#Makati branch

TV PATROL SEPTEMBER 16, 2024

Author's note: Our protagonist transcribes and translates an interesting segment of ABSCBN's nightly news report. Believe me these are real sightings and you should not fact check.

Content Warning: Mention of suicide. No one is harmed but it is mentioned.

To whoever finds my sketchpad, every research paper begins with an introduction.

Bad analogy, I started writing this with the Background Of The Study.

Oh well.

Today was miserable. Today was pleasant. Today was dark. And today was harrowing. Has a segment of..you know..the news ever stick out to you? Like it stays with you for a bit because you were a part of it? Not directly but you saw the catastrophe and you're doomscrolling at 2 am looking at yourself in a 3rd perspective. TV Patrol did a little segment on an incident at Makati today.

The report ate at me for hours. Different people, cameras, screams, and voices saw that glowing thing that was atop the building of the studio.

Maybe, just maybe my translated description of the news clipping does it any justice.

.

.

"A MYSTERIOUS GLOWING PERSON WAS FOUND ALL AROUND MAKATI CITY BEGINNING AT 5:37 PM AS POSTED BY NETIZENS.

According to our vigilant Kapamilya Netizens, a woman who appeared to be glowing like a lightbulb appeared suddenly on the top floor of ECH Building on Makati Avenue. She was standing on the edge of the building, flocking concerned citizens around the area she might fall into, convincing her to not take the leap. Suddenly, she disappeared as if she had not been there in the first place. The fast food restaurant and travel agency lost electricity shortly after her disappearance followed by the power interruption of several other connecting buildings on Jupiter Street.

(Video taken by @migstugs30497 on X)

"WAG KA DIYAN ATE! MARAMI KA PA MAGAGAWA SA BUHAY!" ("Don't go there, ma'am! There's still a lot you can do with your life!") [The video shakes as it zooms up to the setting sky broken by a sharp light green and blue light. The woman's glowing long hair flows in the wind as she looks down wordlessly]

"TAWAG TAYO NG PULIS!" ("Let's call the police") [The video taker turns to his companion who's dialing on his phone an emergency contact.

"WAIT LANG ATE! WAG KANG TATALON-- HA?! NASAAN NA SI ATE!?" ("Wait a moment, Ma'am! Don't jump-- Ha?! Where did she go!?") [Suddenly the woman is gone and the video taker leaves with the impression she left on her own or jumped. The noodle shop on the ground floor's lights spark then die].

In this video taken by another Kapamilya posted on X, the glowing woman is seen again on a building on Ayala Avenue. People plead for her to not jump, but she disappears again, worrying and frustrating many by leaving them confused and scared for her safety. The commercial building hosts 24 offices- temporary work agencies, printing and publishing offices, and an animation studio. These as well as this noodle chain branch were affected by a power interreuption leaving many works lost or unsalvagable.

(Video taken from Instagram by @maryjaniecutie)

"Ano yun?! May shooting star ba? Ang ganda pero bakit ang lapit niya?" ("What's that?! It's so pretty but why is it so near?") [The video is taken from a cafe in Legazpi village on the 3rd floor of a commercial building. It spots the glowing lady on top of the Makati Diamond Residences before it disappears like a signal]

"Ay, nawala na siya. Baka radio tower lang yan pero nag-twitwinkle siya parang star." ("Ay, it disappeared. Maybe it was just a radio tower but its light was twinkling like a star.") [Moments later the woman yells as the electricity gives out, immersing the video in black].

The electricity had also disappeared in majority of Legazpi Village. In this video by mary-janie-cutie, she witnesses what seems to be another apparation of the glowing lady going off and on a building, leaving it powerless and tumbling a domino effect.

And on 8:24 pm, the glowing lady was seen on the edge of the logo of a clothing store's flagship store in Ayala Centre. Security guards, police, firefighters, and people gathered around the building to beg it to come down. The security guard of the clothing store first spotted them on the edge and called for emergency services. But just like all efforts to save the woman, she disappeared and shut down all the lights and electronics of the Glorietta mall, SM Makati, One Ayala, Greenbelt, and even MRT stations Buendia to Ayala. Operations are postponed until further repairs are made.

