Good day there readers!

Well, it's been a year already and time does fly so fast that I didn't realized it is time again for SM North EDSA's The Great Northern Sale.  Yup!  The Great Northern Sale will happen again and there are now plenty of stores where you can score some great deals.

It's the first food review of Kwento Ni Toto for this year and since it's New Year new things will happen.  To start the tease for the changes I mentioned in one of my post that there will a Monday Jam for music and today which is for food, restaurants, recipes, drinks or everything that deals with food and drinks will fall under Tuesday Appetite.  Of course I know most foodie events are done on weekends so I'll just make sure to have it posted on Tuesdays so readers will know what they'll be expecting on that day.  So expect more!

So for our Tuesday Appetite we will be having a Singaporean and Cantonese Cuisines from Wangfu Chinese Cafe.  The place is located at Il Terrazzo Mall in Tomas Morato.  It's just around the place of Tomas Morato where most of the best restaurants and bars in the metro are found.  Of course it is Quezon City which is dubbed is the City of Stars.  For those who will looking for the place it can easily be spotted.

Very bad of me that I missed sharing this information about this two rap artists and take note this two are certified Rap Artists. This two are the most popular artists in the Fliptop scene. As MCA Music beefs up with its OPM label, Loonie and Ron Henley are good addition to their roster of top local acts. These includes Nyoy Volante, Urbandub, Sabrina, Pupil, Solenn Heussaff, Franco, Barbie Forteza, Chicosci, The Oktaves, Tanya Markova and Pedicab. Its international acts comprised of U2, Psy, Snow Patrol, Keane, Justin Bieber, Lady GaGa, Miley Cyrus, Paul McCartney, Lionel Richie, Gotye, Rihanna, Sting, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey and Jessie J among others.

Want to know who's Rita Ora?  Read some of the information about her and her album below to have a glimpse about Rita Ora.

If there is a sense when Rita Ora walks into a room that a star has already been ordained from above then nobody appears to have told the young Londoner and future pop princess herself. She has not an air or a grace about her. She greets the bar staff dotted in the hostelries of her neighborhood like old friends, mostly because they are. She bumps knuckles with the coat check chicks and management with the same egalitarian smile. Friends stop by for a brief ‘Hi’. Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. There is no mistaking the fact that Saturday night in Notting Hill is brightened by a touch of Rita’s special aura. She might not have been born this way, but she was recognisably named it.

It's been quite some time that I wasn't able to share something from the music scene and as for this year we will try to make some few changes and schedules with our postings.  We will be having a regular music schedule and it will be called the Monday Jam.  So everything with regards to music will be published in our Monday Jam.  This is just a tease so there will be more to come.
