Idle time is something I can’t stand. I’d rather be eating than be idle. That’s why I’m game, set and match to try any new activity, learn a new skill or pick up a new hobby. The only time I can sit still is when I’m watching a movie. And even then, I’d still be eating.
Growing up exposed to all kinds of films available to me at my Tita’s video store, I became a movie fanatic. In college, I would not let a week go by without watching at least one or two movies –if not, all that’s showing. My boyfriend (MB) then also loved catching the latest flick. Greenbelt 3 Cinema was our favorite for a number of reasons but firstly, the concessionaires can deliver food inside the theater.
We’d get lemon grape juice and corn dog from Muscle Beach, some Wrapwich (which I think we’ve tried all variants), Wasabi popcorn and Wasabi Tofu Chips (and almost everything on their menu) from Taters, burgers from Sliders, and potato skins from Tender Bobs with cheese sauce and sour cream.
He’d even walk to Segafredo just to get me my Margherita or Napoletana pizza with a request of a slightly toasted crust. Yes, I eat pizza inside the cinema. One whole box. And yea, even rice sometimes. I simply cannot let dimness get in the way. Others follow their heart, I follow my craving.
Munchtown opened at the Cinema level of Greenhills Promenade and I got pretty excited since a brilliant mind is behind it, Chef Robby Goco. I can’t deny the fact that I’ve frequented (became my 2nd home) the restaurants that have opened with him at the helm.

Fresh Igorota Idaho potatoes with rock salt, black pepper, bacon bits, paprika, chili flakes, sour cream, dill and cream cheese
Love the fresh French fries where each is covered fairly with the wet ingredients. The specks of red from the paprika and green from the dill add a bit of appeal while the meat candy, that is bacon bits, added the charm.

The Appren-tease in Jesse James Blindsided Sandra Bullock
I really liked Apprentice Celebrity Season 1 a lot and loved the clever Piers Morgan and his biting (but objective) tongue in it. I caught several reruns of Apprentice Celebrity Season 2 and was intrigued by it despite not having as many strategic players as the first one. Jesse James, 40, had a cool stance during the whole season and maintained his stand on not using his wife’s connections to get more money for their team projects.
Sandra Bullock, 45, was freshly minted with the coveted Oscar best actress awards several weeks back. Nowadays, she’s back in the limelight but not for her acting chops in Blind Side, but because of Jesse James’ infidelity. Not only with one woman –but with FOUR others.
The news broke when Michelle McGee told In Touch, she and James had unprotected sex once a week during their 11-month romance. Soon after, more women came out dishing about their affairs with James.
Sandra Bullock broke her silence to People Magazine and denied reports that there’s a sex tape with her and husband Jesse in it. “There is no sex tape. There never has been one and there never will be one.” Other than that statement, Bullock has remained quiet about her current relationship status with James. Many speculate that she will file for a divorce.
Meanwhile, Jesse James also denied Internet rumors of a sex tape. He said in a statement, “There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way. This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.”
His lawyer reports that James is struggling to get back into Sandra’s good graces. “When all is said and done, he wants the same people who were living in his house before all this happened to still be living there,” his attorney, Joe Yanny, said in a statement Monday. “And he wants to save his marriage with the woman he loves more than anything in his life.”
Ricky Martin is Gay
After so many years of keeping his personal life private, Latin pop star Ricky Martin admits in his book that he is gay. In his official Website, Martin says that writing his memoir and his twins are what made him go public about his homosexuality.
“I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.” I think not a lot of people were surprised but it’s still a brave thing to come out in the open.
So Mr. PJ, when are you writing your book? 🙂
