GoodAh! Open 25 Hours

Calling all QC Peeps, GoodAh!!! just opened a branch at Timog Ave. (right beside imperial suites, just along the rotonda). Lies at Tomas Morato, one of the busiest district especially at night during weekends. Good news it is open 25 hours!

GoodAh!!! is this like this fast food chain “setup” and has this diner vibe, you’ll love the statement chairs (the ones written at the back of the chairs). Well the menu consist of Pinoy food with no mix of western cuisine compare to the other local fast food chains and restaurants. It has the classic rice meals from (ALTANGHAP) TAPSILOG (P114), TAPA FLAKES (P129), TAPA BACON(P119), TAPSI MAX (P169), TOSILOG (P104), LONGSILOG (P104), BANGSILOG (P114), SHANGSILOG (P89). “Rice to sawa meals” add P10 you get red tea, pork and barbeque platters ranging from P104-124. Specials, such as RIBSILOG (P180), BEEF NILAGA (P144), PORK SINIGANG (P139), PARES (P94) & Boy’s bistek (P129)- P3 will go to the “Make Your Nanay Proud Foundation” They aslos serve Mami and Lugaw as well (GOTO, ARROZCALDO & BULA LUGAW)

For Desserts, I most highly prefer the Coolers they have it in MANGO, PANDAN AND MAIS CON YELO. They have the classic HALO HALO (P59), SMALL LECHE PLAN (P39) & SMALL BUKO PANDAN (P29) – I prefer the buko pandan over the leche plan its kinda zesty and PUTO FLAN (P29)

Highlight of the opening is the launch of the favorite and mouthwatering guilty pleasure P599 CRISPY PATA, comes with 4 cups of rice, 3 dips (Adobo, classic soy vinegar and sweet chili) and 4 glasses of orange juice. In proportion, it is good exactly for 3-4 persons and it is crispylicious, not too much oil also. Not bad right?

Having the privilege to meet Tito Boy at the launch, is one my dreams because I look up to him because he is such a good host, influential speaker – he knows the right things to say and he can think of questions spur at the moment. I would like to attend one of his classes one day. A good man of his craft, such wisdom and how he emphasizes that it is important to watch over your health. He has such a good soul that every purchase of Boy’s Bistek will go to Make your Nanay Proud Foundation.

Goodah!!! Makes Crispy Pata Better!

Crispy pata has always been a favorite when there is something to celebrate with family or friends. And to kick off the party season for the last quarter of this year, crispy pata will be a special item on GoodAh!!!’s menu. The popular all-Filipino food chain, known for being “Open 25 Hours” a day, will be serving a twist on this classic crispy pata dish.

The usual approach in cooking a great tasting crispy pata begins with its preparation, way before putting it in a bath of piping hot oil. Pork legs are boiled in salted water with a dash of vinegar with some herbs and spices, until the meat and skin are fork- tender. The leg is then transferred to a wok, where it is deep fried to get that crispy skin and juicy meat. Traditionally, it is enjoyed with spiced vinegar mixed with soy sauce.

This is where GoodAh!!!’s Crispy Pata will definitely be a mouthwatering treat to crispy pata lovers out there. At Goodah!!! The crispy pata comes with Trio Dip: Adobo Sauce, Classic Soy Vinegar, and Spicy Sweet Chili! The crispy pork trotter is paired with the savory goodness of the store’s very own adobo sauce as a delicious dip for the crispy and juicy favorite. It’s a totally unexpected offering! Diners will also be served the original soy vinegar mix as a dip and another twist, the sweet chili sauce.

Every crunch from a bite crackles with a slather of aromatic flavors from adobo sauce, which then oozes with the tender meat to give it the sharp flavor of soy sauce that is balanced by the sweet-sour taste that most Filipinos love. The dish’s savory crisp skin and succulent meat pairs well with a big serving of fresh-cooked rice, and that makes it a perfect group meal.

