Las Paellas Cafe at the Galleria

These days I've been very busy reading inspirational books, listening to lots of songs, seeking inspiration for new materials and talking with old old friends. Every lunchtime, before I go to the office, I hang around  at Robinson's Galleria between 12-1pm (tip for my stalkers). After getting off the bus, I go straight to church to meditate and pray... afterwards, I  pass by Mercury Drug to get my daily dose of drugs (to keep me high hahaha!) then to National Bookstore to check out their new releases.

I've already visited quite a number of restos in this mall but I often find myself settling for this place because of its ambiance, a friendly waitress named Sher and ofcourse the variety of Spanish cuisine which they offer. I guess I haven't metioned before that my grandma is actually half Spanish (too bad I got my skin color from the Pinoy side but I love it anyway!) so I grew up in a house with servants, kusineras, hardineros hahaha no joke! I would sometimes hear my Lola speak in Spanish and I would often find her in the kitchen, preparing her signature dishes (those were the best days!).
 Lola influenced me in so many ways.. my love for food, cooking, the good life and partly in music as well 'coz every "siesta" (afternoon naps), she would either turn on the radio or play some old records on the turn table. Hahahah I remember I would often pretend to sleep 'coz failure to do so would mean no "merienda" (snack) Bwahahaha!

Anyway, this place reminds me of my Lola a lot that's why I feel really at home here. If  I'd have the chance to see Lola soon, I'd like to take her here. Too bad it's been a long time since I last saw her for our house is actually being guarded by a fierce evil dragon named .......hahahah secret! I heard my Lola is still fine though not as strong as before.. I think she's already 85yrs old. God I miss her sooo much! (huhuhu can't help it)

Ok ok, let me talk about the food....

Lapu lapu Fillet- 185 pesos
- Crispy Lapu-lapu fillets fried to perfection topped
  with a very flavorful safron mushroom sauce which
  compliments the fish well!


I know I've been on a strict no-rice diet lately but what the heck! This is really really good food we're talking about!
During my next visit I didn't feel like eating rice anymore so I tried their Spanish Chorizo Pizza
 This crispy paper thin crust pizza tasted like a million bucks! I'm a big fan of thin pizzas by the way! It's loaded with mozzarella, onions, garlic, olives and chorizo!
Oh before I forget, it costs around 190 pesos. I find it a bit costly for such a small pizza though..
hmmmm maybe next time, I can feature my very own pizza recipe! haha why not?Mine all mine!!!!!
Next time, I plan to order Fish and Chips, Spanish Adobo rice and ofcourse, I can't wait to try their Paellas!! It's good for 3-4 persons so I guess I'd have to invite some of my chums!
If you wanna join me, you're very much welcome! Just email me so we can set a date ok?!

Ciao!

The Power Of Words Over Water

Dear Readers,
Allow me to share this mind blowing discovery which has been inspiring me these past days...
To all of you who have read "The Secret," this I believe is the proof that our thoughts
are indeed very very powerful! May we all be aware that our thoughts and words have a profound
effect in our universe.
I took this from the blog of my favorite inspirational author, Bo Sanchez (http://bosanchez.ph/remove-the-lies-in-your-mind/) I recommend you visit and read his blog regularly. They're full
of wisdom and inspiring stories that will surely keep your spirits up!

The Power Of Words Over Water


Can water be affected by our words?

Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist, believes so.

And he has proof.

Dr. Emoto took water droplets, exposed them to various words, music, and environments, and froze them for three hours. He then examined the crystal formations under a dark field microscope. And he took photographs.


The results were totally mind-blowing.

Here’s a photo of ordinary water without any prayer spoken over it. The molecular structure is in disarray.




The photo below is water after the prayer was said. It’s simply breathtaking. (I now have a great respect for praying before meals! More on this later.)




Dr. Emoto also exposed water to Heavy Metal music. Here’s how it looks like. Looks sad if you ask me.


Here’s water exposed to classical music and folk dance music. Looks much better, right?




Next, Dr. Emoto stuck a piece of paper with these words: “You make me sick. I will kill you.” Here’s how the frozen water droplets looks like under the microscope…


Below is how water looked like with the words “Love” over it. The difference is amazing.



This is Polluted water…


This is water from Lourdes, France. Utterly beautiful, right?



Wait A Minute—




Aren’t You Made Up Of Water?

Yes! 72% of your body is made up of water.

Imagine how your words affect your own body.

When you say, “I’m a failure,” or “I’m hopeless,” or “I won’t get well,” imagine how these words weaken your health.

Make a choice to say the best words out there. Say often, “I’m wonderful,” and “I’m beautiful,” and “I’m God’s child,” and “God has a great plan for my life!”



It’s not only water.



Dr. Emoto also experimented with cooked rice.



He placed one cup of cooked rice in two airtight jars. On one jar, he wrote, “I love you,” and on the other, “You fool.” Everyday for 30 days, Dr. Emoto would say these words to each jar of rice.



After 30 days, the “I love you” rice was still white. But the “You fool” rice was so rotten, it was black. How can you explain this?




Just as a side note: When I was a child, my mother taught me to pray before meals. Now I realize it wasn’t just a nice thing to do. When I pray over my meal, I know a material transformation takes place in the molecular level of the food that I pray for. I say, “Be blessed,” to the water and food on the table—and I expect it to be blessed.






Can Water Read Or Listen To Words?



Yes and No.



Let me explain this in the simplest way I can.



I’m taking a deep breath now, because I can’t believe I’m going to do this: I’m going to give a mini-lecture on Physics. Me, the guy who got a D in all my science subjects!



Do you remember Albert Einstein?



My friend Albert said that everything is energy.



Remember his formula E=mc2?



Well, he believed that energy and matter are interchangeable. Because in a subatomic level, the most solid matter you can think of, like a table or a rock (or my biceps) isn’t really solid at all. Everything is a sea of vibrating energy. Ever changing, ever moving, at the speed of light. Thus, in a mind-boggling way, there’s really no difference between a thing and a thought. All is energy.



Because of this, everything is interconnected. We’re all inside this ocean of fluid energy. That means my thoughts and words can really affect the entire material universe.



Amazing? You bet.



When you start speaking like this, people automatically think this is New Age and reject it. Not necessarily. What I gave you are reflections based on the Theory of Relativity and Quantum Physics. (Note: From a scientific perspective, I probably will get an F with my explanation above. I apologize to all the scientists out there.)



Friend, use your words to create your desired destiny.



Speak Words of Faith. Believe that your words affect your universe.
