Looking for a cozy place to eat and unwind?

The other night, I was finally able to drop by and try Red Roof Grill in Mandaluyong Shaw Blvd.

Its located along Shaw blvd. in front of Gig Guys Pizza and beside Dumlao Gym.




The place is literally open air conditioned. ( open air )



The place is cozy. Not that noisy and importantly not too expensive.



It is owned and operated by Gilmore Gourmet.




Parking is at the back. Good for about 5-7 cars.

On wednesdays, thursdays and fridays they have accoustic bands to spice up the night.



Food was good. Prices not too expensive. Staff were also friendly.



Here's a shot of their ice tea with mint leaves.






 




 

VOIP Calling Plans

With all the advances in technology nowadays, calling around the world have become very easy and affordable. Here are a couple that we have used extensively in the past.

Skype - offers unlimited calling plans to a lot of countries around the world. It offers unlimited calling to the USA for both landlines and mobile phones.( unlimited in the sense that you do not exceed 10,000 minutes per month or call 50 different numbers per day.)

Skype also offers online numbers which you can subscribe for a fee, so that people from the country you subscribed to can call you back. It even offers numbers per state in the US.




Yahoo Messenger - YM also offers calls to countries, but no unlimited calling plans.


Magicjack - As far as we know - magicjack only has unlimited calls to the US and also includes an online number. Check the fine print with magicjack. As far as we know they already have a limit to the calls you can make. One drawback of the earlier version is that you need to attach the magicjack to a PC.

* Magicjack plus - no need for a PC anymore - just plug in to your router and attach your phone.




GoAutodial - is a voip provider that has 2 options - a public and a private option. Try it now - the public option provides free 120 mins for a test. They also offer A-Z calling options.

 

Great Coffee Place in Tagaytay

There's this great place in Tagaytay to have coffee. With great ambiance and great food. That place is called Bag of beans. They have 2 branches in Tagaytay. Each place has its own charisma and charm. Offering a different type of ambience.






The newer branch is located just after the rotunda beside BPI. The attraction here that most people like is the view overlooking Taal volcano.






The original branch is just a short drive after Mendez crossing on the right side. Parking is at the back just after the entrance of the store. Here, the attraction is the cozy set up of the shop. with gazebos and pavilions open for use for the customers. With strategically placed bird cages around the coffee area.






I guess this is the main branch, since this was the 1st one I ever went to. For those old timers and loyal customers who have been coming back for more in the last decade or so, you will notice that there have been a lot of changes in the surroundings.

And if you're lucky, you might be there when this great children's choir visit for a quick performance

For coffee addicts, they offer bottomless coffee for their BARAKO and house blend selections. Bag of Beans also currently offers buffet lunch.

Windows Antivirus Care VIRUS

Theres a new virus in town and it calls itself Windows Antivirus Care. Be careful. It usually pops up as a screen when you're using mozilla or IE and scans your computer and scares you with fake infected items in your PC.

 

It will ask you to download and set it up. Be careful. Once installed, you wont find it in your programs folder to uninstall it. It will also automatically turn off your current anti - virus programs and firewalls and hijack all control of your PC.




 

It will keep on sending pop ups scaring you that your pc is infected with a lot of viruses and ask you the buy the full program online.

 

It will also prevent you from reactivating your antivirus programs along with your firewall.

It seems that its a very new kind of virus as when I searched the internet, most of the blogs on how to remove it was just a couple of hours old. Another thing is that most of the blogs will tell you how to remove it by downloading various kinds of programs to remove it.




Well, I'm no techie, but all I did was restore my pc to an earlier point ant everything was fixed. (though, I'm not a 100% sure about it, but so far everything works again, including my firewall and antivirus programs.)

Tagaytay!

Tagaytay City, One of the most visited places in the Philippines.




A place where both Local and foreign tourists like to visit. About an hours drive away from Manila. Its easy to get there if you have your own car. Just take SLEX and exit at Sta. Rosa and from there turn right and follow the road.

Before you get to Tagaytay, you might want to stop by Nuvali. With its fishpond full of Koi. Besides the pond, you can also have a short boat ride.

Tagaytay City is full of places to go and things to do. Restaurants are found all over the place. As well as hotels, everything depends on your available budget.

One small nice place I found was the Papa Prito restaurant. Small, cozy and affordable. It is located on the right side( if you're going up to Tagaytay ), along the rotunda.

And some talent in finding work.

 

As mentioned in earlier blogs, a lot of stay at home moms and dads have started working at home as part time call center agents or representatives. Making or receiving calls from and to other parts of the world has become increasingly easy thanks to the advances in technology.

But, a lot of people don't know that you can also work at home as a writer or blogger. A lot of articles coming out in the internet are made by work at home professionals. Even some articles being printed under the name of someone else usually was written by a work at home professional.



Blogging is a lucrative and well paying home based job for a lot of people. Rates vary from 3 usd for about 100 words to as high as 100 usd per article depends on the topic.

And for those really hardcore bloggers, they also earn from ads in their blogs. Companies pay to advertise on websites that have a high traffic rate on a daily basis. Especially those websites that have their own mailing list.




So, do you have the talent for writing?
