Movie Review: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Category: Animation Genre: Childrens Rated: PG Review: I watched this movie in 3D last Sunday. I had fun watching it, i felt that i became a kid again for 90 minutes. Watching it made me feel hungry and full at the end of the movie. Love the 3d animation.. the raining of foods, the Gelo palace and the cutee characters. The storyline is simple but it has some good lessons in life. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a good movie to unwind and laugh. Kids will definitely enjoy. Better watch this in 3D.

My dinner.. breakfast meal

This was my first time to try Eggs Ben for my dinner at Coffee Bean. They offer an all day breakfast set with your choice of coffee, tea of juice. Eggs Ben has a Rosemary Foccacia bread with cheese, Turkey ham, poached egg, Hollandaise sauce, another 2 slices of bread, some butter and jam, stewed fruits and a cup of coffee for php229. An additional of php50 for the coffee upgrade. I upgraded mine to Cafe Latte. Although it is a bit pricey, it's all worth it and delicious.

Dulce de Leche Cake

Currently, I'm craving for Red Ribbon's Dulce de Leche Cake. The last time I ate this was Jack's birthday celebration at the office.

Based from Red Ribbon's web site http://www.redribbonbakeshop.com.ph:

Dulce de Leche
Heavenly layers of white chiffon cake with custard cream filling, enrobed in luscious sweetened milk and caramel icing. Wrapped in fine toasted chiffon crumbs and laden with a frosted caramel crystal layer: Gloriously crowned with white cream rosettes and chocolate spirals.

Taking IT to the Cloud

As we all know, Cloud Computing is the latest trend nowadays in IT. But Cloud Computing is very broad and vague in terms of definition that is why I'm so curious about it. Based from my research, a lot of companies have plans to move to the cloud because it offers a lot especially in business financial terms. A lot of cloud computing service providers offers a pay-per-use service. You will be billed based from the bandwidth you use.. it is cheaper than setting up your own infrastructure. But before moving your infra to the cloud, you should consider several risks such as data security and integrity, disaster recovery and etc. So better do some research. I really wanted to try Cloud Computing.. to have a hands-on experience in setting up an application so I can better understand it. Unfortunately, I don't have the means to get myself an account.. i wish there's a free account. I'm very thankful that there's an internet and google search. I found Thomas Bittman's blog very helpful. His blog gives a lot of information about cloud computing and it is worth reading for.

Just want to share.. http://blogs.gartner.com/thomas_bittman/
