Vote (Wisely) Early Tru 7-Eleven's "7-Election Campaign"

The Daniel Padilla

I was scanning TV shows yesterday afternoon and I caught Daniel Padilla on The Buzz. Boy Abunda was just telling this kid that it seems like everyone adores him - mother, father, grannies, kids, teens and even boys of his age.Ha, so it is true.

SumoSam, Olympia: The Old Bar is Now a Sushi Bar

On the way to the new Sumosam Olympia branch, I kept on asking my blogger friends where exactly was the venue. They kept on referring to the old Robot bar (that bar which was owned by Tim Yap).
