We saw this first at the Korean Folk Village, but saw them in most tourist areas. Quite interesting. Just like how they make those noodles in the Chinese restaurants 
We actually bought some and it tasted good
Click below to watch how they do it. I was not able to take a video so I looked for one in youtube:-)
James did everything for the newly renovated house. There were only a few specifications I asked for and one of them was to order for me the mattress from the Four Seasons Hotel! I have stayed in two Four Seasons Hotel ( Singapore and Vancouver ) in my life and in those two times, I remember having a comfortable experience and slept very well during my stay there.
The mattress is so comfortable because it is plush yet firm at the same time. The reason for this is that it has a pillow top layer on top of the mattress
Other important components of our bed:
1.) Down comforter
2.) Comforter cover with the highest thread count that you can get! We got ours from Rustan’s department store
To order you need to contact the hotel that is nearest to your shipping address. So for us, it was the one in San Francisco:

Heart2Heart loves hearing success stories and how people invent and discover great ideas! Thank you Cara De Ocampo and the team from Beyond Yoga for introducing us to Christopher Harrison!
He told us that he was last in Manila when he did a show called Spellbound almost 15 years ago. He was an acrobatic dancer in Broadway - Chorus Line, Footlose and many others. He is the founder of Anti Gravity and he choreographs opening acts for Mariah Carey, Beyonce and many more.
Chris demonstrated for us the different moves
Beyond Yoga will be offering Anti Gravity in their studio. 13 instructors will be trained and they will have 15 hammocks

Believe it or not, we have not yet moved! I have been packed and ready since July 5!
Previous Entry: Packing Up July 5, 2011
We have been moving things slowly and many things we have decided not to take with us except for a few things. One of them is our Sub Zero. When we got married 17 years ago and moved to our house, one of the first investments we made was buying a Sub Zero. They did not have it yet available in the Philippines at that time, so we had to even get it from the States and have it shipped here.
This is it being dismantled and removed from our kitchen. Good thing I was still able to take a photo. The white wood has already turned somewhat beige in color
This is the inside which is still okay except for a few spots where paint has been removed already through time and from opening and closing the refrigerator
We transferred it to the new place and we called Focus Global to transfer it. We trust only them to do the transfer to make sure that it is done properly and correctly. We had it repainted first before putting it in the kitchen. And here it is now in it’s new home. The photo is not too good but the wood is now back to white and it looks like brand new and still functioning well
Congratulations once again to my friends, Dr. Arnold Salud, Dr. Alnette Tan and the whole team at American Eye! For always being in the forefront of technology! It’s good to know that we have the most recent and advanced technology in case we need care for our eyes!
A new treatment for cataracts has just been unveiled by American Eye Center (AEC), which promises to provide patients with the most advanced all-laser cataract procedure—the first of its kind in Asia. Dubbed the Alcon LenSx femtosecond laser surgery, this new equipment brings an unprecedented level of safety, speed and precision in treating cataracts, and enhances the host of options for surgical-based methods that AEC offers its clients. From a surgical perspective, advances in cataract treatment have improved the way ophthalmologists deal with this condition in the past two decades. We have seen how the merger of technology and surgical ingenuity contributed to making cataract surgery the modern-day miracle that it is today. Currently, we can remove the cataract through a very small (2-3mm) incision in the eyeball using fine surgical blades and implant a multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) that restores full functional vision in patients after surgery. This is called “Phacoemulsification”, presently the standard in cataract practice worldwide. Unfortunately, this procedure has often been mistakenly referred to as “laser eye surgery”—which it is NOT. It is more appropriate to call this procedure “small-incision cataract surgery”, “sutureless cataract surgery”, or “no-stitch cataract surgery” for the layman. True laser-assisted cataract surgery has never been available to patients until today—with the introduction of the Alcon LenSx femtosecond laser surgery. The Alcon LenSX femtosecond laser differs from the traditional methods of cataract surgery by the absence of the blade. By using very short yet intense bursts of near-infrared light, the Alcon LenSX femtosecond laser technology is able to create extremely precise subsurface cuts without manual intervention The blades used to create the small incisions in the eye have been completely replaced by this laser, making the incisions more precise and predictable. In addition, the circular opening that is created in the human lens in order to access the cataract (called a capsulotomy) which was traditionally performed by human hands has now been replaced by the femtosecond laser, making the capsulotomies more architecturally round and centered. Studies have shown that this is very important in intraocular lens stability and refractive predictability of surgical outcomes (In one study by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, femtosecond laser incisions achieved perfect capsulotomy diameter accuracy in 100 percent of cases). Finally, the actual cataract is also fragmented by the femtosecond laser making it much easier and less traumatic for the surgeon to remove and clean it up prior to placement of the IOL. In short, the femtosecond laser has replaced many of the steps in the cataract surgery that were previously performed by human hands, i.e., resulting in less surgical error and better predictability of outcomes. Results are more precise than any other previous or current methods of cataract surgery.
Dr. Cesar Ramon G. Espiritu, who specializes in Cornea, External Disease treatment at AEC, said that this new technology shows the company’s commitment to provide the best eye care to its patients. “The Alcon LenSx femtosecond laser surgery is currently the most advanced method for cataract treatment, and we’re proud to be the first in Asia to offer it,” he says. “We want thousands of Filipinos suffering from cataracts to see that treatment is now even faster, much safer, more precise and definitely pain-free.” Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in the Philippines, with an estimated half a million Filipinos blind or having some degree of visual impairment. This disease, which hits almost everyone due to aging, involves the gradual formation of a cloudy film in the lens of the eye, varying in degree from slight to complete opacity, and obstructing the passage of light. Espiritu emphasizes that patients must decide their preferred method of surgery together with an expert ophthalmologist. AEC is backed by a team of Associated Eye Specialists, the most experienced and longest-running EyeMD group practice in the country, which comprises 17 doctors with various subspecialties. AEC also boasts a staff of highly qualified optometrists, nurses and counselors to provide patients with personalized quality eye care.
The American Eye Center has been breaking new ground when it comes to ophthalmic care since its establishment in 1995. Accredited with the Department of Health and the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, AEC is fully equipped with branches located at the Level 5, EDSA Shangri-La Plaza, and at the Level 4 of Greenbelt 5, Makati City.

