Basta Pasta at iba pa's Beef Lasagna (REVIEW)

Image
Hi, everyone! Sorry if I post rarely; we're still in a Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (you do the Googling) so I cannot go out of the house that much, making life still boring as it was on the earlier part of the quarantine. It's also kind of difficult to make quality but interesting content. Of course, I will do my best to give blog posts with great quality (OH MAH GASH, SO ADVERTISEEENNGG). Anyway, enough self-glorification. Let's move on. So last May 23, 2020, my classmate sent me a message through Facebook's Messenger; he's selling beef lasagnas on behalf of a food store, Basta Pasta at iba pa (I think it can be translated into "as long as it's pasta and many more") located in Project 4, Quezon City, Philippines, beside Savemore-P. Tuazon. The lasagnas are packed inside rectangular microwaveable containers.

Screenshot from  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ-nLUHZt1k The musical play is aired for free not only to entertain us but also to raise funds for the ABS-CBN Foundation's (a foundation run by a broadcasting channel here in the Philippines) Pantawid ng Pag-ibig Program (sorry, I don't know any proper translation for this), which helps poo

The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall (2011) (REVIEW)

Hello, everyone! Since the quarantine will be extended up to May 15, and to add more variety to my daily routine (to be honest, I'm fed up with the same things every day) I decided to start binge-watching YouTube videos. Luckily, my aunt sent me a YouTube link of a theatrical play, The Phantom of the Opera , performed at the Royal Albert Hall in the year 2011. She said that it was a great play. It starred Ramin Karimloo (as the Phantom) and Sierra Boggess (as Christine DaaƩ). It was aired by the YouTube channel, The Shows Must Go On! for 48 hours.
