15 isn't always the number for payday but knowing that you'll be having moolah on that day is one great of a number to enjoy. And the thing is that you'll be having money to spend in one of the great restaurants in the metro, Beeffalo.

Yes, just few months ago Beeffalo opened a new branch in a little city of San Juan. The restaurant is constructed in a not so isolated area beside a car wash. Not in a commercial center but is a great place to hang out with friends and families. It's a 50-seater restaurant that is already gaining popularity in the area. "We felt it was time to grow the business and reach out to a wider audience. So many establishments in Marikina have copied us so we want to conquer a new area," General Manager, Louie Abad shared.
Beeffalo or Beeffalo by Hotrocks started entertaining guests in 2013 at an obscure area of Marikina. Far away from the busy thoroughfare and was not easy to find. "It was like dining in the middle of nowhere, that was the magic of the place," according to Beeffalo general manager, Mr. Louie Abad. Still, the restaurant's name manage to reached a lot of customers and through the word of mouth their best-selling ribs and steaks were the talk of the town.


Beeffalo's concept is more of a place to relax and enjoy. "We want it to be a place where families can go to chill, have good food, then extended kwentuhan over coffee and dessert," described by Sir Louie. "We'd like to keep the identity of it being a destination restaurant, a place that encourages people to go out of their way to visit," he added.

So to give you more of the idea about their menu I list down 15 foods and beverage that I've tasted, enjoyed and longed to visit again for another round of great food. This is actually based on their serving.

• 1. Cucumber Lemonade - Natural and it's great for people wanted to have the good old fruit juices. If you're an avid fan of fruit juices better go with the bottomless drinks. 

• 2. Nachos - For a start if you're still not in the mood to eat heavy, nachos is one of the best appetizers. With Beeffalo's Nachos they have one dip, aside from the salsa, that I like and I'm sure kids will surely love, their spinach dip. Kids won't noticed that it was a spinach. 

• 3. Biscuit Pizza: Garlic and Mushroom - I'm a fun of mushrooms and garlics and having them on top of a think crust pizza with sauce and cheese all over, man it tastes yummy. 

• 4. Biscuit Pizza: Margherita - Just like the garlic and mushroom, this one is also appetizing. The crust is just right for the toppings, complementing each flavor and ingredients.

• 5. Taco BBQ Salad - I'm not much of a health buff but man I really love salad very much. Mixing the tacos with barbeque sauce and the lettuce is a good pair to have if you're trying to get out of the usual carbs and fatty foods.

• 6. Broccoli-Cheese Soup - If you hate broccoli then you might want to reconsider because Beeffalo's Broccoli-Cheese Soup is a good way to start the meal. A hot, healthy and flavorful soup to warm up the tummy. 

• 7. Roasted Pumpkin - If you still don't like broccoli then you might want to stick with the usual pumpkin soup but this one is a bit different because it is roasted.  You'll see that the soup is not the common color of pumpkin soups. 

• 8. Beeffalo Wings - Their wings is an original buffalo style which comes in Hot or Sweet. You can order spicy or sweet or mix and it comes with a blue cheese dip which makes it even tastier. 

• 9. Chicken Barbecue - This particular dish is one of their best-seller. Like what Sir Louie mentioned this is an old family recipe, so it only means that this and together with the other dishes comes with a secret herbs and spices that makes it tastier and yummier. Of course a Chicken Barbecue is best paired with a Java rice. 

• 10. Buttermilk Fired Chicken - This recipe is a commissioned recipe of one of the brands and this made it to one of the leading magazine. This is served with creamy gravy, mashed potato or garlic rice. Take note their mashed potato is out from the scratch which still fills in the true flavor. 

• 11. Baby Back Ribs Full Rack - Now if you're a fun of baby back ribs this one is just a must have in Beeffalo. Aside from knowing that this is one of their best-sellers, it is also I so far is the most affordable baby back ribs. Soft, yummy and it gets you enjoy the flavor. Of course it is also served in single. Advise get the full rack. 

• 12. Porterhouse - Meatlovers surely will enjoy the feast as Beeffalo's porterhouse is one meat to enjoy. Cooked just right and served just fine.

• 13. Grilled Salmon (New Offering) - This yummy fish delight is one to have on your table when you visit Beeffalo. Not yet for serving but better watch out for it. Your good excuse for meats. 

• 14. Brazo de Mercedes - If sweets are heaven I would definitely love to float around. 

