Favorite Thai Soup " tomyan"

THAI SOUP "TOMYAN"


The first time I eat “TOMYAN” was in Bangkok Thailand. The taste is sweet, hot and it’s simply irresistible. This month me and Zen were able to eat at Chic and Fab at Crossroads Banilad, twice and always with “Tomyan” in our order. It’s seems like im addicted to “Tomyan” now and to some other Thai, Korean, and Japanese foods. Food with lots of spicies on it is simply the best to me. By the way Chic and Fab is a new discovery for us. You might want to give it a try and taste it yourself. So delicious!!

Bohol Beach Club Escapade

Last Saturday me and my friend decided to go to Bohol Beach Club. I've heard of this resort before but I never get the chance to visit the place.
It's Saturday morning when we decided to make a totally unplanned trip to Bohol, we were such in a hurry that time to get to the pier if we can possibly catch an early afternoon trip since we cannot stay longer therefore we need to make use whatever time we had.
Luckily we were able to catch up the 1:45 afternoon trip of Weesam fast craft. From Tagbilaran it took us 20-30 minutes to get to Bohol Beach Club. Well the resort was good,it has complete amenities and most especially very relaxing but we were not so pleased with the service they had towards their customers.
We were all set to check out at 11:00 o clock in the morning even though the usual time for check is 12:00 noon, this is because we planned to used their internet facility first to check Cebu Pacific Schedule, so we called up front desk if there's any way for us to get an internet access from our room since my friend got a laptop.
The operator told me i can buy a card for 90 pesos at the front desk then we can get an internet access, so i walked through the front desk immediately after putting down the phone but to my dismay the front desk attendant told me they have no 90 pesos available and only 400 pesos card available. I head back to our room and bring nothing.
We tried at business center since that's the option that was given to us by the front desk attendant, but then again the lady in charge told us internet connection is down so there is no way for us to use it. Last but not the least we tried to ask their help to get us the Cebu Pacific office number through using their telephone but instead of making a call to the operator just to ask the number she referred us to the front desk again which i think is not a good move.
They let their customers walk back and forth for just a simple task to do. It's like frustrating because that resort was kind of famous and we thought they got good personnel who knows how to treat and pleased their customers right so that customers would have the reason to recommend their resort to some friends or families or leave a good impression so that customers would keep coming back but it's different and theirs no reason for me to go their again.
Lastly, we noticed that when you are inside the resort, we had this feeling like they'll make you broke, because room rates are quite high, everything you ask to do something has a charge as in nothing is free worst of all some personnel is lack of initiative.
Not really a good trip at all. Sorry but this is just based on my personal experience with this resort.I was able to visit a five star resorts here in Cebu like Shangrila and Hillton and they are way too far in terms of service.

Which Work's Best Wordpress vs Blogger?

I'm actually confused and wants to know which work's best between Wordpress vs Blogger? I also post this question actually started a forum to blogcatalog since I want to know bloggers opinion about this one for the reason that I will soon buy a domain name and pay for hosting but as to what template should i be using I cant decide yet.
So to gain answers and to help me decide over this matter, i decided to blog about this and hoping to get opinions from my valued readers and fellow bloggers. I also tried signing up at wordpress and honestly i find it a little difficult compared to my experience when i first start blogspot. But infairness to wordpress they offer more features (plug-in) than blogger.
So please drop me a line or comment if you got something to say about this post and i would like to thank you in advance for doing so. Here's what other bloggers respond to this post http://www.blogcatalog.com/group/blogspot/discuss/entry/which-one-do-you-prefer-wordpress-vs-blogger I know for sure your opinion could help to newbie bloggers like me.