This amazing dish will be the centerpiece offering when Goodah!!!’s new branch opens along Timog Avenue, Q.C. this October. It will simultaneously be offered in their other 6 branches in the metro. For just PhP 599, the whole family or a group of friends can enjoy GoodAh!!!’s unique twist to crispy pata in a la carte. They can also add fried rice and 4 glasses of orange juice to complete it into a meal package, which is very affordable at PhP 699. The new GoodAh!!! Crispy Pata is the best way to celebrate the opening of the restaurant’s seventh branch

For more than 30 years GoodAh!!! has been serving Filipinos with “Pagkaing Good for Every-All” and they were the ones who first coined acronym dishes like Tapsilog, Tosi, Longsi, and many others that has become a ubiquitous part of popular Filipino meals today. And they continue to push culinary boundaries with this new and exciting twist on crispy pata.

Watch out for more exciting dishes from GoodAh!!! by visiting their website at www.goodah.com.ph or their Facebook at www.facebook.com/GoodahPh.

Sarangani Bay Prime Bangus

LOVE BANGUS! Especially the marinated ones plus having that texture and flavor is important to me. The way that it is cooked it can be FRY, GRILLED, BAKED & BROIL. Commonly, in the Pinoy household we fry bangus or we mix it as the meat to any of our local pinoy dishes.

Sarangani Bay Prime Bangus has this distinct enticing flavor with every bite and how well marinated the flavors mix together. It is hard to describe the taste specifically it has this very savory and juicy taste. No annoying aftertaste for as long you cook it properly. It is available in local groceries stores near you at the frozen good s section. It is affordable and the proportions gives you justice to what you paid for. I really love the marinated ones, for the unseasoned well, better prep some toyo and kalamansi to go with – this is for those especially with special diets like NO SODIUM Diet. But the texture of the fish is good, it has flavor but not as enticing as the marinated ones.

MARINATED:

UNSEASONED:

So far I’ve done is frying the bangus, it didn’t really give that strong scent while it was being cooked. It was more of an appetizing scent when we fried it. If I find the time I’ll try to do different cooking preparations (grill, bake and broil) and try the suggested cooking recipes they have at the back of each pack of fish (with the nutritional value). It so cool there are suggested recipes for each kind of Sarangani Bay Prime Bangus to whip up besides doing the usual. The Bangus comes in Boneless, Marinated and Spicy flavor #SaranganiBayPremiumBangus

WESTWORLD on HBO

MONDAY OCT 3, 2016 AT 9 AM, WITH SAME DAY PRIMETIME ENCORE AT 9PM EXCLUSIVELY ON HBO

HBO Chanel 54/ 168 on SKYCABLE and Ch 22 on Sky Direct & will be available on HBO (hboasia.com.ph)

WESTWOLRD stars Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood and James Marden. Inspired by the 1973 series “Westworld” written and directed by Michael Crichton. Created for television by Jonathan Nolan (“Interstellar”, “Dark Night”, “Person of Interest”) and Lisa Joy (“Pushing Diaries, “Burn Notice”).

WESTWORLD, under the creative supervision of Dr. Robert Ford who has this odd fascination in creating this complicated world in wild west. The park had been running for 10 years (or more as mentioned in the pilot), this is where guest (real life people) pay get to experience life in the wild west and get to mingle with the host(s). The hosts were created perfectly formed humans and technologically generated. They live doing the same routine everyday but with different circumstances one day they can be alive, the next day you won’t- It’s like a series.

All things started to go down when they started to upgrade the system, well some of the host started to go haywire or experiencing glitches. Apparently they may not be human, but some of them are starting to think and be one. Wondering if what kind of world they live is real or not.

This series will be highly appreciated by tho who are into sci-fi (the deep ones), there may be inappropriate scenes not for kids but I appreciated the cinematography and location in the wild west.

