Online buys: Bag Organizer vs Kangaroo Keeper

I recently bought two bag organizers on ebay to keep all my things in place when I carry them in my bag. This is ideal especially if you have a large bag that doesn't have many compartments like Longchamp. The first one I bought is the "Kangaroo Keeper". This only costs P100 and it already comes in set of 2 (one is bigger than the other). You can place the small one inside the bigger one in order to have more storage space. The fabric is same as the one used in umbrellas. It indeed has a lot of compartments but what I didn't like is that the size of each compartment is too small, it can hardly fit my phone. Because of that, I have a hard time pulling out my things.

So I decided to purchase another one. I found this also on ebay. It didn't have a brand name, the seller simply calls it "Bag Organizer".  It costs higher than KK at P495 but the quality is so much better. The material is sturdy enough to stand on its own. It has 16 compartments and can easily fit two cellphones, tablet, wallet, IDs,  keys, small documents, pens, hand sanitizer, etc! I so love it!

For running aficionados out there, here's a unique run that you will surely enjoy. Outbreak Manila gives you - "Outbreak BGC". It is unique because you will be chased by scary ZOMBIES! I've seen the news about this when it was held in Nuvali and UP (I think) and it looks like so much fun. They really put "FUN" in the word fun run! Even a non-runner like me wants to try it. :)

Outbreak BGC will be held on July 28, 2012 at Bonifacio Global City. Head on over at selected Toby Sports (Shangri-la, SM North Edsa and Mall of Asia) and Runnr branches (Alabang Town Center and Bonifacio High Street) to register. Registration fee is P800.

Fathers' Day Celebration at Zong, The Fort

We celebrated fathers' day at Zong, The Fort. I've always heard good praises for this restaurant that's why we decided to try it out.

Zong offers Chinese cuisines but you'll be surprised that the interior doesn't have the usual red walls or red table cloths you would usually find in a Chinese resto. They are trying to exude a modern ambiance which i believed they achieved.

We ordered Yang Chow Fried Rice, wanton soup, stir fried cuttlefish, fried chicken in salted egg yolk and roast platter. Price ranges from P300-P400+ which is reasonable considering the serving size. One dish is enough for 3 persons.

We started off with wanton soup which is absolutely yummy! everyone loved it including my 1 year old baby. If the soup is this good, we cannot wait to try the main dishes.

 Wanton Soup

All the dishes we ordered did not disappoint as well. The stir fried cuttlefish which is tender and tasty came with my fave broccoli.

The fried chicken in salted egg yolk served with prawn crackers is so crunchy and juicy it tastes like chicharon. Although i didn't notice the salted egg batter, the chicken still came out delicious.

Roast platter is a combination of roast chicken, duck, pork and century egg.

The only thing i didn't like is their iced tea because it's too sweet for my taste.

By the way, we're lucky because since it's fathers' day, all dads that dined were given a free golf umbrella! Yay!

Overall, we have added zong on the list of our favorite restaurants. Go ahead and try their delectable dishes. I can't wait to go back.

DROPBOX

For a person who loves  to take pictures from her phone, transferring it to different devices such as laptops without Bluetooth can be a drag. That's why I was ecstatic when I learned about an App called DROPBOX. It let's you access photos and videos stored  on your phone to any device with internet - be it desktop PC,  laptops or tablets! It was such  a life saver!

How about you? Have you used dropbox? Are there other  apps you'd like to recommend?

ONLINE BUYS: HANGING JEWELRY ORGANIZER

I found a multiple jewelry organizer at Forever On Sale. It only costs P100 and it can house up to 36 items! Check it out:

You can hang it at the back of your door, walls, cabinets, etc!  It has 4 big compartments at the bottom to accommodate larger items like necklaces although I wish they added another layer for that because 4 is not enough. ;) But it's still a great product overall.

NKOTBSB live in Manila June 3, 2012

I grew up listening to Backstreet Boys when I was in high school. I'm not ashamed to admit that I am a huge fan. That's why I couldn't pass up the chance to see them again when I heard they will be coming over to Manila for a one night concert with New Kids On The Block.

The show was amazing! It was one of the most fun concerts I've watched. I'm not too familiar with NKOTB songs but it doesn't matter, because watching the audience sing along with them are so much fun. BSB on the other hand have more recognizable songs and the crowd went crazy everytime they appear and perform. :)

Here are some of the photos I've taken last June 3, 2012 at the SM MOA Arena. I only used my cellphone camera, hence the low res poor pictures. :)
