The multi-dollar baby photos of Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline:

Angelina Jolie gave birth to son, Knox Léon, and daughter, Vivienne Marcheline, on Saturday July 12, 2008 at the Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France. People magazine has won the bid for the twin's exclusive photos for $14 million. Wow! These babies are a month old only and they are celebrities already. Their pictures alone are worth millions. Hmm, I will soon be sharing my birthday to these baby celebrities and the world might just celebrate with us. Lol

David's Tea House

It was my first time at David's Tea House at Sm City Iloilo. Pol left me there for a while so I said he should leave me at a hot spot (wifi) area. So its David's Tea House. Looking at their poster outside, their food is expensive, at least for us. So we decided to have a buffet dinner for PhP180 per person - without drinks. Their canned softdrinks costs PhP44 each. So he left me there and went to Bakhaw. So I just did some of my bookmarking tasks there, lol.

When he came back, we enjoyed the food. Haven't took photos of somefoods - its a bit embarassing ya know. .lol

Their foods were good that I was so full when we left the restaurant. Even up to now, I can still feel the foods in my stomach and it was 5 hours ago since we left the place. So all in all, the foods were worth the expenses. ☺

Before I finished this post, my beau, who was the first one to greet me, have already posted about my bday in his Gaming Edge blog. True to his words, I am indeed a Believer - Bamboo fanatic. I even shot photos of him imitating Bamboo or the other band members in their posters and do some photo tweaking to replace one of them with his face. Here's a sample:

Another 2 tweaked photos are at my rubbish blog.

catching up

More than a month of absence from my blog. . .whew! :D Been very busy with Monster's Den, an online flash game, then got hooked with Kongregate - the site where I played MD. As I start this post, I just finished playing RAN - another game that keeps me busy these days. In that more than 30 days of (blogging) abstinence, my blog missed a lot of things:

• I was supposed to post an update about the Philippines' entries for the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Chocolate hills and Mayon Volcano were back on the list after being delisted. All of the four candidates were now in the top 20. Much support were given by the local and national government that even President Arroyo is endorsing them. Then the Pinoy Big Brother Teens has gone to the Underground River in Puerto Princesa and "Big Brother" is also promoting it to gain support in the N7W.


• Our Summer Rockin' experience 2007 with Bamboo last year was succeeded this year. This time, it's a wet-and-wild experience. The Smart Summer Samahan in Boracay on its third year had 3 bands in one night (Rocksteady, Kamikazee, and BAMBOO) plus the rain and the fireworks. The rain started to fall during Kamikazee's performance that some of the lights, equipments and the instruments got wet that some lights were turned off. Jay was even instructed to stay on the back portion of the stage because the lights were off in the front area but he refused claiming that he's not that handsome so there's no need for him to stay where the lights are and since Bamboo was about to perform after them, he said to leave the "kagwapuhan" to them. lol Since it was raining, some people left the concert. But when Bamboo started to perform, the crowd grew larger - larger than it has been earlier even when it was not yet raining. The best part of their performance was when it rained harder and Bamboo sung "ulan."
  
  Of course the summer adventure didn't stop there. It was just our first night. Since we were not able to enjoy the beach last time because of the events, we made sure to do it this time. The sun, beach, and the cam whores
  
  
  
  
  
  Last year was banana boat riding. This year, snorkeling! ... and from henna tattoo to glitter tattoo! Improvement!hahah


• The Summer Vacation didn't end with Bora coz before we went home, we went to Sampaguita Gardens in New Washington, Aklan. This is my third time in Sampaguita Gardens and I've made a post about it so I'll just leave this part with some photos. . .

The Sampaguita Gardens Experience

Sampaguita Gardens Resort, is a world-class resort located at New Washington Aklan. Been there twice and probably be back this May. It was no ordinary nor typical resort because you'll have a great experience from there. What I like most in that place is its artistry. It is themed with the Precious Moments artworks that promote messages of loving, caring and sharing.



Jojo's Christmas Cottage - the first all-year round Christmas store in the Philippines. Collection of Precious Moments dolls can be bought here.


The Samuel J. Butcher Mansion I think is the most expensive part of the resort where the collection of antiques and the Ningyo (Japanese dolls) collection are located.