“Chestnut Brown” Liese Creamy Bubble Color Review

Liese creamy bubble color is the latest bubble technology from Japan brought to you by Vibelle Distribution inc., comes in 6 brown tones available here in the Philippines- Chestnut brown, Milk tea brown, Marshmallow brown, Milky Beige, Raspberry brown & Rose tea brown.

Well I’ve attempted to try the “Chestnut brown”, because I wanted that classy dark chocolate brown color and my roots are already showing means I need to retouch, even it out and it is the nearest shade from my previous hair tone (it was actually reddish-brown before).

What caught my attention to try the product, because the advertisements says it is easy to apply and it is worth P499.00 – not bad. Liese, is locally available at Landmark, SM department stores and Robinsons, I think. I got mine from Landmark, and it was almost sold-out. I waited for 2 weeks for the re-stock for Chestnut brown to be available.

So lets start with the box, it says “EASY & COMPLETE COVERAGE”. Well it is easy because you could do it at your very home, simple instructions to follow though quite messy in a way so it would be nice to ask for help and plan ahead . It does work fast in just about 20-30 minutes. It did give a full coverage on the OUTER layers of the hair, but in between the roots some parts didn’t especially the hard to reach parts or I didn’t part it properly?

My friend and I realized that we should have SECTIONED our hair and asked someone to apply foam on the hard to reach areas and the inner roots- like the traditional way we apply hair color. Overall it is a good product and let’s be honest there is a difference between DIY coloring done at home and done professionally in a salon but not all can afford and I do recommend it.

TIP: If you have short hair (SHOULDER LENGTH), 1 box is enough. If your hair is long & thick opt for 2 boxes ( like what I did).

STEPS:

Read the instructions outside the box and it comes with a handy manual inside. PLEASE READ THE “CAUTION FOR USE” PART on the MANUAL (Read everything actually)

And SORRY, I disregarded the skin allergy test- so it was my own judgement HUHU. I have sensitive skin that’s why but I checked the ingredients I don’t have any allergies with any.

I’ll be honest, apparently some foam touched my ears while applying (my fault) which I ignored and didn’t take notice. So the next day, the back of my ears became itchy & red. I managed it by applying ALOE VERA SOOTHING GEL every time since it is all natural/organic, it has anti-inflammatory properties and took 1 dose of Claritin incase it was allergies and to lessen the itchy feeling, the next day I was better. I guess it was a NORMAL side effect. Maybe that’s why there was a need for OIL BASED SKIN CREAM (Read #2). #PASAWAY or I should had rinsed it off the first place.

But before that, make sure you have no allergies. As mentioned in the guide manual there are SKIN ALLERGY TEST PROCEDURES (done 48 hours in advance) and there is an available skin allergy test panel. As a nurse, also check the contents of the product.

Set up your hair & materials

Items inside the box include: Shampoo hair day before (preferably), Make sure your hair has no tangles and combed properly. No other products used on your hair.

Solution 1
Solution 2
Foamer Cap
Gloves
Rinse off treatment

Instruction sheetThings for you to set up/prepare

Large Towel / cape that won’t mind staining. FOR ME, I used an old black colored shirt that I don’t use that much.

Small towel – for wiping any excess foam and others.

Floor covering such as news paper – well some of the foam hit my room & washroom ‘s floor(s) plus the bathroom sink, it didn’t stain for as long you wipe and clean it right away. Unfortunately on my furniture there was a spot and it truned white. It says in the manual, foam splatter may cause staining HUHU

Mirror

Clock

Oil based skin cream ??? – to wipe off the excess, I think (Didn’t have one prepared but it was mentioned on the manual with no rationale ). Then I realized maybe I should applied it on the back of my ears incase of contact with the foam IDK?

