their 2nd floor area though is cozier compared downstairs
try their sweets etc. like the milo dinosorry, brownie ala modely obvious
a great wholesome place to bring anyone

BAIDO

Before & After I DO

this event gave me a lot of 1st

1st time to enter fairview terraces

1st time to enter CCF FV

1st time to volunteer 

1st time to attend BAIDO not as a participant but 1st time to serve & yet as a host

it was an honor & a blessing hosting such an event

it was so comprehensive, it was like a crash course on pmc & book 8

taipei

is there anything good to do in Taiwan?

is there food really cheaper than ours?

do i really need to speak Chinese when going there?

4 seasons

contrary to its sibling vikings, i highly favor them over the other

as posted before, yes vikings offers a few food not found in 4 seasons, yet its OK, no biggie. service is better, food served isn't frozen [salmon sashimi], & their bday month promo & cake is better too

midway

its a good film
quite rare i watch a movie that never bored me from start to finish, maybe due to reading subtitles

though if you're really into history, they may intentionally deleted the 2 bombs dropped on japan which for me is real reason they lost

vikings

whats the fuss abt. eating here?
yes they serve food u wont see in other restos like shrimp cocktail, caviar, etc.

yet over-all i wont return here if given a choice
their baked oysters are not generously served & u have to line up for it, unlike their sibling 4 seasons were u just order  & they'll serve it in your table
same thing with tempura, compared to dad's where it's given abundantly
also with salmon & tuna sashimi were they serve it a bit frozen
not very enticing comparing it with other buffets I've been to

how can we eat like a viking if the food u wanna eat are rationed?

Spoliarium

even if your not an art enthusiast
this painting by Juan Luna is worth the gaze
its the biggest painting we have & won medals when he competed with it
often misspelled, it's a Latin word where gladiators are held, stripped of whatever they have as they die & bleed
if your familiar with roman kindness, their way of torture was 'to die for' during their times

Another also died yet He wasn't deserving of it
no matter how cruel savage humiliating He been through, He still endured it all for you & me
He hung on a cross yet He made the hill on which it stood
He could've left anytime He wanted
it wasn't the nails that kept Him there, it was our sins that He had to bear for the salvation of us all
if only we would accept Jesus as our Lord & Savior
by the time He returns after His resurrection, all our wait shall not be in vain