• 15. Dulce de Leche Cheesecake - Another sinful treat from Beeffalo is their Dulce de Leche Cheesecake.

"All comfort food. We are very particular about what we serve, only those that live up to our personal standards and agree with our palates, but nothing fancy. Beeffalo is not pretentious and our pricing is pretty reasonable," Sir Louie pointed out and as I've checked the pricing with its good food and serving Php350 is fair deal.

The woman behind these exquisite dishes is Sir Louie's wife, Girlie Cosio-Abad. Acts as Beeffalo's executive chef, of which she applied her love for cooking and he enthusiasm in providing the best dish. Together with their friend Caren Diaz who handles finance made a good team in bringing Beeffalo to where it is now.

First branch is located at Blk 6 Lot 3 Gil Fernando Avenue, Sto. Nino, Marikina City with contact numbers +63-2-967-6008 or +63939-113-0772.
Second branch is located at #135 Hoover Street, Addition Hills with contact number +63 2 636-5571. Open Monday to Sunday from 11AM to 10PM.

Why do you need to watch the movie of Alessandra de Rossi and Ivan Padilla entitled "12" of "Twelve"? Well there are reason why you need to watch it and take note you need to watch it (if you're in a relationship) with your partner. If you don't have yet a partner better watch it with your friends not to preempt any upcoming tie ups but to give you a wider view of the future.

So... before I start the reasons let me give you first some few background of the movie and the actors. The movie "12" is under Viva Films. It stars Alessandra de Rossi who play the character of Erika who is a former band member who becomes a stay-at-home partner, lovingly and happily devoting her time in taking care of her man. While Ivan Padilla plays the role of Anton who is a commercial director with a little bit of a problem with his temper. The couple started as friends for 5 years then became in a relationship for 7 years which makes up the total of 12 years of being together.

Of course we all know Alessandra de Rossi who recently gained tremendous success of its movie "Kita Kita". A very versatile actress that you can throw any character at her and she will just be that character without any pretentions.

On the other hand, Ivan Padilla is a new comer in the local scene but is related to the Padilla brothers. His acting experiences were from American TV shows like "Dexter", "CSI: New York", CSI: Miami", and "The Closer", among others. He also his shots in Hollywood movies like "Here Comes The Boom" with Salma Hayek. Another thing about this new comer is that his adept in martial arts most particularly in Jiu-Jitsu.
Now, "12" is a movie about relationship that will give understanding of the events after being in love. So here are our 12 realization after watching the movie "Twelve".

1. Don't count what you did for love.
2. Always have reservations, don't bet everything.
3. Life isn't always a happy ending. 
4. When you give don't expect something in return. It's the reality of life. 
5. When you clicked it doesn't always means your a match. 
6. It's not how long but how well the relationship was built. 
7. When she talks, you listen with your ears you might miss something. 
8. The future is good but always think of the present that might affect the future. 
9. Love doesn't mean perfect but it's how each one compliment or adjust for the shortcomings. 
10. Being in love is simple but learning to keep the love is a struggle. 
11. Don't make your special someone your sun, you might get burned when things get heated. 
12. All bad things comes out when your angry.

It's really great when you’re being considered as an expert for the part of tasting pulutan. Just before the start of the October month, San Miguel Oktoberfest initiated their competition by inviting stalls to participate in the challenge. By bringing in to their dear patrons the good food that they can offer.

In the event I attended at the Burrrpp Food Tent and where I am invited as a judge, I was able to grace their event, do the judging, taste their dishes and of course had a very cold bottle of beer. It was a cool experience judging the pulutans and much more I enjoyed the night.

The challenge isn't over yet because there will be a continuation to announce the winner of the challenge.

Sue Ramirez, Miles Ocampo, Michelle Vito, Jane De Leon, and Chanel Morales, dubbed as the "It Girls" of horror films, will spread chills and thrills in this year's most exciting and terrifying movie, "The Debutantes" in cinemas on October 4.

"The Debutantes" serves as the five millennial stars biggest break under director Prince Cruz, the same director who gave us "Ang Mananaggal sa Unit 23-B".

The story of "The Debutantes" will revolve around KAte (Sue), a friendless and weird looking student who tries to win the friendship of fellow students Lara (Miles), Jenny (Jane), Candice (Michelle), and Shayne (Chanel).
She, however, fails miserably in that she only gets close to one of them, Lara, while the rest of the girls find immeasurable joy in bullying her around.

Kate then experiences a nightmare and warns them about it but they would not listen except for Lara.

