“and they live happily ever after”..

Ok, so I was watching CNET TV where Tom Merit countdowns the “Top 5 Best Digital Music Stores” and I noticed something, before showing the top spot for the countdown, he showed the “Top 5 MP3 Player”, and guess what who’s #1: Microsoft Zune! Here’s a screen shot:

I crossed out another one in my list: see the spolarium (second on the list). Yesterday, me and my officemates toured our boss from New York around here in Manila and one of the itineraries was the National Museum.

Spolarium, itself, did not disappoint me. When we entered the room, it was majestically standing at the far end. With a dimension of 4m X 7m, it was overwhelming for the naked eye. It’s darker from what I saw on the net but the it’s very intricate.

146We were, however, forbidden to take pictures which really sucked. We surrendered our cameras on the deposit counter but since I have my phone I thought I could sneak in and take some pictures from it. But alas, we were followed by one of the staff so my plan barely worked. The picture on the left was the only picture of Spolarium I got. Ugh.

Chandler to Monica:

I thought that it mattered what I said or where I said it, then I realized that the only thing that mattered is that you made me happier than I ever thought I could be. and if you let me, I will spend the rest of my life try the same way. Monica, will you marry me.

‘Nuff said.

Follow me.

McGee’s Tavern & Grill, the bar in which Maclaren’s was based

So I finally crossed one out in my list. Last night, we hang out in our very own Maclaren’s, Woodman’s Head at Burgos St., Makati. Our initial impressions were great. The place is very Maclaren’s like: a very laid back pub, no loud music (there was an acoustic performance but still not too loud), good pub grub and of course, beer. The crowd is also great, we saw very diverse people just hanging around, talking and having a great time.

The sucky part is I don’t have any picture because Emer forgot the camera, ugh. My phone was almost out of battery so I wasn’t able to use the camera also. I tried taking picture using Kiko’s phone but he download it out from his phone. The pits! But since I like the place a lot, I’ll be a mainstay there and will eventually take some pictures.

Update:

We finally managed to download the pictures from Kiko’s phone, here they are, the quality is not so good though:

… then I’ve never been so alive.

Believe me, NOBODY gets happiness right the first time.
