Lolo Ninoy's Camera needs to be cleaned

So this was found in Times and I asked my Mom if I could keep it. She said yes. Yehey! So anyway, I need to have this cleaned. :( It's pretty old and it was my Lolo Ninoy's camera. I'm not sure if he used this to cover the war in Korea. Probably not. But nonetheless, he was a photo enthusiast.




I started with basic photography last year and I got a Canon G10. I'm really not into the whole SLR thing yet. But anyway, here are some pics I took of my Lolo's camera. :)

So please please comment if you know where I can have this cleaned. It would be very very much appreciated!!!

Thank God for Charlie's Burger

So finally, finally, finally!!! Since I left work late and was hungry. I decided to finally try Charlie's Burger on the way home and OH. EM. GEE. WOW!!! The burger was made of 100% Grade A PURE AWESOME!!!

I don't know how to explain it but the first bite, it had all the flavors I wanted in a burger. I think it was the meat being so damn juicy. It was just heaven. You would stop talking to people around you and just focus on the burger!!! Seriously. Burger Heaven man!!!

Ok, it wasn't a perfect night. There was this Australian Root Beer and by all means, DO NOT DRINK IT!!! I didn't like it at all. Dapat may message. Charlie's Black Angus Burger - Enjoyed best with a glass of Ice Cold Coca-Cola!!! And the fries. They're not the best, but they'll do just fine. There were some fries that hadn't been entirely cooked.

But nonetheless, PLEASE TRY THE EXCELLENT BURGER!!! (Drools)


I promise you. It's one of the best I've tasted. Being a burger lover, it's pretty damn awesome.

Charlie's Burger is located in Kapitolyo, Pasig. It's near Cafe Juanita. It's right after the intersection and it's right next to a car wash.

Dinner with Tita Kris

I haven't really blogged about Tita Kris but this is just something pretty random.

I find it hard when people talk badly about her but the reality is you can't please everyone. It's either you like her or you don't.

Anyway, she's my coolest Tita and I love her for who she is. She speaks her mind :) Plus she's updated with all the trends. She's usually the one to tell her pamangkins on what the in things are. So what to wear and what not, she gives good advice.

So last Saturday, my parents went to this event. We were at mass and Tita Kris and Tito James were there. She found out that Jonty and I were eating alone so she invited us for dinner at her place. Food was AWESOME!!! JC Buendia sent her this native chicken dish and being the chicken guy that I am, I got lots of them. Hahaha.

The highlight for me was when she asked if we've seen New Moon. So I said yes and mentioned that the whole abs-filled movie was funny. She loved it! She loved the movie since she loved the books too. FYI, She's Team Jacob. Movie-wise. But Edward sa books.

After that, we talked about work and behind the scenes stories in the world of showbiz in which I'd like to call "The Buzz: Family Edition" hahaha.

Baby James was too tired so he slept early. Jonty and I just hung out with Josh afterwards. Tito James also gave the awesome Yellow Nike wristbands :)

It was real awesome of her to have us over for dinner. She's the coolest!

The Tangled Web vs. Twitter

I suddenly had this urge to write about my blog competing against my twitter page.

In terms of followers, The Tangled Web is nowhere near twitter.com/jiggycruz

Yes, I love my followers on twitter. You guys know who you are.

But I feel I owe it more to my blogger followers. Thank you so much for keeping up with my geekiness/hopeless romantic side of me. The Tangled Web is really where I put up my deep thoughts and feelings. Twitter is where I communicate to the world. But here on my blog is where the other Jiggy lives.

So to the blogger followers, mas love ko kayo!!! :) Hahahaha. Blogger + Twitter followers, you guys rock even more!!! :)

I was thinking of putting a little twist on my blog.

So for the regular followers of The Tangled Web, do you have any ideas on what to blog about? Do you want me to put my thoughts on something? Do you want to ask questions? Of course I can't answer all your questions but fire away and I will try my best to answer them :)

You can ASK ME ANYTHING!!! :)

To those who know me personally, just ask me when you see me.That means my blockmates, officemates, friends. Wag niyo na ko lokohin please.

This is for the blogger/followers :) Cut-off date for the questions/suggestions will be this Thursday, December 10, 2009.

Ok, now I'm a bit worried, baka wala ng magtanong. So fire away guys! :)

And thanks for reading my blog!!! :D

I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE (with the same woman three times)

I think the best version was when Jose Mari Chan sang it at the wake. I think that the love my grandparents had for each other was one of a kind. They brought out the best in each other. Lolo Ninoy was Lola's ONLY love.

