Antonio's in Tagaytay is still the best.. Miele Guide of Asia agrees. I'll go for Verbena second and The Goose Station 3rd.

Other mention would be Sala in Makati (Not the bistro)

the truffle mac and cheese from Mrs. Jones is pretty awesome.

the prime rib from Myrons Place is amazing!

When I crave for thai, I go to Thai patio. I like it better than People's Palace.

Felix sucks... the menu is too pretentious and they cant seem to cook things properly.

Meron bang away-goal system ang Suzuki Cup?

I heard the commentators say that there is no "away goals rule" for the Suzuki Cup.

Although the boys look really tired, I'm really hopeful they'll snag a goal or 2. Penalties can go either way.

^^^ kahit vitamins ng mga athlete kinukurakot. Anyway greatwich and young husband ang star player ng askals diba?

Greatwich and Phil Younghusband score the goals. But Borromeo and Etheridge are the vital players.

Hey Guys!

Proud moment para sa Pilipinas!

Our Azkals tied Singapore and beat Vietnam in the AFP Suzuki Cup. To some, it might seem a small feat, but Singapore is a power house in South East Asia and Vietnam is the defending champion... It's the first time that the Phils reached the Semis..

Galing ng mga bata natin! Let's spread the word and continue supporting our Team!

I know VC and Sohotel has party rooms. Not sure about the girls, pero you can ask the supervisor. Sureball may alam yan.

hello, anybody here have a review for ford focus tdci 2.0 diesel 2010 model ghia ?

Can i give a review of the 5 door? sorry, its the only one that i have actual personal experience.

Being a mazda 3 driver, I was initially not happy driving the 5 door focus powershift. I thought it felt sluggish and slow. I was so wrong! The trick with diesel cars is that you need to have a heavy foot to make the most of it. (unlike gas cars) So when I drove the focus on a Sunday morning around SLEX, I was very happy. Suspension was good, it felt tight, rigid, and responsive. When I have the cash, I'll get the 5 door. Very euro looking.

IMO, The Ghia 4 door kind is a bit of a step back in terms of looks. But if its the powershift added to the tdci, I bet it would still be an awesome car.

if im not mistaken, the tdci powershift can run 24km/liter. But thats a mix of city and highway. Very good if you ask me.

if you guys have face book, ford has an account. I was able to attend the launch of the new ford fiesta last night! nice car. I think it will really give the jazz and yaris a good fight.

I've had a Rottweiler, labrador, mini dacshund and yorkie. They all have different traits. My rott was very chillaxed and calm. He definitely knew he was the Top Dawg! My Labrador died from hip displacia but she was very malambing. I was scared that she will open the door for robbers to come in... that's how friendly she was. Mini Dax was so smart, feisty to strangers, and so protective. If she knew how to speak, I'm sure she'd speak with an Oxford educated, english accent. She was a genius!! hahaha the Yorkie on the other hand, well, she was the dumb blonde/ bimbo... but she knew she was pretty.

Now, I have a mini schnauzer.. well, if you combine the 4 dogs i talked about, (minus the dumb blondeness) you have my mini schnau and more... I love that breed.

Looking forward to the new explorer coming out! Its coming to Manila in 2011, atleast, thats what I heard. I also heard from the same source that the Ford Fiesta 1.6 powershift 5d is coming in below the 850k mark. Cheaper than the top Vios, Yaris, Jazz and City?

Not bad if you ask me.

Just to assure you, yes it is normal to have a size differential after rehab and surgery...

 

If you do deads and dynamic rows right, they require a lot of hip activation...

 

Perhaps you just need to learn how to re-activate your hips and loosen up your hip flexors..

 

curiously, where do you train??

Hi Sir!

i train in renaissance fitness center.

I've been curious about using therabands for hip activation. Do these help?

Hi Sir!

 

Would you know an FMS and Kettle bell work out program that is sports specific? I'd like to tailor my work out to improve my football game. (soccer) I tore my ACL and despite the operation and 8 months of rehab, i cant seem to get my VMO and quad strength back. I think I need a change in program. The problem with football is that its more strength, quickness, and agility specific. Lots of fast movements and changes in direction.

 

Thanks!

 

 

Just a question.

How's your hip adbuction and external rotation?. The answer might lie there. the main muscle actions that take place at the hip when kicking a ball are internal rotation and hip flexion. This often results in poor functioning at the opposing muscle groups(external rotator and abductor groups etc). You only as strong as your weakest link. Getting propper hip function back(if that's what was lacking) could get your quad strength back in no time.

 

The FMS is not a program but a system. It's designed not to add fitness uppon disfunction in the founder of the screening his words. So do not just pick up a bell(or any other tool for that matter) and start cranking up reps. First know your limitations and work on those. We need to have exersise progressions, but also regressions if required.

 

Hope this helps,

Nico D'haenen.

Yes sir, this helps! Thank you.

A big problem for me know is a difference in size with regard to left leg (quad, vmo, itb and hamstring) compared to right. But my rehab doctor told me its normal after rehab because of atrophy. According to him that just because its not as massive, its not as strong. I finished rehab already. My problem now is im having a hard time playing because I seem to injure my good leg. Example, span of 6 months, I've pulled my calf twice, hamstring twice, and was even diagnosed for sacro illial lumbar strain. This is really because of over compensation because my brain still thinks my left leg is injured.

I do feel that my left quad and calf is weaker still thats why im trying to do both compound and isolation exercises on it.

quick question: what is your current program like??

 

can you move without any discomfort or pain if it requires sudden change of direction or lateral movement??

Hi Sir, I start out with 10 minute slow jog, then 30 minute interval training on the tread mill. i've been doing a lot of isometric exercises (single leg squats, lunges) barbell squats, deadlifts. Also been doing pull ups, , military, bench, dynamic rows, on a 5 rep, 5 set program. Also, dumb bell snatches, power cleans, leg press, hamstring curls. So yeah, not a lot of work on my hips. Just planks, hanging leg raise,s regular crunches. This is split over 3 days a week. I'm trying to find an inexpensive rocker board and wobble board. I was told that leg extensions shouldnt be done by acl victims.

the only discomfort that i feel is that when i run, or do ladder drills, my left leg doesnt feel as strong. then my left calf and quad vibrates a lot. so i assume it fatigues faster. no pain... maybe its just psychological. hehe

Thanks sir!

Of course, there is.

 

What kind of workout do you want? Is it FMS or weight lifting that people usually do?

just a question, can you play pirated games online with the xbox?

I bought an xbox back in july 2007 and it conked out on me after 18 months. Got the red ring of death. But i really like the xbox because it plays better than the ps3. I dont know, i dont know anything about the technical details but the xbox's lighting and frame movement seems smoother than ps3. Even when playing Rainbow Six vegas 2 on both consoles, xbox was a lot better for me. plus, games are so cheap.

Despite the red ring problem (which is already solved with Jasper) i plan to get another xbox 360. question is, can you play online when you play pirated games?

Hi Sir!

can you PM me details? we are planning for 2 stag parties for the coming months.

thanks
