FOOD: NEW TRENDS TO TRY


Since i have no much time to gather all the words and wisdom. Hence i want to share one best blogs i am following from all around the buzz topics, the Spot.Ph.

The food industry is really now the trendiest here in Manila. What is NEW in our country and how is now developing the taste of Filipinos since we all know Filipino Cuisine has the wide specialties, from exotic to sweets, and different cultures because of colonials. Japanese, Chinese, and Western cuisines to name a few.


Here are the few minions to give your taste buds a try.


CRONUTS

Well, duh, who hasn’t heard of the cronut? Baked, fried and filled with pastry cream, they’re popping up everywhere as restaurants are figuring out that it really appeals to the Pinoy penchant for rich, sweet desserts. Will they stick around? Too early to tell, I think, as the hype beast is in full effect, but judging from places like Wildflour, which has lines out the door—it may be around for awhile. Soon to be on Noche Buena tables everywhere!



RAMEN BURGER

a burger in between a “bun” made of pan seared ramen. First on the block to come up with it: the cool kids of Wrong Ramen, one of Spot's Top 10 Ramen Spots for 2013. True to their name, it’s definitely a “wrong” kind of food, but it’s junky and FUN, which sometimes is all you want.





DOJO ICE CREAM 

This great product, a Japanese ice cream made of Hokkaido milk—some of the best in the world—is a revelation, if only from a taste standpoint. Not overly sweet, devoid of unnatural ingredients, yet packed with flavor (their sesame, and especially their wasabi, variants are intense!), it’s ice cream for the modern age where people want more healthful food. Miso Sake is my personal favorite—I think it’s amazing.

ASIAN MOVIES YOU SHOULDN'T MISSED #1


A lot of my visitors are coming from West side and we all know, western and European does better in movies. Hence, I would like to share some of the top asian countries that made it known world wide; if not, in asia.

I will not talk about the plot or details of each movies, but what I've experienced, felt, cried with the scenes.
I am not trying to convince, but i am sure you will enjoy watching these movies even if you're a hard core action movie fan. 



#1 My Sassy Girl and Windstruck (KOREAN) 


If you haven't watched these two movies, you are already missing half of your movie list before you die. MSG, is a fun, witty and love and hate story. Though, the american franchise of My Sassy Girl didn't make it like the original version, personally because of lack in chemistry of both actors.

Meanwhile, Windstruck is the sequel to My Sassy Girl. Please don't forget to bring your tissue. You will understand and it is quite interesting to know what happened in the past.

Both films are a no idle time to boredom. Please pay attention because you will love it :)

50 shades of Grey CH8, they finally start banging



I bumped into a tweet regarding a link about "commentary on 50 Shades of Grey". In short, i got intrigue how the commentaries went and i was expecting a little more of honest rather than sugar coating they love the book.

Quote below is the introduction that made me burst into laughter not because of the book, but because of the blogger's reaction. 


50 Shades of Grey Chapter 8, in which they finally start banging.


Alright, so, warning, this is the chapter that they get to the boning, and while I'm not posting anything TOO explicit, I'm putting a NSFW warning here. I mean, I talk about blow jobs and fisting and tickling prostates with egg beaters, so I imagine this blog isn't very SFW to start with, but this chapter has the actual fucking, so, yeah. NSFW. Plus, when you're laughing as hard as I am as I wrote this (or I hope you are. I'm a little drunk, so that could be making me think I'm extra hilarious.) and someone asks you what on EARTH you keep giggling at, you might not want to explain to your cubicle mate that you're reading something making fun of porn. It'll be awkward, so, you've been warned. Continue at your own risk, and delight. Grab a drink kids, this one's going to be fun! 
So Grey is freaking out that Ana is a virgin and he didn't know, because he now must sacrifice her to his Dark Lord Satan. Or the in text reason is because “Oh fuck I just showed a virgin my freaky sex room” which was notably missing a sex swing. If you're going to have a kinky sex room wouldn't you have a swing? And maybe a stripper pole? Come on now. So Grey calms down and once again offers Ana an out and she's all “Nah I'm good”. Grey asks some normal questions “Is there any special reason you've never been boned?” We get a confirmation that he actually wasn't her first kiss. She was kissed twice before, though I'm not sure by who. Is she counting Jose?

TOP 4 SOCIAL CHATTING APPLICATIONS



Free call, free SMS/Text messages, free video call and video chat --  Unlimited voice calls and video calls with emoticons and games. Who on earth doesn't what to have that kind of service right?

Lately, after the "WeChat" advertisement showed on TV commercial, a lot of social chatting applications showing off on tv screens. There is Line, Viber, KakaoTalk and What'sApp. Question is, who is who and why are they better than the other.

Let me help you finding what is best and suitable accordingly. Sure a lot of Korean stars doing commercials of different Chatting applications and since our idol use it, we will start using it too. But, don't get too excited because you might find yourself chatting and talking to yourself because you don't have friends in contact with the apps you downloaded. Lonely, right?

