Filling and tasty, with unli rice, a hefty serving of a Chopstop breaded pork or chicken is a meal that is so totally worth it. You get the full value for your money.
Chopstop orders arrive fast, like in 5 minutes, and the max waiting time is 10 minutes. This is the waiting time for the meals.
The desserts like these on the mug take a bit longer, like 12 minutes. These are very nice and large, and the presentation is terrific. The heated brownie with ice cream is a delight while the other is so comfortingly good. The brownie is on the sweet side, as expected in a dessert, to satisfy the cravings.
I went to SM BF with the intention of satisfying my potato cravings. I was with my daughter, and she said that the food was good at ChopStop as she has tried the breaded pork with the Jack Daniel's sauce. I ordered fries and what happened was that I was so overloaded with the meal, with an extra rice, that I couldn't finish the fries and the dessert. This indicated that I was really full, in Tagalog - ang pagkain sa ChopStop ay nakakabusog.
"Chopstop is the new trendy destination for enjoying chops, chomps, chows, and chugs. It is the place to taste the best chops in town: golden-breaded pork and chicken chops slathered with our lip-smacking BBQ, gravy, chili or Jack Daniel's sauce. We also offer comfort chows like Bacon Cracklings, Nachos and Glazed Chicken.Accompany our dishes with a wide array of chugs which include milkshakes and unlimited margaritas. And don’t forget to try our mug cakes before you head out."

“4 out of 10 Filipinos have savings, but 7 out of the
10 who have savings keep their savings at home. Only 20.8% of those
surveyed who are aware of life insurance actually have Life insurance”
Makati City, Feb. 23, 2017: Sense for Money
(SFM), officially launched the Praxis Café – a game café devoted to
improving the financial awareness of all who come and play Praxis. Prior
to this launch, Praxis could only be played through Sense For Money’s
corporate partners. “We felt the need to provide a direct avenue to
consumers who aren’t reached by our corporate clients."said Mari-an
Albert, SFM Philippines CEO. “We at SFM strongly feel that financial
literacy is a life skill that empowers and changes people’s lives -
that’s why we encourage everyone to play whenever and wherever they can,
whether at the Café or through our corporate partners. Regardless of
where you play, players will experience a wide variety of gameplays.”
Through the magic of play, Praxis makes complex financial concepts clear and easy to understand. Praxis® gameplays
engage players through a simulation of their financial lives. Since
2003, over half a million adults and children over eight countries have
benefited from playing Praxis. It’s been used by teachers as an
alternative learning activity, by families to start a conversation about
the value of money and by businesses for employee wellness and to
deepen customer relationships.
Sense for Money was established by a group of mad but
passionate experts in gameplay design and financial services. Its
headquarters are in Singapore and it has a presence in over eight
different countries including the Philippines.

elated by his boot camp experience. “I’m really thankful and honored to
be part of JU batch 4. The hands-on training, coaching tips and
mentorship by the esteemed chefs gave me and the others a huge

Ericsson believes that connectivity can make positive socio-economic and environmental impacts around the world.
The technology challenges Ericsson Research have been focusing on in the last few years are:
-data analytics in operation support systems
-intelligent decision support
-mission-critical cloud and the internet of things in the context of network operation centers
THE CONNECTED MEGA-CITY
An important aspect of Ericsson's research is looking into what these new technologies mean for
people and societies, hence The Connected Megacity.
Overview: (material from Ericsson)
"Today, we see a transformation in the way people
live and congregate around the world; more and more people are becoming
city dwellers and projections indicate that from 50% today, they will be
70% by 2050. A considerable share of the population
will mostly form part of very large urban areas - the so-called mega
cities.
ICT solutions and the Networked Society are
important components when finding holistic and balanced views to city
life management. There is a need for new urban models to tackle social,
economic and environmental challenges in sustainable
ways.
In all this, we, the citizens are central, and not only because it is
our quality of life that is hanging in the balance but also because we
can contribute with information and innovation as well as help support
the city by changing/adapting our behavior.
With focus on technology enablers, hereby gives a
glimpse of the Connected Megacity, by going through three city
scenarios, namely the Safe City, the Creative City and the Greener City.
The Resilient/Safe City.
One important aspect of such a city is its ability to respond to an
unexpected event in a
resilient way. Road accidents for instance, unfortunately can and will
happen despite everybody’s best intentions. What’s important, apart from
minimal casualties, is their impact on the city operations and its
citizens and how quickly the latter can return
to normal operations. From a technical point of view, we believe that
through analyzing and combining data feeds and situational knowledge,
patterns of behavior can be identified. These can then be encapsulated
together with expert knowledge to lead to informed
actions and intelligent recommendations. This way, available resources
(public services, people, sensors, devices, etc.) can be used in an
effective way to understand and mitigate the situation; something that
requires interoperability and cross-domain communication.
