Little Bites From Pizza Hut

This is our friday dinner. We ate at Pizza Hut. As appetizer, we got the salad buffet. Then for dinner, I ordered the meatlover's personal pizza while hubby had the pepporoni in addition to the buffalo chicken wings mild flavor. It was all yummy. We thought we will not get stuffed from all these little bites but we went home so full.

Pizza Hut is my second favorite pizza place next to Shakey's philippines. Shakey's thin slice pizza is the bomb!

Is it true that the Pizza Hut is changing its name to the The Hut?

John Lloyd and Ruffa

If there's smoke there's fire. The latest lovebirds to watch is John Lloyd and Ruffa? Is it true???
I'm posting here what I have read at Maurice Archache's article at inquirer.net (Without Bashing An Eyelash):

Without Batting An Eyelash : John Lloyd is Ruffa’s special guest at b-day
By Maurice ArcacheColumnistPhilippine Daily Inquirer
Posted date: June 23, 2009

IT WAS definitely one of the hottest tickets of the week, dahlings, when
statuesque beauty queen, TV and movie actress Ruffa Gutierrez celebrated her
birthday. She was stunningly divine in a black and white outfit and
eye-catching shoes both by Chanel no less, dahlings.
Ruffa’s close pal, multifaceted businessman Noel Oñate, hosted the party held in a posh village. The invitation requested everyone to “please come in white.”
Everyone did, except for three men who came in black, would you
believe?
Anyway, that happening gathered tons of the most gorgeous faces and
handsome men under one roof, palanggas.
But, the big question on everyone’s
mind was about the celebrant’s man of the moment. And before you could even bat
an eyelash, handsome, dashing John Lloyd Cruz gallantly walked in and went
straight to the celebrant, giving her a big hug, while the women and men swooned
and turned green with envy, dahlings.

Anne and ErwanIn another corner was another gorgeous lady, Anne Curtis, with her man of the moment, good-looking French-Filipino entrepreneur Erwan Heussaff, who shuffles to Manila and Paris for his work. They keep a low profile of togetherness, palanggas.
Ruffa then sang a song for her guests and later blew out one candle each from the three cakes as we sang “Happy birthday.”The after-dinner affair had a full buffet
table, catered by La Tasca, one of Oñate’s favorite caterers.
The sky was full of stars but the brightest twinkle was in those beautiful eyes of our
Princess for a Day, Ruffa Gutierrez, dahlings, who stayed on ’til the last guest
left, with John Lloyd by her side.

All’s well again at the Gutierrez home, which makes our darling Ruffa even happier than ever.

Ahh, love is definitely in the air, dahlings, at least for this beautiful couple, Ruffa and John Lloyd.
And here’s a scoop! A super reliable source whispered that the newest
endorser for the popular Swatch watch is—yes, palanggas—no less than John Lloyd
Cruz. I tell you, when the sun shines, it really shines, di bala, palanggas?

I like showbiz news when it's about love, walang sabit, kaka-kilig, no hidden cameras - between two beautiful people. I sure be watching The Buzz this weekend. I bet you too!.

The New Iphone 3Gs

The new iphone 3gs became available in the market last friday, june 19th. We went to the apple store inside the mall and found this line. It was not bad, we thought. But, do they still have the new iphone? First we went to the end of the line and I asked the apple guy outside if they still have iphones available. None. Nada. What is the line for? He said, for all other things!

If you want the new iphone 3gs, just go online.

Another Hayden Kho and Maricar Reyes?

I’ve heard and read this, not just once, twice, thrice….It’s all over the internet again – another video of hayden kho and maricar reyes in a different location/position – the sofa! Was this uploaded recently or it has been there … ngayon lang lumabas because it’s the talk/flavor of the month. Hope this spreading/uploading of sex videos be stopped. These are private matters that should be kept, hidden (like the camera) or deleted. Ano nalang ang kahihiyan ng isang tao who has a career, a future, a family and … a face? If I were Maricar Reyes, I’d go to Belo and have a face off! Poor thing!

Umbilical Cord Blood Banking At Cryo-Cell

Last weekend, I went to visit my friend who is pregnant. She is on the later part of second trimester. The doctor told her that she is on a high risk pregnancy thus recommending a total bed rest before she gets to her last trimester. My friend has two kids already and both were born premature. She is being advised by her doctor to be very careful, avoid any stressful activity and report any symptoms or problem immediately.

My friend was telling me that this is the most difficult pregnancy she has. She has all our prayers hoping that the baby makes it to full term, be healthy and without any complications. We also discussed the importance of storing the baby’s umbilical cord blood through cryo-cell. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you to be able to preserve your baby’s umbilical cord blood once he or she is born. The stem cells that are found in the umbilical cord blood can be used to treat more than 75 diseases such as blood disorders, malignancies, heart diseases, diabetes and a lot more. It has also been used in more than 10,000 transplants worldwide. This is beneficial not only for your own child but also to his or her siblings. The Cryo-Cell testimonials shared by parents will really encourage you to do a cord blood banking that can save lives in the future. If you want to request more information, you can just go to cryo-cell.com or call 1800-STOR-CELL.