Over 70,000 individuals were affected by the power interruptions and over 40+ hours of work were lost. As of right now, people are still being evacuated, rescued, and even some needed to be transported to hospitals due to injuries.

[The footage shifts to a young news reporter in front of One Ayala. He is surrounded by emergency lights.]

"It has been an hour since the glowing woman's disappearance. Authorities suspect that this is an act of terrorism performed by a criminal organization using threats of suicide and electricity as their means of control. Behind me are commuters struggling to find a ride home due to the MRT's closure. Some are opting to use private ride share apps, others are going to tough it out and brave the long lines at the Edsa Carousel. Ayala Corporation assures that operations continue as normal at One Ayala terminal for commuters to safely go home. PNP is advising everyone to stay vigilant for the Glowing Woman. If you encounter anyone with physical features beyond the human comprehension, immediately report this to your authorities. Jackie Torres- Patrol Ng Pilipino."

20.12.24 0118H | Premier the Samgyupsal, Bonifacio Stopover, BGC

As a night shift girlie, my girlfriend got to my place around lunchtime and spent the day sleeping til midnight. I didn't mind. I know how tired she gets at work and I'm happy to spend time with her even if it meant just staring at her in her sleep. She woke up at midnight, at syempre naghanap ng food haha. We wanted to try the midnight buffet in BGC, unfortunately it was already closed by the time we got there (not sure if closed lang sila the day we went there or talagang hindi na offered yung midnight buffet) so we searched for other options and found this Premier branch that operates 24/7. It offers unli Samgyupsal and hotpot. My girlfriend invited my brother (who stays with me during the holidays). It's just so cute to watch a foodie eat! (My brother majors in culinary and is always down for food trip.)

1624H | Route 95 Diner, Makati

Since I've been practicing OMAD (bc of recent medical concerns), sinabayan ako ni girlfriend kumain that day lmao. We went to this diner that offers unli platter of chicken, sausage, ribs, and Salisbury steak. Serving was hefty that I was only able to ask for a refill of the Salisbury steak and half of the ribs. The sausage was hard to finish though kasi di ko gusto yung taste huhu sorry. The rest of the food were good naman.

Also, really nice interiors and we were the only guests when we arrived. Unfortunately there's a group of friends that came in about 20mins after and istg these folks lack etiquette sa lakas ng boses at tawanan myghad. My girlfriend is seated right next to me but we struggle to have a conversation since we can barely hear each other's voices. We wanted to try their desserts pero we decided to leave na lang after dinner.

Since I'm still craving for ice cream, we went to Farmacy for a quick fix. Got there around 2034H then headed to the Taguig TLC Park to see the Christmas Village. Unfortunately, we did not anticipate the traffic and got there at 2243H, which left us only about 10 mins and we were not able to have a full tour of the place. Will try to come back again next time.

21.12.24 1509H | Marugame Udon, BGC

Had a late lunch before she went home. We have plans to meet up again for Christmas til the 26th, if all goes well.

My Wangan Maxi Tune Career Returns 2024 Edition [Timezone Arcade Araneta City Gateway Mall II & Gateway Cinema] - Part 7 [First Half] (Recorded: Jun 19th, 2024)

Hey, hey! It’s me! 😁 And welcome back for another installment of "My Wangan Maxi Tune Career"! I returned in 2022, and now I'm continue it, this 2024. Yes, it's been a while. I haven't shared my WMMT's play progress in this current year, with the last record I posted was on May 31st, 2023 (Pls, go check it out in the "previous" section) before it went into troubles. And by that, I'm talking about my PC desktop problem. *sigh* 😫😔 Nevertheless, I have now SO MANY photos and screenshots that need to be uploaded on my current social media sites right away before I move on to my current update.

Once again, If you haven't seen my "first & second half" of "Part 6", then please check out my "previous" down below (w/ highlight).

IMPORTANT NOTE(S):

#1: Once again, no #OnThisDay throwback post for this date.

