MMDA Announces Week-long Suspension of Number Coding


MMDA Announces Week-long Suspension of Number Coding

Tthe MMDA announced that the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP), commonly known as the number coding system, is lifted from April 2 (Monday) to April 9., 2012 (Monday), except in the Republic of MAKATI where the number coding system will be lifted only from April 5 (Holy Thursday) to April 9, 2012 (Monday).


While the number coding system is in effect in the Republic of Makati, motorists may pass Makati through EDSA and President Osmena Ave. but not the internal roads of Makati. 

MMDA said the lifting of the coding ban would promote fast and efficient travel to and from Metropolitan Manila. 


This is a good news to fellow travelers who will be going home to their respected provinces. At least you and I, fellow travelers, will not worry anymore about the number coding (except for those who will travel to Makati).

I wish everyone a safe travel. May God Bless us always!

Bon Chon Restaurant


Bon Chon Restaurant
Bon Chon Restaurant Twice Fried Chicken
Bon Chon Restaurant is the newest addition to the Korean Twice Fried chicken craze
Bon Chon Restaurant, Twice Fried Chicken
Everyone is talking about this new chicken restaurant in town!  Please note that this review is base on our own experience.  We paid for our own meals with our own money. 
Bon Chon Restaurant
It seems to me that people can't get enough of this chicken that they go to this restaurant and even have them delivered straight to their offices and homes almost everyday. Imagine that!

The dinner crowd at Bon Chon Restaurant.
Bon Chon Restaurant
I overheard these guys that they were invited by the PR to do a review. After eating, they were given tokens and umbrella by the lady in white.
Bon Chon Restaurant
Bon Chon or “New Village” is a Korean restaurant which traces its roots in South Korea. It conquered the United States and had most food critiques craving for the spicy chicken wings glazed in soy-garlic. The now famed chicken is crunchy in the outside while maintaining the juicy meat inside.
Bon Chon Restaurant
So after an event at Ayala Triangle Square I asked www.yummy-tales.blogspot.com to accompany me to Bon Chon restaurant so I can eat the famous Bon Chon chicken. Unfortunately, the lady in the counter convinced me to try the fish n' chips instead. Bad choice:-( 
Whoaaaaa! The lady manning the counter said that their bestseller was the spicy fish n'chips. I am a Bicolana but the fish n'chips is way too spicy for me. I wanted to crack my knuckles for listening to her and not my instinct to buy the chicken wings instead:-(.
Verdict: It is a thumbs down for the spicy fish n'chips. I had to take it home because I can't barely eat the too spicy fish n'chips. I better get smart and follow my instinct next time around and order the chicken instead. Two fingers.
Bon Chon Restaurant should improve their dish.
Bon Chon Restaurant
We will try their chicken next time.

Wilma Doesnt Topless in Playboy Magazine


"What else is new?" Mariposa quips when I told her that comedian and Mariposa's all-time favorite pinoy supermodel Wilma Doesnt  is the cover girl of Playboy Magazine April 2012 fourth year anniversary issue.   
Yes, folks! Wilma Doesnt undressed for the cover of Playboy Magazine Philippines this April 2012 entitled "Embracing All Colors".
For me parang nakakasawa na lahat na lang nag to top less. Summer nga panay ulan naman bakit kaya panay topless sila sa magazine? Hays, please don't emulate this people.
In 2003 Raymond Isaac launched a photo exhibit of his famous works one of which was a photograph of a naked and pregnant Wilma Doesnt.
Then she appeared again in Preview Magazine in 2007 again in all her pregnant glory. 

To my readers please be guided accordingly. Don't emulate everything that they do.

Michelle Madrigal goes topless in April 2012 issue of FHM


Oh la la! Everyone is going topless this summer 2012. Michelle Madrigal also goes topless in the April 2012 issue of FHM to the delight of their male fans. Maybe it's the summer heat that prompts them to go topless.
Michelle Madrigal started her career in 2004 with ABS-CBN Star Circle Quest. She then transferred to GMA 7. She played villain roles at the Kapuso channel, making the lives of the lead actresses a living hell.
On the FHM cover, a topless Madrigal was photographed sitting on a beach, wearing only a flesh-colored bottom, with her right leg and right arm strategically positioned to cover her breasts.
 “Summer isn't over for FHM! Feel the heat with our hot and sexy April cover girl Michelle Madrigal. Woohoo!” the magazine said on its Facebook page.
 The FB post immediately received over 3,075 likes and 266 comments, mostly positive.
“I will make sure to buy a copy,” FHM follower Roland Reyes commented on the magazine’s Facebook page.

"Like na like ko ‘yan ...nakakagigil ‘yang si Michelle,” Josel Madarang wrote on the comments.
Over at Twitter, celebrities congratulated Madrigal for the cover.

“Way to go sisterette,” her sister, Ehra, said on Twitter. “Grab a copy of my sister's, uber hot FHM cover for the month of April!”

Actress Maxene Magalona, host Raymond Gutierrez and talent manager Annabelle Rama also tweeted their greetings.
This is not the first time Michelle Madrigal has appeared on the cover of a men’s magazine. Michelle Madrigal first cover was for the now defunct Maxim magazine, and was also previously featured on FHM.
Michelle Madrigal told her Twitter followers on Thursday this:

 “Thanks for all the great comments about my FHM cover. Please grab a copy! Have a nice day,”


Welcome
