One of Kwento Ni Toto's favorite voice, yup it's none other than Zia Quizon.  She is one of the many Pinoy Singers that I love to listen.  Grateful and thankful that I was given a chance to see and hear her sing in person.  She looks more likely of her mother in person.



Her first album was great and that's why I was eager to hear more from her.   The first album launch was the propeller that shoots her right on top by balancing the sound of jazzy and folky voice.  She indeed prove herself that she could breath life to the OPM industry.   So, now she's back with her sophomore album to entice more Pinoy listener to enjoy more of the OPM.  Completing her track are eight original cuts including Zia's own compositions and two classic revivals.  Her album is released under PolyEast Records.

What comes to your mind when the word resort is mentioned? I think you're thinking of beach, vacation, swimming pool, and hotel. You're right and what about when the Province Rizal is mentioned? Probably you'll be telling about the wood carvings, artists, Higantes Festival and of course the petroglyphs. Well, that's right and that's where Kwento Ni Toto had its escapade. The place is found somewhere in the Province of Rizal.

Great sky background looking at the Thunderbird signage.

I believe it is one of the good place near the metro and it is a good place to have fun, relax, and enjoy. It is a place to put off the worries of work in the office and far away from the dreadful smogs in the city.

The king of burger's and the original home of the Whopper hails their newest member of the royal family with fresher, juicier and more "FILLET-vorful" taste as Burger King introduces the Chicken Crisp Fillet Sandwich.    Launched last August 17, 2013, this newest addition is for sure one of the burgers that will delight chicken lovers.

Max's has never stopped innovating specials for their customers.  As most of you who've always been my visitors here in Kwento Ni Toto you'll definitely get the regular updates and details about Max's and what's new with them.  Sir Bobby and the rest of the Max's Restaurant's team sure got plenty of tricks under their sleeves and who knows what will be the next to their line of dishes.

But before jumping long let me first share to you their latest offerings which is great for the Barkada Gimmick Night.  This is Max's Restaurant's response to the needs of the younger market, particularly the yuppies and those who working in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry.   This innovation will sure re-define how Filipinos chill out after a long day at work and of course the Friday Night Barkada Gimmick.

Kwento Ni Toto once again indulge in a tasty Japanese treat on a rainy week.  It's a great day to fill up the tummy with warm dishes from Yoshinoya.  Yup it's from Yoshinoya!  For quite some time the Yoshinoya branch in Robinson's Galeria located in Level 1 East Wing has been off and closed from their customers because of its renovation.  They are making these to further give their customers a better dining experience.



Last August 12, 2013 the much awaited reopening of the store happened as important people like Mr. Timothy James G. Yang, President/General Manager of Lhanat Foods Corporation, VIP's of Robinson's Galeria, Bloggers, Staff, Guests and Store Crew of Yoshinoya grace the blessing of the said establishment.

Holidays are just one of the days that bloggers, like Kwento Ni Toto, are looking forward to. Most especially the working ones, a time off from a tiring day at work.

"Wala Pang Titulo" or "No Title Yet" is a debut EP of Ron Henley.  So why don't we put a title to it?  Well it is the title already and according to Ron Henley himself when asked, he'll just instantly say "None Yet".  Title or not Kwento Ni Toto brings this EP to the public and to the readers and hopefully if Ron Henley will agree will get the readers to ask to what title they think would go with this EP.  It's quite a playful title to have for a music and for a blog post.

Ron Henley have this EP as his debut but he is no newbie in industry.  He started is rapping at the age of 14 and met fellow rapper Loonie who shared the same liking for Eminem's music but basically I hear an influence of the master rapper.  Ron and Loonie formed a group called Stick Figgas and joined the 'Rap-public of the Philippines' contest in the noontime show Eat Bulaga and where they met their idol none other than the Philippines' master rapper FrancisM.  The late rapper took them under his wings and made them a part of the contest's compilation album.   Ron and Loonie eventually explored going solo but still maintaining the group.  the first two sings he wrote were "Suicide Note" and "Nandito Lang Ako" in 2006 which was included in "Critical Condition" album followed by "Kwentong Barbero" in 2008 and "Biglang Liko" in 2010.  It was through the song "Biglang Liko," which has currently more than 11 million hits on YouTube, made the executives of multi-national label MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines) take notice of this talented artist.

Have you ever asked this question to yourself “Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush Mo?” (Why Your Crush Didn't Have a Crush On You?) Perhaps yes and perhaps not but for many hopeless romantic this is just one of the many. I too, were once asking this question, of course the book wasn't printed that time so it's one of the question that I search for the answer, hahaha.

Now, it's great that straight to the point a book like this from “the Internet Action Star”, Ramon Bautista, was published and read by many teenagers of this generation. A guide book to answer most of the questions in life of youngsters and perhaps even the not so-old bachelor and bachelorette who's still searching for the right one.

What made Kwento Ni Toto day great last Independence Day? Well, of course aside from knowing that it is a holiday and the celebration of Independence Day, Kwento Ni Toto got an invite of an advance screening of Man of Steel! Thanks to Jollibee for having that screening as it made our Independence Day as awesome as possible.

It was an afternoon of great movie experience and a sumptuous meal from Jollibee plus an awesome Superman Collectibles. Yup! Jollibee got an awesome treat for everybody that wants to enjoy the most super treat. We know and pretty much sure that collectors of Superman action figures and items would definitely not miss this items from Jollibee.   The ChickenJoy Man of Steel Bucket Treats which is only Php575.00 with the Man of Steel design outside of the bucket would definitely mesmirize ladies with Henry Cavill's Steel-rific look and physique.  Also, a treat of an exclusive Man of Steel Metal Tumbler which you can get adding Php50 to every burger or sandwich value meal.  Plus, there's something for the kids and kids-at-heart. The Man of Steel action figure and other items which is included in every Jollibee Kids meals.

It is great when you know that you get to be the first to taste, know and read about different things.  Much better if it is about food because you get to experience it first hand.  But sometimes there are things that an individual couldn't be in two places.  So Kwento Ni Toto sought the help of one of his correspondent to witness and experience the launching of McDonald's newest offering, the McSpicy Chicken Burger with a #McSpicyIsHere in which it is really here in the Philippines already.

Correspondent Justine was one of the lucky people to taste the spiciness and flavorful goodness of McDonald's Spicy Chicken Burger.  According to Justine this burger is a burger with a kick.  Spicy but tolerable enough for the taste palate of Pinoys.
