ganun pala sa IMAX

yesterday i had the chance to watch the premiere of Monsters vs. Aliens at the IMAX theater. thanks to Yehey who gave us tickets for this event for free.

i went off early from the office to catch the cocktails before the movie screening. i was with sire, leira, montsch and aeirin acosta, earth, jenn and jeff aspacio, az, sarah, joriben, chris and trix. those who haven't got into my list, dko pa kasi kayo kilala masyado. hehe... basta event kayang isacrifice ang trabaho. lol

so back to the IMAX experience, upon entrance, kelangan talagang isurrender ang mga camera phones at iba pang devices na pwedeng mag-capture ng images inside the cinema. para iwas pirata na rin. and you will also be given a pair of 3D glasses para lalo mong ma-appreciate ang movie in 3D.

maganda ang loob pero 2 lang ang aisles, yung nasa gilid lang. so kapag pupunta ka sa upuan mo e marami kang madadaanan bago ka makarating. be sure to pee before the show to avoid hassle.

the chairs are soft and cozy. kahit gustuhin mong maglean pa e komportable ka pa rin dahil may space pa para sa tao sa likod mo na mag-unat-unat.

when the movie started, ibang dimension talaga! pero kung medyo malapit ka sa screen, sasakit mata mo. halos maluha talaga ako hindi dahil sa kakatawa sa movie pero sa sobrang lapit ko sa screen. but everything is fine and i enjoyed the movie.

Fish & Bloggers World Tour

NO MEAT should be served on the table during the Lenten Season. it only applies for us Catholics. and fish is a good meat substitute. the Philippines already has more than 101 ways of cooking fish due to it's archipelago structure. but how would you like to taste a new type of serving of a common recipe? try something from overseas, let's say. a simple fish-fillet dish from Malaysia, India, Philadelphia, and Japan. a simple dish is different from other countries. and Fish & Co with Yehey had let us to deliver their Fish and Chips in a variety from the four countries i've mentioned

Fish & Co. is the home of the world-famous Fish and Chips. and as global as the brand name is, their Fish and Chips menu also went around the world! you can differentiate the average Fish and Chips from the Fish and Chips Around the World Platter because it contains the taste that will take the four countries to your mouth.

and as to give that experience, bloggers have been invited to "Prep Up" the platter according to the countries they have been assigned to. and as Yehey have been fond of challenges, once again, a race challenge to shop, chop and decorate the platter of
their assigned country. from the start, bloggers wore sash representing the country they belong and running towards the grocery like pageant contestants in a challenge.

for India, the inspiration came from the Hindu god, Vishnu, which is the god of sustenance, life existence and balance. a yellow flower made from lemon rind is placed on top of the fish fillets as an offering to Vishnu and to maintain balance for everything. Indian dishes are known for having a lot of dips and sidings.

Vishnu Fish Delight

when the contest is over, great presentations are made by bloggers and Philadelphia team won. the plating is filled with cheese and as mouth-watering as it looks.

it's been one week

lucky are we who are born in your generation,
lucky are we who enjoyed your presence.
lucky are they who had a father like you,
lucky is she to have you as her spouse.
you are a treasure, a talent, a piece of gold,
but your glitter shines endless like a diamond.
we mourn for your loss, and more hope has just began.
after the darkness, morning comes brightly like three stars and a sun.

-isang pinilit na poetry. FM (1964-2009), we'll miss you. your legacy lives on.
