Sango!

Last Saturday, my sister treated us for lunch because she wanted to try this resto that she discovered over the net (plus it's bonus day for her). LOL! :]

Introducing Sango! The Burger Master

Located at the Creekside Mall in Amorsolo. Near Makati Cinema Square.

The place is so comfy.. I suddenly miss going to Japan because the smell is soooo Japanese and I think they're serving Japanese Cuisine.

Their LCD TV airs different Japanese shows or even anime

From the name itself, they serve burgers but they also have rice toppings too :]

With their list of burgers of different kinds, I really can't decide on what to order and since it's our first time we asked the waiter what are their best sellers.

See how can I decide, all the pictures of their burgers looked so delish.

We ended up taking pictures of ourselves while waiting for our order, and there's a picture that caught my attention.

My sister and her boyfriend, Ryan

Sorry for the haggard face. But it was scorching hot that time:[

Their kitchen and Counter

This caught my attention: they serve you nothing but Fresh :]

Finally, the star of their resto arrived :]

Ooozing with meat sauce.. yummy :]

Master Cheese Burger - My pick! It consists of tomatoes, their special meat sauce, white onions, Japanese mayo, mustard, cheese, and beef patty.

Yakiniku Rice Burger - My sister & her bf's order. Made up of Japanese rice, beef yakiniku, maybe some special sauce, & green veggies. Didn't really know how it tasted but my sister said it was good. Will try this next time that I will visit.

Iced Milk Tea - There's nothing special about this drink. If you are familiar with the Lipton Milk Tea, that is how it tasted with ice.

Green Tea Milk Shake - Since there is no room for desserts, I ordered a milk shake. What I liked most about it was it doesn't have any after taste of the green tea. All I can taste was Ice cream. So their milk shake is worth trying :]

Overall, my Sango! experience was not bad for our first time. The food were delish and their servers were accommodating too. I will definitely go back there with Tinee and will try other burgers or even their rice meal.

I will give it a score of: 4.5 out of 5 foodie points

Toodles..

Happy Halloween :]

The title doesn't have much of a say in this post. I'm sorry but that is the very first thing that came into my mind and I can't think of any good one since I have been so excited and busy these past two days because...

Finally, I got my DSLR (prize in winning a raffle, if you have been reading my posts) and I am very busy testing it :].

My New Baby :]

Though the DSLR is already with me, still it amuses me that I actually won (I really do have minimal hopes when it comes to winning!). LOL! :]

So Shopwise actually gave me a Nikon D3100 and I have read somewhere in the camera world that it is Nikon's new entry-level of DSLR :] (they realeased it I think September 2010). Please bear with me, sometimes I misunderstand what I am reading. LOL! So for you guys to know more about the D3100 click here. :]

Ta-dah!! Pretty Baby!! :]

Body and Lens

Accessories
(See how excited am I? Forgot to remove them from the packaging. :])

User Manual and other readable materials

Excited to take pictures with Tinee later and to have a productive weekend.

Toodles..

P.S.

This is something new for me, so I will need to find some tutorials over the net. 

P.P.S.

Have a great and happy long weekend everyone

TGIF

It's been days since the last time I posted something on my blog. I'm sorry, but there are errands that I need to accomplish for work requirements (Uh-huh! I will be working soon! :]). 

Anyway here's little something worth thanking for this day.

If you're reading my blog, I said on my previous post that I won a camera from a contest, and I'm just waiting for the confirmation letter from the marketing department of the grocery chain. Well today is a sooper uber happy day for me because the letter finally arrived :]. SPELL LUCKY?? It's ME already.. :]

The acknowledgement letter from Shopwise :]

Reading.. reading.. HAPINESS :]

My winning/lucky ticket :]]

The excited and panicking me, rushed myself over to our phone and called the marketing department. I looked for Ms. Vangie (person who called me and told me that I won.) and asked her some details regarding the prize claiming. I asked her that since I am still not working and I don't have enough valid ID's is my birth certificate ok with them, and she told me yes. I asked her if I can claim it today (excited much!) but sadly Ms. Vangie told me that the camera is not yet with them. Awwww :[

Though my excitement was crushed a little, still I am very thankful and happy that my name was picked and won a DSLR (YES a DSLR!). Before it will take me years to save up and buy a DSLR but now I have my own :]. LOL! Thank you Shopwise for an early Birthday gift..

Have a great weekend everyone. -- Because definitely I will.. :]

Toodles..

Happy Month

I received two anonymous calls this week which are all good news :]

Last Tuesday, I was about to to sleep around 5 P.M. when my phone rang. She said that she was from Shopwise (a grocery chain in manila) Marketing and she was telling me that I won a camera from their previous contest. 

I was so ecstatic when I heard that I won, to the point that I jumped out of my bed then turned on my laptop because she told me that once I received her letter I need to call her.

When we were done talking, I came to my senses and asked myself what if it was a scam? CRAP! 

So what I did was I tried calling Shopwise Pacita (a place in Laguna) since that is where we shopped and  where I dropped my entries, but they were unreachable so I tried calling Shopwise Sucat. A lady answered and I asked her right away without introducing myself. LOL! I asked if they already have the list of winners from their Prize Mania contest, but the lady told me that they still don't have the list. So I asked again the lady, when someone wins a contest from their store, how do they send the letters to the winners? Is it through snail mail or through e-mail? since the one who called me said that the moment I received the letter I need to call her. The lady said through snail mail (high hopes gone :[). I asked the lady one last time if she knew any of the numbers that were given to me, and she said that they are the numbers of their marketing department (my hopes are rising again). LOL! Oh well I just need to compose myself again and be patient until that mystery letter arrives. I really hope that it is real. A new SLR camera would be perfect this coming Christmas :].

