Pupung and Friends Pinoy Fast Food Resto

Yesterday we went to Mall of Asia to watch Beowulf on IMAX cinema, we do not usually go there because we are living in Pasig and MOA is in Pasay, it is very far from our place. We were looking for a new resto to try and so we've seen Pupung and Friends accidentally, since I am not so familiar with MOA all I can remember is that this resto is beside an escalator and another new restaurant KKK.

The Food
We ordered Rib Eye Pork Steak which costs 125.00 including java rice and a glass of ice tea. We also ordered halo-halo.

They also offer, tapa, liempo, longanisa, bangus belly, bbq tuna in sticks, breaded porkchop.

For drinks, they have guinumis (cold drink with coconut milk), halo-halo and buko pandan. They also have green mango ensalada, tinuktuk??? and laing.

The Cost
An order of a meal would cost around 70-88 pesos, their highest price of food is the pork steak. Drinks costs aroubd 16-25 pesos for soda and ice tea.
Other sidings you could order for 10.00 or 15.00 or 25.00 like laing or pinakbet.
Extra rice cost 12.00 and java rice costs 16.00.

The Ambience

It looks a little crowded and they cannot accommodate all the people coming in so the tendency is to look for another restaurant nearby. Their design is a big tarpaulin on the wall of Pupung and Friends comics, plus they wrap another comics tarpaulin in one of the big posts. They even use it to decorate their lampshape with Pupung and Friends cartoons.

Service
It takes a while for your order to arrive, around 15-20 minutes, but if you ordered breaded porkchop it is readily available, if it needs to be barbequed you have to wait. Though we did not order porkchop, you can see it in their counter that it is already prepared. Maybe it is just their soft opening so they are a little slow.

The concept

Their menu is not new but their concept it, they named their food after the character in the comics, the decoration I think is original. They do not need a lot of advertisement because there is a lot of walk-in clients. They may be familiar with Pupung and Friends and the food is cheap.

Rating
I would give them a rating of 6 out 10, because I like what we ordered, but it is not a candidate for my favorite reataurant. You might just try it but nothing will make you come back, maybe the price or maybe if there is a long line in other resto.
The food is similar with Binalot and other street resto offering tapsi and breakfast meal. Maybe in one year they need to add, french fries, spaghetti, carbonara, and other food and maybe name it Pupung and Friends in Italy or France or America so you can order a burger. Hehehehe.

Pinoy Big Brother-Mariel


Among the housemates, kay Mariel ako nagagandahan, she has this natural flawless beauty . She seems childish though and sometimes she seems innocent that some people would find very "maarte". And I've been reading my social psychology book and according to it really looks are really deceiving, it is hard to judge someone, lalo na you have preconceived ideas. Meaning you've heard something about this person and it affects your perception of that person. We also could have different opinions for a single thing, some of you may agree with what I said about Mariel and some would disagree and some are just neutral.

The Long Wait is Over for PayPerPost

Yesterday, I was so so tired and wanted to rest, truly after feeling down for a while you will have good news. The good news is... *drum roll please* PayPerPost approved my blog! Yeheeey! I can write anything about any topic I want and get paid for it too. I just hope that I can find some time to write, I have some free time because my class is only on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thurdays and Saturdays.

Isn't that amazing! It's like the whole universe is conspiring to give me time to post some paid blog ads.

I've been reading a lot about payperpost and I was almost close to giving up when it came unexpectedly. There are some mommy bloggers out there that I know like Peachy and Aggie that are already earning and some are stay at home moms and they get excited everytime they get an approved opportunity.

I've been reading their blog and really find it hard to believe that by signing with PayPerPost and write about blog ads they can save and buy good stuffs for them.

Really, it pays so I thought that maybe I should try it too. You just need a paypal account so PayPerPost can pay the bloggers or posties for payperpost members. I never hesitated to try and be a member since I've been reading about it and they actually get paid.

I also read some blogs waiting for their approval from PayPerPost, well, do not lose hope, keep on trying and write on your blog, who knows one of these days, you'll check your mail and find that your blog is also approved. What are you waiting for? Sign up for PayPerPost now!

Tiring, Tiring So Tiring Day

Bad Day today, so tired of walking, I enrolled in my masteral course and took two subjects, I have to go several stairs up and go down again and then route my clearance sa library, accounting, clinic and finally sa Graduate School. *Sigh* Nakakainis pa yung service namin, iniwan ba naman ako kasi nagbayad ng nawasa nila, grabe, eto na naman ako, na disillusioned na naman, as if hindi ako sanay sa mga ganito. Wala lang kasi yung mga taong akala mo na matitino, yun pala may mga katarantaduhan rin na tinatago, sana hindi mo na lang madidiscover diba?

Kainis talaga, gobyerno talaga, rationalization ko na lang, it happens everywhere, kahit din ako ginagawa ko rin siguro yun, kaya huwag na lang akong magdamdam. Nakakainis lang...

Tapos kung kelan ka pagod saka ka gagawa sa bahay, haay, wrong timing.. ang hirap pala noh...

Review: The Excelsior Spa - Galleria-ear candling




*******FOR THOSE WHO ARE STILL NOT CONVINCED THAT THIS PROCEDURE IS HARMFUL, LET ME REMIND YOU THAT MY EARS WERE BURNED AS CERTIFIED BY THE DOCTOR.I'VE SEEN IT FROM THE EENT'S MONITOR MY EAR LOOKS LIKE A PART OF A BARBECUE..****

Service

We tried the Egyptian Ear Candling Technique that is suppose to relieve people from swimmers ear, fatigue, headache and cold. They claimed it is also helpful in removing hardened ear wax and would help you hear better.

Cost
The Ear candling costs around 700.00 for a 30 minute back massage and 15 minute each ear for the ear candling.

Procedure

After the massage, they will insert a cone candle into your ear, it is around 9-12 inches long, they would then insert a board down the candle near the ear to prevent the candle residue from pouring over your ear. Imagine in a procession, to prevent burning your hand you will put a cardboard right?



This is supposedly what is inside your ear, we did saw these things and "believed" that it is the earwax from our ear.

Advantage
The massage is relaxing, the spa is cozy, it makes you sleepy, the facilities are clean and it has a sauna and bath.

Disadvantage
Caution, the whole procedure literally burned our ear! We have to see a doctor the next day because of a very hurtful ear. I even have to take an antibiotic because I got an infected ear from the burn. I even have to buy two kinds of eardrops, one for the taking out the remnants of the candle to make it loose and one for the infection.

Imagine, I was taking CELEBREX which costs 70 each to take away the pain.

The Medical City

We went to The Medical City this morning and the service elevator was not working, if you parked at the basement, you have to wait in line to ride the elevator, ang haba ng pila. We were on B2 so pagdating pa lang sa floor namin wala nang space kaya pinasasakay na kami going down even if we are going up. So ang nangyayari, sa B3 puno na rin, no way na makakasakay pa ang nasa B2. I have to go to HMI to have my thyroid checked baka kasi isa siyang cause ng miscarriage ko eh. Kaya lang all the doctors are for appointment only, kaya tatawag pa ako sa Monday to schedule my checkup.