She was first seen in the remake of the hit teleserye "Mula Sa Puso" which was followed by the series, "Angelito, Batang Ama," "Angelito, Ang Bagong Yugto," "Annalisa", "Pamgako Sa'yo," "Dolce Amore" and the ongoing horror serye "La, Luna Sangre" of Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo.

On the other hand, Michelle initially, made her mark as a contravida in the fantaserye "Aryana" which was topbilled by Megan Young.

She has done shows for TV 2 and was cast in the horror film "Pagpag: Siyam Na Buhay".

For her part, Jane was a multi-talented entertainer when she entered showbiz. She was in the fantasy series "Wansapanataym" last year and was a member of the all-girl dance group Girltrends of "It's Showtime" in 2012.

Chanel stands as the newest Regal Millennial Baby. She first earned notice in the artista search "Artista Academy" on TV5 and was part of the "Wattpad Presents" series.

She, too is in the cast of "FPJ's Ang Probinsyano"


Together, these girls deliver a unique brand of horror in "The Debutantes" one that today's millennial generation can relate to as it delves into the subject of bullying within the campus.

In Addition, churning out horror flicks that click with the audience is a forte of Regal Films.

"Shake, Rattle & Roll" stands to be the country's longest and most successful horror franchise to date.

In other festival entry, "Haunted Mansion" is a top grosser as well while Regal's last horror presentation "Pwera Usog" was a blockbuster.

As for feedbacks on social media platforms, the trailer of "The Debutantes" scored nothing but rave reviews -proof that netizens and movie enthusiasts alike await the kind of chill and thrill the "Horror It Girls" will offer come October 4.!

As much as possible we don't want the big one to happen or any of the possible disasters that will hit our country, our world.

PHIVOLCS warned that in case of an earthquake in Metro Manila, the 100-kilometer-long fault system, which passes through various cities and provinces which includes Bulacan, Quezon City, Marikina, Pasig, Makati, Taguig, Muntinlupa, Rizal, Cavite and Laguna, may cause a 7.1 magnitude quake.

The government agency in-charge of earthquakes in the country estimates that over 30,000 individuals may die and over 100,000 may be injured. In order to speed up the evacuation of residents and the rescue operations, the MMDA has divided Metro Manila into four quadrants:

North
– Caloocan
– Valenzuela
– Quezon City
– San Juan
– Mandaluyong

East
– Pasig
– Marikina

West
– Manila
– Malabon
– Navotas

South
– Las Piñas
– Makati
– Muntinlupa
– Parañaque
– Pateros
– Taguig
– Pasay

Aside from the four quadrants mentioned above, the MMDA also designates operation centers and staging areas which will also serve as evacuation camps for affected residents:

North
– Veterans Memorial Golf Course
– University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman

East
– LRT-2 Santolan Depot
– Marikina Boys Town
– Red Cross Marikina
– Ultra Pasig

West
– Intramuros Golf Course

South
– Villamor Air Base Golf Course

MMDA also noted that athletic fields, sport arenas and memorial parks as well as churches and gyms  are the places that will be designated by LGUs will be used as evacuation centers in Metro Manila and nearby provinces and cities. The Metro Manila’s main waterways, the Pasig River will also serve as an alternate route for rescue and relief personnel in the event that bridges in the metropolis are destroyed by the quake.

This is to give everyone an idea of where to go in case the quake happens.

Whenever I see Ryan Reynolds it always comes to mind of his action-comedy antics. While Samuel J. Jackson is the coolest versatile actor. It's really rare to see both actors in one action-comedy pack film. So when it happens it's chaotic, a mayhem a click! "The Hitman's Bodyguard" is the action-comedy film that brought these two actors together.

On The Hitman's Bodyguard movie, Reynolds plays Michael Bryce, a Triple A-rated executive protection agent, while Jackson plays Darius Kincaid, one of the world’s most notorious hitman newly captured by the Interpol. For the love of his wife Sonia (Salma Hayek), who is also detained in jail, Kincaid agrees to be a star witness against the bloodthirsty tyrant Vladislav Dukhovich (Gary Oldman) in the International Criminal Court in exchange for Sonia’s freedom. But while Kincaid is being transported, his transport convoy is attacked by Dukhovich’s men. Interpol Agent Amelia Roussel (Elodie Yung) still manages to save Kincaid and turns him over to Bryce for protection. Within 24 hours, the two men must reach the trial court in The Hague. Though they can’t hide their contempt for each other, they must learn to unite against countless enemies coming at them from every angle.

