The Pinoy Byahero

Every Airplane ride can be considered an experience but moreso if you take a first class airline like Singapore Airlines. After a few minutes of take off we were given hot towellettes for freshening up. And afterwards, your choice of juice. The steward also gave out menu booklets so we would know what they will be serving for breakfast. Headsets were also provided. I had a hard time what movie to choose as there was over a hundred to choose from. I ended up with Robert Downey's Sherlock Holmes. For breakfast there were 2 choices, first was corned beef hash with garlic rice and egg and the other one scrambled egg with chopped herb, grilled chicken sausage, sauteed mushrooms and hash brown potatoes. Plus bread and drinks of your choice. corned beef hash with garlic rice and egg scrambled egg with chopped herb, grilled chicken sausage, sauteed mushrooms and hash brown potatoes I wasn't able to finish the movie and they already announced that it will be landing soon!

We had a Hiccup at Check In at the SIA Counter. The Photocopy of the CC my sister used in purchasing my ticket to Singapore was not accepted. They want the actual credit card (huwat?) which is impossible as my sister is already in Singapore (she changed her sched and went 4 days eralier than us). Anyway, after some explaining, confirming with their manager, they finally agreed that I just present an alternate Credit Card (my credit card). They swiped my Card for $237 but it will not be processed until the CC Holder who bought the ticket denies the purchase. So word of advice to those who will be buying tickets for others, do not buy tickets for other people unless you will be on the same flight as them. Or if you really want to buy a ticket for them be prepared to part with your credit card for the duration of their trip. Btw, check in at the regular counters was super long.Good thing I did an Internet Check In. Nobody was at the Internet Check In. Right now,I am in t...

Had a Sansrival Yoghurt Grit at Pancake House this morning. It was delicious!! I had it before my Steak Breakfast. By the time I had already finished the Yoghurt, I felt my tummy rumbling a but??!! My tummy does not usually react with Yoghurt, so I really do not know what caused it, could it have been the nuts??!! the Caramel syrup?? or the sansrival wafer?? Anyway, I will definitely try their Yoghurt again next time.

It will be another relaxing thursday for me. We will be going to Singapore for the weekend! And what is more exciting is that we will be taking Singapore Airlines this time! Time just flys by whenever I take Singapore Airlines to Singapore. Their Entertainment System is just Top Notch, so many Movies to choose from. Aside from flying with Singapore Airlines, I will be able to use the Lounge again! So no need to eat breakfast anywhere!!

Notre Dame Cathedral The Musee D'Orsay La Defense Eiffel Tower I have been given the privilege to visit France for 2x. The first was in 1998 and the second in 1999. On both occasions I was alone by myself. The first trip in 1998 was for 2 weeks while the one in 1999 was for 3 months! I studied the French Language and lived with a French Family at the 15th Arrondisement. It was an experience I will never forget. I visited almost all the notable places in Paris, the Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, La Defense, Notre Dame Cathedral, Sacre Coeur, and more. Aside from Paris, I also went to Versailles, Aix-En-Provence, Marseilles, Nice, Eze and to the tiny Principality of Monaco (which I will feature seperately). I think the digital camera was not yet invented at that time, or if there was, it was probably too exepensive. Anyway, I hope someday, that I will go back to France. There are still so many places that I want to visit and re visit again.

Had lunch at Happy Delicious Kitchen today. This is a Fast Food style Restaurant in Binondo. You choose from already cooked foods. We availed of the 130Peso Special. This is 1 Main dish and 2 side dishes plus a cup of rice. Food is nice, fresh tasting. The 130 Peso Special is worth it. Next time, will try their other dishes.

Just came from Bulawan Restaurant. Food as usual was the best. This time we tried the beef kaldereta, it had a note beside it which said "subukan niyo" so we ordered it. We also ordered pritong dalag, chili garlic shrimp, inihaw na talong and a pitcher of buko juice to gulp all the food down. I was supposed to order the Lapu-Lapu with Leeks and Ginger but the Waiter advised us that it will take some time and that the LapuLapu was frozen. The beef kaldereta was a surprise, it was delicious! It even had Olives, something which you wont see usually in Kaldereta served in Restaurants. The added cheese to the kaldereta also added some kick. Yum Yum!