(And) #2: Whoever say's "FFA" was making me unhappy... 😥 Because I can't find the acronym on the Google search... This is why, this game is not ready to meet. Even though, they've already launched the old vanilla installment.*sigh* 😔

So, without further ado, let's get started:

1st to 6th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• [1st to 3rd Images] June 19th, 2024, I'm here at the specific TZ Arcade branch in Araneta City Gateway Mall II, with my two beloved paper dolls (🐻👨‍🍳 Chowder & Panini 🐰👩‍🍳). Upon entering the said mall and TZ branch, the atmosphere was pretty nice and clean, much like I visited every TZ branch. Anyway, I've redeemed the ₱200 free Power Load coupon through my gold membership TZ Power Card 💳🕹️😁, with an additional ₱150 load for a good measure 💵. However, there's one problem though... There's no Wangan Maxi Tune cabinet at this particular TZ branch. 😥 Damn, it'll be better if I play it inside this awesome atmosphere, alas it ain't happened. 😓 So, should go back to Trinoma where I previously played? 🤔 Nah, because as far as I know, there's another TZ branch located somewhere at the huge "Araneta City" mall. So, I venture myself to search for another TZ branch with my trusty Google Maps app 🗺️📲, in about a 1 hour ⌚.

• [4th to 6th Images] And said an hour later, I finally found another TZ branch located at the OG Gateway Cinema. 🎞️🕹️😃 Huh, you know what, the layer reminds me of going to the Ayala Glorietta mall in Makati City, where there's a TZ branch beside the Cinema. And that was my "Real Life Story". 😁📖 I was in my High School days 🧑‍🎓🏫 (3rd year High School to be specific; 2010 to 2011) when my former BF ("Best Friend") 👤 invited me to a meet-up for playing a music rhythm arcade game (named "DJ MAX Technika" 👇🎶🎧) at the aforementioned Glorietta TZ branch, which I suck at it. But, I was also playing my debuted "Wangan Maxi Tune 3DX Plus" 🚘🌃🛣️ arcade, which is my preferred over that music rhythm. 😊 Yeah, who doesn't love playing arcades after watching an awesome movie (say the new upcoming Disney movies, etc..). I've been there, but I never actually attempted that in my life. 😥 As for the actual arcade branch, it matches my memories back in 2012 😊, and no doubt this is one of the most unique branches unlike the Glorietta branch because besides the TZ branch was this Taco Bell / Pizza Hut stand, which is an awesome nice touch if I want it to grab something delicious Taco/Pizza from the "Yum" brands! My paper dolls loves eating Taco/Pizza! Yum! 🌮🍕😋 Sadly, I don't have funds for ordering food. Bummer... 😥😓

7th & 8th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

[jopetkasi]

i don’t think i am fit for love anymore. simply because i don’t have love to give. I can’t even love myself to begin with. 

you just can’t give what you do not have. 

i can entertain prospects, go on dates or even have steamy sex but if there is no love to give, all else is superficial. 

this guy who my cousin introduced, have been in constant communication with me, which is totally fine except that i have this feeling that this dude is being nice to me kasi my cousin asked him - alam nyo na, parang pakisama or something. 

by the sum of all failures in my life, i should know by now if this acquaintance is legit and would gain traction in my life. And right now, I feel that this is sort of getting to know you is a phase...

unless i am wrong. 

perhaps, i am still worthy of enjoying a nice love life...

tonight we had a virtual chat that went on for hours until we both got hungry and decided to meet for late dinner. 

and of all places, he asked that we eat at Shakeys Pasong Tamo. And this branch I tell you is famous for clandestine dates. alam mo eto yung kung me kabit ka or ayaw mong makita ka ng tao na me kasamang iba, you bring them to this branch because it is so remote and not accessible no one gets to see who you bring to this place....

but then who am i to complain? 

guy : ang liit mo pala no? i am 5′10 and you are?

me: 5′3 yeah i know....

guy: and your pwet is big. nice buns....

me:  yeah yung taba ko dyan napupunta....

after eating...

guy: ang lakas mo pala kumain

me: turn off ka? lol

guy: no that is a compliment. i like comfortable dates...

me: but you got me to this branch where either putas or kabits are brought....

guy: hinde nga? 

me: look around...

and so what was supposed to be a short meal turned to hours of conversation about a lot of things...hindi sya yung chat na just for the sake of talking. 

until i checked my phone and realized i was past my bedtime. it was 3am and he has to go back to Makati Med for rounds....