Cotton pad and tissue paper – to wipe off excess,

Foam application
For the solutions, room temperature is just fine. So FIRST, get solution 1 which is the small bottle that says number 1 and all in Korean writings.Pour solution 1 into solution 2, then close the lid of solution 2.Solution 2 – GENTLY INVERT THE CONTAINER BACK AND FORTH at 180 degree angle for 5 times (CHECK THE MANUAL ON THE PROPER PLACING OF YOUR HANDS- to know the form)- make sure it doesn’t foam inside, DO NOT SHAKE.Place the FOAMER CAP properly, twist until it is tightly sealed. Once done COLOR HAIR IMMEDIATELY! Mixture will lose its effects 60 minutes after being mixed.Put on gloves, HOLD CONTAINER IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION and squeeze the center part to dispense foam on your hand/palm.Now it is time to apply the foam YAY! Do not apply foam directly from the bottle to hair – Avoid foam in contact with the eyes.TIP: For short hair, apply ¾ and for shoulder length use the ENTIRE BOTTLE -Since I have thick and long hair, 2 bottles. For me, I prepared the 2 mixtures first and applied it all on my hair for as long I meet the 60-minute time range for the effectiveness of the dye. (As mentioned earlier).APPLY FOAM AT THE ENTIRE HEAD/SCALP and PARTING WITH GENEROUS AMOUNT OF FOAM.THEN BACK OF YOUR HEAD & AFTERWARDS, APPLY TO THE HAIRLINE AND TO THE ENDS OF THE HAIR.TIP: Then start SECTIONING for the hard to reach parts and roots. The trick is to make sure you cover your hair with bubble foam from roots to tips. AFTER THAT GATHER YOUR HAIR UP.USING YOUR FINGERTIPS (still on GLOVES), GENTLY MASSAGE UNTIL HAIR IS COVERED WITH FOAMY LATHER – Do not massage vigorously.

NOTE: After use, make sure you use everything in the bottle, it may cause the bottle to burst. For the remaining, wash it down the drain.

Waiting Game Yay! (20-30 MINUTES)

NOTE: Lather may disappear and may start dripping

RINSING
Rinse with lukewarm water, shampoo your hair thoroughly once then REPEAT.Apply the RINSE OFF TREATMENT, RINSE and DRY HAIR COMPLETELY.TIP: Incase of skin staining, use makeup remover or soap & water then rinse it off

Well I was happy with the result and I achieved the shade I wanted plus it didn’t dry or damage my hair. It has been almost a month since I colored my hair with LIESE, just have proper hair treatments to maintain your colored hair- using shampoo for colored hair and conditioner. You’ll get to appreciate it more as the days go by.

The back of my ear just reacted the day after, but all was well after managing it. I was just sharing my experience incase you guys may have a similar encounter and to prevent. #TIISGANDA

Note: Results/ Shades may vary according to your hair tone

It’s your judgment if you want to wash your hair the next day or not (traditionally they say for the color to stick/last but it wasn’t mentioned on the manual). For me, I skipped a day not to wash my hair.

MACGYVER on AXN!

MAKE WAY FOR THE ALL-NEW MACGYVER ONLY ON AXN

PREMIERES SEPTEMBER 29 AT 9:45PM

Philippines (September 10, 2016) – AXN has one ‘Gy’ to save the world this September with

MacGyver, a dynamic re-imagining of the iconic hit television series that was hugely popular in

the eighties.

Set to premiere September 29, first and exclusively on AXN, this modern-day take is an action-

adventure drama that features Angus “Mac” MacGyver who forms a clandestine organization

within the U.S. government. Here MacGyver utilizes his extraordinary talent making inventive

use of ordinary objects in a matter of minutes to decipher seemingly unsolvable problems.

The action-packed series follows the unconventional exploits of our young hardware hero as he

undertakes high-risk missions to save lives around the globe. Highly resourceful and with vast

scientific knowledge, MacGyver narrowly escapes life-and-death situations armed with a little

more than common items, like a paper clip, duct tape, and his trusty Swiss Army knife. Joining

him is the maverick former CIA agent Jack Dalton.

