NEW ORLEANS: CHILL OUT FRIDAYS

Another branch of New Orleans is now located at Bonifacio High Street, Taguig City. 

The ambiance of New Orleans blends with the people who are patronizing their services. And I am so glad to be a part of this celebration, CHILL OUT FRIDAY!

After unveiling New Orleans' latest Megarita...

Now they provided us new idea on how to make our Fridays not so darn boring. LOL. By presenting to us one of the freshest DJs in town and that's DJ KIDA. A Chinese mestiza  beauty who has committed herself  to the cause of music, and she truly believes that if you're really into music, you need to start young.

I had a great time that night with my friends especially when we were watching the "MARDIGRETTES"...

And the extraordinary performance of their good looking bartender. :)

Hahaha... By giving us a break... Time to chill out and make wave with DJ KIDA's kind of music every Friday at NEW ORLEANS.

GAMBINO@GBC

When I saw GAMBINO, it reminds me of a person who is very dear to my heart. He really likes Italian food. :)

GAMBINO has a  classic and yet modern Italian touch. It is a 70-seater restaurant situated at the posh ground level of Forbes Town Burgos Circle, Bonifacio Global City.

The restaurant displays different Authentic Italian menu, reminiscent of the Italian history and infused with modern twists done in traditional cooking techniques and carefully put together by the powerhouse team led by Chef Christine Nicole Nicolas, Chef Elaine Sanchez and actor turned entrepreneur Marvin Agustin.

And because it's the love month, this is the perfect place for lovers and friends who want to have a relaxing experience for either lunch or dinner.

With their freshest ingredients and authentic Italian sauce and cheeses, pizza dough(originally made by their chef) and noodles, you will definitely satisfy your craving for food.

BUCATINI AMATRICIANA(P378.00)

MAKATI: "LOVE IS IN THE AIR"

Celebrating the love month, February 14, 2013, MAKATI showcased gravity-defying aerial dance routines and soothed the senses of the city's denizens with songs from the country's top balladeers during its Love is in the Air, Valentine's concert. Performances made the hearts of the audience excited, consoled, and in love as production numbers trnasitioned from acrobatic aerial dance to pop, acoustic, witty, and broadway love songs. The concert was a testament to how MAKATI gives the people many reasons to fall in love with the city and in return, more and more people fall in love with MAKATI, the only city that makes it all happen.

Couples and hopeless romantics alike were in awe as Iya Villania opened the concert and performed stunning aerial acrobatics together with Power Dance. This was one of the show's highlights. Set against sentimental ballads and the AYALA TRIANGLE GARDENS as backdrop, this poetry-in-motion spectacle was a sight to behold.

There's no denying that love is pop music's favorite theme. As they say, no matter what kind of relationship you're in, there's bound to be a pop love song for you. Isabel de Leon showed the veracity of this as she serenaded the audience with her own vocal styling of pop love. 

Vincent Bueno, the Australian idol, joined Isabel in singing, Way back Into Love, while flying through the air. They satisfied everybody with their portrayal of love and its many melodic facets.

Isabela  Gonzales, daughter of Kuh Ledesma who is one of the country's best singers, highlighted the perfect marriage of musical and performance art with her acoustic rendition of love songs. Definitely everyone in the crowd felt a personal connection with the songs with the acoustic compliment bringing out the purity of music and love's strong emotion.

They say sense of humor is one of the secrets to a lasting relationship. Love is in the Air concert emphasized this as ladies swooned after hunks Chris Everingham, Eric Tai, and Andrew Wolff appeared on stage adding flair and fun to this romantic night. 

Ten pairs of lovers were invited on stage to do the "Gangnam Style" dance... From ten down to three pairs and couple number nine won the final competition.

Complete satisfaction is what MAKATI wants us to experience. So live, shop, eat only here in MAKATI!

Love is in the Air was made possible by Ayala Land, Ayala Land Premiere, Alveo, Avida, Amaia, Ayala Malls, The Philippine Star, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Manila Bulletin, Business Mirror, and Canon.

Feb-Ibig Nga Naman!

Why are bad relationships sometimes compared to "germs"?

Kumakalat kasi ito kapag napapabayaan.

Sa aking pagbabasa ng "Lovestruck" Singles Edition by Ronald Molmisa, napagtanto ko na there are several reasons pala kung bakit hindi nagiging successful ang isang relationship. 

* PREGGY ISSUE: Yung nagpakasal lang out of pregnancy. Don't get married if ganito lang ang thinking nyong dalawa. Kasi kayo rin ang mahihirapan in the end. Masakit para sa isang girl na kapag may pinag-awayan eh ang isusumbat sa kanya ay "Pinakasalan lang kita dahil na-preggy kita!" Ouch, di ba?

*UNRESOLVED ISSUES: Kapag may pinag-awayan kayo ni hubby or ni wifey aba'y, don't wait for the sunrise at bka maya eh binangungot na pla ang katabi mo di ka man lang nakapag-sorry. LOL

Pag-usapan agad at huwag ng ungkatin pa ang nakaraan para lang magsumbatan. Past is past. Sabi nga ni Kuya Ronald, "Kung lagi mong babalikan ang nakaraan, mas mabuting mag-masters ka na sa kursong "History." LOL.

*PRIDE: Ang taong mapagkumbaba at mapagpatawad, kay Lord ay laging may reward. Di mo naman ikamamatay if you'll forgive and forget, di ba? We're not talking about who's right or wrong. The point is giving your pride will not make you less of a person.

*SELFISH CHARACTER: Relationship must be in the stage of "GIVE & TAKE" process. Kasi hindi ka magiging kuntento sa kung anong bagay na dumating sa'yo kapag take ka na lang ng take. Hahaha. Just remember, mas may kilig factor kapag nagbibigayan kayong dalawa. :)

Kaya sa ngalan ng "Feb-Ibig" sana ma-realize natin ang importance ni BF at ni GF/hubby at ni wifey.

It's easy to be in a relationship, but the question is... "Kaya mo bang panindigan for life?

Thanks to Mr. Ronald Molmisa for sharing his book:
