Round table talk with Fernando Zobel de Ayala and Globe's Ferdinand Dela Cruz

written by Azrael Coladilla

Me and Lace attended a round table talk, meeting and interview with Fernando Zobel de Ayala and Globe's Ferdinand Dela Cruz, the round table is for the Globe-Ayala Land City Run for Habitat for Humanity. Globe launches its first ever running event – RUN FOR HOME: Globe-Ayala Land City Run for Habitat for Humanity – that will support the development of a community especially for the settlers of Ilog Pasig.

The Run for home event will be on July 19, 2009 at the Bonifacio Global City. Participants can register at the site www.globe.com.ph/runforhome or at participating Globe Business Centers and Fitness First branches in Metro Manila or at the satellite booth on the event itself. It has a courses for runners of all ages and levels of experience. There are four runs: the 3-kilometer, 5-kilometer, 10-kilometer and 21-kilometer runs.

Ferdinand Dela Cruz of Globe shared to us that The Run for home event also introduces to us the micro chip device that will be carried by the runner, so that every stats and points done by the runner will be recorded into the computer for better monitoring of each stats, also the even has a booth for bloggers and photographers in which they can upload and post their pics at the Pixlink's site or web blogs with the use of Globe Broadband Tattoo.

at the interview Mr. Zobel de Ayala told us that he will join the run for home event, and he also shared to us that they are working on with Globe for another event called the IRON MAN, another event that involves runners and sounds like more than a triathlon event. With the technology that is being developed and applied, the running sport is now being upgraded and well promoted by the use of the campaign for helping people build homes and this serve as an awareness for both sport and the cause. Its great to meet Mr. Zobel de Ayala as he said to Lace, "wow! you are introduced as a blogger!, that is awesome!" hahhaa because me and Lace were the only bloggers introduced at that time and most of the attendees are traditional medias.


Its a fun event meeting with great people that is helping our nation with these cool activities and events.

written by Azrael Coladilla

A new branch of Greenwich just opened at Robinsons Galeria and the blessing and official launching of the fast casual dining store was held yesterday and was attended by bloggers, media, guests and the celebrity endorser of Greenwich - John Lloyd Cruz.

The store was blessed by the priest and after the blessing ceremony we ate good food from Greenwich, I got introduced to their new selection of cakes and I'm surprised that they have now a Brazo de Mercedes cakes and a Fit n right drinks. The baked beef rice is so good, that makes me do the lasagna as my ulam with rice, its kinda weird but it tastes so good lasagna and rice hahaha.

John Lloyd Cruz entered the Greenwich and was mobbed by the fans and the media. Many people were starstruck to see the celebrity actor endorser. Me and Lace got a time to have a talk and interview with John Llyod, Lace did a video interview and will be posted in her blog styleandrelax.net

Happy Birthday KRISPY KREME! @ boni high street

written by Azrael Coladilla

Krispy Kreme just celebrated its 72nd birthday this July 13, 2009. The branch at Bonifacio High street was attended by our friends and bloggers who just celebrated the birthday doughnut party for the whole day. The rain falls so heavily that day, but we just enjoyed our selves with hot and cold drinks and number of rounds of different kinds of doughnuts. I almost cried the night before the event, because I know that I'll be eating delicious and yummy doughnuts, and I did cried after munching a chocolate glazed, and then took home one box of pure yummy treats.

I enjoyed the free wifi at that time, and also got a great chat with fellow bloggers which we shared something about our work, life, blogging life and the upcoming Harry Potter movie. And because that Krispy Kreme is celebrating its 6 dozen of years, they just launched a contest called "Krispy Kreme Fave Fan", One fan in every country will be selected by votes, when they upload a photo and a 72 word caption, and the winner will receive a one year supply of Krispy Kreme and also a doughnut designed named after you, and also a trip to the Krispy Kreme HQ in USA.


Wow, I want to have a Krispy Kreme doughnut named after me hehehehe. So I guess its the battle and search for the one and only super fan of Krispy Kreme. for details of this event contest visit www.krispykremefavefan.com . Submission of entries is from July 13 to September 30.

Industry first with Dell's 10.1 inch Education Netbook

written by Azrael Coladilla

I grew up with Dell and my first laptop ever in my life is a Dell latitude laptop, and I love Dell still now and I wish to own again a Dell laptop in the future. And check out the new model released here in the Philippines, its the Dell 10.1 inch Education Netbook - Latitude 2100. The Netbook is perfectly designed for elementary and high school students, with features like touch screen, rubber casing, webcam and a Network Activity Light on the lid helps teachers monitor network use and identify students who may be surfing the Internet.

read more below to know more about Dell Latitude 2100

“Student-rugged” Latitude^TM 2100, first ever education netbook equipped with optional touchscreen is inspired by elementary and high school students’ needs

Manila, Philippines– Dell believes every child should have the opportunity and tools to learn the skills necessary to succeed in the digital world. Critical to this is the availability of technology designed for the unique needs of elementary and high school students, teachers and school administrators.

Dell set a new standard in education technology with the launch of a netbook influenced by the needs of students, the Latitude 2100. The Latitude 2100 is also ideal for any business or public institution that needs affordable, durable internet-ready device for email and collaboration.

Inspired by close cooperation with hundreds of students, teachers, parents and administrators, Dell designers created a purpose-built education netbook that focuses on what’s most important – learning.
The Latitude 2100 is part of Dell’s connected classroom ― innovative technology products, services, software and training that make learning in the digital age a reality. With the Latitude 2100, students can access enhanced learning resources and digital content on a school network or via the Internet. As a result, the Latitude 2100 blends into student life, from lesson plans to homework, increasing time spent learning versus managing technology.

“The Latitude 2100 shows that Dell thinks about, cares about, and designs products with education in mind,” said Paul Bell, president of Dell’s global public sector division. “This system is an extension of our efforts to support educators as they transform technology access in classrooms worldwide. We will continue to respond quickly to their needs and work with governments to deliver technology that modernizes education, excites students and arms them with the skills they need to succeed in the digital age.”

The Latitude 2100, which comes in bright primary colors is designed to absorb the daily bumps and bruises of a crowded playground or backpack. Its “four-square-ball-style” rubber casing also makes it easy for little hands to carry and use the netbook safely. It offers wireless connectivity that can be monitored by the teacher with a Network Activity Light on the netbook lid. An optional touchscreen is a first for an education netbook and makes the Latitude 2100 a perfect choice for enhanced student interaction, assessment, and for special education teaching. The Latitude 2100 also offers administrators a range of services making it easier to deploy and manage.

Additional options include: solid-state drives, quick-connect handles and shoulder straps for carrying, and a webcam. The Latitude 2100 is backed by Dell’s award winning business service and support.

The Latitude 2100 extends Dell’s Latitude range and joins the Latitude XT tablet and semi rugged Latitude ATG as systems designed to meet the exacting needs of customers across a range of private and public-sector organizations with specific mobile computing requirements. Enterprises and public-sector customers looking for a business-class netbook will be attracted to the Latitude 2100 for activities ranging from employee training to order fulfillment or when a secondary system is required by their workforce.

· The Latitude 2100 also includes: (may vary depending on country)

o Choice of XP Home, Vista Home Basic and Linux Ubuntu

o Intel Atom processor N270

o 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity coupled with a full suite of wireless communication options

o 2.91lb* (1.32kg) starting at weight with 3-cell battery

o Hard or solid state drives for increased durability

o Three-cell or six-cell battery

o Three-in-one Media Card Reader

o Optional External DVD+/-RW via USB

o VGA port

o Clean bottom is vent-free to avoid any intrusion from spills

o Options: webcam

· Key management features can allow IT administrators to lower overall ownership cost and help speed up deployment:

o More durable design that means a longer product life

o Remote management for easier administration

Playboy Philippines July 2009

written by Azrael Coladilla

Playboy Philippines Magazine is back again for July 2009. And it looks like that their issue this month is a school campus or back to school theme. Issue is filled with interview features with Shia LaBeuof of Transformers and Zachary Quinto of Heroes and Star Trek, its kinda a geeky issue but added more of babes and techy articles with Miss July Jem Milton.

The cover of the magazine is weird, it didnt show any face of the cover girl. Looks like that the cover girl is the Playmate,hmm..

Read more below and see the content for this month of July and check out a photo of Miss July - Jem Milton.

ACADEMICALLY SPEAKING

As students settle back into their academic routines following one of the (alternatively) hottest and wettest summers in local memory amid scares of so-called swine flu and a questionable (at best) attempt to rewrite the Constitution, there’s something comforting in knowing that PLAYBOY is still here, ever dedicated to providing our readers with the best in men’s lifestyle that they’ve come to expect. A recent poll of the office revealed that, for the most part, the PLAYBOY Philippines family had a great time in college, and it’s in that spirit of fun and broadening one’s horizons that they dedicate the July issue. From Playmate of the Month Jem Milton’s scholastically-inclined pictorial to our look at casual wear on campus, to a refreshingly candid (if absolutely insane) Interview with Transformers star Shia LaBeouf, 20 Questions with Star Trek and Heroes’ Zachary Quinto and an entertainingly illuminating shoot by Marc Ecko, this issue is PLAYBOY’s way of officially bringing a close to the summer. School was never this fun.


ADAM PENN
Editor-in-Chief



CONTENTS

Look Back in Blue
One of the great bastions of education in the Philippines, the Ateneo de Manila turned the ripe-old age of 150 this month. Here, New York-based writer Luis Francia’s pays tribute to the school that produced the likes of Jose Rizal, Gregorio Del Pilar and Ninoy Aquino

Peep Culture
Writer Hal Niedzviecki explores the seven facets of the burgeoning trend of living cyberlife in a proverbial fishbowl—peep culture.

Cover Stories
What exactly makes a PLAYBOY cover? Should it just be limited to, well, pretty women? Take a peek into what makes yours truly stand from the rest. Gentlemen, behold the fun little mystery that is the PLAYBOY cover.

The Sexual Male Part I
If anyone knows anything at all, it would be PLAYBOY US Associate Editor Chip Rowe. And if you know what’s good for you gents, you’d want to hear this unorthodox lecture on your little swimmers.
Shia LaBeouf
The Transformers star scrimps on nary a spicy word as he talks about his unorthodox childhood, raging hormones on the set of Charlie’s Angels 2 and what it’s like to not sleep with Megan Fox.

Zachary Quinto
Between playing the deliciously evil Sylar on Heroes or reprising the most logical entity in Trekkie lore, Zachary Quinto’s arrival at the scene is beyond question. PLAYBOY sits him down for a quick and dirty 20Q.

Electric Ladyland
Renowned clothing designer, graphic designer and philanthropist Marc Ecko lets his inner little boy loose and directs his attention (and lenses) on every man’s fantasy: a bevy of PLAYBOY Playmates as our celebrity photographer. Zing!



Student Body
Class is back in session. And as such, we saw it only but just to bring you the best of what the student body can offer. Pay attention gentlemen, Ms. July 2009, Jem Milton will school you in foxy 101.

Campus Casual
Swine flu advisories and typhoons shouldn’t keep anyone from being stylish on campus. Ms. April Andrea Shin and friends, shot by Jar Concengco, shows us how to keep things casual, yet fashionable.

Collegiate Cool
We pay a visit to the type of college crib we wish we’d had back in the day; the kind of place where we could hit the books (or bottles) at our convenience. Ali Zanjani’s opened his doors to PLAYBOY to show us what we were missing.

For more updates, please visit www.playboyph.com or text/call 0917-PLAYBOY for more info.

TriNoma Digital 3D Cinema (my review)

written by Azrael Coladilla

I already began choosing the right cinema for me, and to enjoy more the movie experience, I sometimes plan myself in watching my movie in a good cinema. I always look for the best seat interior, a good screen, great audio system, nice air conditioning, good and quality service, and a place were there are good people watching in it. These are some of my basic points for having the perfect cinema and movie experience. Most cinemas are okay to me, but I always complain the bad screen and the unbalanced audio system, it kinda sucks sometimes that it ruins your movie moments and its hard to re-tune yourself if there are blurry screens in some scenes and low audio quality.

There are some great cinemas on my list and one of the top list are the Ayala cinemas, and now I got introduced to their new cinema that rivals the IMAX theater, and its called the TriNoma Digital 3D Cinema, it just not the same with IMAX, but there's this 3D feature that allows to experience 3D visuals with a help of wearing a 3D glasses, the glasses are not the same as IMAX and it features the red and blue colors in the 3D glasses. Much more different and it is the conventional type of 3D that is being used in the past, but add the digital visuals and audio that it will make the 3D more enjoyable and fun to watch it.

Read more my review below


Here's the screen and layout of seats of TriNoma Digital 3D Cinema. This cinema is located in their Cinema 4 and the layout looks perfect. We watched the movie Ice Age 3 in 3D and we were seated in the front or 1st row of the theater. I enjoyed watching it in the front and it doesn't make me feel dizzy or my vision be blurry because we are infront of it. I like cinemas that has a good seat locations, especially this one. They can accommodate everyone and seats will be occupied and get a good movie experience. The screen is big and the size is right for the whole theater. I haven't tried yet in watching the movie and seat in the middle of the theater or at the top. But I know the experience will be more great seating in the middle and top row.


Putting that wall block infront of the 1st row is very helpful, people who are seating in the front won't be distracted by people walking infront and it covers our eyes and elevate our heads and concentrate more on the screen. The seats are comfy and I like the system of converting two seats into a couple seat, by just raising that armchair. Also seats with cup holders are a plus points. I placed my Fish and Co. food on it and the large drinks on the other side of my seat. And after eating, we converted it into a couple seat.


This leather couch chair is placed in top row of the cinema theater, I just don't know what it do, I'm not sure if it wiggles ( hahaha), but looking at it from this picture and the word "comfy" comes in and I might fell asleep if ever I seated in here.


This is the 3D glasses that we used in watching the movie Ice Age 3 in 3D, the glasses is color black and it looks like a plastic version frame of the regular 3D glasses that is being distributed years ago, I think the movie Spy Kids got the 3D glasses when you watched it and I remember that watching the movie Freddy's dead requires you 3D glasses. The new age of 3D glasses is here and I hope that it applies to all movies. This will work perfectly in live action movies.


7 cinemas to choose from the TriNoma cinema, and it features the state of the art theater system that is equipped in every cinema, Dolby surround sound and Cinema 7 is one of the six movie theatres in the Philippines that are THX certified. In TriNoma’s Cinema 4, moviegoers will get the same multi-sensory bliss wherever they are in the theatre – at the front row or at the back. It will also recreate the feel of a movie studio so people will get to see the film just like how the director meant it to be, down to the smallest details.


“Watching movies is a common interest shared by all Filipinos, both in the past and modern times. It’s a simple way to relax after a hard week’s work or just enjoy the company of family and friends,” says Amir Precilla, General Manager of Ayala Malls Cinemas. “At Ayala Malls Cinemas, we are constantly on the lookout for the latest innovation to give our patrons a movie-watching experience that is relevant to their lifestyle.”

Lastly, the cinema’s dynamic ambience, spacious interiors, accessible location, and the exceptional customer service that Ayala Mall cinemas have been known for give every film aficionados more reasons to head back to TriNoma and enjoy for themselves an image-driven and rewarding time at the movies.

“We take the business of cinemas seriously. Show after show, we aim to give our patrons a movie-watching adventure that is worth their time, resources and effort,” adds Precilla.

So for dynamic and vibrant movie fanatics like you, let TriNoma’s Digital 3D Cinema take you to the next level of cinema entertainment with movies that spring to life.

What did I do during my birthday ?

written by Azrael Coladilla

I haven't posted a blog yet about my birthday last July 1, 2009, and because that I got sick for almost a week and didn't know that I acquired dengue in my body and just found about it days before my recovery, but I'm still here and alive and will post some updates on what good things had just happened to me during my natal day.

I celebrated my birthday party at home, not a super party, but just a simple eat out at home and invite Chris Aquino to come over here in Lace's house in Cavite, and since he lives in Dasma, its just a 30 min. jeep ride away from his home and he was here partying with us and eat good food cooked by Lace's Mama and watch these digital movies in our PCs ( heheheh) won't tell to you what movie haahah, but someone here did a marathon alone upstairs. Then a few minutes later, A Jollibee delivery man came here knocking at the door and delivered to me this cute Jollibee cake by Red Ribbon, I was surprised that I got a birthday cake,and since I dont have a cake at home, this just made my day complete. We set up the whole table over again with food and lit up the candles and I blow it all, and got a funny moment that the candles are not that easy to blow out, got a number of times of blow and my hardest part of blog didn't kill the fire, but then the cake cover helped me after using it to blow the candles, and all went up into a big smoke, hahahaa that's a great blooper for the party.

Then I left home and headed to Megamall to meet my sister and the duo RG and Cerbo, we ate at Sizzling Pepper Lunch and introduced to them the wonders of cooking your own kanin baboy ( hahah its an inside joke, hope you won't get offended or disgusted).



here's a funny video from the cellphone of my sister.

and then after the meal, we went to Starbucks in Megastrip to cool down and after my sister left us, the night became the all boys night out, hahahaha.. gotcha boys!

I still have one utang of an online party for everyone, and since that I got sick after my birthday and gone busy recovering, I will post soon here and at plurk the schedule of the online party that hopefully to be done by next week. Just stay tuned for updates. Its the 6th year online party. hehhee.

and for the thank yous
thanks again to my family, friends, online networks and ka-bloggers.

also thanks to Jollibee and Stratworks for the super cute cake
Amor Maclang and Geiser Maclang company for the fruits basket
Yehey.com and Superbowl of China for that advance birthday treat last week
and to those numerous Facebook friends who spammed my wall and profile with lovelots greetings.

Testing shot with Creamo

written by Azrael Coladilla

Some test shot using Olympus E520 with pet Siamese kitten "Creamo". All of our pet cats has their own photo shoot from the time they are born up to be all grown up. I just forgot to take a photoshoot with Creamo, our new kitten in the house after his mom Mocha Muning, and this will be his official photo shoot and will take more pics in the coming days. Sorry Creamo, I got busy badly last time, but we have good days during your kulitan days when you are some month old.
