Do you remember or know the U2 band? I know the U2 band. I’ve heard their songs but really can’t recall exactly their songs that’s why, it’s very fortunate of us to get tickets of this event! Watching U2 in 3D screen! Cool!

Come and let us be ONE in participating in this event. We will go to CCP to participate. Hope to see you there!

Manila - 29th March 2008

8-9pm, the entire stretch of Roxas Boulevard which spans three (3) cities will join the rest of the world for Earth Hour—an event that will create awareness on climate change and prove that people around the world working together can make a difference in the growing fight against global warming.

The Cultural Center of the Philippines’ fountain area will provide the backdrop for a countdown event where Philippine Earth Hour Ambassadors will come together with local press for a symbolic switch off.

Even SM Mall of Asia, the world’s third largest mall, will shut down their lights for Earth Hour.

Similarly, Makati City will be turning their lights off along Buendia, Kalayaan, JP Rizal and Ayala Avenue.

All around the metro, HSBC, Intel, Canon, Coke, Jollibee, Greenwhich, and Chowking will be participating in Earth Hour by turning off the lights from their billboards and signages. Earth Hour in the Philippines is an initiative of WWF-Philippines, the Presidential Task Force on Climate Change (PTFCC) and Philips. This program is fully supported by the Pasay City Government through the auspices of Hon. Atty. Wenceslao B. Trinidad, City Government of Manila through Hon. Alfredo S. Lim, City Government of Paranaque through Hon. Florencio M. Bernabe, Jr., City Government of Makati through Mayor Jejomar C. Binay.

The Earth Hour (Metro) Manila team is working hard to encourage the rest of the metro to pitch in and switch off their lights. To find out more about Earth Hour and how you can help, please email tsantiago@wwf.org.ph

Brief Background:

Earth Hour 2008

Created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming.

About Earth Hour

On March 31 2007, for one hour, Sydney made a powerful statement about the greatest contributor to global warming – coal-fired electricity – by turning off its lights. Over 2.2 million Sydney residents and over 2,100 businesses switched off, leading to a 10.2% energy reduction across the city. What began as one city taking a stand against global warming caught the attention of the world.

In 2008, 24 global cities will participate in Earth Hour at 8pm on March 29. Earth Hour is the highlight of a major campaign to encourage businesses, communities and individuals to take the simple steps needed to cut their emissions on an ongoing basis. It is about simple changes that will collectively make a difference – from businesses turning off their lights when their offices are empty, to households turning off appliances rather than leaving them on standby.

Wondering where are the 5 KK store? Let me share it with you.

Flagship store: Bonifacio High Street, Bonifacio, Global City, Taguig City

2nd branch: Upper Ground, SM Megamall B

3rd branch: Greenhills Shopping Center, San Juan,

4th branch: Cinema Level, TriNoma, Quezon City

5th branch: Mall of Asia , Main Mall, Ground floor, Pasay City

I’m sure a lot of our fellow Filipinos have lined up to get their hands in winning a supply of Original Glazed doughnuts. If you’re not familiar with Krispy Kreme’s incentives, here they are…

1st customer gets ONE-(1) year supply (one dozen per week)

2nd customer gets SIX-(6) months supply (one dozen per week)

3rd customer gets THREE-(3) months supply (one dozen per week)

4th to 300th customer gets ONE-(1) months supply (one dozen per week)

Wow! That’s a lot huh! Think about the calories they’ve accumulated after a month, not to mention the person who’ll get a one year supply of doughnuts! Anyway, that person should at least visit Krispy Kreme branch at JAKA bldg. along Ayala Ave. so he can also have coffee (the perfect partner for KK doughnut!).

Coffee variations: Mild & Mellow (soft&sweet with a delicate flavor from start to finish) AND Full-flavored (a decaf coffee that doesn’t sacrifice the taste-the only thing missing is the jitters!)

I would’ve love the Mild&Mellow coffee on my rare cravings of coffee and dip the doughnuts (or any bread) into it. Yummy!

I was searching for more information on this book and I saw this review of Pixiepalace last Aug 2005.

