IKEA JUST TOLD ME: “YOUR 10-YEAR WARRANTY IS VOID IF YOU ASSEMBLED IT YOURSELF.”

So does that mean their 10-YEAR WARRANTY is just marketing BS? IKEA sells furniture designed for self-assembly, yet denies coverage if you assemble it yourself.

Details to follow

Globe Telecom and Samsung sent me the latest Samsung Z Fold 6 fresh off its launch! Time to see if this foldable phone and Galaxy AI live up to the hype!

🚀 Ready, set, boost!

Thank you Eyes Manila!!!

We all know rubbing our eyes is a big no-no, but this? This is the ultimate, recommended way to give your eyes the care they desperately need.��Living this crazy digital life, you know the drill: constant battles with eye strain and dryness from being perpetually glued to screens. During my most hectic week – juggling video editing, online classes, and all my other chaotic activities – something felt off. My eyes were sluggish, resembling a slow internet connection hahaha. Initially dismissing it as mere fatigue, I soon realized it was a more pressing issue.

When I first tried Happy Eyes, Imagine the feeling of good warmth spreading over your eyes, there was this instant sensation of added moisture. it was like a rush of soothing relief – in a good way. �

So sa lahat who are always in front of screens, and feeling the eye strain, give Happy Eyes Warm Compress a try. It's more than just caring for your eyes; it's about improving your everyday life!

Me and my wife recently had this dinner experience at Buhay Ermitanyo here sa Iloilo City. Indi sya ang aton typical dinner scene;

Pagsulod namon sa Buhay Ermitanyo, we were greeted not just by the cozy ambience but by an invitation to a meditation session. This unique prelude to the meal was transformative - the meditation swept away the clutter of the outside world, leaving me guid on a state of profound peace. Grabe! My senses heightened, my mind cleared up, and my body feeling almost ethereal, I was perfectly attuned to the culinary wonders that lay ahead.

Hors d'oeuvre: Lychee Ceviche

Emerging from meditation, ang first course, Lychee Ceviche, was like a burst of sunrise on my palate. The sweet and plump lychee contrasted with the tangy marinade—making it a lot more extra with the hint of spiciness and grounding presence of seaweed. Taga kagat matilawan mo ang “harmonious” play of flavors. This is my new favorite! indi lg sya dish; it was a sensory awakening.

Appetizer: Potato Croquette with Bleu Cheese Sauce

The Potato Croquette with Bleu Cheese Sauce was next, a dish that tickled my heightened senses. The perfectly cooked crispy exterior complimented the melt-in-your mouth interior. The luxurious bleu cheese sauce added a rich, creamy dimension, making each mouthful a celebration of texture and taste.

Entree: Cheesy "Spam" Musubi
Then sunod ang Cheesy "Spam" Musubi, a dish so familiar but still brilliantly manages to surprise me. Ang ila homemade vegan "Spam" was astonishingly rich and satisfying, harmonizing beautifully with the indulgent, melty ‘notzarella’. This dish was pretty simple and yet it manifested the power of reinvention and culinary creativity.

Main: Ermitanyo "Chicken" Pot Pie
The Ermitanyo "Chicken" Pot Pie was a comforting embrace. The flaky crust and the creamy, rich filling with tender plant-based "chicken" created a symphony of textures and flavors. Each bite was a reminder of home, reimagined through a plant-based lens.

Dessert: Choco Carrot Cake a la Mode with 24k Gold
The meal culminated with the Choco Carrot Cake a la Mode, a luxurious dessert that glittered with 24k gold. The rich, moist cake paired with the sublime strawberry and cashew ice cream was a decadent treat, a perfect conclusion to this post-meditation culinary journey.

Throughout this experience, the warm and knowledgeable host, along with his wife—the exceptionally talented chef—ensured that each course was not just a dish but an experience told through flavors. Their passion for vegan cuisine shone through every element of the meal.

Buhay Ermitanyo offered more than just a dining experience; it was a journey of discovery, with hidden surprises that delighted and inspired. This wasn’t just a meal; it was a celebration of mindful eating and the joys of a heightened sensory experience.

Here's to the days when we can still go on a shoot without worrying about asthma. Many thanks to Emperador for having me.

Calma, this is a throwback post haha
