Google and Olympics

The 2012 Summer Olympics opening was a spectacular creation documenting (others say story telling) UK's transformations to a very progressive country that it is now. It also was a showcase of UK's famous citizens who has made great contributions in film - James Bond/Daniel Craig and Mr.Bean, to literature - lines from William Shakespeare's "The Tempest" were said, and to technology and health. The lighting of the Olympic Cauldron was simply breathtaking. Truly word class.

And Google, is also into the Olympic fever too. Their webpage features Olympic games, which I find cool and fancy. Just like this.

Nice, noh? Today, it's fencing that they are featuring.

You and I Lyrics by Glee Cast – Shelby Corcoran (Idina Menzel) and Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) – from Mash Off , 6th episode, third season of Glee

It's been a long time since I came around
It's been a long time but I'm back in town
This time I'm not leaving without you

OOOoh just you and I sharing our love together
And I know in time
We'll build the dreams we treasure
We'll be all right, just u & I

Somethin, somethin about this place
Just U and, just U and I
Something 'bout lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Just u & I
Something, something about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah, something about, baby, you and I

Just u & I, Just u & I
Sharing our love together
And I know in time
And I know in time
We'll build the dreams we treasure
We'll be all right, just you and I

Somethin, somethin about this place
Just U and, just U and I
Something 'bout lonely nights
and my lipstick on your face
Just U and
Something, something about my cool Nebraska guy
U and I
Yeah, something about, baby, you and I

Oh, You and I
And I remember our first embrace
That smile that was on your face
The promises that we made
Uuuuh
And now, your love is my reward
And I love you even more
Than I ever did before

Somethin, something about this place
Just U and, just U and I
Something 'bout lonely nights
and my lipstick on your face
just U and I
Something, something about my cool Nebraska guy
You and I
Just dreams of from Nebraska
From Nebraska from Nebraska nebraska
I love You
You, U & I
U & I
Nebraska
U & I
I love you
You and I
We made it
You and I

Wordless Wednesday: The BENCH-Worn and Still

I Adore - Alexandre..Farewell

Some call it maturity, others term it mellow...It's that point in your life when you prefer a quiet environment to unwind, rather than going to clubs. This I call -ME time. And Alexandre-French Bakery Bistro and Lounge in The Fort gives me just that.

My love for Paris, and the Eiffel tower outside the cafe is reason enough to draw me inside the lounge, its' homey feel was too hard to resist...


I ordered the succulent pistachios macaroons and a croissant..

paired with a cup of my favorite coffee, in a mug that says...

Lounging in this place, is too relaxing, you could forget that you've been staying there for hours. That's why it pains me when I heard that the cafe has finally made its' curtain call and said goodbye to its' clients.

Thank you, Alexandre, for giving me a taste of Paris...

Mercato Centrale

After it's opening late last year, Mercato Centrale has now become a famous destination for foodies all over the metro.. I headed off to Mercato a day after it was launched and I keep coming back on every weekends that I could, and it never cease to impress me with its' wide spread of food and even organic stuff to suit any one's needs. It has moved into a new location, still in The Fort, just at the back of St.Lukes near MC Home Depot and S&R.

Different food stalls, so foodies and clients would have a wide array of choices.

While going around and checking out the stalls, you can sample the food products, because each food stall offer food tasting.

Tables and chairs are provided for customers to relax and dine at the same time. You can even share your table with a fellow foodie and gain friends.

Oh and this is where I got a sampling of my personal favorite-DQ Ice Cream. The day I was there was the day that they brought back their Dive Bar.

And these mochi's are sooo good :)

Mercato now has it's counterpart in the South, it's called Soderno. Check it as well.

A Day with Chico and Delamar -THE MORNING RUSH TOP TEN BOOK LAUNCH

This is quite a delayed post, as the book launched happened last February. Got tons of things to do these past months, that's why I'm only able to write about this now. Better late than Never - they say..haha.. I have always been an avid listener of these radio jocks - Chico and Delamar. They have moved to another radio station and found their "home" in RX 93.1, their voice and funny banter keep me company in my daily mornings.  Their show is called "The Morning Rush", where in the four hours that they're on board, they have a portion called The Top Ten..It's the part where listeners send in their answers to complete the statement "The Top Ten ______. The venue was filled with all the "Rushers" silent and active ones, and there was a long line of people, all of them waiting to sign their books. Here are my captured moments of the event:
