Nokia 5310 XpressMusic

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

Three weeks ago, my girlfriend Resie showed to me a phone model that I can use as a substitute for my 3rd gen iPod because I wanted to buy a new mp3 player. My dad bought me that iPod 4 years ago and it’s battery life today decreased from 6-8 hours of play time to 3-4 hours. The phone she showed me is a Nokia cellphone being displayed on one of the cellphone retailers along Session. I really liked it because not only is it thin, it is also a Nokia 5310 XpressMusic, meaning it has dedicated buttons for mp3 playback. Another feature I liked on that phone is that it has a 2.0 megapixels for a camera, built-in radio and the best thing is that there are 2 colors of which I can choose from, blue and red. So we asked for the price and it costs PHP 4000! I immediately texted my dad to buy me that phone since it’s so cheap, it won’t hurt my dad’s pocket.

Pizza Volante - Pasta and Rice

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Pizza Volante does not only serve Pizza, they also serve Pasta, Fish, Lamb and Beef. Below the page are the food they serve. I only tried their Grilled Lamb and Porterhouse Steak and I must say they are delicious! The lamb is soft but the beef is softer. For their pasta, their meatball is really huge! The light is good for 1 person and the regular is good for 2 - 3 persons.

I haven’t tried any fish on their menu because, well… why eat seafood in Baguio City when Dagupan City is just 2 hours away? :)

Pizza Volante's Menu

I love pizza as much as Garfield loves lasagna. But my choices when I started loving pizza, during the times of mutant turtles, was too small. The only choices I had was Greenwich, Shakey’s and Giorgio’s. Giorgio’s is a restaurant in Dagupan City that offered a variety of pizzas before. I remember the pizza with corn kernels. I rarely go there since the family tradition of going out for lunch on Sunday faded away ever since my cousins went to college.

When I too had to be away from Dagupan to learn the effects of beer and exam, I bumped into a pizza place named Pizza Volante. I was amazed by the selection of their pizza! It’s also the place where I met my love, Resie Casem. So, for this post, it’s about Pizza Volante’s menu. So that people may know! and of course, so that call center agents and other pizza lovers here in Baguio won’t have to ride the taxi and reduce Carbon emissions and the best of all, they are open 24 hours!
