If you happen to be familiar with one of the best Japanese food along Kamagong, Makati Philippines, chances are you may be familiar with Suzu Kin. This is the same Japanese restaurant that has been a “tradition since 1981” and continues to carry the same sumptuous Japanese delicacies that include their all-time hits like the Katsudon, Fish Tempura and the usual Sushi.

Well now they are in the San Juan City area, located at 147 Luna Mencias St. which is actually a branch from the original one that is located at 9753 Kamagong Street, Makati. For a minimum single order of PHP500.00, you can even have them deliver food right at your doorsteps. All you have to do is call them at (02)218-4120 or via mobile phone (0917)3415888.

For the people on a budget, you can still eat heartily with their special Bento Box which costs only PHP 99.00. But if you want a real treat, two main dishes (which come in BIG SERVINGS) you should try out would have to be the classic Katsudon and the Tuna Steak. You won’t be sorry!

Major parts of the Philippines went under water today as tropical storm “Ondoy” unleashed its wrath, leaving thousands stranded and residents climbing to their rooftops for drier ground.

While the provincial regions like Pampanga are known to suffer these flash floods every time there is a storm, Metro Manila was totally unsuspecting of the floods that hit major parts of the country. Hard hit countries included Marikina, Quezon City, San Juan and Paranaque which are still seeking help from rescue teams. The power for these affected parts of the metropolis was also cut by MERALCO to avoid further casualties from execution.

Here are some video footages taken by local residents tied up with the destruction that Typhoon “Ondoy” caused.

I couldn’t help but notice the improvement in the Greenhills area in San Juan City, Philippines. Unlike before when traffic would get all tied up, it seems that traffic has been decongested. No longer can you see the people who carelessly double part despite “No Parking” signs placed. I guess it is all because of the clamping zones enforced.

For the record, if you park at areas where parking is not allowed, it looks like you will be parking there on an extended fashion. Unless you are able to pay a penalty of P1,000.00 and have the tire clamps removed, you are not going anywhere.

Some people are just cheapskates. Parking over at the Greenhills Shopping Center only costs about Php 20.00 for 3 hours and an additional 10 thereafter. Why would you want to avoid that if you want to worry less about being clamped.

Unlike in other cities where they tow, Barangay Greenhills employs a park there permanently procedure. It may not be pretty, especially if you get caught in the fines of Php 1,000.00 issue but the law is the law.

Lastly, why would you park in a No Parking zone? Unless you have not be educated, I guess the logical thing to do is pay a small amount of parking fees in place of inconvenience and of course a horrendous time trying to leave when you are done shopping.
