Kwento Ni Toto experienced the food in Ginger's Cafe Bistro!  Yup, Toto did experience it and it was superb.  A rare experience coming from an adopted resident of Pampanga, though it wasn't official perhaps the length of 10 years span of working in Clark may somewhat make a good appeal to be called adopted.  For that time there are few places in Pampanga that made a good mark on my palate.  I'm not a picky eater but I sure know the taste of good food when I savor one.

Last Thursday was something new.  It was something different than the usual though the main ingredient is familiar.  The style of cooking, the delivery, the approach, and the added ingredients are new.  Of course that's according to me and myself but you can still deviate with my thoughts if you want to.  Hahaha!

Here's something for Kwento Ni Toto followers from Fox as they give treats before the Holloween.  Read the details below.

October will be a huge month for FOX, as a monumental event in television will be exploding on screens all over the Philippines and Asia on the 19th. On October 19, 2013, FOX will be broadcasting the Philippine and Asian premiere of Season 4 of The Walking Dead at 8:55 PM, followed by the premiere of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Sleepy Hollow at 9:50 PM and 10:45 PM, respectively. The three shows are among the most highly anticipated series in the US, each owning a distinct fan base as TV adaptations of successful comic book and movie franchises. The Walking Dead which FOX International Channels identified at script level and owns the global rights for, is based on a comic book series by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard, and has had a strong viewership over its last three seasons, garnering 12.4 million viewers for its Season 3 finale and reigns the most watched series in PayTV history.

Kwento Ni Toto, with the help of our trusted correspondent Justin, was able to get the details about the blessing ceremony happened last September 27, 2013 in one of the branches of Yoshinoya.  For this particular branch, it is in Upper Ground Level of Building A in SM Megamall.

This specific branch was first opened on April 23, 2003.  Then the dining area was renovated in November 2009.   Until recently the whole store was renovated and redesigned in order to top with the latest trends in design.  The store was upgraded into a more convenient, eye catching, and warmth ambiance for an exquisite dining experience.

Just got something today that will help me verify that I know this blog. And for that I am creating this post just to have them verify that I placed their code and created this new blog post for their reference and checking. Kwento Ni Toto will be having something different in coming days so better stay tuned to this blog and read more for surprises and many things to come. Let's all celebrate life! Life is GREAT!

PLDT or Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company at present cherries two numbers, these numbers had moved them to stand firmly with their belief “we're changing lives”. And indeed they've change the lives of Filipinos in the telecommunication industry.  Eight and Five are the numbers that they cherries. These are the very number that describes their existence and their service for the Filipinos in terms of communication. Eight and Five are an interesting pair of number for celebrating an eight and a half decade of providing services that changes the lives of others through technology and innovations in the telecommunication industry.

Kwento Ni Toto will be laughing his way again outside the cinema soon as this two beautiful actresses will make everyone possibly laugh from start to end.   Starring AiAi Delas Alas and Marian Rivera who I think both worked for the very first time, together with Edward Mendez, these three great actors will definitely twist and turn the world of Kung Fu.  Entitled as "KUNG FU DIVAS" they will be making everyone enjoy watching the movie.  The movie is directed by Onat Diaz.  This movie is the first directorial movie of Onat Diaz.

We've known Galema: Anak Ni Zuma in the 80s and it was something new.  Now, with the advancement of digital and movie technology "Galema: Anak Ni Zuma" will be something awesome to watch.


“Galema: Anak ni Zuma” is an offering of ABS-CBN as part of the grand celebration of 60 years of Philippine Television.  The story is one of the classic Pinoy Komiks hit in the 80s as well

Kwento Ni Toto will be participating this coming October 6, 2013 in a prestigious and well known advocacy call of ABS-CBN Foundation's Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig (KBPIP) together with the Regional Network Group (RNG) and The Filipino Channel (TFC) as they asked the people once more to heed the call of saving the environment.  Hoping for thousands of participants ABS-CBN's "One Run, One Philippines" will proceed with their plan and prayerfully nothing will go wrong.

ABS_CBN Foundation's Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig (KBPIP) together with Regional Network Group (RNG) and The Filipino Channel (TFC) will commence the "One Run, One Philippines will invade Quezon City, Cebu City, Bacolod City, Davao City, and Los Angeles (USA) to clamor for the protection of different environmental advocacies.

As usual encourages participants to be mindful of the cleanliness and orderliness. The Quezon City leg or the fifth "Run for the Pasig River" will be held at Quezon Memorial Circle (QMC) with 6:00 AM gunstart for both 3k and 5k categories.  I just hope that this time I will be able to join the fun run.  If it will pursue this will be my first ever fun run.   The said run will have its starting line at Technohub overpass straight along Commonwealth Avenue then head to QMC for the finish line.

Of course, preparation will be made for this event in which they will close portions of the Commonwealth avenue for the runners but will still have lanes for the vehicles.  There will also be parking zones located at Philcoa, Department of Agrarian Reform, Department of Agriculture, Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, sugar Regulatory Commission, Trinoma, Wildlife, Quezon City Hall, National Housing Authority, and side streets of University Avenue, Visayas Avenue, North Ave, Quezon Avenue, East Avenue and Kalayaan Avenue.

Once again Kwento Ni Toto bring forth the happenings at SM Hypermarket's Master Chefs.  As for this year they're making it more big and more extravagant.

If you're one of the fans of National Geographic Channel then you should miss this episode premiering on September 24, 2013, Tuesday at 9 PM.  It is National Geographic Channel’s new series Brain Games, a show that explores the human mind’s powers of perception as well as the skills that it affords us. Using mind-boggling experiments, brainteasers, optical illusions and hard science, Brain Games shows viewers how the human brain works and how their lives are affected as a result.

NGC will be showing a Brain Games special on September 24 for its premiere. In the premiere episode, viewers are lured into the world of sleight of hand, of advanced card play and card magic, with a focus on the oldest card trick in the world, the Three Card Monte. Card performers will be revealing the secrets behind their tricks as well as exploring the psychology that allows people to be tricked. Also, the connection between human beings and primates will be highlighted, giving us a better understanding of our social interactions and dynamics, and how we perceive our relationships because we are hard-wired in a certain way.

It's a great weekend to have something fresh and tasty. And it was great that Kwento Ni Toto was able to indulge in one of the rich culture when it comes to raw dishes, its none other the Japanese Culture with their different cuisines. Personally, Kwento Ni Toto is a great fan of Japanese food and of course their anime as well.


So, for this indulgence we're taking you right in the heart of Malate somewhere in Adriatico St. where one of the known Japanese restaurant's serve the best Japanese food. The name of place is called IZAKAYA KENTA. Owned by Dr. Sakura Medina and Mr. Erwin Medina, siblings who's very fond of Japanese food. According to them the IZAKAYA KENTA have already flourished in the streets of Adriatico and was already established before but due to some unforeseen matters the restaurant closed and the owner declared bankruptcy. The Medina siblings, Dr. Sakura and Mr. Erwin being eager to venture into restaurant business and being raised and a number one lover of Japanese cuisine, they took the opportunity to get the name and have it registered under their names.
