Typhoon Pedring AKA Nedat (Flashlight!!)

Typhoon Pedring aka Neday hit Manila hard and I was able to take a video of my first "typhoon experience". Instead of getting attacked by the Pedring, I got attacked by a flashlight?

Top Eastwood City Stores For Girls


EASTWOOD CITY GIRL STORES

Now you're probably thinking "What does he know about stores for girls?"

I KNOW NOTHING.

Yeah, but my sister knows a lot about them and I asked her which of the Eastwood City Clothing Stores were the best. At first she was having a tough time choosing, but finally we were able to come up with a list. Like...a numbered list. So....... here it is...

#5

BAYO
With K.C Concepcion as the headlining sponsor, it is no surprise that Bayo is one of the most visited stores in Eastwood. With stores in Manila, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, the Bayo products are also available online at http://www.bayo.com.ph/

Plains & Prints
What started off as a small store at Greenhills, San Juan in 1994 has evolved to become one of the most popular stores in the Philippines. With a store in almost every well-known mall, the company owned by husband and wife team Erickson and Roxanne Farillas continues to sell some of the best quality clothing for girls.

SPACE

Space seems to always have sales. Do you need to know more?
Yes, their clothes are NICE. (My sister said. I mean...look at the pic)

MALDITA

At Maldita you will find jewelry, clothes, and a wide variety of "Mother Daughter Matching Stuff" (words from my Mom and Sister). Plus, I really like the name of the store.

Manila Spots- THE Top Eastwood City Stores For Girls
#1
JELLY BEAN

I chose this as number one because this is pretty much the place I see them at the most. They usually buy gifts for our family and friends at Jelly bean and I like Jelly beans. Btw: Maja Salvador used to be the sponsor model person and so that was cool.

Honorable Mention:

As an online store, I believe that The Traveling Closet will soon be a new store for girls from all over the Philippines to check out.

Floyd Mayweather Vs. My Cousin Ortiz

I REALLY WISH I COULD PHOTOSHOP MY FACE THERE.

As a Manny Pacquiao Fan...Floyd Mayweather or My cousin Victor Ortiz ?

Since Manny Pacquiao won’t be fighting until November, I know many Filipinos are not excited to watch the Floyd Mayweather Victor Ortiz fight...why?. For boxing fans all over the world though, this is going to be a battle of two different styles. The defensive minded veteran Mayweather will go up against today’s hottest young power hitter Victor Ortiz. LET’S FACE IT, Filipinos all over the world want Floyd Mayweather to lose....but think about it for a second. If Mayweather loses, what do Filipino fans have to forward to in the future?

Since the undefeated Mayweather is by far the only opponent that can give Manny P a run for his money, what exactly will happen to boxing if “Money May” loses? The chances of a Manny Pacquiao Vs Floyd Mayweather fight in 2012 will then be less likely to happen if somehow my third cousin comes out of the ring victorious. IF Mayweather loses, and IF somehow the two legends of the ring meet in 2012, will the fight be as thrilling? So who will you be rooting for on the 17th? Floyd Mayweather? Victor Ortiz? Or will you just not really and care and just hope that Manny Pacquiao FINALLY fights Floyd Mayweather. For me? ... I just want my cousin to come home safe... (I really hope by now you get the joke. the joke that really isn't funny)


An American In The Philippines Series

As one of my close friends from the world of YouTube Mr. KUYAGEN and I roamed around eastwood city and he was able to film a segment of his on going series "AN AMERICAN IN THE PHILIPPINES". Now that he is back in America, he will be doing a pinoy in america? We'lkk just have to see..Check him out!

Manila Spots- Best Eastwood City Pizza Restaurants

Manila Spots Day 3
Eastwood City Restaurants...

