought at P700 at ToyTown Shangrila. The spin is that the boxes are dented and damaged, but the contents are relatively untouched. There were items worth P2,000 which sell for only P500. Unfortunately those are beyond my kid's ages.

This Monopoly board sells originally at P1,399. Guess for how much I snatched this loot.





Catch the Toytown sale and its amazing selection of Transformers, MyLittlePony, Baby Alive, MyLittlePetshop, Playskool (baby and toddler educational toys) and many more.

My shopping money gone.. gone.. gone.

Hair questions

I just found this photo from '08 while vacationing in Baguio. This was the first time I had my hair colored, and the dye used was mahogany brown. Prior to this I did not have any white hair. When the roots started to grow back, white hair sprouted like unwanted fungi. It was horrible. Which reminds me to get my tresses colored again.



Any hair color suggestions? Where can I get a decent hair color without breaking the bank? I have thought about coloring on my own, but still horrified that I might turn my hair into something worthy of Star City horror house ride. Sowee, I'm cheap that way. :D Yeah, most probably I'll make a trip to the salon soon.
