2+2

Did you know that the character Lucretia - the wife of the politician Batiatus - is played by Lucy Lawless? Ms. Xena, The Warrior Princess herself! May asim pa!

You're a good person who occassionally fumbles, commits mistakes and makes bad decisions from time to time. Don't be so hard on yourself.

Segafredo Zanetti. They have branches in GB3, Podium and along Wilson. (Try their Cafe Vienna - to die for!)

Lavazza.

Cafe Verona, Gold Coast and Guatemala Antigua blends of Strabucks.

1. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell - dubbed as "Harry Potter for grown-ups." It's a laborious read - but worth the effort!

2. The Historian - a new twist to yet another vampire story

3. Time Traveller's Wife - yeah, yeah, yeah - it's a love story. But not the sappy type. The plot is basically what the title says.

4. Freakonomics - an engaging read; a very entertaining way to waste your time. It doesn't claim to have one big thesis - you could say that these are vignettes c/o the dismal science.

5. Eleven Minutes - hihihi!

Conrado de Quiros.

Just finished "The Time Traveller's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger.

I'm alternating "Midnight's Children" by Salman Rushdie and "The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories" by Susanna Clarke.

Tap Dance!!!

I dance boogie, swing, cha-cha and tango.

Anyone here knows of any studio that offers tap dance lessons? River Dance: idol! :thumbsupsmiley:

Try nyo rin Wah Yuen, just a few meters after McDo coming from Quezon Ave.

The main branch is actually in Escolta so you can imagine how authentic this Chinese joint can be. Try the usual fare: noodles, dimsum, chicken. You won't be disappointed. However, the place needs a little improvement in terms of cleaning their walls and floors.

anyone knows if we have a benihana resto or benihana style resto in the makati/phils?

There used to be a Benihana in El Pueblo (Ortigas Center) six or seven years back.

I agree with Misterbig7, Kimpura comes close.

Behrouz - Damn, 2+2 I've been visiting this place for ages. The ultimate in cheap guilty pleasures. They have branches in Wilson and Makati but the prices are also for Wilson and Makati areas. Dito pa rin ang puso ko!

Amen to that, Smooth T! I'm sure you've also tried their humus with pita bread - Saraaaap! :thumbsupsmiley:

Pale, RHB, San Mig Light, Super Dry, Cerveza

Bud, Bud Light, Miller

Heineken, Guinness, Fosters

Tiger, Tsingtao, Singha

With fresh/low-fat milk in the morning.

Black after lunch.

As a night cap after heavy drinking, double-shot espresso! :evil:

Dulce de leche of Haagen Dazs

Mochi line by Dreyers'

Brownie Fudge something by Swensens

Sinigang na Maliputo (Maliputong Loob), Fried/Grilled Tawilis and Inihaw na Pusit in Hapag Kainan Restaurant, Lipa City, Batangas

Bulalo! Take your pick: Rose & Grace in Sto. Tomas, Batangas or Diner's in Tagaytay City. (Isama na rin natin ang Hoseña's Bulaluhan along F. Blumentritt St., Kalentong. Dinadayo pa 'to ni FPJ and Erap nung araw...)

Alupihang dagat ang pulid-pulid (young/small oysters - a lot tastier) from Hagunoy (?), Bulacan

Crispy Pata in Candelaria, Quezon

What are the best cakes in the whole world?

Marjolane in Sugarhouse

Caramel Cake from this house in Bel-Air

Tiramisu in Manila Pen (forgot the resto's name)

Chicken Ramen @ Sakura.

Seafood Noodle Soup (Hand-pulled noodles) @ Mey-Lin (Pata Tim with cuapao!) :boo:

Adobo (Chinese-style) @ Wah Yuen

Friends (for Men) by Moschino.

White CK boxer briefs.

Black/Gray Hanes/Jockey Boxer Briefs

Have you tried the Behrouz in Metrowalk? Nagkaron din 'to ng branch sa Wilson St., Grenhills before.

Anyway, the original one is in Sct. Tobias, perpendicular to Timog. (Coming from the scouts' memorial rotonda, heading for Quezon Ave., this is the street to your left right before KTV21.) After turning left, it's to your right, mga 50m lang ang layo. Ni wala ata 'tong signage.

If you want authentic Persian cuisine that's easy on the pocket, this is the place to go. Iranians talaga ang may ari. If you're lucky (or unlucky?) enough, you'll find them manning the counter. Wala nga lang ambiance 'to, parang a tad or two higher than your typical carinderia.

Order their beef kabab and roll it into your pita bread, garnished with their grilled onion and tomato, spiced with their garlic and chili sauce - YUM! For the more adventurous (and those who don't give a hoot about their cholesterol levels), order the ox brain - heaven! Chug it down with sweetened yoghurt shake for that authentic arab taste and I'm sure you'll plan your next visit the minute you step out of the place.

By the way, this joint has been around since the early 90's! So you can just imagine their staying power because of the tasty food they serve.

Ang pagdura sa kalye! :sick:

Ang pag singa sa kalye! (Without any tissue, mind you!) :thumbsdownsmiley:

Ang pagiging utak-talangka, lalo na ng mga ka-opisina mo! :grr:

I wanna learn how to TAPDANCE. Meron ba dito sa Pinas non?

I wanna learn how to play the harmonica.

I wanna learn how to hack into Citibank and Standard Chartered so I can delete my friggin' account there!
