My “The Fat Belly Project” experience.


The Fat Belly Project restaurant is a family-owned restaurant that specializes in comfort food for the whole family. This restaurant has now available in different locations and I think it is currently expanding to have more. The Fat Belly Project restaurant's menu consists of dishes like chicken and rice, beef and rice, fried chicken, fried pork, and an American-style buffet.

Many businesses have come to realize the importance of customer service as it is seen as the pathway that leads to high revenue and high-profit margins. With a well-trained and knowledgeable customer service team, any business can increase its revenue, profit margins, and overall customer satisfaction. And when people make it known that they're unsatisfied with their experience, a company must take the necessary steps to offer an improved service.

This is not your average tourist trap. The Fat Belly Project restaurant in Baguio is, in fact, the worst restaurant that I have visited in the Baguio, Philippines. We booked earlier and informed the waiters that we will go back to the restaurant around lunchtime. We arrived around 12:30 pm and waited for an hour before they serve our orders. In addition, the service here is terrible. The staff members are rude and dismissive of their guests, and they are unwilling to help anyone to find a solution for their hunger pangs. The manager just hide in the

The Fat Belly Project restaurant should be avoided by everyone who cares about good food, good service, and a clean environment - this place has it all: bad service and bad food. It's not often that I leave a review, but this bad experience is worth it. The food was very bad, and the manager never came to apologize and just hides inside the kitchen.

4DX Theatre at Bonifacio High Street Central Square

Yesterday, our new company treated all the employees to movie and watched Jurassic World at Bonifacio High Street Central Square.

4DX allows a motion picture presentation to be augmented with environmental effects such as seat motion, wind, rain, fog, lights, and scents along with the standard video and audio. As such, theaters must be specially designed for and equipped with 4DX technology.

Ayalaland claims that its the Philippines' first 4DX Theatre that opens at Bonifacio High Street Central Square. But as far as I know, Enchanted Kingdom Rialto in Laguna offers 4DX Theater earlier than BGC Central Square.

Anyway, I already watched this movie last week so I already know the story.

Jurassic World Story
Twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, Isla Nublar now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, as originally envisioned by John Hammond. After 10 years of operation and visitor rates declining, in order to fulfill a corporate mandate, a new attraction is created to re-spark visitors' interest, which backfires horribly.

Even though I already watched the movie, it was still a fun experience with my colleagues.

Tacsiyapo release your anger!

Are you angry? Hurt? Or just want to release your anger?

Then the Tacsiyapo wall of Isdaan located in Tarlac Philippines is the perfect place to release all that anger! We went there again on our way to Baguio to eat breakfast before we head out to our up north road trip. I first visited Tacsiyapo at Isdaan Restaurant way back 2008. Now other parts of the restaurant have also been developed like the angry birds and this elephant.

“Tacsiyapo” means is a local cuss word which means “P_tang Ina” in Tagalog and “Son of a B_tch” in English. Tacsiapo is a special area in Isdaan Restaurant where you can buy mug, plates and other things like radio and TV and trow it to Tacsiyapo Wall. The wall was specially built for individuals who want to release their anger by throwing those things to the wall.

Instead of actually uttering a vulgar word at your enemy, you can just throw any ceramic item at the wall and use your imagination that you are smashing those items to your enemy! The items that you can throw on the wall are NOT free. Price range of the items starts at around 15 Pesos for a mug or a saucer, 18 Pesos for a bowl, 35 pesos for a big plate, 150 pesos for a pitcher, and the most expensive is the T.V. which costs around 2 thousand pesos!

The Tacsiyapo wall is well labeled with people’s description such as well-hated “mother/father in Law”, “ex-wife/husband”, “ex-girlfriend/boyfriend”, “alcohol, and other bad habits”, “casino”, “high-blood, arthritis”, “creditor/debtor”, “magnanakaw (thief)” and even your annoying officemates or your boss and many more. There’s even a special wall for the Isdaan restaurant employees to release their stress from annoying customers and from the looks of the wall it seems that they haven’t used it at all.

If you are really carrying that much anger inside you then you may even get tempted to buy the Television to smash it on the wall. Talking about anger management!

Netizens are abuzz again because of these two insensitive people who dont know how to shut their mouth especially if they dont have anything good to say!

How many times have I heard the lines "Think before you click!" and it seems that these two dont have enough gray matter to think twice before they publish such evil and heartless tweets!

You want fame? You have it! Now face the wrath of the Netizens!