The Creative/Proactive City scenario
highlights how the connected city can learn from previous experiences
and take proactive measures
before an event. This is of course done through a combination of
technical enablers, but also with the support of the citizens through
various incentives and mechanisms for raising their awareness. If, for
example a rock concert or another major event is scheduled
to happen in the coming days, city operations can be based on analyses
of previous similar events It may be decided to increase the public
transportation, allocate more police resources and give people
motivation to behave in ways that enable the event to
flow more smoothly. City operations can also increase the network
capacity around the event arena, give people recommendations to offers
and promotions or increase their physical event experience through
digital services in different ways.
The Greener City,
which we find it to be one step closer to the vision of sustainable
cities, illustrates how energy use and load can
be predicted, for example, based on weather forecasts. This enables the
city, its citizens and industries to adapt their behavior and
reschedule production and consumption to avoid serious power shortages.
The smart grid is one domain where the Internet of Things is gaining
momentum and the use of wireless technologies is well suited to
providing last-mile connectivity to grid devices. The capabilities of
LTE, such as very low latency, Quality-of-Service and
high throughput wrapped in a future-proof global standard, are opening
up new areas for applications in mission critical M2M communications.
However, M2M traffic characteristics differ greatly from smart phone
traffic. Therefore, it is important to understand
how to take advantage of the advanced features of LTE in order to
optimize the network for specific applications like the smart grid.
By means of these three
scenarios, Ericsson hopes to have exemplified how megacities can respond to
some of the events as they occur and prepare for future scenarios, while
taking into account the relationships between diverse
stakeholders. All linked with how these responses can be aligned with a
more sustainable development."
*Blogger's note: The Philippine Telecoms Summit 2017 targeted solutions that we need for a better future. The Ericsson demo shows that that a well planned city can surely help us proper, and it is a must to take a closer look about how our cities develop, not just for telecommunications, but for all needs, such as road, facilities, and more. As we look forward to a bright future, we should take action, and plan properly.

Protect your eyes and wear large shades, so chill with lovely designs to choose from. These Bolon Eyewear 2017 are trendy, yet still adhere to the classic look.
These are available at Eyelink Optical, located at the 2nd floor, Pergola Mall, BF Homes, Paranaque.
You Need Shades
Did you know that UV light can damage your eyes? Spending time in the sun can be the cause of eye health concerns such as retinal damage, cataracts, and thicken the eye tissue. Wearing shades help protect your eyes from those searing ultraviolet rays.
To reduce glare and prevent dust and other minute particles from entering the eyes, large shares are recommended, and the good news is, as you will squint less on a sunny day by wearing shades will help to keep those fine wrinkles at the side of the eyes from developing or getting more prominent!
My Style, My Bolon
Sophisticated, these stylish eyewear provide the protection your eyes
need with the right look. Lightweight, with great lens quality, handles
that are so unobtrusive, wearing a pair makes the nose appear sharper
and are perfect for those perfect eyebrows. Shades also serve to cover up the eyes, making you look more mysterious, and to cover those dark circles and eyebags after sleepless nights or crying bouts.
For hot summers and for anytime of the year, wear shade that serve a purpose to protect our eyes, and make sure these are the right kind. The large ones that wrap around our face, lay flat and near our eyes, and have quality lenses are the ones do work to protect our eyes, just like these Bolon shades.
Spending a few hours at the Gardenia booth at the Bakery Fair 2017 was a
fun, learning, and bread heaven experience, as it was such a comfort
zone. I love Gardenia bread, and was delighted to be able to try the
different kinds and would like to share the more affordable option in a review of a
Gardenia product in this blog post.
Gardenia Sandwish Maker Mania Game
"Hover your hands to control the pieces to make a sandwich." Such a high tech game, one that required alertness and speed. At first, I struggled to make my hands move in the air to contol what was shown on the TV, such as a piece of bread and a slice of cheese. It took me a few seconds and I was able to get to the next level. This game was such a tech treat!
No Cook, No Bake Demo
There was one demo that I was able to
watch, and the chef made the snack in a jiff. Such sophisticated food
treats, no cook, no bake, and so easy, even a child can make it.
Mouthwatering, dainty, and these tasted wonderful.
Gardenia Super Slice New Bake
When I took a closer look at New Bake, a sliced loaf bread, while I was at a grocery, it was a much awaited surprise to learn that it was a Gardenia product. It cost less than the Classic Gardenia bread, and I have been buying New Bake especially when I have a lot of people to feed. That New Bake has the standard loaf size.
During the Bakery Fair, I was able to get samples of the Super Slice New Bake, which is larger than a standard loaf slice.