My Reading Glasses

I have never needed glasses in my life not until now that I am not able to read up close without stretching my arms. I can read but not those tiny letters like on medicine bottles or serial numbers or those fine prints as they always say. I don’t need glasses all the time but there instances that I have to. I am not fully convinced yet that I have to get prescription glasses so over the weekend I bought a ready- made reading glasses at marshalls. These are three pairs of prescription glasses in a box and at the back it shows three sentences in different sizes of fonts with this direction: if you cannot read this line get this magnification by number like +1.50, +2.00, +3.5, etc. I selected the +1.50 because that’s the most blurry to me. I can read the rest of the other lines with bigger letters. So I got black, brown and blue reading glasses for less than $20. I can read those tiny letters now (very clearly!) but the only thing with reading glasses is that they are only made for reading but if you look up across the room, everything appears blurry.

Obama Writes An Excuse Letter For A Kid

On a health care reform town hall meeting by President Barack Obama in Green Bay, Wisconsin, a dad and a daughter came to attend. During the question and answer portion, the dad mentioned that her 10 year old daughter Kennedy skipped her last day of school. The President right away asked the dad, “do you want me to write a note?” He was not kidding. While listening to the dad’s question, the president was writing an excuse letter to her teacher and here it goes:

“To Kennedy’s teacher – please excuse kennedy’s absence. She’s with me. (signed) Barack Obama.”

Sink Leaks

I took a day off today because we have a scheduled repair in our unit. The bathroom sink is leaking probably from one pipe joint. I have no idea about repairs and I am lucky that anything breaks or needs repair in our unit, the management will take care of it. It is part of the payment every month. I remember when I was still living in San Diego California, I always have problems with my apartment that I have been a regular customer of Shaffer Mechanical Plumbing. When I signed my contract with my landlord, he told me that anything that breaks in the house, I will be the one to have it fixed and he will just reimburse me for whatever expenses I incur. It is better to have a trusted San Diego Plumber that you can call anytime. They are very reliable and most jobs are finished in one day. So, if you are living within the San Diego area and needs some plumbing work done, just call 619-618-2402 for immediate help. They can do all kinds of plumbing work, from the simple ones to the most complicated jobs fast at very reasonable rates. If you want an estimate of the job first, they do it for you for free. Always have their phone number handy so that you can all them right away when needed.

Rain After A Carwash

Last Sunday I decided to have the van cleaned. We cannot do it at home because it is higher and we don't do a job on the roof. We even have the super wash which includes the inside plus a car shine with tire black. Ha ha ha. it rained the day after we had it done. The rain stopped only last night and it was a downpour yesterday. So that's it for a car wash! This summer is so unpredictable. We normally get these rain during spring time but we never really had a straight week of decent summer weather.

Be A Torchbearer In 2010 Vancouver Olympics

The technology we have today has made changes to how our kids spend their free time. Rather than spending it by doing out outdoor activities, a lot of our youths spend most of their time in front of the computers or TV’s playing games and surfing the internet.

There is a national program for the youth called SOGO Active. Their goal is to inspire our youth of today to be physically active. ParticipACTION , the national voice of physical activity and sport participation in Canada has been retained by Coca Cola to help in the design and execution of Sogo Action. This program is aimed to the youths of Canada; giving young Canadian the tools to design, change and control their own get active plan and to encourage other less active youth to participate. This is a chance for the youth to make their own decisions, connect with group members and plan their activities with the support of Sogo Active.

To reward the active participants who have joined Sogo active and have demonstrated a commitment to adopt an active lifestyle, Coca Cola will be getting 1000 active participants to be awarded torchbearer spots in the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay. Being able to carry the Olympic flame is an honor and I hope it serves as an inspiration to our youths to join the program.

Sunflower Seeds

This is a favorite at my job. We always have it handy – David’s sunflower seeds.

How do you eat sunflower seeds? Me, I crack it first then eat the seeds. My friend here, she eats just like how it is written in the package. Eat. Spit and Be Happy. I only eat this at the office; not when I am driving or at home. It is just a habit at work.

A Day With Your Favorite Celebrity At Kissimmee

This could be a dream but given the chance to plan a perfect day with your favorite celebrity at Kissimmee, I love to have a day with Maria Sharapova. Not only me, but my whole family. I know she lives in Florida and we are her number one fan. I have seen her play at the U.S. Open but how cool it would be if you spend a day with her at Epcot, Universal Studios or on a scenic lake tour while watching the birds, turtles and alligators. At the end of the day, we can probably have dinner at the Old Town or go to Citywalk for a karaoke or drinks at one of the bars. We should not forget about shopping too. We can ask Maria to go to the outlet and shop for fashionable tennis outfits.

Whew! It is nice to be dreaming but sometimes dreams come true. This is the why I joined Kissimmee’s Sweepstakes Giveaway where you get the chance to win one of the three weekend getaways for two (3 days/2 nights) or one of the two week-long vacations for four. Who knows, while enjoying myself in Kissimmee I will bump into Marian or any celebrity, right?
