Join us for a memorable family lunch at the Blackbird, nestled within the iconic Nielson Tower, where exquisite cuisine meets stunning panoramas.

Family was informed by their friends to try  Blackbird at the Nielson Tower  and asked Mom Violy if she has ever been there before. Mom Violy had no clue what it was asked Carmina to look it up and see what kind of food they serve.  Carmina gave the phone number to Mom Violy make a reservation for a family lunch. On the day of the reservation, we arrived early and were allowed to enter before the official opening time of eleven o’clock in the morning. We decided to stay in the lobby, where we were asked if we wanted anything to drink. Carmina took videos inside and learned about the history by talking to the staff. One hour later, people started coming into the restaurant and took their seats at the reservation table, browsing the menu to decide what to order. Our family members were running late, but we didn’t get bored thanks to the friendly staff. More customers kept arriving and placing their orders, and we couldn’t help but glance at their dishes, curious about what ...

Beating the Deadline

The only part in life I hate the most when your deadline is approaching.  Your assigned group mates are not done with their share of responsibilities.

In limit time your project is due. You get all stress out thinking it won't be done on time.


Living in the Philippines there is a saying that they are always late. They don't come in time and they do things for the last minute.


This is what I hate so much when you have to deal with people who lack responsibility and your grade is also on that boundary.


Today, my son needed a project to be printed out for a project for school. It was a children's book that two of his classmates had designed. 


Luckily I was able to find a place that closes at 6:00 PM. Most printing press companies close on a weekday at 5:00 PM. It is hard when you come home from school late in the afternoon. Still have unfinished projects to do and have to turn it in the next day.


There was a place that was able to save my son's project and other's group mates grade on the line. 


The name of the place is called, Alfox Printing Services. 




I can highly recommend them. We came there 45 minutes until their closing hour. They we're able to accompany us and have my son's project done due to short notice.


My son placed all the projects in a usb flash drive. 


They had use it to save his project on their computer.


Later when we had paid PHP 1,500.00 ($30.00) to make into a book. I was told to come back the next morning at 9:00 AM, My son had informed them he needed to turn it in before 10:00 AM.


As we went back home later after one hour had passed. The person from Alfox Printing Services had called me up to inform me they wanted my son to see the layout.


My son went back to their store. He came home with the children book all made and printed.


This is the first time in my life I felt so relieve for my son to be able to turn his project in time due to short notice.