The Precious Moments Meditation Chapel is the latest feature added in the resort. It is a replica of the one in Precious Moments Park in Carthage, Missouri. All the paintings on the wall and ceiling are hand-painted by Mr. Sam Butcher himself, the artist behind the Precious Moments artworks.


This authentic Ford Model T c. 1925 still runs and is sometimes used as a bridal car in select weddings.








The resort has three restaurants that also cater to business organizations for conventions or seminars. Then the Sammy's Circus Rides is where children can enjoy riding the carousel, mini-train and Ferris wheel. Other features of the resort are the 43 ft. aquarium, the Sammy's Showboat, Timmy's Library, the Butterfly Farm and Gift Shop, the Oriental Garden, and the Precious Moments Gallery where Sam Butcher's artistic creations can be found. Their amenities and facilities also include Jojo's Fitness Center and Spa, and they also have swimming pools for children and adults.

The last time I went to Sampaguita Gardens Resort was last February 2008. The entrance fee was just PhP50 and that is consumable. We were not able to consume that either because you have free access anywhere except the Mansion. But the entrance fee for the Mansion was only PhP10 so we just saved our PhP50 consumable entrance fee for our food. We took lunch at the poolside. We thought their food were very expensive but the price was reasonable enough. The other one with entrance fee I think is the Precious Moments Gallery but it was closed when we went there. Probably it opens at night only because the first time I went there, we arrived in the afternoon and stroll around in the evening and we were able to go there.

It was really fun going there. Especially that it is located in Aklan, you must not miss it if you are to take a vacation at Boracay. Its just a 1- 2-hour ride from Caticlan to New Washington, Kalibo. Another thing that makes your visit or vacation at the resort so overwhelming is the warm treatment of their staff. Even if you are just an ordinary person entering the resort, you are very well accommodated and assisted by their staff.

Slapshock back from Dubai Desert Rock Fest

A lot of Filipinos that has gone to international events or brought honor to the country by winning some competitions has been given much attention to. But there are also some that has not. Slapshock has just got back from Dubai Desert Rock Fest.

03.15.08...Slapshock Back from Dubai Desert Rock Fest '08

Slapshock is back from its very successful gig at Dubai Desert Rock Fest. The band played an explosive set which set the crowd bouncing and started the big moshpits all over. From the opening song Shed Your Skin to the finale of We Are One, the crowd gave out the same high energy level as the band members played their hearts out onstage. According to the band, it's one of the most memorable experience they had ever in their whole career. "It's a gig we can always look back when we're gray and old" says one of the band members. Check out the pics at the Photo Section and watchout for some videos on Youtube very soon.

It was a great honor to have a Filipino Rock band included on such prestigious rock event and to be with other international rock bands. It feels like Slapshock is one of them also. The band's participation to the event may have been mentioned to some news (I'm not sure) though. But this is something to be proud of. Slapshock's music genre or the band itself may not be mass oriented but they have a niche on the music industry. Take a look at the photos I gathered from their site:

d i n a g y a n g 2008

Heavy traffic, fully loaded jeepneys, dusts in the air, crowded streets - and malls. . . That's Dinagyang! That was January 26 around 6-7 pm as I went to SM City to meet with friends. Whew! The mall was super crowded especially in the parking area where the food fest was. Before we went to Bamboo's concert venue - without planning to watch - we enjoyed the pyrolympics at SM City first. I was truly amazed with the fireworks. nyahahah

Then comes the awaited event every Dinagyang. Not the tribu competitions but Bamboo's concert! The band have missed Dinagyang last year. We have always expected them to be here for Dinagyang but they had previous commitments last year that was unfortunately canceled or postponed. But this time, we planned not to watch because the set-up was not so inviting. .we waited at the back and just sneaked on what's going on inside and counting the songs they were playing. . .On their ninth song, Grazey saw his tito yol who were part of the security churvaloo of the event. So we were able to go inside. The best part of the concert was when Bamboo went to our side and reached out his hand to us. waaaah! super waaah! \m/ We thought they're going to play 10 songs only and we got inside on their ninth, but they played a total of 15 songs! What a luck we've got! :D


We realized later on that the man on our side was Pancho G., their manager! hahah we even took a picture with him then met with Jb and Chin(?), fellow believers. We went to Westown Hotel to "meet" the band and of course take pix. . .




Then off we went to Bora Bora . . . and chilled out!
