Noite de Canivale @ Seven Suites Hotel



Seven Suites Observatory Hotel celebrated their 13th anniversary and grand re-launch last March 27, 2010. And we're the lucky ones who got invited to witness the event. Seven Suites is the first and only in the Philippines to actually have an observatory equipped with a 12" diameter telescope and there's an in-house astronomer to guide stargazers to the wonders in the sky.


Seven Suites exemplifies a simple yet distinctly unique style that offers a different experience for every visitor.

Chocolate Appreciation 101 @ Heavenly Chocolates

I WAS TRANSPORTED INTO A NEW DIMENSION OF CHOCOLATE. Yes, I think that statement is very much fitting after attending the Chocolate Appreciation 101 at Heavenly Chocolates.

I remember doing a research paper on Chocolates when I was in college (ikr.) but the satisfaction never equaled as to what I got from the workshop. :D Thanks to Heavenly Chocolates, Ms. Marga Manlapig and Spot.ph for such a great workshop for chocoholics like us. Nothing beats a good knowledge on something you really like.


We got there late. Good thing they were still talking about the history of Chocolate when we came in.

This Week in TV/ Movies [0322-0328]

Okay! Finally I am able to fulfill my task of actually doing a TWIT/M post! :D This isn't really a movie review post but rather a suggestive one. I, being such a fan of the TV and the big screen, I think it's fun to share some of my fancies.

MOVIE OF THE WEEK:
The Invention of Lying



A production of Ricky Gervais and of course, starring himself. Movie goes about the life of Mark Bellison, living in a world where no one lies. Until Mark discovered making up stories to comfort his mother from dying in vain. From there he constructed lies here and there and soon making up the story of the man in sky sky who is similar to God in our terms. The movie even had a Moses-like event, where he wrote into stone slabs pizza boxes his made-up commandments. The part where he consoled his mother, got the waterworks running. And it's a plus that's Tina Fey is on the movie, although a very minor role, but still -- because I just simply love her. :) There wasn't too much comedy and I think the latter part kind of become dragging at some point. Overall, it's still a good movie.

TV PICK OF THE WEEK: The Mentalist



Need I say more? This show is becoming a favorite! I'm almost done with the first season and I'm definitely proceeding to season two! I don't want to indulge more because I'd prefer that you go give this show a shot. It got me entertained really, but not enough to replace NCIS though. :P If you're into crime/ detective shows with a bit of psychic hint to it, then The Mentalist is a good addition to your list. It's like Psych, only on a more serious note. And I am sort of developing a mild crush over Patrick Jane, whose name I already find fancy. I'm also rooting for the Van Pelt-Rigsby, !

Chocolate Appreciation 101

Wow. 20 days had passed since my last post. Not much happening lately.

But..!

We'll be attending a Chocolate Appreciation 101 session on Saturday!
I'm pretty excited about it~ and to posting something good about the experience. :) Until Saturday then! I'll do a round-up post for this week.

I've been hanging around twitter lately (totally forgetting my activity on plurk, sorry plurk) -- feel free to follow my updates @ohmymimai.

ETA:  Will attend Seven Suites re-launching too!! :D
