Hooters Manila coming soon at the Fort! It will be open to the public on February 2008! I am not that excited like Anton…but i do love their chicken wings! :)

“Hooters characterizes itself as a neighborhood place, not a family restaurant. Seventy percent of all customers are male, most between the ages of 25-54. Hooters does not market itself to families. However, Hooters has a kid’s menu, and often gives out balloons to toddler visitors; indeed in Australia, Hooters promotes itself as having a “fun family atmosphere” and “Kids Eat Free Tuesday” on its radio advertisements.”

Are they going to the same here in Manila?

The Ruins in Talisay City

The Ruins in Talisay City

“The structure of The Ruins is of Italianate achitecture with neo-Romanesque columns, having a very close semblance to the facade of Carnegie Hall in New York City. In New England, they often were homes to ship’s captians. A belvedere, facing west, affords a beautiful view of the sunset in a glassed-in sunroom with bay windows.

The mansion was built in the early 1900’s by the sugar baron, Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson (1865-1948) and was home to his unmarried children with his first wife, Maria Braga Lacson (+1911), a Portuguese from Macau. The mansion was the largest residential structure ever built at that time and had in it one of the finest furnitures, chinawares, and decorative items, as the father of the Maria Braga was a captain of a ship that sailed across Europe and Asia and would cart with him these items. One of their daughters maintained a beautiful garden of lilies in and around the 4-tiered fountain fronting the mansion, all brought in from abroad.

One of the sons supervised the construction of th mansion making certain that the A-grade mixture of concrete and its pouring was presisely followed.

The mansion met its sad fate in the early part of World War II (1942) when the USAFFE (United States Armed Forces in the Far East), then the guerilla fighters in the Philippines, burnt the mansion to prevent the Japanese forces from utilizing it as their headquarters. It took days of inferno to bring down the roof and the two-inch wooden floors.

To this day, the 903 square meter structure still stands tall amidst sugar plantation and continues to awe both local and foreign tourists. Truly, a picture-perfect backdrop and a magnificent sight to see.”

Threadless Back to School $10 Sale

by Birks on August 29, 2007 in Personal, Web Links

Threadless Back to School $10 Sale Threadless T-shirts are on sale again!

Everything on sale from $10 until Monday, September 3rd. So go and buy your shirts now before they run out of stocks of your favorite designs! :) I still have a $5 coupon from my last purchase so I think I’ll be using that for my next purchase. So far my 2 Threadless shirts have not deformed in any way after a few washings. I’m not sure if they shrunk either. If it did, I didn’t notice it coz it still fits the same for me as when I first wore it. I’ve worn them a couple of times already and they’re really nice and comfy. I’m one happy Threadless customer. Hehe. You can be one too. ;)
