Philippine Airforce Planes over Fairview this Monday morning

These planes, hovering over our house this morning, broke the serenity of the neighborhood and went back in circles around 8 times. I asked the Plurk-world about it, and finally Arbet said that it was because of the "flyby" presentation of the Philippine Air Force for the AFP Anniversary celebration, where President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, the commander-in-chief, was the guest of honor.

The Tangerine Tree is still alive

This started way way back when I was still a little boy (according to my parents), they became known because of their really yummy Food For The Gods. It was a surprise for me and my parents to see that they have grown and became more successful today.




Right now, they have more products besides their FFTG. (Clockwise from L-R: Butter Royale, Fruits and Nuts, Choco Chum, Food for the Gods)

After tasting all of the products, my family have agreed that it's still their Food for the Gods which ranks #1 among the 4 treats, follwed by the Fruits and Nuts, then the Choco Chum, and lastly the Butter Royale. In my opinion, I really can't decide between the FFTG and the Fruits and Nuts, but one thing's for sure, I like the Butter Royale the least.

Elation Buffet and Shooters at Grand Terrace Event Place

Elation: The Finest Chocolate and Shooters Buffet launched last Friday at The Grand Terrace events place in Quezon City. It's the brainchild of the Abesamis sisters, combining flowing chocolate indulgence with shots of self-concocted alcoholic delights to reach the state of elation.

Speaking as a foodie, the chocolates were good, but it could be improved. The shooters were okay. For the price, and from the turn-out (though I really thought that people who went were really a lot younger than me - and I'm just 20), the event for me was a success! :)

Winner shot of the night! Summer, Winter, Autumn and Fall :3

You may check out the Elation Buffet Site for more details.

UrbanTakeover

I received this mail from Austria today. I was using the Wi-Fi over at Treats when my I saw my brother's plurk post about a letter that was delivered addressed to me. The very inquisitive brother opened my letter (how rude! >:P) and was surprised that the mail contained stickers.

I guess his instincts told him to search for what that was all about. Weeks or months ago, I emailed requesting for stickers on UrbanTakeover.

UrbanTakeover is an alternate reality game in your city.

You claim spots/territory by putting up stickers (in real life) and sending them a text message or entering the address on the website.

1. stick stickers in the city
2. mark your territory on a map
3. be notified, when someone crosses you