She was telling me that he was really the most charming guy. I can imagine. Wooing her on her 18th birthday with a painting by Amorsolo was WOW!!! Plus Lolo's poems were awesome too. If he were here, I'd tell him SOBRANG CHEEESSSSY! Hahaha.

But the man was just awesome in wooing my Lola. I'm a big fan of their love story...

I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE
(with the same woman three times)

I have fallen in love
with the same woman three times;
In a day spanning 19 years
of tearful joys..and joyful tears.

I loved her first when she was young,
enchanting and vibrant, eternally new..
she was brilliant, fragrant,
and cool as the morning dew.

I fell in love with her the second time;
when first she bore her child and mine
always by my side, the source of my strength,
helping to turn the tide..

But there were candles to burn
the world was my concern;
while our home was her domain..
and the people were mine
while the children were hers to maintain;

So it was in those eighteen years and a day..
’till I was detained; forced in prison to stay.

Suddenly she’s our sole support;
source of comfort,
our wellspring of Hope..
on her shoulders felt the burden of Life..

I fell in love again,
with the same woman the third time.
Looming from the battle,
her courage will never fade

Amidst the hardships she has remained,
undaunted and unafraid..
she is calm and composed,
she is God’s lovely maid..

Burgers, Hotdogs, Pizza? [UPDATED]

I think I've never written an entry on the best of the best in the Philippines.

I think if that there's no home cooked meal, the best things to eat, especially when you're a growing young boy are Burgers, Hotdogs, and of course, Pizza!!!

So let me run down on what I think are the best of the best.

BURGERS

In no particular order.

1. HOTSHOTS - It's one of the best in the Metro because of the CHEESE!!! Make sure you get the double pattied sandwich together with cream cheese and the friggin bacon bits!!! This one's a winner together with their curly fries and an ice cold can of Coca-Cola :) (Am I making you hungry yet?)

2. BROTHERS BURGER - I think that this one of the most premium burgers ever. Everything on the menu's awesome! My only take here is price. I felt that the diameter and thickness of the burgers became smaller... Sayang.

3. McDonald's Double Cheeseburger - Ok, don't give me any of that BIG MAC or Quarter Pounder debates. Double Cheeseburger wins because you get your money's worth plus you really don't put an extra 1/4 pound in your weight.

4. Good Burgers - The best veggie meat burgers in town! Be sure to get the 3 cheese one. You actually have the option to go chicken burger or veggie burger. I say veggie burger! You want to taste awesome? Then you have to try this. Panalo talaga.

5. KFC ZINGER - Ok, not really a burger but when you're in the mood for something spicy, this one takes the cake.

HOTDOGS

My brother and I will never forget Papaya King in New York City. It was the most amazing hotdog evaaaarrrrrr!!! Sigh...

Anyway, you guys remember the Coney Dog from A&W? That kicked ass!!! Sayang lang wala ng A&W dito...

OK, so my top dogs are, and in no particular order

1. S&R Beef Hotdogs. - Ketchup. Mustard. Relish. That's it. Plus Coke. Wala ng away.

2. Jolly Hotdog - OK, whoever doesn't eat the Jolly Hotdog, shame on you! Weren't you a kid??? There's something about the sauce in the Jolly Hotdog. It's just awesome!!!

3. SMOKEY'S Cheesedog - Find a Smokey's stand now!!! I mean it!!! Try this!!! Perfect!!!

PIZZA

If there's one type of food I can eat anyday or everyday na hindi ako magsasawa, it would be PIZZA. Love. Love. Love. Love Pizza.

1. Shakey's - THIN CRUST. GARLIC AND CHEESE. Diba??? Diba??? I love em...

2. Shakey's - Hi-protein Supreme. It has the ranch dressing so it makes it even more awesome. Eat this while watching a Pacquiao fight and it's the best!!!

3. Brooklyn Pizza - White Pizza. #$@$% ANG SARAP!

4. Yellow Cab - Four Seasons. Can't decide? This is the perfect Pizza Sampler.

5. S&R Pizza - The big slices make it better and my favorites are usually the ones you can fold. :) Hahaha. But let the oil drip first. Pepperoni forever!!!

Hmmm... Now. What to eat? I'm hungry.
