Chompy and I got free tickets to the Ogie-Regine concert in Smart Araneta Center last Valentine’s night. Even though the sound was a bit off when it got to our section of the General Admissions row, Regine still pulls off the crowd-pleasing power notes during her parts.
I note that their background during the Whitney Houston tribute consisted of vector images, showing that they didn’t get permission to show Ms. Houston’s actual image during the concert.
I enjoyed the Boy Pickup segment very much, as well as Vice Ganda’s moments.
I am now catching up with all the Boy Pickup segments from Bubble Gang.
Lico, Ariel and I decided to spend the last remaining months of 2012 food tripping. First up, Binondo. We arrived at Ongoing St., which was lined up by vendors preparing for the Chinese New Year. Various round fruits, turnips and mock gold nuggets were for sale.
Our first stop is Dong Bei, known for its dumplings. When we got there, two ladies were preparing dumplings by the entrance. When we saw the prices, we were floored.
14 dumplings for P100?! Then we tasted the dumplings.
Awesommmmme! Very fresh. I highly recommend this dumpling house, by the back of Binondo Church.
We proceeded to President’s Tea House for the main course, noodles. I’ve always had qualms about this place. Which president owns this tea house? Is the president a viable expert on Oriental cuisine.
Finally, we shopped for pasalubong in Salazar Bakery, where I finally located some Chinese mochi.
If you have questions about the location of Binondo, simply follow this guy’s direction.
