American Idol

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

I haven’t had the time to watch TV nowadays, although the TV is open most of the time in the office.  The other group recently lent us a Samsung LCD TV for HD test, neat (I wanna get one for my room!)!  Life at work is overly busy the past few weeks.  And when I get home, the last thing I want to do is stare at the boob tube.  That’s why I terribly miss watching American Idol.  The preliminary/road trip was funny when I caught it 2 months ago (?) on Star World (midnight rerun).  But I haven’t actually watched a single episode this season!  Too bad, when channel affiliates talk about it, I’m so behind all the juice!

Anyhow, I should be inspired to watch again since Adel, the Chick Chik recently sent me an American Idol water glass.  When I first opened the box, I initially thought it was a microphone (because it looked like a packaging for a mic).  Haha, upon closer inspection, it was actually a glass with a microphone design.

Well, even if this entry is short, I’m glad I was able to take a break and write.  It’s already 6:30 pm and I still have one contract to finish so I’m hitting the breaks…. Screech —–ciao!

Gotta Love Bubba Gump

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Before the Game Plan Premiere of Star World and Sky Cable at Greenbelt 3 Cinema 2, we headed to Bubba Gump for a seafood-oriented dinner. Bubba Gump has always been one of my favorite family restaurants, which is inspired by the movie that starred Academy award winner Tom Hanks. The movie hits a soft spot because my sister Joyce is a special child. I treat her like a regular kid because I think sometimes she is smarter than me, but I also can’t help but spoil her sometimes. She is such a bundle of joy to anyone who is lucky enough to endear himself to Joyce.

Dragging my mom, Joyce, Joanne and Chris (I have to use Chris on this entry as to not confuse the restaurant to my term of endearment for him) to Bubba Gump, I was so excited to sink my mouth to those famous shrimps (of course dinner courtesy of my dear mother! Thanks mom!)!

Run Across America Sampler PHP 530

Bubba’s far out dips and chips, chilly shrimp, spicy chicken strips, hush pups, and mama blues fried shrimps. An all out starter to any Bubba Gump meal. It has the best of the appetizers where cold shrimp with tomato matches perfectly with the fried butter-flavored crab balls and shrimp balls. The nachos and artichoke-cheese dip are yummy too!!!

The Ultimate Combo PHP 675

Flat iron steak and grilled skewered shrimp with coleslaw and mashed potatoes. I never fail to order this whenever I’m at this restaurant. The 2 lb flat iron steak is juicy and lean and it complements perfectly with the grilled shrimps. I love the smoky grilled taste of the skewered shrimps, which I usually drizzle with lemon pulp to bring out the flavor.