NOTE:  I tested the applications below in Samsung Android devices only. 





KAKAOTALK is like the Yahoo Messenger mobile version of Koreans. The Developers are from South Korea and is getting globally competitive by its functions/ a Korean boy group called BigBang making its way to introduce the product across Asian countries.


 



So if you are into Korean pop music culture or fell inlove by its culture, you may want to try this messenger along with your korean friends. Try LINE. Although, for me, this is more of a "Entertainment" chatting application than personal chatting, and LINE is not sociable in my taste. Not even user friendly but this app is focused on IDOLS and Entertainment.






VIBER the most comprehensive, user friendly, simple and has the most users next to Skype. Many people are using this now, whether it is for personal or business, because i believe this is the MINI VERSION of SKYPE :) Viber has become available on all devices including desktop version for various users all around the world.
Unfortunately, this application is BLOCKED in Middle East region.

It is now available for desktop users, Windows and Mac



WeChat if Viber is corporately designed, WeChat is, in my opinion and experience, is made for couple and family and friends. It is more of a personal communication rather than just chatting. It is the first chatting application endorsed in a commercial here in Philippines. I think, among the applications, this one suits better for an intimate approach and a user friendly. In order to use the Video call, you have to install WeChat Voice.

Chatting via web browser is now available for people who does not have mobile app.

JANET LOWE: GOOGLE SPEAKS



ABOUT THE BOOK: 

What i love about this book, is how Bill Gate acknowledge his defeat against Google makers and didn't invested in this concept. And how Google strive hard to get such attention from around the world and everyone else by expanding its growth against Bing, Yahoo, MSN, and AOL.

MOVIE REVIEW: GROWN UPS 2






I am a fan of Adam Sandler and since 50 first date i fell inlove with his skill for making people laugh with his simple get tickle moves.

i wasn't sure if i was going to watch Grown Up 1 when i saw his movie Funny People and didn't made me laugh that much. It was a disappointment because i was expecting laughter big time. Unfortunately, nothing special for Funny People other than "Fuck Facebook, yeah MySpace" or something like that.

It is Grown Ups that made me watch Grown Ups 2. It soaked in fucking ugly "forced to laugh" scenes that turned out to be gross and makes me want to hold my puke. Plus, Rob Schneider is not in the movie.

It was not good and not entertaining at all.


RATE? : 1.5 out 5. 1 is lowest.

Internet service providers (ISP) in Philippines



What is the best internet service provider in the Philippines?

Who is the best internet service provider in the Philippines?



Before i answer the question, first, let me help you understand what is the difference between the connectivity and the service provider itself because this might be the course of what you're looking for. Moreover, you will appreciate everything and whatnot in choosing internet service provider in the country in simplest form of language i could give.

You have to understand that Fiber optic, Cable, Wireless "broadband", Wi-fi router, DSL "broadband", Data plan, are all different and has its weak and strong points. They are not the same. When you ask for a internet connection, usually what is "IN" and "new", most of CSRs who are not technically inclined, will introduce the latest and dissect the promos - sure you are now convinced because you are following the latest trend. 

 

WHAT ARE THE TYPE OF CONNECTIONS?


FIBER OPTIC 

Fiber optic is also known as T-1 connection (provider). It is the best among any other connections in the market world wide. Fiber optic connection is, like DSL, a "wired", "a cable", to make it simple and in a layman's term. Meaning, do not expect a wireless connection because it is not, unless it will be connected in router. It is EXPENSIVE and perfect for offices, servers or host, internet cafe businesses with more than 20 PCs capacity, and for other businesses that may be needing to have this tool. I don't see the need of having this in every household unless you're rich with a decent business and ready to pay thousands in your monthly bill. Meanwhile, PLDT is offering Fibr connection. It is bundled with Cignal satellite cable for a whooping of P3,500 and P5,800 for complete package 1. Check their promo here. Don't get me wrong i am not against their services.


USB WIRELESS BROADBAND

Wireless "broadband" internet in Philippines has the most complained type of connection and has budget promos to choose from. However, it is misleading even if it is budget wise since it intertwine with the word "broadband". THIS IS NOT A DSL connection. This is "suitable" only for people who are always on the go, like people who have their laptop always with them and serve as a backup if in case their laptop are wifi ready (latest) (there are netbooks who are not wifi ready). This comes in plan and prepaid. I am telling you, this is not a stable internet connection, not applicable for gamers and people who have business over the internet. If you are a "surf and click" type of person around the net, then this is for you.



WIRELESS BROADBAND MODEM 1

Wi-Fi Broadband modem is wireless indoor but not completely no wires. This is similar to Smart broadband and Globe broadband, bundled with telephone line or not. This has to be connected in a telephone line to get signal to transmit connection. However, using your telephone line doesn't affect the performance of your internet.