The first of its kind in the Philippines, this new equipment is very much in demand in all premier eye centers around the world. Its acquisition by American Eye Center reinforces the latter’s commitment to be at par with global standards of quality and excellence in ophthalmic laser treatment. The WaveLight Refractive Suite is known as the world’s fastest refractive platform . It combines two of the most advanced lasers currently available for performing LASIK surgery—the WaveLight EX500, a 500 Hz repetition excimer laser; and the WaveLight FS200, a 200 kHz Femtosecond laser. The FS200 femtosecond laser is impressive because of its speed and ability to make the flap that is needed for LASIK surgery. There is no need for blades. The surgeon is given the freedom of choice with regard to diameter, shape, thickness, depth, angle and location of the flap according to the individual needs of the patient. Integrating seamlessly with the FS200 is the EX500, the fastest excimer laser in the market operating at 1.4 seconds per diopter of treatment. It can perform a wide range of customized treatments. A very distinct advantage of this system over other available systems is that the Excimer laser is networked with the Femtosecond laser. With this system, All Laser LASIK becomes very convenient for the patient. The entire procedure is done in less than 20 minutes. The WaveLight Refractive Suite brings an unprecedented level of safety and precision, allowing surgeons to provide consistently excellent refractive and visual results when performing laser vision correction. American Eye Center has been breaking new ground when it comes to ophthalmic care since its establishment in 1995. According to Dr. Benjamin Cabrera, chief operating officer, and a specialist in Cataract surgery, American Eye Center pioneered many of the globally accepted treatments now widely being used locally. “We are continuing this trend with our investment in the femtosecond technology, because we know that quality and safety must never be compromised when it comes to treating eye conditions,” he added. American Eye Center’s level of excellence is backed by the Associated Eye Specialists, the most experienced and longest-running EyeMD group practice in the country, composed of 18 doctors with various subspecialties. The center is also staffed with highly qualified optometrists, nurses and counselors to provide patients with personalized quality eye care. American Eye Center is a full-service diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical eye facility fully accredited with the Department of Health and the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation. It houses the latest diagnostic equipment for the early detection and monitoring of all eye diseases such as Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy and Cataract. Its location in Greenbelt 5 in Makati City has a laser suite, an operating room, a recovery room, examining rooms, and a spacious reception area. Clients can also choose from a wide array of elegant eyewear from SPEX, a world-class eyewear center adjacent to the American Eye Center and managed by The Optical Shop. The company’s main office is located at the level 5, Shangri-La Plaza, EDSA cor. Shaw Blvd., Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City.
