Gastronomic Delights @ Gerry's Grill

We had a classmate from a recent training program that was going back to the US ending her stay here in the Philippines. Apparently, she was just here to visit relatives and attend training programs because she was simply bored. Her husband is frequently on travel, and she has nothing to do at home. In short she was bored, so she went back to the Philippines, even for just a short time, to unwind and meet new friends.

She already attended several training programs even before we set foot at the DB Wizard Training Center....and to end her probably month long series of training she decided to treat the entire class, including our instructor, at a restaurant nearby.

This is where we tried out the food at Gerry's Grill. It's not my first time to eat at this restaurant, well it's my first time at this particular branch, so I was expecting nothing new. But still, the food was gastronomically delightful, as always.

As they say in Tagalog, "Hindi nakakasawa. Hindi nakakaumay." I was not so hungry because we just had some snacks earlier immediately after class ended, but I think that's the best way to tell if the food is really good: To still have an appetite to eat plenty even though you're full.

Mikey Bustos’ Filipino Social Media Tutorial

Tekkie Tekkie Muna (Put down your smartphones and tablets immediately, may bagong viral video in the city), does anybody here follow Mikey Bustos’ videos on YouTube? You know,….that guy who does humorous tutorial videos, and other wacky stories on video. He’s the guy who would often talk to a different persona of himself portraying another character.


YouTube played a big role in discovering or “rediscovering” Filipinos with a lot of talent and creativity, and eventually catapulting their career into fame and popularity. Such was the case for Charice Pempengco, Arnel Pineda, Bogart The Explorer, Moymoy Palaboy, and the likes who were recognized by many as extremely entertaining and awe-inspiring.


Among the list of great YouTube discoveries is no other than Filipino Canadian multi-talented artist Mikey Bustos. That humorous shaved head guy, and so-called look-alike of RNB singer Kris Lawrence, who uploads “video tutorials” on just about anything with a showcase of Filipino culture like his famous Filipino Accent and Balut Eating tutorials. I guess nothing is stopping Mikey in having the top Filipino viral videos on YouTube.

 

In line with this,  Kris….I mean Mikey,…… launched his new video last night, October 11, 2012 while infront of a few top bloggers who were exclusively invited to the “intimate” launch of his new viral video entitled “Filipino Social Media Tutorial by Mikey Bustos”. It is actually Mikey’s 500th video on YouTube, so in celebration to this amazing feat, he is launching this new video with a big bang….hopefully to become one of the top YouTube featured videos.

Toilets Are Like Facebook

Tekkie Tekkie Muna (Relax, take it easy and unwind, manood ng videos – yung short movies lang para di ma-bore), have you seen the Facebook video ad?

Facebook is at the top of all social media networking. They are earning a great deal so it was expected that they would also be releasing epic advertisements because they have the dough to hire all the best creative people.




Facebook’s first video ad is a bit strange. It compares chairs to Facebook. Because, you know, reasons. Obviously. The video parody here uses slightly naughty language and shows people sitting on toilets, thus earning the NSFW label. But it’s funny. And ironically more accurate and insightful then the original.