WIRELESS BROADBAND MODEM 2

Wireless transmitting through signal Some wireless but with antenna to receive signal, like Globe Wimax For Globe Wimax experienced users, please read here. Some ISP apparatus use only small device to screw on top of your home. But i think this is no longer offered or use due to massive complains and unsubscriptions.

Base on informations i read, Globe Wimax is reliable and fast internet for home users. On the other hand, please be mindful that the connection is NOT stable and constant because it is signal or transmitter dependent, thus, fast connection is not at its peak when weather is uncooperative, or transmitter down.


CABLE AND DSL 

Digital Line or famously known as DSL and CABLES are the most stable next to fiber optic. Why? because it is wired and shared through router if you're using DSL. DSL is the most common among the internet cafe, offices, home users, schools and universities subscribed to this service. However, Cable connection is far more stable because even if it rains, it doesn't fluctuate nor affect the connection. This setup is a no problem depending on your ISP (internet provider). Specifically, DSL is similar to Wireless Broadband, although DSL is less strange downtime and static, cheaper than wireless due to convenience and can handle multiple connection. Like us in home, we maximize this service and router because all of our devices are Wi-Fi ready including printer.


DATA PLAN

If you are the type of person who is always on the go and you need to be updated whether it is for business or personal, but your bill is ruining your budget, i suggest get it unlimited with a fix peso value. I myself is a subscriber and this saved my ass a lot of times specifically in my field job. Plus, it is way cheaper than your per day basis unlimited.

If you're gadget is tether portable ready, you can share your internet with a password just like a wifi router :) click here for tutorial.

You can avail the SIM Only or the plan with gadget bundled. But since i have my device already, i availed the SIM because it is much cheaper.



Now that we understand what are ISP connections are, we will dissect the providers to fully cater to what and who serves us best.

What is the best internet service provider in the Philippines?


I am not saying that Smart Communication is the worst internet provider but the fact that it is has the most complains among the top 4 service providers in the country. In my opinion, it has the most complains because  subscribers do not understand what they thought is they're getting. Precisely speaking the connection they thought it would be.

Smart Communications is worst because their connection the worst there is. It is transmitter tower (telecommunication) dependent that makes it weak. It has no strong foundation in connectivity but still manage to up-keep because it caters to prepaid and postpaid plan.

Globe Telecom is a mid range, yet not the best ISP. It still lack in strong connections in some areas in the Philippines.  Though it has the most services to choose from e.g., Wireless broadband, Tattoo Stick (USB) DSL with Fiber optic cable system. Globe has various bundles and promos to cater the standard of users.

Sky Broadband (Cable) was the first company to offer DSL cable in the Metro Manila. This was our first ISP back 1998 and we were happy of their service. Need i say more?

Fibr PLDT, the first Fiber Optic in the Metro. PLDT is the access provider and The TV portion of the Triple Play package is provided by Cignal. I don't know how that will work and who is the sole provider of its "Fibr", but this explains well that it is expensive. Are you willing to go overboard of P3,500 and P5,800 for bundled internet and cable.




Please be aware that everything is based on facts and experience and since i am living in Quezon City, the connection explains territorial. Meanwhile, the connection still varies in location or on site.

If you have further questions, please call their respective hotlines to know more.

best Twitter application PLUME






I admit i am a fan of Tweetdeck and i believe that nobody can beat it (before). But when it was for closure, i couldn't find myself seeing better application to replace Tweetdeck because i think it was the best twitter application

Other softwares. 

Don't get me wrong I even tried Hootsuite but I cant stand it too long because i find it ambiguous to start with. Although the columns and accounts may easy to incorporate, but it lack professionalism and corporate style. They are advantageous for  the accounts but it is not enough for convenience are carefree usage. One of their strong competitiveness is they support browser extensions and software like the web.tweetdeck.com


THE PLUME 


Just like any 3rd party twitter application and softwares, you can have Twitter and Facebook accounts signed in as many as you want and have different timelines for each account. 


Unfortunately this application is only available for tablet and smartphones with advertisement below but doesn't affect the performance and limit function the of the program. In fact, it is barely noticeable

1) What i like about Plume is that you have a preview of each tweets integrated with photos and videos, just tap the photo and it will zoom out without hitting a new page. Tap it again to get back from the tweet. Also you can view multiple pictures per tweet. 

2) Longer tweets are viewed accordingly. You do not have to click the link to read the long message. Twitlonger are known to this service. Isn't it amazing? 

3) When you write a tweet with #hashtag or a @user, PLUME will make it easier for you because it will automatically detect available tags to choose from and no need to write the characters. 

4) Honestly, the LIST is working. When you click a profile, you can follow him/her or just add them in your list without having to follow them. Hence, you can subscribe too in other users' LIST like film and tv category

5) Trending topic, favorites and all among twitter functions are already in PLUME


Isn't it great to have in one application but you maximize its services? :) 
I really thank Plume for making such a wonderful application. It is such a big help.
