Well, the food is nice & ofcourse the price is nice too (hahah if you know what I mean).
Here are what we ordered:
- Luciano’s Paella Adobo (Php 329)
This was deliciooouusss! If I’m not on a diet, I might have gotten a 2nd serving. Oh well… ![]()
- Sarsuela Negra (Php 445)

When you plan to eat this crab or have some friends who’s going to eat it. Better wear the red apron

All in all, the food was really good. I just felt that the crab was wayyyyy too expensive.
Anyhow, it was a fun dinner, great company and all! 🙂
Mac: View Hidden Files in Finder

How do I view the hidden files and folders in Finder?
Finder is the files explorer for the Mac OS.
This is what I learned and would like to share with you.
- Open Terminal

- To see all hidden files, type the ff. in Terminal
- That’s it! You’ll be able to see all your system files.
- If you want to revert back to before.. See step # 5
- To hide all system files, type the ff. in Terminal
killall Finder

Mac: How to Install Windows OS on your MacBook
Posted by Rochelle Sy Chua On August 18, 2008
It was kind of challenging for me to install windows vista in my macbook. Basically because I got some errors and I have to do a lot of research before I finally made it to work. To help you save time, I’ll post here what I did and how it worked 😉
- Get ready with your Mac OS & Windows installers.
- On your mac, close all open programs.
- Go to Applications then Utilities then Boot Camp.
- Open Bootcamp Assistant, follow the online instructions
- Create a partition for Windows, I chose 40GB for my windows HD (I have a 250GB HD)
I tried going to disk utility then repair then tried boot camp again but it failed again.
After googling, I found the solution:
1) Start up your macbook w/ the Mac OS X installer CD
2) Use Disk Utility to repair disk
This time, it worked! No more errors, so I continued w/ Windows installation.
- Insert your Windows Installer CD then click Start Installation. Follow the onscreen instructions.
- Select “Disk 0 Partition 3 BOOTCAMPâ€
- Click Drive Options (advanced).
- Click Format, then OK, then next. Your Windows Vista partition is now formatted using NTFS file system.
- After you install Windows, your computer will automatically restart using Windows.
- Follow onscreen instructions to configure windows.
- When you’ve finished installing Windows, you’ll need to install the macbook drivers.
- Go to My Computer, select Drive D: then eject (windows installation CD)
- Insert Mac OS X Installation disc, follow the onscreen instructions.
- You’re done! woohooo!
In order for you to choose which OS to boot, hold down the option key while restarting until the disk icons appear and choose which OS to start, that’s it!

My Mac Gears (Part 3 – Bags)
Posted by Rochelle Sy Chua On August 16, 2008
Now you know what kind of gears I have. Now I’m going to share with you the bags that I have to carry them.
Here they are:
- Crumpler McBain Lovechild

I fell in love with this bag even before it was available here in the Philippines
Crumpler Bags are the coolest bags created, period.
I got this as a gift from a friend way back 2003. It was supposed to be my bag for the iBook. Since now, I’m using a 13.3†macbook, I can’t use this bag for the same purpose. My office laptop is a 15†HP laptop so I can’t use it also.
Anyway, I love this bag because it really protects your laptop as well as it looks so cool! Everyone just kept asking me where I bought the bag. 🙂
This bag is in display with my other laptop bags. And I’ll definitely find some way to make this useful again.
- Crumpler Salary Sacrifice
Since I already have a messenger bag, I decided to just get a laptop bag for my macbook. Though, I really really love the color red, I got myself a brown one.
This bag is quite heavy in my opinion and I ended up using it rarely. I still do like it though, I guess because it’s crumpler.
I bought this bag mainly because my macbook 13.3†fits it. The McBain only fits 12†laptops.
This bag is spacious you can put pens/papers/folders, your wallet, essentials, etc.
Here’s a picture of the back of the bag:
- Crumpler Dreadful Embarassment
I got this bag because I felt that the backpack is too heavy for me. I decided to go back to shoulder bag heehhe.
This bag is still too big though and I felt like a small person with a big big bag ehehehe.
It’s very spacious though and you will be able to put even 2 laptops! I tried it, I put my office laptop plus my macbook and there’s still space for notebooks and other stuffs.
Pretty good bag for those people who carry a lot of things 🙂
I think I have enough laptop bags already hehehee… I will not get any more of those for a long time..
My Mac Gears (Part 2 – Accessories)
Posted by Rochelle Sy Chua On August 16, 2008
Just to continue on… I protect my mac with available accessories in the market.
I have chosen the ff.:
- iSkin
This is a must-have especially if you’re using a macbook white. Dirt gets easily noticed and it doesn’t look good if we see a very dirty keyboard right? feels eeky!
iSkin covers almost every part of the keyboard areas including mouse click button and palm rest.
This accessory is also easy to clean, you’ll just need soap and water. After you clean it, you just dry it out and use again.
Simple, useful and a great great accessory for your macbook.
Made by iSkin.
- Radtech Sleevz

It fits your macbook perfectly like a glove. Magic? 🙂
Anyway, I really love this. I protect my macbook with this accessory then I put them in my laptop bag. It made me feel secure that my macbook is protected.
This is made by Radtech.