Case: Tshiatel Uy vs CA

(G.R. No. 102726, May 27, 1994)

In Relation to Article 91 What Constitute Community Property

FACTS: 

Private respondent Natividad Calaunan-Uy was the common-law wife of the late Menilo B. Uy, Sr., for about thirty-six (36) years. Their union bore four children — Melito, Jr., Nilda, Melvin and Merlito — all surnamed Uy.

On October 31, 1990, soon after the death of Menilo Uy, Sr., petitioners Tshiate Uy and Ramon Uy initiated before the Regional Trial Court (RTC), Branch 65, Makati, Metro Manila. Special Proceedings entitled "In the Matter of the Petition for Letters of Administration of the Estate of Menilo B. Uy, Sr."

On 28 February 1991, private respondent filed a motion to hold the special proceedings in abeyance. The day before, or on 27 February 1991, private respondent filed for "Partition of Properties Under Co-ownership," against the Estate of Menilo Uy, Sr. (supposedly represented by their four children).

Petitioner Tshiatel Uy filed an omnibus motion, alleging that by virtue of a Hong Kong marriage, she was the surviving legal spouse of Menilo, Sr. She prayed that she and her son Ramon Uy be allowed to intervene in the civil case, submitting at the same time their answer in intervention.

ISSUE:

Whether or not Co-Ownership can be claimed by the alleged surviving spouse.

HELD:

The decision of the court was set aside reinstating the order of the trial court. The action of partition is predicated on the alleged co-ownership between Natividad and Menilo, the property evidently acquired during the period of their common-law relationship.

Art. 147 - When a man and a woman who are capacitated to marry each other, live exclusively with each other as husband and wife without the benefit of marriage, their wages and salaries shall be owned by them in equal shares and the property acquired by both of them through their work or industry shall be governed by the rules of co-ownership.

Pinoy Chef YouTuber and a former PIE Channel celebrity host makes its homemade version of 'MrBeast Burger'

MAKATI, MANILA -- A former PIE Channel celebrity host of "Swerteng Sulpot" named Ninong Ry, whose real name as Ryan Morales Reyes makes a homemade version of a viral fast food chain called "MrBeast Burger". This was after he left to assign the first interactive television channel in late mid-July 2022, before shifting to the online cooking tutorial content on his own YouTube channel.

MrBeast Burger, a food chain named after Jimmy Donaldson, also known as "MrBeast", a North Carolina YouTuber who founded a virtual restaurant brand, making a flagship fast food chain originated in Wilson City, the said state in America last December 2020. Filipinos introduced into the aforesaid fast food chain in Makati City, Metro Manila; just a several months after the branches expanded in Australia and United Kingdom to serve franchise internationally. The viral burger company became an internet sensation, due to uniqueness, massive size and richest flavor.

At the start of demonstration, Reyes started his homemade cooking process by simply toasting brioche buns to be associated with butter, followed by the smash-style patties, which were cooked to perfection. The burger condiments featuring fresh pickle relish, onion and sliced cheese, which were finely layered for a perfect texture and flavor, as stated from Ninong Ry's YouTube video.

The burger's uniqueness lies in the use of their homemade "special sauce", consisting of ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard, combined with a minor disclosed ingredient that they refused to reveal as a pre-caution without using its trade secrets in this video platform. OneNETnews cannot independently verify the authenticity per the actual sake of homemade cooking tutorials online.

The brand is expected to develop even more with the support of one particular influencer like Reyes. The said YouTube video received thousands of views, with viewers lauding the successful outcome and expressing interest by trying it out to yourself at home.

Per successful self-taping of their homemade MrBeast Burger's cooking tutorial video, he was planned to create more culinary creations for their respective channels, with the inspiration of "MrBeast" himself in the United States of America.

EDITOR's NOTE (from Rhayniel): This news article was not sponsored by "MrBeast Burger" in Philippine franchise branch upon educating amateur chefs followed from the video platform source. PIE Channel is a parent firm on this Internet TV station and News Organization of OneNETtv Channel and OneNETnews.

Lao Beijing Makati Branch

[thegarlicpressph]

A Feast Fit for Royalty: What’s New at Paradise Dynasty Greenbelt?

We recently visited Paradise Dynasty’s Greenbelt 5 branch and it’s the best decision we made all week!

Known for their bold take on Chinese cuisine, this restaurant has a reputation for combining tradition with innovation and they delivered in every way possible.

