We were supposed to go to Som's but was unlucky to see they were closed the day before their grand opening (still at the same place, Algier st. Makati). We ended up going back and forth in Rockwell looking for a place to eat. I wanted to have a hotdog or a sandwich by Johann and Choking stopped at Milky Way and had their eyes fixed on the dinuguan and the salmon sinigang.
Which is what we ordered. We had the Salmon Sinigang (180 PHP) per Choking's request. The soup was not as "maasim" as I expected it but you can really taste the fish essence in the soup. The salmon was firm but has a really soft texture once eaten.
We also had the Dinuguan (90 PHP) since Johann was craving for it. It was ok for us but thinks that they can add a little bit more vinegar to make it more flavorful. The serving was just right.
I insisted that we get the Pork Spareribs (180 PHP) as well. This I really loved and is one reason for me to go back to Milky Way. The pork was really tender and the sauce had this nice barbecue flavor in it.
Instead of rice, I got the Bacon Potato Salad (90 PHP). I liked this also since it doesn't have much of the stuff that I don't eat in potato salad. It was seasoned just right as well.
When in Rockwell, this is one place I would consider going back to.
I was hesitant at first to watch this movie since I was like the Antichrist of Valentines day (the day) since high school. Surprisingly this is a feel good movie and not quite cheesy as I expected. Whether you're single or not, I would still recommend it.
Watch out for Taylor Swift's dance routine.
Before leaving Davao City, we headed to Outland to try the longest and fastest zip line in Asia. When we got there, the crew is still in the Pacqiuao vs Cotto high but still entertained us even if they still really wanted to hear the updates in the live telecast.
It costs 300 PHP for the zipline in whatever position you wanted: sitting, superman, inverse or tandem. I went for the superman since it seems excited and I just wanted to do something adventurous. They suited me and Sans for the superman and Shai and Tom opted for the sitting position. My college friend Mil just stayed since she will take some of our pictures.
At first I thought it would just be a really short hike up the hill. We first crossed a small stream using a raft and a rope to get us to the other side. As we were crossing, the best thing happened...it rained. The hike up the hill became really difficult since it was slippery and I tried to make sure that I can keep up. It felt rewarding to get to the top though because of the difficulty of the hike that time. Thanks to Arjay Bernabe and his friends, we had a picture at the top while waiting for the rain to subside a bit to go on the zipline.
They made me go first since my friends thought I'm the toughest...or so they thought. When I got on and started zipping, the feeling of the wind in my face was just amazing and I admired the view as well since I saw I crossed the stream also. It was all worth it. I saw they were getting ready with their camera at the bottom so what else do I do? Project!
If only we didn't have a flight to catch I would have wanted another go and it's for a cheaper price.

Oh you can also purchase your pictures. If you get 3 pictures printed out, they can save your 5 pictures in a flash drive.
I never thought I could do it but I did. I thought it will be just painful like have your soul ripped out as well. OK that's really exaggerated to describe a waxing experience. Since I'm getting ready for a beach trip soon and wanted to be able to wear a decent swimsuit this time, plus the fact that I get annoyed with what's sticking in my pad...well, I went for it and dared to go Brazilian.
A lot of girls I know have been raving about Lay Bare. Since the use cold honey wax instead of the hot wax or strips, its not as painful. Although that still depends on the one's tolerance for pain.
I went to their Libis branch and was greeted and entertained right away by the receptionist. They asked me if I wanted to go to the restroom first and since it's my first time, I thought it really helped to ease the pain a bit. I was quite surprised it was not as painful as expected but I had to request my waxer that I needed to breathe at times.
The price was reasonable as well and I highly recommend Lay bare for all your waxing needs. You may visit their site for more information: http://www.lay-bare.com/laybare-ui/