In this comparative product review, on the left is the Classic and on
the right is the Super Slice New Bake. The Classic is firmer and is more
dense than the Super Slice. The Classic has more depth of bread flavor,
to include that of the crust. New Bake bread is light, and has a hint
of sweetness, and the crust is a lot softer than that of the Classic.
The size of the Super New Bake is larger, and is ideal for making big
sandwiches with spreads, while the Classic is perfect for
processed food such as deli ham.
More Gardenia
Gardenia Philippineshas a bevy of products, providing us with fancy bread that is like pastries. The flavored ones that I usually buy, such as the Black Forest and the Cranberry, are great for a quick and filling snack, and are perfect for that fast, no hassle breakfast.
There are so many Gardenia Philippines bread products such as this Strawberry and Blueberry flavored loaf.
Gardenia Philippines makes bread that are innovative, high quality, and
have product excellence. These are healthy, and simplifies what you
eats, taking the hassle out of sandwich preparations, saving money as
there is no need to buy spreads when choosing a flavored load. The
Classic and the New Bake bread provides us with the quality and the
budget affordability.
Note: When buying Pinoy Pandesal and the Pinoy Loaf, make sure to read the label to make sure that is is Gardenia, as the other brands have packaging that look exactly like what Gardenia uses.
FreelancingPH coworks at The Common Space at Pergola Mall, BF Homes for the Coffee Break Live South meet up last Feb. 25, 2017. The event started at around 2 pm and ended past 5, though the seminar was already done, the freelancers continued to socialize, with coffee and pizza.
Connecting Freelancers
As an online worker, it is good to be part of a community and attend such events such as the Coffee Break Live South meet up that I went to. The FreelancingPH seminar provided lots of helpful information that comes from the shared experiences of people who do make money online. The tips included that of asserting oneself, knowing what your value id, and not accepting work that was lower that your rate, and to request for a down payment before tackling the task.
Freelancers do have many concerns, and being ripped off online has happened to me, and getting clients that did not pay fairly. By listening to the seminar, I had learned vital tips, strategies, and skills, and even discovered where there are more online jobs to be found.
Talking over Coffee
The vibe was that of relaxed work mode. The topics that were discussed revealed insights that are needed.
The continuous talks, the group discussions, and social interaction, was fine, providing a freelance like me the much desired social interaction, for as we know, that to work online is a solitary task, and this need to see and be with other people is solved by going to such meet ups and holding office in a coworking space such as The Common Space.
Wearing blue, the owner of LiveStreamingPH
Off Virtual
Being a freelancer can be lonely, and having experienced hardly leaving the house, since I am a WHAM (Work at Home Mom), even dressing up to go somewhere to meet with people that also make money online, brings about a great feeling of being offline, still working, learning, and also placing input to share. Now that I have attended a Coffee Break Live meet up and do hold office to a coworking space, I do have a better social life with independent professionals like me, and it does increase my productivity.
If you want to be part of a great community, and be part next freelancers meet up, get updates and like the FreelancingPH Facebook page.
If you are looking for a coworking space in Paranaque, there is one at Pergola Mall in BF Homes. For information, visit the website of The Common Space.
Massive Munchies, owned by Tad Angara and Kirk Teves, is a dude's dream food come true. It wards away hunger in a way that is incomparable, because there is nothing like it. It is bread with breadcrumbs, has that pizza crust crunch, has that carb fix with the crispy fried taste, and the fillings? An overflowing heap, loaded and sealed, handy and yummy - this is what a man dreams of to be their "sandwich mate". It is awesome, providing the total impact for a starving man, large enough to be satisfying, loaded with filling.
These are called "Pocket Pies" and are made with tinapay, and in such a creative, unique way to make the bread become the layered pie crust. Deep fried, it is not oily at all, and with every bite, solid to the max, making it deserve the name, Massive Munchies.
Massive Munchies has 4 branches, to include the newly opened one at Quiapo, at F.R. Hidalgo St, near Manuel L. Quezon Univeristy. Currently, there are 4 kinds of pocket pies to choose from at this branch, and their established branches at Dumagete has more to choose from.
Frozen and Reheated to Feed Massive Munchies Monsters
I asked Tad if it was possible to store these, as I do live quite far from Quiapo. He said for me to keep it in the freezer and reheat in the oven toaster or microwave. I used cling wrap to individually wrap each one so I could still see the paper wrapper that indicates the filling. The colored dots on these pies as you can see, do indicate the flavor, also.
I recently had a dude drop by the house, and when I reheated one he tried it, he said with great gusto, "Tita, ang sarap!". My entire family loves these, and it does freeze very well and takes only a few minutes to reheat.
Buy enough when you go to Quiapo and freeze when you get home, as when you need food and have feed peeps, the easiest way to do so it to feed them with Massive Munchies.
