SM City Sta. Mesa Bloggers Event


It's another fun-filled afternoon when SM City Sta. Mesa invited a group of blogger, including me to test their wi-fi within the mall. The connection is still fast despite the fact that there were many of us, using the wifi connection at the SM City Sta. Mesa FoodCourt Area.

Of course, there's a reason why SM Sta. Mesa chooses the FoodCourt to be our venue-- the food! :) Anyway, the food stalls are the following: Baliwag Lechon, Aling Lucing, Pinoy Toppings, Chicken Company, Sizzling Plate, Balay Ilocos, Lechon de Cebu, Kusina ni Gracia, Mr. Porkshop, Dimsum Republic, Inihaw Express.


You can also try their take out corner: Dr. Kwek Kwek, Mister Donut, Sally's Kakanin, Pansit Malabon, Lugaw ni Juan, Chef Chow, Smokeys, Fruitas, Pizza Hut, Turk's Shawarma, Hong Kong Style Noodles, Chao Long Express, Buko ni Fruitas, Golden Saba, Lot's a PizzaFor Cart:Taste of China, Mr. Softy, In A Nutshell, Louie's Buko, Black Pearl, Sondrik, Greenfresh, Polland Hopia, Crave Chicharon, Potato Madness, Sherbetero, Satomi Takoyaki, Megamelt.

These are the foods that filled our tummy that day:


grilled meats from Kusina ni Gracia


Baliwag Lechon


Inihaw Express


roasted pig from Lechon De Cebu


Sinanglao


rice porridge by Lugaw Ni Juan

Sally's Kakanin


Pansit Malabon :)


Igado


empanada by Balay Ilocos


Dinakdakan "Sisig Ilocakano"

After that bloggers: Joney Uy, Rowena Wendy Lim Lei & Michelle Cu- Martinez showed off their blog on the large screen monitor, so people roaming around SM Sta. Mesa will have a closer look on what they are writing about.

SM City Sta. Mesa raffled off some goodies to the bloggers too! And that includes Jollibee gift certificates, Pizza Hut tumblers, a speaker, a headset, and a new Samsung phone. I won a tumbler FYI :) That raffle was sponsored by Island Gas, ASC Food Marketing, Jollibee Sta. Mesa and Pizza Hut.

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole Movie Review

Image
I watched Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole for two times. One in the advance screening in Cinema 1, SM Megamall courtesy of 99.5 RT and on it's premiere night at IMAX , SM North EDSA the next day. Why? I just want to know what's the difference between the Digital 3D and the 3D at IMAX. When I first saw the trailer of this film, it really caught my attention because of the superb graphic. It has a nice plot too, which makes the movie more interesting. So that means, I have high expectation on this film.

Angelina Jolie Turns on the Charm in “THE TOURIST”

Image
A ngelina Jolie plays Elise Ward, a beautiful (of course!) and mysterious woman involved in a romantic relationship with the wanted thief Alexander Pearce – but keeps her true motivations close to the vest, in Columbia Pictures' new romantic thriller “The Tourist.” “She’s instructed by Alexander to take a train from Paris to Venice, and while on the train find a man – someone of Alexander’s height and build,” says Jolie. “She finds Frank (played by Johnny Depp) and throws him into this adventure.” Jolie had been attracted to “The Tourist” by the potential of the strong female character and by the chance to work with director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, and to have him co-write the script. After a very early meeting, it was clear that the director and star were on the same page about the kind of movie they wanted to make. “Henckel von Donnersmarck's `The Lives of Others' is a beautiful, intelligent film, but also heavy,” says Jolie. “When we met, he was very cl