“This is a cute little book about the Sanrio character Hello Kitty. She decides to spend a day with her father and he teaches her how to play baseball. The pictures are simple and colourful, as most Sanrio art is. The story is simple, but very sweet. I liked that the writing was simple and clear, as uncomplicated as the illustrations.” - Pixiepalace

Simple book that made me wish I’ve spent a day with my Dad doing anything we fancy.  But no, we were too busy living our own lives earning moolah that we forgot to simply appreciate each other.  I hope I still get a chance to do that when they come home.  Yes, it is never too late though.   I would also love to be with my mom which we haven’t gone shopping for a loooong time!

Won’t you love to read or buy this? This cute Hello Kitty book that can be found in Fully Booked, Bonifacio High Street in Fort Bonifacio. Priced at around P340 ($9). Includes cool stickers.

This just got IN…

Tips for an Awesome World Pyro Experience

This was my first time to set foot in this homey place called Balai Indang. It was my HubbyBubbly and AD’s second time, the first trip was during the time my HubbyBubbly was looking for a reception location for his brother’s wedding. I was pregnant that time and didn’t want to go there anymore at night.

Anyway, I’ve already visited Balai Indang and here’s what I will share with you…the food served during our overnight stay. Dishes that made me go on second, third and nth servings.

LUNCH

This was where it all started…we went to their farm (separate from Balai Indang)…and saw these beds of lettuce…they are hydrophonic plants wherein the lettuce are grown in an aerial liquid to supply nutrients needed for the lettuce’s growth. Yes, we had those lettuce on our salad. Healthy! Do you see those peaches?

I thought I’m over cream based dishes only to discover that I’m still gaga over it. This fish fillet topped with creamy sauce made me drool. The fish was tender and was easily chewed by AD. Very tasty. The bottom portion was mashed potatoes. It was also good. This can already be a meal by itself but no, I just had to eat the other dishes on the table. That was how hungry I was!

Protein Packed Meal. Roast Chicken with Ground Pork, Carrots and Raisins. Love eating the freshly taken out of the oven chicken. Dark meat for me please. Never a dull moment, it just got better. Juicy!

DINNER

For dinner, we had the fresh mushroom soup and it was superb! I always have a soft spot for mushroom soup! When we were in our teen years, we usually have a mushroom soup to go with our meal. I love Campbell’s cream of mushroom! And I was glad to have a second serving of this creamy, tasty mushroom soup.

There’s crabmeat inside the Crab Fuyong! Yehey! I thought it would just have a faint, faint taste of the crab but I was wrong. The crabmeat was not too much but at least, I knew it was a crab fuyong. I’d love to make this at home and would definitely add more crabmeat in it. Did I tell you that I also love seafoods? Who doesn’t (except for those who have allergy to it) seafoods?! It is the most coveted dish in every buffet event.

For dinner, we had spareribs! No bones left. Need I say more?

Hamburger patties with herbs. Great with the wasabi sauce. I’m sooo full!

Homemade Suman. Eat it while it is warm. No need to add sugar because it is already sweet by itself. There’s even a treat for you when you bite on it…it’s chocolate! Double yummy! AD definitely loved this and bye bye with our plan to sleep early. AD slept at 10pm. It was late already considering that he woke up earlier than his usual wake up time and no afternoon nap.

BREAKFAST

This was what we had for breakfast aside from the usual, danggit and chicken/ pork adobo. Actually, I was expecting a longganiza breakfast. Oh well, better luck next time.

That was the pesto roll as Ate Marge would call it. I lurv it to the max! Wish I’d gotten the exact recipe of it (will do and share it with you but will have to ask permission first!). The roll was with pesto sauce and cheese. To add texture unto the roll, there were cracker bits on top. At first glance, I wasn’t sure if I’d love this but as I munched on it, I just can’t stop my hands from getting one roll after another until we had to ask for more pesto roll.

Phew! And that was it, 5lbs heavier on the hips! Hungrier than ever? Sorry about that. It was meant to be that way. I, too, got hungry again and craving for that pesto roll!

FYI: The food prepared for the guests are food that Ate Marge loves to serve her family and friends. She loves to eat out and tries to copy the food she loves. So, definitely the dishes are simply tried and tested.

They do entertain day trip to those who are interested.  Minimum 3 persons.  P500 for lunch.  P600 for dinner. P50 for merienda.

Stay tuned for more Balai Indang post!

Oh, by the way, here’s my HubbyBubbly’s previous post on Balai Indang…The food indeed improved from the looks of it…