Lucas Till (Havok in the X-Men movie series) stars as MacGyver while CSI veteran George

Eads plays Jack Dalton. Peter Lenkov (Hawaii Five-0, CSI:NY), Golden Globe Award winner

Henry Winkler (Happy Days), Lee Zlotoff (MacGyver), James Wan (Saw, The Conjuring) serve

as executive producers for the series.

Expect lots of thrills in the premiere episode directed by James Wan of The Conjuring and

Insidious fame as MacGyver puts his troubleshooting skills to the test and cleverly implements

unorthodox methods to hurdle over complex problems and eventually become triumphant in the

end.

MacGyver premieres same week as the U.S. on September 29, every Thursday at 9:45 pm.

First & Exclusive on AXN

AXN is seen on Cable Link Channel 38, Cignal Digital TV Channel 61, Global Destiny

Cable Channel 61, Dream Channel 20, GSat Channel 51, and SKYCable Channel 49.

Olay offers great deals with Lazada

Us women may have an arsenal of makeup in our train cases and kits, but we tend to forget the skin we have underneath all that makeup. We should also have an arsenal of skincare products especially for the face. Olay has been promoting for years that youthful skin regimen – eliminating the early signs of aging.

Now that I’m 23, this is the stage where I give importance now to my skin. Infairness, I can still pull off as less than 18 years old or a college student but I still have those raging and hormonal-popping pimples & zits. Yet, I get so insecure despite I have less pimples now compared to before, I have lots of dark spots.

When my skin got tested under the new technology of Olay, despite my skin is perfectly hydrated it is almost damage in average- because I stay too much under the sun. I was recommended to try out Olay’s facial foam cleanser, toner (Olay White Radience Cellucent Eseence Water Hydrating Toner) and Olay White Radiance Advanced Whitening Cellucent White Essence Serum.- which I personally bought on Lazada, originally worth P1499.00 but on Lazada’s special offer it is P899.00 and comes with Olay Whitening Moisture with Pearl Extract Bodywash.

In line with Olay’s latest technology and products in collaboration with Lazada, another collaboration with designer Jojie Lloren. in designing the uniforms of Olay’s beauty consultants. To quote, “Timeless, Sophistication & Elegance”- Jojie Lloren.

Olay understands that skin care can be complex and intimidating. Committed to effective yet easy skin care, Olay was the first in the Philippines to have Beauty Consultants, who aim to help Filipinas find the perfect skin care product for them.

#Goals by AndreaB

I realized when I was young instead of being full of idealism I should have set some goals. Well I guess I did accomplish a lot of things during highschool but I didn’t write down a list, I just had desires to be this and that, then I wasn’t focus also- comes with being young (wala pa wisdom)

#Goals by Andrea Brillantes, sets a perfect example that people her age should be focusing on goals instead of other necessary things. You’ve seen teens nowadays compared to us when we were young teen (I’m referring to us Millenials or Generation X) WE OLD HAHA

Andrea Brillantes book is called #Goals Your epic journey to be the best of you comes in 2 covers, one in pink where she is all girly and the one in purple is like rocker/edgy chic but both same content. ) The book will be available in all National bookstore branches for just P195. I envy her because at the age of 13, she achieved goals and milestones- she has a book, she is an actress, big fan base, endorsements and lots of followers on social media. People took more notice of her when she posted her musically videos online.

The thing I share in common with this gal is that, pareho makapal kilay namin (I grew up with a unibrow actually) – just like me she maintains it by waxing and threading and YES, we don’t use fillers much. And we talked about make up and we both like Kylie lipkits/ cosmetics. In her book she shares her tips on applying makeup suitable for her age and her OOTDS ofcourse. It’s cute she has this page of doll cut outs and you can dress up Andrea.

The book compromises of different chapter with fun-filled activities, the first part is like a scrapbook and BTW her real name is BLYTHE GOROSTIZA (That’s why people were calling her Bythe at the book launch- love the name, very unique).In the book there are comic strips about her life like she was bullied before and the auditions she had to go through.