Let’s start with their Greenbelt exclusives, which you won’t find in any of their other branches.

The Black Pepper Beef was a standout for me. Tender, juicy beef coated in a savory black pepper sauce, it had just the right balance of spice and flavor to keep you reaching for more.

Then there’s the Spicy Szechuan Crispy Chicken, which is every spice lover’s dream! Crispy, fiery, and packed with those unmistakable Szechuan flavors.

For a sweeter contrast, the Stir-Fried Pork Rib in Honey Sauce was an absolute delight. The pork ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, with a crispy coating that soaked up the sticky, sweet honey glaze beautifully.

Pair it with the La Mian noodles in Signature Pork Bone Soup, a rich, comforting bowl of hand-pulled noodles exclusive to Greenbelt when served with a Crispy Pork Chop, which was sooo tender and flavorful.

Of course, no visit to Paradise Dynasty is complete without their signature Xiao Long Bao. This iconic dish features eight different flavors of xiao long bao, each one bursting with its own unique twist. Each bite was like a tiny explosion of flavor in your mouth! If you’ve never tried flavored xiao long bao, this is where you start.

Other dishes that wowed us included the Lettuce Roll with Homemade Sesame Sauce, a simple yet refreshing, crunchy appetizer that’s perfect for kicking off the meal.

Then there was the Scrambled Egg White with Fish and Conpoy, a delicate dish that’s light yet packed with umami thanks to the dried scallops (conpoy).

One of my personal favorites was the Crispy-fried Crystal Prawns tossed with Salted Egg Yolk. This dish was the perfect marriage of creamy salted egg yolk and crunchy prawns. Paired with the Yang Zhou-Style Fried Rice, it made for a complete and satisfying combination.

We ended our meal with two unforgettable desserts. The Black Sesame Glutinous Rice Ball in Ginger Soup was warm, comforting, and spicy, with that deliciously nutty black sesame filling oozing out of the chewy rice balls.

And if you’re more into cool, fruity flavors, the Chilled Mango Pudding is a must-try. It’s smooth, creamy, and perfectly sweet! It’s a refreshing finale to an indulgent meal.

Big thanks to Paradise Dynasty for this royal dining experience. Whether you’re craving Chinese classics or innovative takes on your favorites, their Greenbelt 5 branch is a must-visit. Pro tip: don’t leave without trying their Xiao Long Bao — your taste buds will thank you!

So, ready for your royal feast? Let me know which dish you’re most excited to try!

Paradise Dynasty | Level 3, Greenbelt 5, Makati City

09/27/24 - Funhan Market Pasig

So we have first date pero hindi totally date, dahil pinagbigyan ko lang yung yaya niya sakin last time na hindi natuloy mag soju ramen. Sinundo ko siya sa PBCom traffic that time kaya ang tagal ko (Friday night naman pero ang traffic grabe) akala ko sa Makati lang din kami kaso ayaw niya baka makita kami ng mga kasama namin (alam niyo naman may mang aasar) then nagpunta kami sa BGC kaso napaka daming tao kaya nag roadtrip kami papuntang Funhan market sa Pasig kung saan mejo malapit na sa kanila. Then namimili kami ng noodles, ako hirap kasi ang dami 🤣 then I tried the cheese noodles, siya din pero magkaiba kami cheese din sa kanya pero hindi same sa kinuha ko, tapos kumuha kami ng soju apple with yogurt at sprite, tsaka kumuha na din kami ng yelo sa plastic cup, sabi nung cashier bawal daw inumin dito yung soju kasi makikita sa cctv (ewan ko bakit bawal pero sa ibang branch pwede naman) then pumuwesto kami sa dulo yun pala para itago yung soju para isalin ahahaha. Then okay na yung noodles namin pwesto na, we talk like we never talk almost everyday, well syempre pagod yung tao kailangan ma relax manlang. Habang nagkkwento siya tinitignan ko siya sa mata like kaya ko ba makipag titigan sa kanya then I realized na ang ganda niya sa paningin ko 🥺 pero syempre act like normal parin, kwentuhan hanggang sa di na namin namamalayan yung oras na late na at ubos na din yung soju at ramen, then hinatid ko na siya sa kanila.

To be continued....