The movie is directed by Patrick Hughes who have worked in some of the action packed films like the Expendables 3.
Says Ryan Reynolds: “I love the bond between Bryce and Kincaid. These two guys couldn't be more polarized but as we move through the story they start to acquire begrudging love and respect for each other. There’s a bromance and several love stories all wrapped up in this incredible, crazy action story.”

Director Patrick Hughes, having worked with an all-star cast and plenty of action in Expendables 3, had the high- adrenaline chops that this movie required. He readily saw the potential for a chemical reaction between Reynolds as Bryce whom he describes as “over-analytical about everything, trying to control all the elements in his life, from his job to his love life”, and Jackson as Kincaid, who he says “always goes with his gut”. How the two go from “absolutely intending to murder each other to...learning something about relationships,” is truly something to look forward to.

On top of the comedy, the film boasts of great car chases, stunts and practical effects. Reynolds commends Hughes for helping them create “incredible action sequences that are suspenseful but also uplifting and fun rather than dark.”

To create the exhilarating action scenes the way Hughes envisioned them, stunt expert Greg Powell, whose long list of credits includes Skyfall, Harry Potter series, and Avengers: Age of Ultron, was recruited to join the team. According to him, “The biggest challenge was that with so many fights throughout the story, (they) had to find a way to keep each one fresh, different and fun.” The viewers are in for an adventure as they’ll see “cars, motorbikes, SUVs, police cars and even speedboats racing through the canals of Amsterdam,” he adds.
Apart from their “crazy fun jaunt through the roads of Europe”, Samuel L. Jackson reveals that the chance to work with Salma Hayek was what lured him to doing this film. In describing their role as husband and wife, the actor says, “Sonia loves Kincaid despite his many flaws – and because of her, Kincaid has learned a bit about romance…Salma and I are friends…it was a great coup for everybody to bring her into this project."

Perhaps the biggest challenge for Hayek was Sonia’s epic bar fight, which convinces Kincaid she’s the one for him. “I was sore for a week after we shot that,” she admits. “But I’m so happy that at 49 I am still kicking ass and able to do all my stunts.”

Just like Hayek, Reynolds and Jackson also did most of their stunts themselves. Jackson says, “There’s a lot of hand-to-hand in the film and it makes us look heroic which is part of the joy and what people want to see,” says Jackson. “It’s a high-energy movie.”

“The Hitman’s Bodyguard” opened last August 23 in cinemas. From VIVA International Pictures and MVP Entertainment. Enjoy and watch it!


THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD

Playdate: August 23, 2017

MANILA, Philippines – Parents are wired to keep a watchful eye over their children, making sure they are healthy and safe. Kids, on the other hand, would always want to go out, explore, and play with their friends. A child’s desire to explore out of arm’s reach usually sparks a semblance of fear in parents, prompting them to become restrictive of their little one’s day-to-day activities at times.

The reality is parents cannot be with their kids 24/7. There are times when they simply need to be away from their children to fulfill other responsibilities, like going to work and attending to household chores. The new NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+ helps give them the confidence to do so, without having to worry about their little ones.

NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+, Love That Protects
Loving protection like no other NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+ has Lactobacillus PROTECTUS®, with the probiotic strain L. Rhamnosus, which not only helps protect children’s tummies but also helps support their defense against pathogens in the upper respiratory tract.

In every 45g serving (4 tablespoons) of NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+ and NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 5+, there are at least one billion colony forming unit (cfu) of L. Rhamnosus present.

#LoveThatProtects in action
In a recent event held at The Atrium, SM Megamall, NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+ showcased how it helps moms show their children a love that protects through an aptly heart-shaped activity booth headlined by interactive parent-child activities.
For kids, moms, and even dads to join in the fun, they simply need to buy one (1) 370g pack of NIDO ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+ or 5+ from the nearby selling booth to get a set of three (3) wrist tags. Inside, they can win special prizes by evading the dangers of the forest through the sound-controlled game Shout for Love, hugging to catch yellow hearts at Catch the Love Bug, expressing their creativity by coloring templated artworks at Color Me Love, and stating their commitment through a mom and child handprint and answering the question “How do you show your love that protects?”
The different activities allowed the participants to demonstrate their creativity and teamwork, and at the same time, provided parents and their kids with an educational, fun-filled family bonding day with NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+.
Catch the NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+ Love That Protects booth at SM Megamall until tomorrow, 13 August. Watch out for announcements on Cebu and Davao legs.