Dismayed to BPI Phone Banker

Yesterday, i recieve my BPI classic credit card. I was waiting for this few weeks ago from my application. I told my bestfriend about the credit card i got and we immediately proceed to Ayala Shopping Center. Well, we plan to purchase a samsung tv with samsung dvd player. Were actually both excited as to what model of tv should we purchase.
My first choice was 20" inch sony bravia that will also serve as pc monitor but it was way too expensive and we both find it impractical to buy it now since the purpose of buying a television is only to watch what the television can offer us. Now everything was being tested to see if theres any factory defect and after that its all set and ready to deliver.
Upon reaching the counter, the sales attendant told me that my card is not working, and they need another card,i was quite unsure if the attendant did the right thing becuase that was the first swipe i ever made. So i ask her to swipe it again and she say the same thing. This time i was quite anxious becuase i dont have that much cash on hand and i dont have any other cards too.
So we called up customers service by dialling the toll free number of Bank of the Philippine Island (BPI) to consult my credit card situation. It took time for us to get to the phone banker and when i finnaly speak to him, he first verify if the credit card is mine and after that, i told him my problem of why theres an error in swiping.
He told me i cannot avail the special installment plan (SIP) becuase my card is only good for straight payment and he can offer me no other options aside from waiting a year to increase my credit limit which also mean i can reallocate half of my credit limit to SIP and by hearing that I felt dismayed due for a fact that i cannot avail the 12 months zero interest which defeat my purpose.
Actually im not a new BPI customer and it is my first time to experienced this situation after banking with them for the past three years. So i guess i'd rather surrender this card and maybe switch to Citi bank but im gonna think about it first before applying one and this time i'll make sure that i clarify all my concerns to the bank before using it so there will be no pulling out again.

Two million dollars for a tip?

Sounds unbelievable! Two million dollars just for a tip.Woah.. im going crazy men if this happens to me and neither to you.I was really moved by this person's character.
Here's the story, there's a couple both from New york and the wife is some kind of "queen of vanity" very ambitious, all she wanna do is get rich but take note she doesn't work for a living,she's always busy polishing her nails,fixing her hair,dressing up like she's a celebrity and worst very demanding and a greedy wife.
On the other hand the husband is exactly the opposite of his wife's attitude.He is like a "perfect" husband that anybody could have.He is a good cop. He loves to help people from all walks of life,a very good listener,responsible,a man who keeps his word and most of all a man who prefer to live a simple decent life rather than being rich.
One day, he and the other police officer decided to have a coffee in the corner, a minute after their coffee was serve there was an alarm that they both need to respond and so they have to leave right then and there.
The good officer wants to give a tip to the waitress but unfortunately he got nothing on his wallet but only a piece of lotto ticket.(wanna guess) What he did was that he gave this lotto ticket to the waitress and tell the waitress that if he won he will give half of the winning amount.
The waitress actually thought that this officer is crazy but to make the story short she kept the lotto ticket. That night the result was drawn and announce from the television. The good officer and his wife actually had an arguments about money,in fact he's not into lotto only that day he bought a ticket because his wife instructed her to do so but theirs this two digits that the officer changed.
Well... shortly after their argument the lotto draw starts and the wife was sitting in front of the TV checking if her numbers are the one's being broadcast. Luckily all numbers were right and they just won 4 million dollars that night.
Should i continue or you know what's next? uhmm well the good officer went to the waitress early in the morning and told her the good news that they won and he will have half of the winning amount which made the desperate but very good waitress cried. She cant believe it that somebody would gave her 2 million just for a tip. This tip actually helped the waitress a lot.
The greedy wife of course filed a case against her husband (divorce) and the waitress just because of the money and she won the case and left her husband and the waitress penniless but that's okay because one night at the waitress coffee shop, rain was so heavy and theirs this one person who disguise as a beggar, this beggar is asking for food and since the good officer and the waitress are together that time,even if its unholy hour,even if their coffee shop is no longer operating (after loosing the case), both of them offered food to this beggar.
The beggar felt the sincerity and purity of these two people. What these two people don't know that from that simple act being a "good Samaritan" helps them changed their live a day after that. They were published to newspapers from all over their country and they started to received bundles of letters with money inside each letter of encouragement, hope and admiration.
They were happy knowing that people believes in them being innocent of his ex wife accusations, and was given the chance to live happily ever after just like a fairy tale and it could happen to you.