My next happy experience this week was last Wednesday. Someone called me from ACN asking if I was still interested for the ASE (Assoc. Software Engr.) position, I said yes. She asked again if I will be available for contract signing on Thursday. Without hesitations I said YES!. Yay! I will be employed by my dream company and will be working on my dream job. :]

Keep the Good Vibes coming October. I'm loving you right now :]

How's your October so far?

Hope you all had a great weekend :]

Toodles..

27th

Tinee and I have been celebrating her birthday for 4 years now (started going out on April'08) and I can say that her birthday this year and last year will be my favoritest (if there is such a word). LOL! If only you could see what's happening once Tinee & friends got together. 

As I've said on my previous post, I was sort of busy doing errands for Tinee.

from the invitation..

Mafia invite

I have come up with this idea because Tinee wanted a mafia'ish birthday party since she already found the perfect place.

to the perfect location..

Facade of Good Fellas (photo grabbed: Click the City)

GoodFellas Steaks & Burgers located in #36 T.Gener St. cor K-1st Kamuning Quezon City.

We've been there before and boy I fell in love with Pat & Geno, their version of Philly Cheese Steak. The food were all sooo delish and what's good about Good Fellas? It is not that pricey (price ranges from P200-P499).

and to the giveaways.

Baby Bear's Secret Bakeshop Cupcakes

I started ordering from BBSB since 2009. I gave it to Tinee as a gift for Valentines and from then on the cupcakes were a hit :)

Valentines'09 gift

Birthday'10 cupcakes and giveaways

Anyhooo, Tinne and I were late for 30 mins at her party because of some errands. I need to pick up the cupcakes at Daily Supermart in Proj.4 Quezon City, but that didn't stopped us from partying that night :]

The Birthday Celebrants: Tinee & Ria

Good Food & Good Friends = FUN Night

You never fail to become the star of the party :]

The Birthday Boy with the Star of the night: BBSB Cupcakes :]

The Birthday Girl with the Star of the night: BBSB Cupcakes :]

What I didn't liked about that night was we were scolded by the manager that we were noisy.  WTF! We booked the conference room so that we could have a place of our own to laugh our hearts out. Still we got scolded :[

The night ended with the thought of finding a place where we will not be scolded by the owner or the manager. Lesson learned! LOL! :]

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Toodles..

Busy Bee

I apologize for not hearing anything from me these past few days. I do not have much time to write down my thoughts because I am organizing Tinee's birthday. So please bear with me :). Will post the pictures from the events soon.

Toodles..

Peri-Peri

Last Saturday, after the MBS event Tita Fe (Tinee's mom) introduced us to this Portuguese resto named "Peri-Peri" for lunch. 

Welcome to the world of Peri-Peri!

I found out that "Peri-Peri" ("piri piri" as the Portuguese would spell it, is their term for the bird's eye chilli) is actually a kind of spice they put on the chicken to taste.

Wow! for the health conscious people :) Photo taken from the Menu. LOL!

For only P49, they have this refillable soup and drinks for every order their chicken meal (it is an add-on to the chicken meal)

Good marketing strategy!

So we took advantage of their Soup & Beverage all you want. LOL!

Broccoli Soup - Tinee's order

Corn Soup - My safe choice

Colorful drinks (L-R) - Strawberry Iced Tea, Green Tea Iced Tea, Mountain Dew, & Lemon Iced Tea

Finally our chicken meal arrived..

1/4 Chicken Meal

The portion size of their chicken is quite small, however the taste of the chicken makes up for its flaws ( flaws forgiven! ).

Overall our Peri-Peri Chicken experience was worth trying. Me & Tinee will definitely go back there and will try some of their dishes.

giving it a rating of: 4.5 out of 5 foodie points :)

Hello October!

We welcomed our October with a blast. First, because Tinee and I were celebrating our 40th month as a couple. Second, we shopped our wallets out with this great MEGA Brands Sale at SM Megamall (thanks to Tita Fe). And Lastly, there were two restos that we discovered and is a MUST-try (sooper thanks to the Rios and your love for food) which I will blog about later or tomorrow. :)

Tinee and I met earlier than our usual afternoon date for the MEGA sale event, and I must say that the event is worth going. LOL!

See all the participating brands? Who wouldn't be tempted to splurged?

There were lots of stuffs that are on sale, but we need to prioritize our needs so here's what we grabbed from the MBS.

Case Logic Laptop Sleeve P599

The laptop sleeve was not on sale. Tinee bought it with its original selling price since she already needed to change the sleeve of her laptop. So it's a good find.

Golla Mobile Pocket P150

Tinee bought it for our supposedly new phones. NEW PHONES = FAIL! Still a good purchase though.

Tomato Watch & Wallet Set P375

Bought a post-birthday gift for my sister. 

And lastly, my favorite sale item on that event was...

Game to Go 3 for P800

So excited for these babies. Can't wait to play with them with the Rios :)

So how was your Saturday?

Well anyway, start your October right!! Happy October and Have a great weekend everyone.

PS: Congratulations to Ateneo De Manila University for winning the UAAP season 74 basketball (men's division). 4-PEAT BABY!!!!
