Craving for Kimono Ken

I am currently making a list of places that I would love to dine to when I get home in time for the Christmas holidays. And one I am craving for right now is Kimono Ken, a Japanese restaurant located at the lower ground and food court of Shangri-La Plaza Mall at Ortigas.

I love Japan and one of the reasons is all about their food. The Japanese cuisine has many types of seafood and vegetables with fresh and rich ingredients that are well balanced and healthy. That is why Japan is also known to have the longest life expectancy of any country in the world.

Here's a Chicken Cheese Rolls and Kani Salad Maki. You can get a 6-pieces Chicken Cheese Rolls for Php160, it's a deep fried breaded boneless chicken rolled with melted cheese and vegetables. And Kani Salad Maki for Php150, a combination of rice, crabstick, mango and cucumber salad.

Of course, by default we have Crispy Shake Salad for Php200 and California Maki for Php125. We always get to order this set because it's really good in the tummy.

The food taste and serving is really impressive. The place is clean and the crew are very warm. For me, it's really worth the money and that is why I have it on my list. So that's it, you know where to find me. :)

My PGT Season 3 Grand Winner

This season of Pilipinas Got Talent has really made it difficult who to pick for the Grand Winner. Unlike the first two seasons, the overwhelming charisma of the soon to be grand winners have obviously been seen since their auditions. This two are no other than Jovit Baldivino and Marcelito Pomoy.

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3 have showed us a lot more talents like contemporary dance, shadow play, gymnastics and acrobatics, aside of course, from singing. I have already picked my Top 3 Grand Finalists which was coincidental with what the Queen of All Media, Kris Aquino have said, that they (judges) have been mandated by Freemantle, to make the season "not Pilipinas Got Singing Talent but to show that we have different forms of talent".

So, I'm gonna vote.

I will have to give the 3rd place to the Lucky Twins. I don't know if its just me but they dance really well. I mean, they kinda connect to the audience in every performance they have made. I am one with FMG when he said, "I have never seen a dance presentation as beautiful as yours". Good enough to be on the third place.

Now, we're down to the remaining two, for me, it's really a tight fight between Synergy and El Gamma Penumbra. Both groups have really amazed me on this grand showdown. The only finalist the judges made a STANDING OVATION is the Synergy whom I will also agree their performance is really jaw dropping that I could also give them a standing ovation. But also, El Gamma Penumbra made a very difficult art of shadow playing. Both are world class.

Though I have seen shadow plays like The Silhouettes of America’s Got Talent, I felt a bit lacking with Synergy when they finished their routines. I wanted more.

So, my vote for Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3 Grand Winner is still El Gamma Penumbra who gave the best performances from start to end.

What about yours?? Who is your Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3 Grand Winner? The pressure is up on us, guys. The results of this Grand Finals would be based on public votes. So, vote! vote! vote!

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3 Grand Winner Results

After catching up Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3 Grand Finals via live streaming, the event that was held at Ynares Sports Center in Antipolo has been the top trending topic not only to the country, Philippines but worldwide.

Though I was only able to see a glimpse of the program, like, the part when the Synergy Dance Troupe were performing which is actually near the end. I have been handed down the results.

Of course, it's not the actual results of the talent show. But the results of the Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3 Grand Winner in Google Pilipinas.

Yep, that's me on page 1.. (heheh sumabit lang..)

They all did great for this season. We've seen a lot of talents from around the country. But there is only one who will emerge as the Grand Winner of this season's Pilipinas Got Talent and I have my own pick already.

This coming November is definitely overflowing with hotness on the big screen. Here are some of the movies I picked that would sizzle me for the month.

J. Edgar

It's not just because it stars the hunky Titanic actor, Leonardo Di Caprio but also the even hotter director Clint Eastwood. Eastwood have been recognized for both his acting and directorial skills and to name a few great films under his belt are The Bridges of Madison County, The Departed, Million Dollar Baby. Watch the J. Edgar trailer here.

Melancholia
Release Date: 11 November 2011

And finally, here comes S-E-X. (Hahah) I mean, here comes the first part of the last novel in The Twilight Saga series, the Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. We've all been waiting for this happy ever after story for Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. And yeah of course, their honeymoon scene. :) Check their official website here.

Michelle Williams is too hot to handle as she does the week for America's ultimate sex symbol and pop icon Marilyn Monroe.

Happy Feet Two

Eto po ang ilalahok kong entry sa pakontes na BOLERO PHOTO CONTEST ni Bulakbolero.

At dahil katatapos ko lang panoorin ang No Other Woman by Anne Curtis, Derek Ramsay, Cristine Reyes, eh marahil may hangover pa ko dahil ang caption ko is this:

"Ang mundo ay isang malaking PARAISO, madaming BEACHES. Magbulakbol habang bata pa at lasapin ang SARAP ng kalikasan.."

Sana suportahan nyo ang pelikulang Pilipino, ayyy este ang entry ko po pala.. :P