I like the “BrillanTIPS” part because it gives wisdom for those her age, she is an advocate of anti-bullying because she experience it first-hand and how she wants this to stop and tips on how to deal with bullies IRL and in social media. I do agree that popularity doesn’t matter when you get older, it maybe a stigma from where you come from and the people involve but It won’t matter because you’ll meet new people (some mature or immature- you just need to know how to handle different people) and life after college matters way more- TRUST ME. She mentioned her dream role is to be a “DARBEL” (Darna and Dyesabel), so there is a page where Darbel is brought to life into an animated drawing.

Well I would recommend this book for the tweens and teens (Give it to my younger siblings ) but I’ve surpassed that stage in my life and kids these days need those kind of wisdom. Popularity, kids is not everything, I’ve learned something from a symposium I attended this week which I can correlate with this blogpot is that, I asked a priest on “What have you been looking for, and what goal should that be”, He answered is “Being yourself”- Just be happy, Love yourself and Live Honestly & be SMART!

Blacklist Season 4 on AXN

CRIME THRILLER THE BLACKLIST SEASON 4 SET TO PREMIERE ON AXN WITH MORE SHOCKING TWISTS

SEPTEMBER 27 at 9:45PM

PHILIPPINES (September 9, 2016) – AXN turns up the drama this month with the gripping return of the critically acclaimed thriller, The Blacklist.

In season four, premiering on September 27 at 9:45pm, former U.S. Naval Intelligence Officer turned criminal mastermind Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader) has become the FBI’s Most Wanted Fugitive. For decades, he evaded capture until he voluntarily surrenders to FBI Assistant Director Harold Cooper (Harry Lennix). He claims he has in his possession a “blacklist” of the world’s most dangerous criminals he has been associated with during his nefarious career and is willing to cooperate with the FBI to bring them down under two conditions: immunity from prosecution, and that he insists on working exclusively with Elizabeth “Liz” Keen (Megan Boone), a newly assigned rookie profiler with the FBI.

Teaming up with special agents Donald Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff), Aram Motjabai (Amir Arison), and Samar Navabi (Mozhan Marnò) , Reddington and Liz join ranks, use all available resources and technology of the FBI, and will never stop at nothing until all names on his list are crossed out – either arrested or eliminated.

Along the way, Cooper, Keen, and the other agents become suspicious of the real motives of Reddington. They are not aware of the behind-the-scenes maneuverings perpetrated by Reddington as he manipulates to his end the trust of his former allies. Little did they know that for every case they work on, for every criminal they track down and apprehend, Reddington always has a hidden agenda for his own personal gain. Moreover, Keen starts to question Reddington’s interest in her, not content in hearing him say that she is “very special” to him.

For years, Reddington has sacrificed everything, even to the point of risking his life to protect Keen. But his efforts seem to be for nothing. Feeling betrayed, Keen loses focus, gets involved with the shooting of a high-ranking government official, and lands in the FBI’s Most Wanted list. In the end, she is determined to get away from what she perceives to be the controlling and overprotective Reddington. She devises a clever way and successfully does, but her plan backfires. Keen ends up in the hands of Reddington’s longtime nemesis, Alexander Kirk (Ulrich Thomsen), who claims to be her real father.

Everything becomes even more personal in the latest installment of the highly anticipated series. Reddington rescues Keen from Kirk, but their reunion casts a cloud of doubt on their relationship. The rivalry between Reddington and Kirk takes a dark turn. As Keen confronts her past, Ressler suddenly figures in her life. Is Kirk really Keen’s father? If not, who is? And the burning question will finally be answered: How is Reddington related to Keen that he cares so much about her?

The critically acclaimed crime thriller has received positive reviews for showing an ingenious and compelling crime procedural. Television critics have praised James Spader’s riveting performance as criminal-turned-informant Raymond Reddington, earning him a nomination for Best Actor – Television Series Drama in the Golden Globe Awards for two consecutive years, 2014 and 2015.