If you are from out of the country or just live here in Manila, you definitely have to give the Eastwood City restaurants a try. WHY?! Well... because... I like pizza. “huh?” Yeah that’s right...I like pizza. Who doesn’t? I have tried most of the Pizza restaurants in Eastwood City and I have accumulated all the taste bud memories that my mouth has researched throughout the months and I have been able to now put together an in-depth ranking of Eastwood City's Pizza Restaurants. So as I tantalize your eyes with my top pizza restaurants, I want you to also keep in mind that these are just my opinions and you are free to disagree ;)

Manila Spots-Top Eastwood City Pizza Restaurants Numbahhhh Honorable Mention!

As the only Pizza restaurant on the list that I have yet to visit, (but I always always see people eating at Pasto.) Why? I have NO idea why, but it makes it’s way on the list because they had an actual italian looking chef who would throw the dough up.

NOW let’s get the real list started!

Manila Spots-Top Eastwood City Pizza Restaurants Numbahhhhh FORE!

Fazoli’s Italian Restaurant
(currently under construction)

As one of the best pizza deals at Eastwood City, it is no surprise that the Italian restaurant in the middle of Eastwood City Walk draws customers on a daily basis. Their biggest pepperoni pizza is only 560 pesos and that will feed a family of 7-8 (our family of 5 barely finishes it but we eat a lot). The only thangy thang that I did not like about the pizza...was...the oilyness (which i’m sure a lot of health freaks like myself always worry about). With a little dab of the tissue and you are good to go!

Manila Spots-Top Eastwood City Pizza Restaurants Numbahhhh THREE!

Pizza Hut

Now we all know what the fuss is about Pizza Hut. Probably one of the most famous Pizza restaurants of all time...BUT WHY DO THEY NOT HAVE PEPPERONI PIZZAS? No really...we ordered every possible concoction for a pizza like a stuffed crust bacon cheeseburger with a pepperoni inside a hot dog with onion rings hanging out the side and when I asked for a pepperoni...they said “We don’t have that.” Huh? (Afterwards...I complained and they said something about how they are able to make the pepperoni pizza, but it has to be custom made...so confusing.) Ok...now that I have that out of the way, YES, the pizza was amazing and I loved every bite of the random pizzas, but how do they not have pepperoni?

Yellow Cab

In celebration of Yellow Cab’s Ten year anniversary, they had a buy one large pizza and get a 10 inch pizza for free. That’s right...FREE. This New York based pizza company has been around for quite some time now and continues to be a hot spot in Eastwood City. Compared to the pizza that I ate last year...it seems as if the pizza has gotten thinner? Maybe since they gave a free pizza, they just halfed the dough? Well...anyways, the pizza was great like expected and the price of an 18 incher was only 700-800 depending on what you want as toppings.

Before.

After.

UCC and their Chicken Teriyaki Individual Pizza!

As one of the most unique pizzas that I have ever tried, I am surprised that UCC is still not “known” for their pizza. Though a chicken teriyaki pizza is nothing groundbreaking, the way that UCC created this masterpiece was definitely what set this mouthwatering creation apart from the everyday pizza. With a distinct chicken teriyaki flavor that Steph a.k.a Traveliztera (she loves chicken teriyaki) would enjoy, I am sure that pizza and chicken teriyaki lovers will definitely enjoy this one of a kind dish.

Chicken Teriyaki Individual Pizza from UCC gets a certified 5 Hungry Josh Approvals.

So there it is! My Top Pizza Restaurants at Eastwood City Libis, what do you think? agree? disagree? Any places I missed? Next Manila Spots "Best"s coming soon

TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS!

Manila Spots- Eastwood City's Yard Sale!

Manila Spots Day 1
When I got to the Philippines, I had no idea how different everything was compared to California. In San Francisco, I would see garage and yard sales, but I have yet to see one here in the Philippines. Maybe because there are not too many garages and yards? Not sure haha.
So fast forward to 2011 and I now live in Eastwood City (in the heart of the Philippines..sort of) pretty much the "City that never sleeps". As an internet junkie like myself....I don't really get out much (lonerrr) but I do get my fair share of walks around the "backyard". So today we take a little stroll around Manila's yard sale...
EASTWOOD CITY'S BAZAAR SALE THING

Basically it is a bunch of individual stores that sell their share of legit and real and not fake items.
